Two updates? IN TWO WEEKS? Holy shit I’m bored. Not sure what I covered in my last update… let me check..JOL.. Cuelebre… WHM AF3…Yilbegan… OK here we go.
I’ve dragged Carste with me to Abyssea – Tahrongi at least 4 times to kill Lachrymater with me, so I can try to get a Witchstone. We killed him ¾ times, the one wipe being a unlucky pull by Carste. Our setup was RDM/WHM and SAM/NIN. I had some decent Gekko’s with the stat bonuses from Abyssea. We dragged Dragonsbane out on our 4th pop to try and get some TH on it, but still no drop. Bastard.
Look ma! No sword!
One other NM Carste and I have been trying to kill, is Bakka. SAM/NIN RDM/WHM, although alternately we could probably do it just as easily WHM / RDM(or /sch) and SAM/NIN, but we’re usually already geared the other way. We haven’t wiped to this NM yet, because we haven’t been able to claim it… The fucker is never up, and the moment it is up, It gets claimed before we can get there. Someday we’ll get our Goetia Chains…
I’ve spent a couple more hours trying to do quests to get more seals for different gear from Abyssea, but sadly I haven’t been able to get anything. The quests for Abyssea – Vunkerl seem to take forever to do, so I’ll probably just wait until AP does that zone so I can just lot them from NM’s. It seems to be a waste of time doing the quests. Or maybe I’m just doing them wrong. I’ve been doing the 2 quests where they ask you to go to different points on the map and check spots and report back for a reward. I’m about 0/15 on those quests. Maybe my time would be better spend in Abyssea – Misareaux getting all my items from there. I still need my seals for BLM and SAM from there anyway, so I might as well do that. Also, I’m most familiar with that zone and it’s NM’s, so I should be able to team up with some people and get some seals that way.
I was finally able to finish my Shellra 5, and I put another merit into my Burst II. I’ve had WHM75 for 3 years, and it’s been my least merited job for a long time. Total Noob.
Still doing Limbus runs with Dragonsbane, He’s almost got enough to buy his Boxer’s mantle, and I think once he does that, we’ll do another run and I’ll get one also, and toss it in my PDT set for SAM. We average 22-27 coins a run.
Last night was abyssea with AP, Misareaux. Carste got a few RDM seals, and it almost done with his legs. I’ve been bugging Cloudxz (ls leader) to take the ls to kill Ironclad Serverer so that I could get by Goetia Mantle… Well, sadly the LS didn’t, but I did. As we were zoning in as a linkshell, I went to check if it was up, and it was.. but it was being killed, so I got the TOD, and cured one of the people killing it, and left. A minute later I got a /tell from the group leader asking if I wanted to get in on the next kill in a hour, BLM mantle being freelot… YES! A hour and 15minutes later, I got a /tell, and I disbanded AP, and ran to Ironclad. We took it down in 5 minutes, and I lotted a 400~ for the mantle. Ugh, but the other BLM lotted a 46!! WINNRAR. Extremely excited about that. Took 5minutes and changed all my nuking macros on the spot, and then left to finish off the night with AP.
How does your LS do Abyssea? Depending on how long you have, if you are doing simple farming runs, something I've seen some groups do successfully is have a pt of RDM/NIN x4 + BLM + WHM go and do lesser NMs while everyone else exps/gets time extensions. It works well if your RDMs don't suck (like Carste), plus you can generally invite random people to exp as well to fill up exp ally. Have RDMs cap azure on random mobs (preferably triggers for NMs) and main ally get pearl kills. You can pretty much endlessly get seals in new zones and also kill basically every NM in the ealier zones except maybe the behemoth.
ReplyDeleteAlso should have had duoed the giant, would have been funnier =(
That NM was tough shit. Melees at a 14-15yalm range, with En stun.
ReplyDeleteOur LS will do exp style and cap azure and pearl very quickly, and every time we move to another NM, we pull 15~ mobs, and -ga burn them down with the BLM pt, and get 8-10 chests every time.
