Suliek, I'll just ask you for some advice since you actually do this shit.

What's the most efficient way of getting Glavoids and Itzpopalotls and such? As I mentioned when we talked last, I do most everything in a trio with two buds, but doing the last bit of the Emps seems like it will be a pita with the three of us :< I needs me sum Ukonvasara. About to start the VNM part after I've killed this bunny NM two more times D:

If you have someone doing glavoid and chloris path, I'd suggest having someone blue cleave. Me and Aemora farmed his twashtar and apileas's vereth that way, if not, I'd probably cap amber and kill shit while killing nms for KI (amber is easy to cap in tahrongi, the fafnir mobs give 16 a kill always). Glavoid is a pretty annoying fight, we did it with whm blm thf nin. Blm stunning gorge'disgorge makes it easy, a missed stun could wipe you though.

Same deal in attohwa, cleaving is the best way to go if you want ulhuadasi aswell, if not it might still be the best just for tunga kis, he can suck. Itza is a joke to kill, mnk or nin tank and a whm should be able to duo it quite easily, just don't enfeeb it.

Orthrus is also a joke for the 90. Mnk or nin and whm could duo easily, just keep barfire up.

o yeah, what do you guys do for azdaja's sucka?

One of the dudes in my trio is working on Vereth, so we'll be able to farm mobs without wasting KIs. Probably gonna cleave it with me on war and him on drk. My monk is getting to decent tanking level for this stuff, I think. 3-3.5kHP, and a 75% counterrate. Still need to get Ascetic's, but we started working on Nyzul on sunday. I'm not overly worried about killing the NMs themselves in terms of difficulty, but more that farming popping a couple hundred pops is going to suck. I guess this would be one of those times where a decent sized linkshell would be a good thing to have, but I just don't have the stable blocks of time available to dedicate myself to any serious shell D:


Funny story about Orthrus. I did some to get Atheling Mantle a while back, and the guy running the whole thing was gonna brew on BLM. So we pop 3, one of which were mine, and he starts -ga'ing them down and obviously kills them. He sticks himself in dialog to lock it, while waiting for the next 3 to get popped. They get popped, he starts nuking again.
They were at about 40% when I /tell'd my friend "Would be kinda lol if his brew wore off early". It wore at 25%, and he, and those that popped those 3, were raped. I lol'd and fondled my new mantle.


Edit: Also, I'm not entirely sure what 'Blue Cleave' is D: A blu spamming Charged Whisker? I dinged 95 on my first job maybe a month ago, lol. Still missing 2 zone bosses and most Caturae etc. This is all on a new account and such, so yeah.

i 2box'd those on my whm and mnk, was ez

Yes and no at blu cleaving. You don't spam it, you literally to 90-100 percent of a mobs life with the right setup with BA CW, plus you can do it solo. War cleaving isn't quite as effective, mostly due to ruby, mandies in tahrongi don't ruby, but they also don't aggro or link, so sucks to pull.

I'd strongly suggest RR/GH/Apoc for mnk tanking. I tanked rani without getting hit (it has full dispel on melee hits) for about 5 mins with only haste.

I'll use Apoc when I get it, but right now I'm using RR, SS and GH. I quite like it thusfar. Nice to see that blu is finally good at something, lol. I've actually been thinking about levelling it, but I'm gonna need to get some atmas for it since pretty much all the ones I have are melee DD oriented.

Melee blu generally uses RR/VV/Apoc or RR/VV/Minikin, or some variation of that.

Cleaving blu uses Lion/Blindinghorn/ultimate

Blu is actually quite insane now (really always was, just people who are good at it are very rare).

Thanks for the info ;o

wat are you two on about??????????

The Great Circle of... Stuff.

I feel like im going through ffxi withdrawal, any of this new shit cool? some of the pics/convos i've had with ppl say its pretty fun, but anyone here doin it?

by new shit you mean zilart/jeuno voidwatch? Haven't done that shit yet, I've done all the city voidwatch except for T4 bastok/sandy, and its pretty cool. Getting annoying with people who really suck though..

some of that new armor looks pimp, me wants

Most accounts I've heard say that voidwatch sucks dick. Not so much due to the fights, but the retarded loot mechanics. Since everyone has their own, non-sharable treasure, you can have a night like my friend did recently where 11 R/E 18% runspeed boots dropped.

To 3 people.

Leaving the other 8 to rot, lol.

that sounds more like the xi time sinks I remember

yessir

like how fert got 5 strendu rings and a body in 6 voidwraughts.

Screw FFXI

she hot?
