Final Fantasy XI Then...

[talizker]

Pretty sure I got the stone and handed it in for the Key Item also!

[Darwock]

Personally I'd rather do the mission first, as then you get the enjoyment of seeing it for the first time as part of the story. Going into the Promyvion spires the first time was awesome, it wouldn't have been as good if I'd already done a few ENMs and got familiar with it.

Anyway, is that key item (Astral Covenant?) a one-use affair? will we all need to hunt down more florid stones if we want to go again?

[mikewl]

Yup its a one use only thing and that is the correct key item.

Thinking about it I think your right, do the mission first if we can.

[Tobal]

Well we?ll wait on Tsing/hic answer for 3.5, and by the looks of it?ll have to wait till the beginning of next week if we need to replace or not to attempt the fight.

In the mean time Dobsonfly?s If we can get enough people for this would you lot want to attempt it on Friday or Sunday night? We could E-mail Bayan to show up to.

Just to make sure, do you know that the ENM battle in Shrouded Maw is completely unrelated to the mission battle? The thing you battle in one is different to the other so it's not like it can be treated as a practice for the 'real' thing.

[Darwock]

Yeah that's what I assumed, but it's still nice to get the full impact of the main event - you only get one chance to see things for the first time

[mikewl]

What is that dobsonsfly thing?

Yeah - that sounds cool. Will have to be Saturday / Sunday for me.

12x NM fly in SiteA(could be 24x flys can?t remember), Basically we?ll need a keg load of Damage, so if we need a 10/12 people PLD, SMN and Couple of BLM we?ll be on our way to a win.

PLD 2hr, Blm-ga, Smn Astral, every one else run in 2hr to pick off the fly?s

[Apathye]

We have got 2smns in the ls for sure (maybe more) and 4blm.

[Tobal]

I'll put LS message for those that don't read the forum, as we'll be doing repeated runs anyway till everyone gets what they want(hat and ring for me).

[Darwock]

I think I'm unlikely to be available for the dobsonfly thing, so I'll have to raise my hand now and say you're one blm down... sure there's plenty others interested though.

[C']

I think there are 10 flies in total and each one killed has the possibility to drop any of the following:







I think the bandana is guaranteed drop from all 10 flies (and is mostly junk to anyone with an Emp Pin), the other 2 are somewhat rarer (and probably what most people will be after).

I wouldn't mind coming along but I'd prefer to be involved in the battle rather than simply have a group of BLM & SMn nuke them to death whilst the melee lot what they want.

For the ENMs, I had expressed an interest in joining them - if there's still a 6th slot free consider it filled

[Darwock]

Can't log in ><

Never had a problem like this before - after I select the character, at the bit where the screen fades out, you hear the waves and then the title music changes to the music of wherever you logged out, and the game starts... basically the screen stays dark and the title music keeps playing (until it reverts to the old theme).

Then after about five mins I get 'no response from the FFXI server'. That's the third time, not looking hopeful for joining the ENM at this rate.
