... it finally feels like we're going somewhere in the game ^^ it's about time, and I'm so excited about all (well, most.. windy fame and lvling whm are things I could do w/out lol) of them. <5k to 67 is so frustrating lol.
YOu guys are getting somewhere in the game! Im living off handouts and what gil i scrape from selling old EQ and random rares!! ;_;!!
But yus, congrats on all teh missions and stuff. Im thinking im just going to stick to THF and try and max that before i get into advanced classes now!
lol To get where we are now, we had to have help until 60, and I'm not kidding. We did a lot on our own, sure, but missions and AF we *had* to have help. Once you get to a point where you're doing stuff on your own or with other people your level, you suddenly find yourself helping out people lower than you and 'giving back to the community', so to speak. We felt sucky always asking for help, but to be honest, we wouldn't have advanced in the game if we didn't.
If you want to go THF/NIN then it will be a good thing for you to get NIN at 30, when you can unlock advanced classes. And you know we'll help you get it :P
Grats on the missions! If you ever need tips for future missions, let me know. Be glad to answer any questions or offer advice. Next zilart mission, the headstones, is pretty easy. Only hard part is getting through Ifrit's Cauldron. Take west entrance, head across the first open area to a cave, then stick to the left wall all the way. Ash dragon aggros sound, I believe, but never quite sure. Just try to run behind him with sneak and invis on, and you should be fine. And bring at least 3 ice clusters for spouts, if you don't want to wait

I asked a friend today about ZM5 but haven't been able to see his reply as POL's been down all day ;_; How tough is the flesh NM in Zi'Tah? I've read that it's *hard* but the rest can be done by a competant single party. The only other NM I have any reservations about is the shadow in Terrigan, since I have a lot of very personal experience of dimensional death >_<
Think the plan is to get a high level tank to help us do those two one night and do the other two (double NM, sneak pull) the next or something. I might be able to tank those two, although weapons do tend to hit pretty hard.
How does the ice cluster thing work? They're pretty cheap so it's worth shelling out imo. Do just sit in your inv until you walk thru? Or do you have to use/trade them or something?
I don't have /nin available, although it's becoming more n more pressing that I start it (lvl 7 atm lol). >_< I think Eld's gonna hafta go with friends or something ^^; but there are things of fenrir's that I would like..
The flesh NM hits hard, but is pretty slow attacking. NIN tank would have no problems. If you have a 60-65 PLD, be ready with plenty of cures. The shadow NM is not quite as tough, but there are a couple of goblins that roam that tunnel, and could repop on ya if you take too long. Also, take a snow lily to the cape terrigan headstone, and trade it after you kill the shadow NM for an item. Take a garnet to the ifrit's headstone, and trade it after you kill the 2 NM monkeys, for an opo necklace.
For the ones that pop 2 NMs, you only need to kill one. If the other despawns, you're okay.
You have to trade the ice cluster to the flame spout, and it goes down for 30 seconds, I believe. Everyone needs to move quickly.
Well, you don't need nin, but if you pull hate, well, you're dead. :P
I think I want it so badly now because I know how close we are to getting it. Sure, a lot of them don't have it until 75 but it's not because I've got lucky. We've *worked* for it, and damn hard too, just like all the other equipment we're both wearing. Lel camped Mee Deggi for ages at lvl 41 until he got his Kote, with everyone telling him he was too low and yada yada. But on his 8th kill (solo) he got the drop :D
We used every seal we had to be able to afford his Cross-counters, and my staves, etc. That was like, 10 BCNM40's lol.
This isn't a rant at you, it's a rant at certain people who go onto HNMls and get handed what they need to do the job. (I have a specific person in mind, lots of hate here lol) I don't want to get handed my Noble's Tunic at lvl 75, I want to work damn hard for it and buy it myself at 68. And the best thing is, I will ^_^
I have a lvl 74 NIN friend, I hope he'll tank Fenrir for us ^^;; Also a 72 RDM friend, and I'm sure I could find others to help. 6 person only still I assume?
