Unsure if anyone else finds this, but recently I've been getting asked to go EXP on my BLM in ToAU. Now, I don't mind going out to the new area and all, but I refuse to keep my HP out there, as I prefer to be somewhere I feel is a little more suited to what I wish to do.

Anyway, the invite comes in, I keep Home Point = Jeuno in my search comment. Teleport myself out and go to catch the boat.

3 times lately I've arrived in Whitegate, send a tell to the party leader to invite me, only to be greeted with a reply of "Oh we got someone else now".

Just wondering, but why don't people have the patience to wait for a few mins? I'll be keeping my HP in Jeuno, tempted to refuse all ToAU parties from now on. Either that, or start taking names and do some MPK's when they're elsewhere.

lol... well i heard that they got rid of MPKs... thats a shame... so ToAU is accessible from the get go? u dun have to do anything special to complete any missions to get there? srry i nver really got into CoP and i stopped playing shortly after the release of that expansion... but im coming back! and hopefully someone can get me a wp...

Yeah, I have everything accessable, but I choose to keep my home point at Jeuno.

You can still MPK. Only way to do it is an NM that aggro's. I pulled it off the other night in Yhoator Jungle. Was testing something, turned out I could keep casting Stun on Woodland Sage, and run with it right to the EXP area. Dropped it onto our RMT's, and killed off about 25 people total.

awesome! i was worried that some newb could accidently attack a nm zone it and it would disapear... then u would have to wait for the nm to spawn again... im glad they made it so an nm wouldnt disapear...

It was fun taking a Lv60 Treant NM into a place where Lv27 were trying to level. Add that is uses Benediction too...

Get yourself an Olduum Ring or stop accepting invites to ToAU areas. It's not practical to ask people to wait for you to finish a 20 minute ferry ride to get to town, much less to camp.

It hasn't just happened to ToAU come to think of it. I've gone to join parties at Sky, only to get there and told I was no longer needed. It's more a manners thing, something you wouldn't know about unless you were on Hades.

Jekk · 05-22-2006, 06:56 AM

I only get party invites when I'm in dunes o_o I wouldn't accept an invite if I was like in Windurst and someone asks me to get to Dunes to train (unless it was a friend).

Balfree · 05-22-2006, 07:25 AM

O.O

I set my HP in alzabi. The free teleport to jeuno is quite handy. I cant see why people wouldnt want to be there... very little tax with AH, every guild shop, alot of vendors for materials usually required to many crafts, best exp-spots ever...

Why not just set your HP there and go to jeuno through the free tele?

AngryUndead · 05-22-2006, 07:43 AM

good point Balfree.... I never thought of it that way.

Taiko · 05-22-2006, 04:37 PM

I'm reasonably sure the warp costs, I also prefer Jeuno due to me usually going to solo on the top-tier Quadav in Beadeaux while I'm LFP. Add the fact I'm usually going on LS events spur of the moment in sky and HNM camps, that cost would soon add up. Much more logical to stay in Jeuno.

No, you can do the free porter (random) to Jeuno.

You can land in 5 places:

Qufim
Sauromugue
Rolanberry
Batallia
Ru'Lude Gardens

Now, for the first 4, you will always land within a minute walk to the zone. Actually, Qufim is a bit further out than the others, with Sauromugue being 2nd farthest and then Rolanberry and finallly Batallia spot is the closest to zone.

It's free. And I bet I'm still faster than you getting to Jeuno.

Super easy transport back to Jeuno.

Ellamir · 05-25-2006, 07:54 AM

home point in jeuno is slow now, i have my HP in the (nonexistant) al zhabi hp crystal, and im not moving from there

the free warp taru to jeuno is just right hand from alz's MH, and if i need to go elsewhere, i just tele to Mea, choco to Bubu and get an OP warp to wherever i need.

Those rings (olduum etc) are useful too, but once a day >.<

I wonder if the increasing nomadic nature of the society in Vana'diel will nessecitate faster and faster means of travel.

Once upon a time, Airships were "good enough". I just find it odd that 24 hour cooldowns on things that were once "awesome" are now an inconvienience.

When will we have concord jets? Or at least a speed booster on the airships... afterburner FTW!
