Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Tobal]

Didn?t get much done, exp?d on Friday and got 5k buffer so I can go on dying a few times now with out deleveling , After the party finish due to many deathfor the ninja tank when set about doing Roadrunner (3man enm) with 6 people, got 1.3m drop and 999exp perfect! Saturday was mostly spent playing Guitar Hero and then dynamis which we totally whooped in record time, with one wipe when I know apa and i where afk, came back to a dead body 2 mins later?. After that I stayed to the end and was rewarded with the Sam Relic glove drop. Sunday I did nothing but a few skillups (Polearm 221 to 226) before logging of for the day.

Which bring me on to CoP 4.2, I think we should attempt the fight on Wednesday. Go out farming the tail feathers tonight, looking to get 2 mist melts for each melee(so 16 feathers)

Sounds good to me Tobal.

Time to get moving on the next CoP.

Me and Apathye camped Celeste-eyed Tozberry again on Saturday who popped on second round of placeholders. Being the only ones there, with no competition, meant we could fully prepare before claiming and the fight was so much easier. Took him ages to use Mijin Gakure and when he did it only hit me for 48 (compared to the 1848 previous fight) and Apa took 0. No drop sadly.

We spent another hour or so killing coffer mobs with no luck before we headed to Monarch Linn with Moot for an ENM50. We lost

Obtained the map of Uleguerand Range yesterday although I think it was more through fluke than judgement. Involves journeying to the top of the mountain (which is scary in itself) then dropping off the peak hoping to land in a tunnel halfway down. If you miss you have the traverse the entire zone again (and I used 7 Silent Oil on my first trip so it isn?t cheap). I thought I screwed it up as I landed on a ledge halfway down and looked up and saw a hole further up which I assumed was my target. For some reason instead of dropping straight down to start again I dropped to the left and remarkably landed in another tunnel. Looked around (not expecting to find anything) but sure enough the ??? for the quest was right there. Considering the horror stories I hear of people trying this I consider myself very lucky.

Does the Enhance "Meditate" effect on Saotome Kote stack with that on Myochin Kabuto?

[Tobal]

It does stack, single piece = 120-140tp, both pieces = 140-160tp

[Tsingtao]

Well a quick lizzie update from the world of tsing, seen her pop 5 times today claimed 4 times and no drops. This could get tedious

Yeah, i'm ready to move on this. I will hopefully be available tonight - not 100% what i'm doing. Wednesday will be fine for the fight if everyone else is good to go. Really looking forward to this one (^_^)

[talizker]

Can't get on /fume. Just getting various POL Errors at various points...

/sigh

[Tsingtao]

I think I should be good for Wednesday...

In other news bounding boots are mine 1/8 in the end, thanks for the various offers of help got there in the end.

[Darwock]

Wednesday's good for me too.

I'd also like to move on the BCNM20s at some point, ideally do the leeches first as they could potentially drop the head too (meaning we may be spared from doing the fish). If we have three summoners at that level with at least Ramuh then we can do it all in one session - only one person uses their 2hr per attempt, the others use thunderspark to pick up secondary hate and keep the leeches occupied.

if not it's possible with two smns (me and tobal?) but we'd need to think carefully on how to use the third job, and we'd have to stagger it so our 2hrs were available each time.

[Tobal]

Cool wednesday for the fight it is, after last night farming running run(just wedge and me) we got 2 feathers... 1 mist melt, i've been told Darwock has pile of feathers to use, so it best you give them up to wedge, tsing, tali, unless you guys plan to farm tonight (i can't Glacier dynamis), ideally looking 1-2 per melee and 1 on tali. Mage should be staying outside and way fromthe wyvern during to nasty AoE's and if it lands on you(you have to get close to use the melt) it cause big damage.

As for the bcnm20's how about friday day? its a day off so i assume most of us are iff so we can do the 2hr plan of both 2hr'ing, then coming back 2hr later to do it again. I still need to do the pugil one for the head(as smn) and Crabs for the body(as ninja).

[Darwock]

*Had* a lot of feathers, binned them so I could carry meds on a recent exploit ><

But I'll go get more... 16 may be a tall order but I'll try.

As for the bcnm20's how about friday day? it a day offi assume more mosto fuse so we can do the 2hr plan of both 2hr'ing, then coming back 2hr later to do it again.

Yeah that's cool but with the leeches I believe it needs 3 AF blood pacts to finish it off, so we need a way of tanking them during the 60 second cool down for one of us to go again. edit - one option is to retreat the avatar and run back for the entrance but it's risky!

[Tsingtao]

Obtained airtank number 2 today for just 143k, so I'm pretty much ready to try the Rutter NM again when everyone else is. Taken some fair shopping ot find them but I'm good to go...

If I can get these I'm down to the Joyeuse and o-hat being my last big drops.

[mikewl]

I will look later on and see if I can find another Air Tank, then maybe Thursday or Friday we could do the NM again.

[Darwock]

Sorry folks, only got 5 tailfeathers and now I need to watch battlestar galactica.. if anyone's got time get up there and get as many as you can.
