Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Vanicent]

Ok, so that's now:

-I need to do the Windurst one (none activated at present),
-Wedge &Talizker needs to do the Bastok one,
-Mihki & Darwock need to do the San d'Oria one.

Tal, just in case you don't know, you can only have one Eco Warrior active at a time, so you'll need to complete Bastok before doing either of the other two.

Does anyone else have an Eco Warrior quest that they haven't completed yet?

[Darwock]

I have none logged, I always make a point of not accepting the quest until the point of leaving to do it - I learnt the hard way after being stuck on the Bastok one for so long (died 7 times before I got it completed and off my quests list!)

Actually I didn't know that! I got the Bastok EW quest when I was about level 8 and didn't know what it was for ages - I seem to remember someone shouting for members once in Bastok and wondering why I never got a reply when I said I was RDM8 Am I the only one that has to do all three (or indeed more than one)?

[Tobal]

Sword/Shield (If you have these, great, if not, I'll buy my own)
(I won't be using ranged weapons, so equipping Happy Egg there)
Neckpiece (Holy Phial)
Rings (double VIT+2's)

all covered ^^

Last night in Crawlers Nest was fun... 1st party lasted the usual (for this week) 30 mins until the DRG puller managed to come back with about 20 crawlers and the whole party was wiped out in a matter of seconds. After a raise there were two high levels that wiped out all the crawlers which was kinda cool to watch. We then dispanded and I stayed with my flag up for another hour until I decided to form my own party. After my previous pi$$ poor party leader venture in Yhoator Jungle it was refreshing to end up with a nice balanced party. Unfortunately on the second fight our RDM healer cast dispel on a Lizzard instead of our crawler and that linked with 2 others...

I thought we were all going to be dead again when out of a nearby tunnel ran Tox and Natasha to save the day /cheer. Had a bit of a chat with Tox as I hadn't really spoken to him since he helped with the skull for my sub job quest...

Then a whole hour of perfect exp'ing before it was 1am and people had to go. We had 3 RDM's which worked perfectly with one main healer, one enfeebling and me doing BLM roll.

Still no level 38 for me (wanted Raise for tonights Maze fun - just incase!)...

Oh yeah, Ice was also leveling at CN last night. Can I just say DAMN DUDE, congratulations for getting RDM38 and Rank 5 in two months. With 3 more days play than me in 3 months less, you have some enviable free time ^^

Finally, is the 9-9.30pm slot good for Promyvion on Sunday (sorry I can't get on during the day but I will be ready to start as soon as I log in)? Are we starting with Dem?, and is there a confirmed list of who is in?

*Update* For the static 10 party will I need to be WAR/SAM rather than SAM/WAR - don't know how well a SAM can tank? Shame if so as I have most of my SAM equipment for 10-20 but no WAR!

I think the promy plan was actually for earlier than 9:30 more like about 7 in the evening, however, it's going to be mainly a farming session for Animas so we should be able to come out when you come online and then go back in... at leats, I think that's possible.

The lv 10 thing should be no problem, we're all decent players so we can make it work whatever jobs people use.

[Vanicent]

Does anyone have any idea how long a trip to Emptiness lasts?

[Darwock]

Sad to say if it's tonight I won't be able to take part :-(

never mind, there's usually a lot of shouts for the mission in Jeuno so I'll hopefully still be able to go at some point.

[Vanicent]

It won't just be you Darwock.

I'm sorry to have to say that I can't take part in Promyvion tonight either.

[talizker]

You won't actaully miss completing the missions as I understand we are just farming for the drops to get the (errrr) 'stuff' you use to weaken the boses.

[Vanicent]

Right, that's something of a relief then.

I'm up for Promyvion at ANY weekend for the immediate future, on a Friday or Saturday night if possible though. Sunday nights are not as convenient.

[talizker]

Following on from yesterdays farming in Dem it would seem the easyist way to obtain all 3 Recollections / Anima's is to go to each of the three Crags and fight Wanderers on level 1.

Dem - Pain (Hysteroanima)
Mea - Guilt (Terroanima)
Holla - Fear (Psychoanima)

I think everyone who went yesterday should have at least Hysteroanima. If everyone can have Hysteroanima and Psychoanima for each BCNM then things should be somewhat easier. With this in mind a trip to Holla (after erasing memory in Dem) at some point this week would be beneficial. There was talk of more farming tonight or tomorrow...

With the Promyvion stuff going on this week, as well as (hopefully!) another RSE attempt on Thursday (anyone up for farming in Ordelle before Thursday?) are we going to leave the Static 10 start until next week?

[Darwock]

Erm, excuse the daft question but what IS Promyvion and how do you go in? I've looked at the shattered telepoints before but nothing happened, so I assume you have to trigger a quest somewhere?

it'd be nice to get some in-game background on what the whole emptiness thing is all about..

Hmmmm, this is what you (probably!) want to know:

->Open Spoiler<-

1) Visit Lower Delkfutt's Tower. Cutscene as you zone in.
2) Visit Upper Jeuno. Cutscene as you zone in.
3) Go to the Upper Jeuno infirmary, talk to Monberauxe. It's his infirmary. Cutscene.
4) Go to Ru'Lude Gardens and head into the palace. Proceed left around the main stairweel go through the door. You'll have entered the guard room. Talk to Pherimociel for the last cutscene you need.

I'm sure you will have done most of it already

The cut scenes while you get the mission and when you first enter the Crag(s) explain whats going on. They are just three zones leading to three BCNM battles. Once you have defeated all three then you have access to the new areas (and further COP missions).

I wont be on tonight for more promyvion, have to go to wedding reception and my guess is it will take up most the evening.
