Final Fantasy XI Then...

Apa,

Sent you a PM as I got a message from Nyo regarding 2-5 which requires quite urgent response. Posting here to draw further attention to it for you.

Cheers

Well im in bastok, as i given up on exping in dunes, it got to crapy after i learned i was making more exp soloing than partying with idiots. So i can packup and head to jeuno and help you get the 1 of the chips inthe uncapped area. If Hic still needs her chip, we might as well get it done in one go.

Close i get to 4.2, the closer i am to that Rare/ex G.K

Is this a prime opportunity for LS members who have jobs to level to try and organise it so we can party together? I mentioned this to Tsing and Tobal in the last week so definately think its worth looking at. At the moment I need to level both WHM and BLM (currently at Lv27 and Lv30) although I also want to take WAR from Lv10 > Lv20 so I can then take NIN to Lv37 at some point.

I am basically ready to go with WHM and BLM so if there are people with jobs arround Lv30 it would be sweet if we can get some decent parties going. I remember when leveling RDM we had a couple of awesome LS parties outside Norg arround Lv30...

Also, Slarty being your hardly on anymore can i have the gloves and sword i lent you back, i need them back for this lvl30 party thing.

I logged out last night in the uncapped area after the Gray Chip dropped, I can hang around in there this evening if anyone else needs one, mine dropped after about 10 minutes, mobs were too weak and easys.

I reckon we could squeeze you in there Wefde, at some point we'll have to set up the actual run. My first priority for CoP at the moment is to finish with the Aquaducts so that we can all leave that behind, I think this will be our 4th venture out there Friday night and with any luck we can make it our last.

In other news didn't do too much last night, did a drop more xp on my NPC and dinged it to 46 and lost a cliam on the Unvanquished to skytiger this morning. Painful as it looks like the alla spawn info on the mob is wrong which would explain why my AFK camping isn't working on him. Appears to be a spawn from quadav in the area not the elder...

On top of that lot completed a couple of NMs for the Jaguar Mantle quest so I need to pop and pick that up tongiht!

[Darwock]

Tomorrow night? Is it happening on Thursday after all then?

[Tsingtao]

No its Friday I'm just confused as to what day it is

Also, Slarty being your hardly on anymore can i have the gloves and sword i lent you back, i need them back for this lvl30 party thing.

No prob i'll get them to you.Been busy with other things at the mo,real life getting in the way !

[bagpuss66]

Items will be with you now,any probs get in touch.
Should be back playing a bit more,good to be back!!

What an incredible battle!

Me, Moot and Apa are now on to CoP chapter 3.

I'll admit I thought things weren't gonna go well. Our original set up was:

NIN/war
WAR/nin
BLM/whm
SMN/whm
WHM/blm
WAR/nin

I was to solo 1 mammet, the SMN (Nyoneme) was to kite the second, and the 2 WAR/nin duo the 3rd. However Nyo got called away at the last minute but luckily found a replacement which was another NIN who would take responsibility for the 2nd Mammet.

I was concerned about this battle. Mostly as I remembered reading about you guys preparing for it and mentioning strategies that seemed to involve getting killed O_o

However we managed to pull through it without any deaths but it was an incredibly hectic fight. Basically having 3 battles on the go at once was so exhilerating yet I had to focus on doing my own job whilst trying not to be too concerned about how everyone else was doing.

Soloing my mammet wasn't too taxing but it became clear early on that my damage wasn't major. Then I remembered my elemental ninjutsu and the damage started to top up. Think I got it down to 50% before the 2 WAR had defeated their mammet and I got reinforcements. Aftr finishing mine we moved onto the final one (Apa made me feel good by saying I was "kicking the **** out of it [my mammet]" in comparison to the other NIN ). Things got a little concerning when Moot got a DC just as we started oin the final one so we had to hold back then as soon as Moot reappeared, burned it up asap.

WIN!

Truly a great battle. CoP is a great expansion.

You think thats an incredible battle? You should wait until ZM14....

I've heard the stories and none of them are pleasant

[Tobal]

The deaths plan was PlanB for us, being we had a conventional setup of Tank,Healer,Debuff,DDx3, if the kitiers had failed, we just had to make sure 1 mammet died, and we would reraise.

I?m trying to leave Zm14 to Divine Might as I?ve completed it?s setup. So all I need is some crazy fools to do it with.

[Tsingtao]

I'm tempted to do ZM14 as Arch Angels, speaking to people it seems the Divine Might quest can be done regardless of whether you've done Arch Angles or not. My plan is still to complete the Zilart storyline even the missions that everyone seems to deem to be worthless as there's no reward other than the story.

Having said that I do want divine might as well!!!

Congratulations on the win on 2-5 last night, would say more but I can't read the post our swearing filter won't let it through.

Last night was quiet again for me just a quick NPC xp session getting Karyn most of the way to 47. Also weapon upgrade 5 opened for me tonight so next step should see me be able to open the advanced NPC jobs woot!

So now the question is who has what NPC manuals, I already dought the fortitude for Stalwart Shield, will get the manual for fierce attacker when I complete the quest unless anyone already has and then will just be looking for soothing healer.

[Tobal]

anyone got lvl19 job? i need one last push to get my Smn to 20, then im free again.

Are we planning 3.5 for next week then?
