Promathia BC missions a guide sorta
Could answer two questions and a maybe write a 'brief' guide on basic tactics/what to do? :X Thanks a million if you do :D.

Question 1: How hard are the basic mobs in Emptiness?

Question 2: I heard you do a BCNM inside the Emptiness... how hard is it and what do you fight?


#1 Emptiness monsters range from easy to IT.
Thinkers and gorgers are two of th ehighest HP /toughness mons there.

#2 yes there are 3 BCs at the crags. by going thru the shattered telecrystals.

each BC has a MOnster in it.

Spire of mea monster is Delver not overly powerful but has a sweeping AOE that does knockback damage.
The damage from that is pretty high 100-300 a swing. he does it alot when he gets down from 50% hp to 25%


This BC we used summoner(me) 1 BLM 1 whm 2 war 1 rng.
actually all BC's used same PT set up . PLD not needed. You need mighty strikes more than anything.

Spire of Dem is the Progenerator..

This one is easy until you get to 50% HP then it starts spitting out kids.
1 at a time.

The way we did this BC was send in leviathan first, I performed astralflow. to save MP . Did a tail whip for the gravity effect. waited one min drunk a yagudo drink.

let wars and rng get its HP to 50% while leviathan builds tp.
BLM and whm use water attacks on it.
they are weak to water.
Then let leviathan do his SP. leviathan will get hate from Progenerator and the offspring.
Wars do mighty strikes and the BLM does water MB.

Spire of Hora is the Wrecker.
This one is harder since it likes to spam AOE sleep.

Keep ranger and mages well away from it. Use same tactics as the spire of dem and its easy.


GEAR.
Bring normal juices for traveling thru emptiness.
Bring 1 or two yag drinks for the BC's themselves.
have blm use MP and or INT up foods.
SMN should bring 1 or 2 ethers or a high ether and yag drinks.
have wars and rng bring selbina milk and high potions to help whm with curing.
so he can save your butts if things go bad.
Have all mages bring a reraise scroll incase things go bad.

DOnt D/C out the BC or reraise will drop.

for the normal mons just go all out.
When you get to the Memory orbs. you have to KO them befor emoving onto the next area.


Hope this helps some.


Also its good to travel in a group of 12+ for adds and extra healing. but each group should kinda resemble each other in tactics and jobs.

Emptiness also gives Coins, memory drops, exp and exp chains. Your job that yu go in as will actually get exp. so it also is good for leveling to.

just adding some more info for the bc fights...

Hora -
attackers/tanks do not use buffs (food, pro, etc)..all buffs are absorbed by boss to make him stronger. Melee/Tanks - Take poisen to keep yourself from sleeping, holy water for uncurse, and hi-potions.



Mea -
boss has hate reset move that leaves your HP at around 10 points, can be evaded by running away. It will also put a strong poisen on you, that combined with the low hp attack can be deadly. Start attackers SP and high damage spells when his HP reaches 50%. Melee/Tanks - take antidote, hi-potion, Persikos au lait (hp regen drink).



Dem -
seems like easy at first, but when the boss is near death it will pop 6 small NM one at a time. Don't try to KO the 6 pops as they will just repop. Take the boss out ASAP, he has HP regen so have some big damage ready when you start to see his regen outpace your damage (i.e. mightystrikes > fastblade> use tp wing > fastblade), you do not have to fight the 6 pops..they are gone when the boss is gone. Melee/Tanks - take hi-potion.

wait, so the XP you earn in the emptiness goes to your current job?

so, say a lvl 67 rdm goes in, does the missions, gets 5k of xp or so..... does that 5k go to his lvl 67? or is it just eaten (since its capped)?

goes to whatever job you take into the BC
so if 67 red. that red gets the 5k
