Hey everyone, if you've been paying attention you'll know that CoP is somewhat easier now. I've gone from 2-5 to 8-1 in the past few days alone! But now I need some help. Anyone up for a bumrush through the final few missions? I'd like it done ASAP, so I guess saturday night (9pm EST?) would be a good time to aim for.
Negata > Make that 8-3 (10/07/01 11:48)
Negata > lol nm (10/07/02 04:28)
Tovari > Is it really that easy to solo? (10/07/03 02:10)
Negata > Uh not really. You could get up to the airship fight solo if you really wanted to. I just kind of waited outside BC entrances for other people doing the missions to come along. With some random BST80 JP dude I joined up with around 6-3. (10/07/03 05:32)

Anyone interested in helping me farm a Koggelmander this thursday night (US time lol)? It involves a L83! Bugard NM.

Magic damage is very welcome. I'll need lots of it. So BLM, SMN, SCH? A tank would be nice, too.

Anyone with a Maze Tabula M03, Maze Voucher 07 and runes 005, 013, 017, 018, 041, 075, 094 is very acceptable, but I should be able to do without.

Ok, most of you know Klaital's planning a swift belt run at some point. I'd like to participate in that, but I'm about 3 battlefields away from being able to. So! I'd like to make a general call for help. First up is the fight at Monarch Linn v. three Mammets. This can be done, supposedly, by 3xNIN/DNC with a WHM to support each, or using a supertank strategy. Personally, I'd prefer the latter since I'd be able to pick up Jettatura along the way. And it seems like a better idea for farming the items needed to stabilise the warps, which I also need.

I guess the supertank strat would require 1x tank (me, on blu, is simple enough), 2x WHM to support the tank, and 3x DD with some small capability to heal (me on BLU again, DRG/mage or DD/DNC).

Of course, most of you have more experience than I at this and I have no idea what I'm doing! So I'm completely open to suggestions. I have three yellow liquid on hand and a lot of potions.

I'd like to do this this weekend, sometime. Saturday, preferably.
Fait > I am obviously at your disposal if I'm around. I can fill in pretty much any spot at 40. (10/02/04 14:32)
Klaital > I'll have my NIN40 gear on hand on Saturday morning. I'm available until Dynamis, which starts at 1:30pm PST. Alternatively, Sundays after about noon PST (10/02/05 12:05)
cealia > oh snap my comment didn't get posted. sadface. i can help if it's early saturday. (10/02/05 13:19)

09/09/13 08:19 Assault Rank up!(open)09/09/14 09:22(12)
I'm about to find myself with a lot of free time! TIME FOR FFXI PLANS!

Is anyone interested in doing some Assault missions for pure rank up?
As in, do each mission once for each rank in order to raise my/our
mercenary rank? At this point, I'm just gauging interest. Depending
on that and any possible life issues, I'd be willing to get some
action happening.

Plans so far are simple. 4 runs a day (by picking up an extra tag some
time earlier) until all 10 Private X class missions are complete. Then
we bitch and moan about trying to find the warhorse footprint for the
second promotion quest and give up. WHO'S WITH ME THERE YO

Boy, howdy!

So, today we failed at the final ACP fight. It was pretty silly but at least it had some nifty music! We decided it wasn't worth the effort of climbing the tower under cap to try again and all HPed. I had to run, since a classmate of mine missed a lesson this week and I had to take their assignment to them before their shift was over.

I get home, and viola! A Divine Might shout's going through Whitegate. After considering it for a while, I sent a tell and got myself in on it. Cealia saw the shout too and jumped aboard. Tovari caved in and came along too.

We used a supertank strategy. The first fight was pretty smooth. We managed to do pretty well, but still only had MR down by the halfway mark. Turns out no one was prepared for the MR's sleepga WS. I don't think any of us expected this first fight to be anything but a learning curve, though.

We decided we'd swap out a WHM (Cealia) for a RDM (who happened to be a friend of mine, the same one who setup the other DM run I was getting people for). The second fight went excellently. Except that the supertank got bound and died right at the beginning. If it wasn't for that, we would have won.

