Assault how do I do?

Prons · 05-19-2008, 04:38 PM

Hey guys long time no post, but I'm about to crack level BRD 60 and I've become interested in doing assault.

I've completed the ToAU3 mission, but now I'm not sure how to get the ball rolling.

I'm the lowest rank, so does that mean I can only do the lowest rank missions? I assume it's a good idea to find an assault LS so more experienced people can show me the ropes and stuff, but how do I go about finding one? Is 60 too low to do assault, should I wait for a higher level?

i would recomend at least 65, for the higher rank assaults you will really wanna be 75, on Hades there really arent any Assault LSs that i know of, since it is a 3-6 man event, but to get you going, yes you can only do the PSC assaults when you first start, you will have to get points, these points are recieved for wining assaults, a win in one you never did is worth 5 points, a win in one you have won before is worth 1 point, you need 25 points for each rank. Some are pretty easy, some are kinda tough, check the wiki for really good walk throughs, heres a link

There are level capped ones, and BRD is a useful job, but you want to get to Lv.75 first, really. Heck, level another job to 75 after you hit 75 on BRD wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

Keep in mind some Assault groups exist solely for farming points: they tend to repeat a few relatively easy/fast ones with limited number of people. Other groups are aiming for the Captain rank, meaning they need to clear every single mission, so want a full group of six to maximize flexibility for different scenarios.

The "25 Point to Rank Up" counter is invisible too, although the NPC in Naja's place (her bitch) can tell you roughly when you can rank up, but keep a tally if I were you.

But how exactly do you guys go about finding assault groups? I assume msot of you guys just wait until it comes up, like you have an LS mate that wants to do assault and you say "cool I wanna join in too?"
