Final Fantasy XI Then...

Talking of BCNMs when are we going to do this BCNM60 in Den of Rancor?

Who needs it?

Me, but the problem is theanu is afk moving home so won't be around for a couple weeks. Last time we talked about this (after ks30's)

its was

Tobal - Sam/war
Wedge - Brd
Meric - Nin
Theanu - Whm
Apa - Blm
DD - spare place

its the same job setup as last time, except the last DD place which could be anything.

When you planning on doing it i rekcon i could be 60 by the end of the week ish if i just exp all week. Depending on my luck with parties.

Although i should really put some time into my AF gear. Anyone got any time for some eldieme necropolis coffer key hunting the next couple of days, SKILL UP! lol

[C']

Actually I?d be up for helping with Coffer hunting as I need to activate the latent effect on the Senjuirinkio I got last week which basically means I need to perform lots of skill chains.

[djtickle]

Nice one Rare, thats cool. How many of us will we need to kill these mobs, i beleive they are quite hard, as they gave me and a couple of others a going over the other day.....

[Jei]

Right i've just finished SIN so i'm ready for this tonight, i'l probably just potter around a bit in the world tonight and try to level up a bit. Got a feeling it's gonna take me a good few months to get to a lvl good enough to party with u guys

Na not really mate, my drk is lvl 53 atm. But im having to come back to lvl other jobs now for different situations that the game brings up.

But what i find is that, most of the time you will exp with strangers but when it comes down to missions, quests etc thats when you will spend times in groups with the LS members.

Thats cool though as there is almost constant a LS chat going on.

I think the coffer mobs will be Easy Prey to me now but I can?t solo them as skeletons and ghosts are notoriously difficult for Ninjas so we would need at least healing support. Ideally though, I activate the latent effect quicker by performing high level skill chains (lvl2 or lvl3 ideally).

This means we either need someone who can start Fusion which I can close with Blade: Jin for nice damage (plus undead will be mega weak too it) or 2 people who can create Distortion so I can drop a Blade: Ten or Ku on the end of to create a level 3 Darkness (not so good for undead but my damage should still make it worthwhile).

I think I can also close a Darkness with high level SAM, DRK, and WAR but it depends on what weapons they use.

[djtickle]

ok, cool. Anyone fancy it? When are you around Rare?

Ill give a shout in the LS when you can do it.

Just out of interest has anyone ever done any of these

* Throne Room BCNM 60 - Kindred Spirits
* Waughroon Shrine BCNM 60 - Grimshell Shocktroopers

It can drop a weapon called Vassago's Scythe which seems to be awsome as it goes for 1m.

Are the coffer mobs your on about in Garlaige Citadel, I need to spend 30-40 mins when I get back gaining level 70 but im free if you need me afterwards, wouldn't mind testing out some new equipment there.

Would only have Axe to use, at about 230 skill at the moment, not sure if I have the power needed for the skillchains.

[djtickle]

They are in eldieme necropolis matey.

[Jei]

Ok, final question before I sit patiently waiting for the worldpass. Can someone recommend what type of character is good for a newbie? and where the best place is to start for that character when I get the worldpass.

I like the sound of a White Mage but also want to be able to go out battering stuff by myself which kinda turns me to being Hume?

[C']

Wedge would be perfect. I?m pretty sure Spinning Axe can start Fusion. I think Wedge should also have Mistral Axe at 230 skill which we can also use to create Gravitation (Dark & Earth) should Wedge want to use a cooler looking move. Both are lvl2 skillchains so either gets me 3 (I think) WS points towards activating the latent effect

Actually DJ, have you levelled Great Sword at all? Power Slash > Rampage > Blade: Ku would create to a level 3 Darkness (5 WS points).

[Tobal]

Well if you overall outlook is mage related but unsure if you want to melee, tank, you can?t go wrong with a boring balanced Hume.

[djtickle]

Sadley Rare when i started i didnt know that it would be advantous to lvl scythe as well as g.sword.

I need to do a skill up session with a g sword.

[mikewl]

I got all them WS Rare, so should work out ok.

As for which race and job jeimuzu_uk, if you want to be able to fight a bit maybe Rdm would be better.

Rdm is not a great Melee but is better than whm or blm, it also has healing and damage dealing spells.

Also don't worry too much about Race, go for whichever you prefer, Stats later in the game can be balanced to fit your race.
