Seriously, on my server no one even brother to save chayaya, it been 3rd week in a row i didn't get the dice i need from him.

Is there even another way to pick up fighter roll and rogue's roll ?

[Murphie]

There is not (save the AH - which on your server is obviously not an option, since there aren't any for sale).

Is there a reason why you and a few friends can't go rescue Chayaya?

[Mhurron]

Obviously thats something someone else is supposed to do.

[Murphie]

Obviously.

[Mhurron]

Quite.

[wrongfeifong]

Umm how am i suppose to save chayaya when my highest level job is corsair which is 41 right now. I heard it is quite dangerous as it is. Not to mention, there is no information that direct where exactly chayaya is held.

I am fine leveling a corsair without the higher tier rolls until SE stop being stupid and move the dice over to another npc.

This is also a concern for all you corsairs, why? this is the reason why no one play corsair, not because it is expensive. It is because there are no dice available which make corsair quit during 20-30... making demand for iron bullets and item low. It mean crafter not willing to overcraft more items for the market which also mean price will increase because everyone competites to one item.

Its a chain reaction....support the community and let SE heard their stupid flaw.

So you don't have any friends higher in level than you who could rescue Chayaya?

* After a Besieged, captive Serpent Generals should be the top priority in being liberated as Beastmen forces are more likely to win the next besieged if they only have to defeat 2 or 3 Serpent Generals to break the seal.
* Many players are reluctant to risk EXP going into the strongholds to rescue the NPCs.

After you liberate an NPC, speak to them when you arrive back in town. He will reward you with 100 Imperial Standing points (500 if the NPC is a Serpent General) and a ??? Item. NPCs seem to give ??? Boxes more often than other ??? Items.

You "heard" it's dangerous meaning you haven't even tried for yourself. You've spent three weeks waiting around for someone else to do the work for you and complaining about how bad it is on corsairs and you don't even know what it is you have to do to get the NPC back.

I'll be honest with you, it is hard. But if all you've done is sit on your hands and haven't even taken the first step towards trying to help yourself, I have no pity on you.

/runs and hides
OMG! Taskmage is on a rampage!

He's right though

Only die I ever had a problem getting were the Black Mage Die. All the others I bought in advance at the first opportunity.

You act like you speak for all CORs, yet even non-CORs told you this is a job you prepare heavily for, but you bumrushed it anyway and now here you are at a stopgap.

Should we be surprised? I worked out NIN and RNG before I really moved COR up and it afforded me the extra time to take care of such things. Take your time.

In all fairness, there really isn't anything you can do as a LV41 (unless you're a LV41 THF) other than shouting, "hey, can you guys go get the dice NPC?" in Whitegate.

Which might be what the OP needs to do.

[Feba]

correct: shout "Hey, can you guys go get the dice NPC? 100k."

[Taskmage]

To get the key requires at least one level 75. The lower level keydroppers are DC at 75. A decent soloing job (rdm, nin, drg, pup, bst, maybe pld or blm) could take out the keydroppers. Once you have the key, saving the NPC is just a matter of MGSing the stronghold, which is no more dangerous for a level 41 character than it is for a level 75 because the mobs are so tough and abundant. Basically if you get aggro, warp the fluff out.

If it helps any, the NPCs always seem to get thrown in the same cell every time. I've rescued Chayaya twice in Mamook and she was always at the line between F-7 and G-7, on the south edge of the water. This is one of the most heavily guarded rooms, since there are Mamool who detect sight, Sahagin who detect sound, and Poroggos at each corner of the room that detect by true sight and are T to 75. The one blessing is that there is a lot of space between mobs so it's easy to get away and recast your stealth spells.

I hear you, Spider-Dan, it's a hard situation that they couldn't get out of without help. But they haven't even tried to fix it for themselves. The OP didn't even know what was involved in saving an NPC, didn't ask for the missing information or make a thread in the server forums looking for help. They just "heard" it was dangerous and when nobody did the work for them completely unprompted, they just gave up and started complaining to SE.

i looked around for information already, asked few people. No one would even come help me pick up the npc, i shouted on the server for 4 straight hour. All i got are response "Get it yourself".

Do i even have to offer 100k to do it? when the dice already cost me an arm and a leg? This is something SE really take a look at, corsair wasn't design as a super advance job require having 3 level 75 chr before even play this.

If this job is as expensive as ranger then no one should even play ranger when the game release and yet people did play it so corsair is possible for 1st main job.

I restarted on a new server, i don't have any high level friends that willing to waste hours to search for NPC through many stronghold for rescue a NPC that give no returns.

Just FYI, i tried walk around the stronghold to see if i could even find the npc before i ask for help, guess what...i delevel my whm @ 32 to almost back to 30 already trying. I know where the gates are but they all need keys or some even have sight sight monster blocking.

I even tried to bond many Corsair that leveling to help, guess what? they just told me "Just wait until someone decide to do it or just level without it"

Don't just assume i didn't even do anything, its 3 week and i tried many ways before i am my limit of my patient. (and for BBQ, i leveled all my sub to 37 already to even prepare corsair, i even leveled brd to 30 brought every possible +1 items until AF... if they you tell that isn't well prepared, i don't know what is)
