Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Tobal]

I would rather have the Avatar Slept while we kicked the crap out of the tonberry, last time I did it no1 slept avatar during the last ? of the fight and I got hit by 2 sear lights ><; managed to survive both but it was dammed close and rare ended up dying, and think someone else did for the 1st of 3 searing light at the start.

How about we do LS run get everyone that wants the mitts through as there bound to deaths so why not do them in one go!

I?m up for a Mannequin body getting now I the Soboro, I can turn my attention to gathering the pieces. So I?ll need help getting the Head and Hands.

[Darwock]

I assumed that it was the usual NM summoner trick of:

no avatar there... HELLO! carby appears + searing light at the same time... avatar gone again - do you actually get time to sleep it? If so I will happily put my sleepga II to some use for once.

I already have the offering, just need to get a prelate key to open the door (unless someone has a spare lying around)

[Tobal]

As far as i remember, Carby stay out and the Tonberry can use Astral Flow 3 times during the fight along with lvl high blood pacts, along with tonberry TP moves(Every Bodies grudge, Throat Cut). It acts the same as a Dynamis Smn mob, and the tactics is to Sleep the Avatar and kill the Mob, astral will go off but it'll be slept... wakes up and BANG!

Been a fair few months since we did Carbuncle Mitts. Pretty sure though that when it was triggered the NM popped immediately with Carbuncle already summoned and it fires off the first Astral Flow immediately. I seem to remember the healer we had being pretty poor and I never got fully cured so the second killed me easily.

[Darwock]

Guess we need to start spreading the word for people to get their Uggalepih offerings then, don't ever want to have to do that part on a tight schedule...

[vwilsonuk]

Well I don't really do that either, I always wanna get in trading blows which is what a lot of people apparently have issues with. The carbuncle mitts would definitely make it a little easier to justify doing it.

Have you tried RDM? Its quite good for that.

And yes, the opportunity to pick up some SMN gear would be most welcome so I'm up for the trip (as long as there isn't some requirement like already having got all your avatars on your SMN job or something). Don't know anything about the quest right now but I'll do some reading.

[Darwock]

Hic, i don't want to fight just for the sake of fighting, it's to build TP so I can chain with my avatars.

Stuffs

I'm up for helping with carby mitts run, although don't think i need a pair myself with smn being 2 and all, and my complete inability to play mage jobs ^^;.

As for other stuffs I desperatly want an O hat so if there gonna be a run organised (eventually) for that then please please count me in ^^ have my cluster ready.

BCNM 20's i'm up for, i can bring Ninja 20, or i could level my RDM the last two levels from 18->20, Wouldn't mind a mannequin body and i have plenty of seals i've gathered whilst leveling BST.

Dunno whats happening as far as Garrison goes but i don't think we should do any more 40 caps seeing as the rewards are pretty pathetic, although if somebody desperatly wants something from the 40's then i don't see why not. Also the LS seems to have fallen shy of ENM's recently, i'm incredibly keen on getting my Thief as high as possible in preperation for ToAU release so the more XP i can get on that job the better... ^^

I think it's fair to say that myself and several others desperately want a variable cape. But no point trying to get a group to do something they don't want to do (especially when we can't get any alternative garrisons on the go either).

With that said though, I seem to remember the whole idea behind that first evening of level 30 garrisons was that it was something to do for fun, and not necessarily about rewards. I think that still applies, I'll do any of 'em cos they rock! I think it'd be nice to do any we have a valid trigger for any time there's a lull in activities.

Ah cool, didn't know you could chain with an avatar (thought you could just burst). Shows how much I've played SMN.

Just want to concur what was said here. I've not done a single Garrison with the intention of obtaining any reward. It's always been about having something to do. To be honest, the only Garrisons that seem worth doing if you are after monetary rewards seem to be the level 20 ones and the lvl75 Cape Terrigan battle.

[Darwock]

Rare, you still got those bullets?

[Tobal]

As for the O Hats as an LS we don?t have the Man Power to take or the experience of handling such a dangerous mob, I luckily got mine with along with Akashi thanks entirely to Bayan for getting his Hnmls out to help which did a great job with no deaths outside the trip for getting there(someone fell down the wrong hole ).

Im not sure how hard this mob is for lvl70 tank, but it was giving trouble to lvl75 pld and nin dual tanks we had, every one sata?d between them and drk/blm stunned ahell of a lot off a attacks.

Could we do it with what we have?

Certs to come
Stunners ? apa,daragon,darwock,
Tanks ? tsing, rare, meric, Beven
Sata dd ? moot(close to 70), Tobal, saerik,
Support ? wedge, tali, hic(if she can get lvl60, to dangerous else)

[vwilsonuk]

I am currently working towards level 60 but at this rate (one level each weekend) it'll be another 5-6 weeks. If I can get a party a couple of nights a week that'll pull it back a bit, but right now I wasn't planning on levelling Hic that intensively.

Rare, you still got those bullets?

About 83 of them. Luckily the best bullets (barring the stupidly expensive Gold Bullets) that NIN uses are available from NPC at 90 gil each so I can top up the stack easily.
