The monster is pretty easy. Killed it very easily in a 3 person party when I was a 41 rdm with a 55 pld and drk.

Getting there is the harder part. I had to sneak and invis the whole party. There is a camp of orcs before the river and some orcs across the river.

Also good luck on finding the storage hole, it will either be pretty easy to find or pretty hard to find. There is a map of the spots in a rdm af1 thread. I recomend going to Search and finding that.

edit: Here, I did the work of finding it for you. :biggrin: http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28541&highlight=rdm%2A+af1%2A

Your 60 DRK can solo purpleflash Brukduk. Good luck on finding your storage hole, mine was near the entrance to monastic cavern but.. kind of in an obscure area, so I missed like for 2-3 days, along with the other RDMs searching (not related to me really, but I met them and they searched for it too lol).. I went into monastic cavern 2 times, searching for teh stupid hole >.<... anyway, Good luck.

A level 72 whm basically solo'ed mine. It was a 45 RDM, 41 BRD, and her against him, so damage output was crappy since Hexastrike was nurfed by the time we did it, but it basically just chipping down his life while he casted sissy-boy magic on us. Plus, the manafont 2 hour was pretty worthless, as he was still casting by the time he died. Stay away from the fence though, if you catch the eye of one of the orcs over there you're wanged in a big way.

With that party set up you will own Purpleflash. I killed him with a 50 mnk, 49 rng, 60 theif, 45 rdm (me). Just keep him silenced and and hes a joke.

Good luck with your storage hole.

Ya, my level 60 DRG friend soloed him, with me curing him a bit... not too hard at all.

Finding the storage hole was a pain though... it really sucks having to search for stuff in the middle of orcs that would murder you in seconds if they catch a glimpse of you.

The first time I searched, I found the hole, but it was on the island in the middle that could only be accessed through Monastic Cavern. I went back the next day and finally found it amongst a group of level 50 orcs... luckily it was off to the side where i could safely remove invis and grab item and warp out.

In comparison, AF2 quest is pretty easy. Get they key from regular experience mobs like Exoray, Blazer beetle, etc. Find the crawlers nest chest and open it (about as painful as storage hole to find, but easier to navigate area) find ??? and bury key items and dig up AF boots next day. Luckily ??? is always in the same spot, unlike the storage hole.

I had a 50 Dragoon and a 68 theif at the time kill him for me lol, they accidently aggroed him when I was running there. Made it to them just as it died ><. I was level 50 at the time of getting AF1 so it was crap.

can I do this quest on my blm if its open for rdm? or do I have to be present as a rdm?

[Humehero]

I think you can get the key with your BLM, the ranger that was with me is also a rdm and he got a key. Later got the quest, I dont know if he has opened the storage hole yet, but I dont see why he would not get the Orcish Dry Food and complete the quest. I will follow up with him tonight and let you know.

nope, you can pop him as blm, i did that for my mnk af1 and whm af1

Owned him with 43 RDM/WHM (me), 55RDM/THF(because she was farming), and 70RDM/BLM. Killed him in 2-3 min and found my storage hole on the way out. Got lucky as hell.

The only potential problem with the original poster's party is that the DRK will probably be tanking whether anyone wants him to or not. But with 2 and a half healers (pld is half a healer) you shouldn't have any trouble keeping him alive.

I'd recomment that one of the rdm sub whm though, he does use some ga nukes and you may want curaga and shellra.

He's pretty tough to silence - resisted my seal/silence when I was 51. So you just have to count on healing faster than he can damage. Fortunately he doesn't use ancient magic or anything crazy like that.

Getting to him is fairly annoying - I'd recommend taking the river (sneak/invis past the high level orcs on the central island) to the farthest west point and then walking from there. He can usually be found in the east passage from the first room south of the westernmost point in the river (don't remember the coordinates, but it is just NE of the well for PLD quest).

I just got my AF1 thanks to a 73 WHM Friend, it was pretty easy :p

I even got the Crawlers Nest Chest Key when I was partying today, thats pretty nice to help AF2 go bye faster.