Come the third fight, we were pumped for action, and knew we could win. But then EV decided that she was going to start using Spirits Within at this point, which screwed us over. On top of that, MR spawned a mandragora pet which made things real dodgy, like. Still, we managed to get EV down to 30%, after benediction, as well as all the others dead (except for TT).

Then, it happened. My internet decided to play up.

It only happened twice, but during my first dropout everyone decided to push on, entering the BC without me. I logged in shortly afterwards, but couldn't eter the BC since they'd already started fighting. And they won. The phrase "gfhgdjdgfmfhjm" came to mind.

Most of them agreed to go again for me, as well as a COR someone invited out to rep a couple of previous dropouts (they won with 16...). Apparently, though, 5am is a time in the US where people start passing out uncontrollably. The only conclusion I can come to is that Squeenix knows that DM is the only fight I've ever wanted to do, and I'm likely to quit after I beat it, so they're stopping me from ever getting it done because they're greedy and want my money!

Congratulations to Tovari and Cealia, though, even if I am a little jealous. I like to think I deserved this particular win, since I helped flesh out and coordinate the strategy a lot. It sounds conceited, but it's true!

ANYWAY, being nice guys, they've offered to help me get through it, as well as others who still needed it. Izz, Neko and Treasa are welcome to come along, if they still need it. I don't think Treasa reads this much, so if anyone sees her around, let her know for me since my times are iffy. I'm aiming for the same start time as what we did today (12ish EST).

After four and a half years, I finally managed to get a job to 75! Which is sweet because DRG is awesome. Except for group 2 merits. Those are all kind of boring.

The merit setup I'm looking at so far is this, in slight order of importance:

8 Polearm
5 DEX
5 Jump recast
5 High Jump recast
5 Angon
5 Strafe - It's either this, or Deep Breathing, but strafe looks like it'd be more valuble over time.
4 Critical Hit Rate
8 Blue Magic/Ninjutsu - Subjobs are also effected, right? These are the only magic skills I'd need on DRG.

I'm also considering the following:

8 HP - I don't want to split the merits between HP and MP, so the question is, as taru, do I make up for lackluster HP or boost awesome MP? I'm thinking that HP would be slightly more important for DRG.

4 Evasion/Parry - Not sure whether to up these or save them for Sword skill when I bother taking BLU to 75 (My next 75 goal, at the moment).

4 Spell Interruption Down - I don't want to touch Enmity, in case I level some tanking job in the future (BLU tanking was fun in the dunes, and I hear there's a market), and Interrupt down seems a little more useful that crit down.

So, any comments? Suggestions? Advice? I can take it, man.

Also; totally looking for some endgame shiz. Nyzul and whatnot. Anyone who can hook a brother up?
Fait > Woo, congrats on 75! (09/07/27 13:51)
Izzitda > I'd take Deep Breathing over Strafe. Incredibly useful in both solo and party. STR instead of DEX, too, you'll appreciate it when you get Drakesbane. 1 MP merit = 2 Foot Kicks = 500~600HP. An HP merit just lets you Healing Breath 5HP sooner. Also, you can't merit any magic on DRG, because DRG doesn't get magic! You're right not taking Enmity merits. Also, DRG allows you to merit Sword, which is awesome if you ever want to level PLD or BLU or even RDM or certain situations of BRD. (09/07/27 14:32)
Morlock > Keep in mind the order of usage defensive skills . . . it goes effects (Shadows / third eye) then Evasion and THEN Parry - so, if you intend to cap Parry, I would suggest maxing merits out there first. CONGRATS on the L75 . . . now, all you need to do is finish Divine Might :) (09/07/27 15:24)
Negata > Thanks, Izz. My reasoning for Strafe over DB is that double damage every X minutes isn't going to be nearly as good as breaths actually landing 100% in the first place. I thought Drakesbane's mod was DEX, not STR. I stand corrected! Good point about MP. Who needs magic, anyway! I might go full sword with the leftovers filling into evasion. (09/07/28 10:37)
Nimbex > Yeah, you can't merit Blue Magic except as a job which uses Blue Magic at 75. However, you can *use* those merits on any job. I've heard Spell Interruption Down is crappy, but I don't have any hard numbers. (09/08/05 11:21)

Back when Morlock was organising his DM run and telling us to invite anyone we could think of, I asked a friend who, it turned out, didn't even have sky access. He then talked to his friends and, as these things go, their LS decided that they finally needed to do a DM run themselves.

