Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Ian(not Ian)]

As you may all be aware ol' Darkjinxter is having problems getting a sub-class skull drop. Numerous attempts have tried and failed now so if any of you have an hour or so to spare and can run me through those pesky mines I'd appreciate it.
Also can you let me know the least dangerous route to Jueno from Bastok for 2 lvl 20 players please. Last 2 attempts have resulted in KOs.

[djtickle]

From Bastsok to jeuno id go Konschtat Highlands ---> Pashhow Marshlands ----> Rolanberry Fields ----> Jeuno.

If you stick to the path ur pretty safe that way withouth sneak and invis.

I should be on tonight I'll take you to get it, I'll be home around 18:00 if not a little before. Best route to Jeuno is from San d'Oria in my book thats how I ran my level 1 mule out there, pashow is the route I took Tsing and that works as well.

Best way to handle it is to set your HP at home points along the way so if you are KOed you can just pick up from the last outpost. If you're in Gusgen for the skull though its a fairly straight forward Journey.

Kon Highlands -> Pashow -> Rolanberry Fields -> Jeuno, I assume you have the maps?

[Ian(not Ian)]

I do have the maps Tsingtao.
Appreciate the help.

No dont think so mate, just didnt get enough take up. Plus I beleive you have promie mea and dem on sunday and i have cop 5-1. So will have to see if we can get summit else sorted out. ><

[Rep]

What error you get Rep?

More down to the wireless at Uni being poor, can't even log into Playonline, network is busy or unavailable 100% of the time

Bevan buddy I hope you read this. Something unexpected has come up and I need to drive some relatives up to Scotland tomorrow morning which means staying the night so I can drive them back the day after. Someone in the family has fallen terribly sick.

I may get back on Sunday for around 8/9pm, which would be around 3/4pm your time. I hope that's ok and we can still plan a Promyvion double run. If you could start asking around for help shortley before I return then that would be great...

So far we have...

Bevan: WAR/NIN
Yenyoju: WAR/NIN
Daviravi: BLM/WHM
Mariaj: WHM/BLM

...So, we only really need DD, a 2nd BLM might work as then we can bounce ES+Para (edit: I forgot Maria can do this ><). Shouldn't be too hard to find someone in the LS or even randomly. I'll get Tickle's phone # off of him and then I can let him know when I set off from Scotland and then he can let youse all know.

RNG might be good for EES. I'll ask Vanicent if he fancies helping out as we did Mea together last Friday. Buju might be up for it as well.

Maria probably has the biggest job on her shoulders with the huge-ass 90% HP attack it uses. That's exactly when not to panic.

We're going to need a truck load of Anima for the Mea. We won't use all of it though so the left-overs should work on Dem. If we're spot-on both should only take two hours (from using 2hrs on 1st fight) max.

I'm absolutely gutted, I had loads of stuff planned for this weekend. I also needed to farm a remaining 30/40k before Erase rises into stupid figures again. When I get back I bet it's on 200k+. I need to buy that as soon as, even if it leaves me with 0gil. I'm tempted to do an all-nighter tonight and then hit the pro-plus hard for the drive.

I'll let Yen know what time it's going to be on Sunday when I log on tonight, hopefully he's still up for it.

More down to the wireless at Uni being poor, can't even log into Playonline, network is busy or unavailable 100% of the time

That's wack. Even if you could get on you'd be disconnected every 10mins. Is 56k dial-up not an option? lol.

Only had time for a quick Assault last night but it all counts to saving for my Amir Set.

Gonna have to try and push on with some Mamool Ja Training Grounds Assault as the boots are sexy.

Wow check out the updates to SAM.

http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics/ff11eu/detail/889/detail.html

Look pretty good.

[C']

Hasso (Level 25; Recast: 1 minute; Duration: 5 minutes)
Grants a bonus to attack speed, accuracy, and Strength when using two-handed weapons.


Broken beyond belief :O

[Daragon]

Those abilities look somewhat overpowered to me - A sam/war (which is probably cookie cutter) will have absolutely no negative effects from them, plus the reuse timer and duration timers are too short and too long respectively - I would have thought a sensible developer would have reversed those timers so that they are more inkeeping with a war's berserk/defender abilities.

[djtickle]

Yup with the amount of TP they get, they are gonna be pretty powered up. Lets hope the other DD jobs get stuff to match or it could be very unfair!
