Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Tsingtao]

Think we will go back on Sunday though I have logged at the Sacrarium. We needt o look at this we're having a bit of a mare really. We were 1 hour late starting, if we'd kicked off on time we'd have done the lot in one night. We didn't sort out lotting properly everything had to wait to drop as passes weren't done and then we left without the last drop. All in all there were a lot of accidents from everyone that led to the ending we arrived at.

Shame as the corse fight was superbly done as was the farming and leadership from Tobal. Need to focus on making sure we get all the other bits right as well.

As it goes I'm semi looking for an HNMLS as well, not really reaady yet but will need one.

Just been looking about on the web for ways of making money being a DRK and found this.

Is this worth my while having ago are any of the drops worth anything.

Do i have to have gotten some way through CoP to be able to enter the battle field like you have to have gotten the CS to be able to do the Crags.

[Tobal]

I think I?m going try and get 3 different lvl.60 assaults done tonight just so I can get somewhere in opening up the second missions in each area. So no worms

As for Hnmls, I?m going to wait till I finish my tour of duty in dynamis(i.e. full relic gear) before replacing, although I doubt I could give much commitment to camping for in one spot for 3 hours?

I don't think I had passed on the last key - I was unable to do anything when the key dropped due to being dead and after the raise I overlooked it. On all the others it was the first thing I did.

Network problems can't be accounted for, they had been building up for a while so short of realising I was a liability and giving up at the early signs of a possible d/c, there was no avoiding it. As for the cock-up, someone asked for escape so I obliged, should have been easily stopped.. and I couldn't believe my eyes when we all warped anyway after I'd been running around for 20/30 seconds.

[Tobal]

Sorry to break it to you, but there?s no money in ENM60 solo, in fact you?ll end up spending money just to get to the fight? (10k bets for dice roll 1-49 to get a teleport to the place for 2k). Not rewards outside 2k exp and the chance of a Rare/ex earring for your job (I got the samurai earring 20/20 uses of +22 att)

The majority of those items which drop from the fight look like rare/ex to me meaning they're worth nothing as they can't be sold. Personally I'm not a fan of items which carry nothing but enchantments (unless its the empress ring or npc earrings) as I feel there is an unfair delay in their use when you look at how little time the enchantment actually lasts.

Thats just my opinion however and if you're not interested in their monitary value, they might be worth going for in your eyes. As for access to the ENM, Pulling the strings is located in Movalpolos (or whatever the area is called) and as such doesn't require any of CoP to be beaten for access. You might need an item to get in however.

Didnt notice all the Rare ex tags sadley.

Wasn't reffering specifically to that key D both the 2 we had were distributed rather than lotted straight out. The Coral one I have dropped out of the treasure pool during the BLM fight. Sealion while we were killing fomors, always dangerous that way, people invetories get full and the like so I don't think it was just one occurence or one person.

Network foobars we can't do anything about its just bad luck, but any of us could have got out of range of the escape. Like I say if we'd got going on time we wouldn't have run into any of it as we'd have been on our way to the NM about an hour sooner with a reasonable expectation to complete the thing.

And the Solo ENM is expensive I sued 3 yags, 3 regen and 10 x-potions on my only try to win. Luckily was geared for a shadowlord run later, mind I was unlucky just repeatedly buffed the mannequin

Part of the problem there is obviously Mosley is out of the loop - has anyone pointed him in the direction of this place? He sent me a tell early in the evening to ask about the cutscenes, it was only then I realised he still didn't know the plan was to do it that night, and he still seemed caught by surprise when we gave the call to gather together.

[Tsingtao]

Yeah we need to get Mosley on here or lsmes up before the event to avoid the delays. I think at the moment Mosley is PC-less and hence unable to research anything or check on here.

We can always use the friends plus thing to message him in advance, thats what we used to do on the promyvion runs, particularly with jstrtrx and princesblade. That might be easiest get the message out and get the LS message up. Set the time back 30 mins to ensure people get there on time, tals always good but I know I can be late if I'm not paying attention.

I told him after reading the forum yesterday morning for you guys. I had no idea what he had to do though, so just said that you were planning on doing it last night.

Be great to get him on here hes a cool guy, but his pc is bust at the moment hes playin on the xbox version like me!

[Darwock]

I've just remembered something that might make it difficult for me on Sunday - going to the mountain bike world cup up in Fort William - the last event is due to finish by 5pm but I don't know how long it takes to drive back, I would assume I'll be OK for 20:30 but...

About last night wall breaking mission, as anyone ever try getting the bombs to self destruct next to the wall? It would seem logical being they have the bombs in there next to all the walls, and there no 100% drop on the mines. I?m not going be on tonight but next time we do it, barfire and stun its self destructs until its low on life and then let it go off. There just no way SE would let you wail no a wall for 10-13 mins.

[Darwock]

The one that blew up last night was low on health and it killed nearly all of us.. seems a little risky but it's worth a shot. But I'd beg to differ that S-E wouldn't let you do something like that, seems exactly like what they'd do.

[Tobal]

The one that self destructed blew up around 50% Hp and we didn't get barfire on in time, and 2 people still survived. Maybe we could have wedge solo the bomb as a bst? but would that take longer than 10 mins?