Short story: I said I could get the people who couldn't get to Morlock's run / those of us who had to drop out halfway together to help out. This is enough to make them seriously consider the idea. They're aiming for a run on the 24th.

So here's an invitation to those who, after Morlock's run, still need to complete DM. My list is currently myself, Tovari, Izzitda, Shadowneko, as well as Mychael and Returningedge (if someone can contact them for me), and Teresa who also expressed interest when I mentioned it the other day.
Tovari > Friday the 24th. Doable. (09/07/16 05:53)
Morlock > Negata, you could probably just send Mychael and Returningedge some nice tells and let them know. Telemaco and Tharpy were also on my list of interested (but unavailable) people. You may want to contact them as well. Good luck kicking ass!!! (09/07/16 08:25)
Tharpy > I'm interested! I'd say for this if its on the evening of the 24th i should be ok 7-?? central time (09/07/16 22:56)
Negata > Nice. Since Returningedge said he won't be able to make it, letting you come along won't interfere with the numbers I said I could round up for them. Still trying to get a time from them, though, so I'll let them know about your time window. (09/07/16 23:55)
Shadowneko > I'm in as long as I don't die 4 times in a row XD (09/07/20 08:13)
Sivara > If you're afraid of dying, then why sign up? :P (09/07/20 08:20)
Elizara > XD Well, I asked a nice boner kitty called Miyasha to make you a RR hairpin Neko, so that's out of the way. Let me know if you need anything foodish. (she signed it.) (09/07/20 13:22)
Shadowneko > Siv I'm joking about it but I need to go play in campain, Besiged and Fields of vallor as THF so I don't loose my nice fat XP pad. I ate 5K XP on the last run.... (09/07/21 11:06)

So, I'm currently on holiday!

I have several stacks of beastmen seals.

My BLM is 40 and has several hundred gils worth of high-INT gear put aside.

Anyone want to do some 3x BLM Under Observation runs? I'll give priority to Fait here, since we've been talking about it for a while, but that still leaves one space open, or two if he's unavailable. Spoils will be sold on the AH and split equally, unless you want to keep something that drops in which case we'll work something out.

If you're interested, please let me know how many seals you have and if you'll want something that drops.

I know a few of you are right into crafting, so I'd like to ask you something: How much skill would you need to have a high HQ rate for a level 45 recipe? And; does anyone have a smithing skill that high?

I have a couple of Centurion's Swords I redeemed from CP, and I'm looking for someone to help me get some Republic Sword action out of them (using them on my BLU as well as selling after I'm done with them). Obviously, I plan on paying for the materials myself and any sort of payment is negotiable!

Nimbex > HQ tiers are 0/11/31/51 over cap. Approximately 2%/10%/25%/50% rates, respectively. Ideally, therefore, you get someone at a total skill of 96 or higher. (09/06/10 17:38)

Of course, you stragglers have to volunteer, first.

WAR does more damage, and tanks well enough. If you just get past chapter 1, you're better off, so don't worry about a perfect build to get all the way yet. (09/05/18 08:59)

OK, so I really need to camp Ose at some point for my Assault Jerkin. What I'd like is a little help, since Ose is the sort of beast who can probably flatten me if I try to solo.

Anyone's welcome to assist, but Treasure Hunter is a big plus if you're able to manage it, and Wide Scan wouldn't be so bad, either.

The other option is to outright solo it! I am thinking this may be possible if I level my NPC a bit more, set it to Soothing Healer, full time a fresh tactics pearl when Ose pops and Super Jump whenever she runs out of MP ;9

Speaking of NPCs, Toramas around the area are high enough to level your NPC off pre-65ish, if you're game.
