Sandoria M16

[Russta]

I was wondering if anyone had a guide on Sandoria M16 as thats where this sites guides end Hell, even a Japanese site which I can run through Babelfish is a start. Thanks in advance.

here is one webpage with a very short guide (in japanese):

Altavista translation doesn't seem to help much unfortunately;

babelfish translation:
It goes to the BC of the ���O�z�g and if 3 oaks which are in (the knight, the hunter and the dragon horseman) with it pushes down tank 2, end. The tank 1 > tank 2 > knight > dragon (the dragon horseman calls the order which it pushes down) with per > dragon horseman > hunter. When the BF it is wide, because as many as 30 minutes there is a restriction time, the BF entering, without being flurried, in the enemy where in the enemy which foreward the BC first verifying the name of the enemy, verifying the order which it pushes down, then the �^�Q took with the knight thrust > �o�j�V���K and > in bottle > poet Seoul + lullaby > did not sleep sign rhinoceros less > avant-garde slept in sign pickpocket pulling and the knight provocation. And so on coping. Bus similar and helping failure of foreign country person. Only the person who receives the mission, or to report it has ended.

Well it hasnt helped on what I actually need to do for it but at least I know what it is now. BCNM with 30 minute time limit that needs a bard and the enemies killed in the right order to stand a chance of winning. Goodie.

*bump*

God I hate bumping topic's but, after seeing a shout, i'm getting desperate for the info. I know several people here know how to do it, just hoping they see it

[peacemaker]

I did it a while ago, can't remember too well, but we didn't even have a WHM, and it was pretty easy. Our pt was PLD/WAR/DRK/RDM/BRD/BLM, all around 65.

WarMachine1>WarMachine2>Knight>Dragoon>Ranger

Bard sleeps all, all other mages support silence(knight) and cure, that's it.

good luck.

[Russta]

Thanks a lot Peacemaker, that will help with the battle tactic. I found M13, 14 and 15 so easy thus far so it's funny to find this one is too.

Do you remember anything about the prep though? I was wondering if there was anything more than just talking to Endrachion, Halver and the King - I wouldn't like to get to the BC (where is it btw?) and not be able to enter.

[peacemaker]

Hey Russta. I think the only misson preps were talking to Endarcion, Halver and the King (please check mission log). The BC is in Yughott, the same entrance as the San M6 dragon place, opposite side of the hot springs. Battle prep, the usual, yag juice, potions, etc. Ether wasn't necessary but wouldn't hurt to bring 1 or 2 and sell back later if not used.

The party was really good, nobody made any mistakes, but I still had to use 1 or 2 yag drinks.

If the melee config is right, there should be no need for the mages to do anything other than heal and silence (and refresh, sing), I did use my 2hr to flood the last orc to kill it though - it was questionable if we would have been able to survive if either me or the someone else used their 2hr at that point cause we didn't have a whm, which luckily, is not a problem for you

[Russta]

Thanks a bunch Peace, i'll get the prep done then camp for shouts. Just hope it isnt a WHM shouting, unless of course he likes Taru melee :spin:

[peacemaker]

Might be able to get most members within TMV, if I'm on and not in PT, I can help, unless having accepted M18 prevents me from entering the BC.

My two cents, for what they're worth

Just did this mission last week. Our line up was pretty darned unconventional, but it worked.

Daihamlop - 70 MNK/WAR (ELV)
Daigoro - 70 PLD/WAR (ELV)
Metallic - 70 WHM/BLM (TAR)
Scissors - 61 WHM/BLM (HUM)
Ching - 60-61 BLM/WHM (MIT)
Sharmarali - 60 RDM/BLM (ELV)

You will notice the lack of a bard, and the fact that we had 4 mages and only 2 fighters. Basically, the strategy was this:

MNK and PLD both used SP, pounded the living tar out of the orcs one by one. I'm not really sure of the order, cause I was pretty busy. Did a bang-up job of keeping the orcs off the rest of us, except for one rogue incident where I got hit a few times, but I had phalanx on so it was all good. If a mage MUST get hit, I want it to be ME, 100% of the time. Meanwhile, BLM focused on keeping all the orcs that were not having the living tar pounded out of them at the moment sleeping. WHM x 2 did cure, cure, cure. As for me, dispel orc that was currently being fought, keep everyone but MNK refreshed, help out with sleeping, help out with curing, and keep the fighters hasted.

Woo~ Almost made it sound like I was doing all the work there, but I assure you I was not. In fact, that's a heck of a lot less than I usually do in a level up PT.

When we got to only one orc standing, mages rested for MP while the orc continued sleeping. All mages brought hi-ethers. I brought four. It was NOT enough. Well, I mean we made it through, but I was conserving MP a lot more than I would have liked. Bring at least 6-8. More if you don't have a RDM or BRD with you.

Oh yeah, and don't go in a configuration like this unless you have the utmost confidience in your two fighters. I wouldn't have, if I didn't. ^^

[Russta]

Heh, bumping an old topic but what the hell.

Well I finally got this done as the other day and it was a joke. I think the first War Machine died in 30 seconds and we broke the record at like 6 minutes or something. I took some pics if anyone feels like seeing them.
