The definitive BCNM50 thread?

[Jonnyram]

All who want to participate, please let me know and I'll update this list accordingly. Let me know if you have the coins and want to use them, or just want to participate. When we've got all willing people rounded up, we'll try and sort out one or two events when we can do it together.

Addendum: please try to keep BCNM invitations, requests etc on this thread, or at least within your linkshell. Numerous people have been getting spurious tells from people they don't know - that's not a great idea for the BCNM fight as the fight only goes smoothly with people you know and trust.

Fight details:
Yughott - rabbits - Helltail Harry x1 / Cottontail x8
The boss has Haste-ga and Slow-ga.
All rabbits have "foot kick", a physical area attack.
Sleep wears off quickly, maybe two bards will help?

Giddeus - mandragora - Dvorovoi x1 / Domovoi x7
The boss is a black mage turnip with Flood and Paralyze-ga.
All have "scream" attack which does NOT wake up the others, apparently.

Palborough - worms - Fleyer Franz x1 / Flesh Eater x16
All worms seem to cast Stone-ga, Stone-ga II and Stone II.
Bard does not seem useful because worms are too far apart.
Boss worm has very high HP, monk's SP doesn't reduce to half even.


One success story... a party consisting of war,pld,rdm,blk,brd,brd had this experience in Giddeus.
Both bards sang lullaby to put mandos to sleep, paladin used invincible and pulled the black mando out. Black mage used definite silence on mando, but it ran out quickly, then mando cast flood and killed Paladin. Warrior used taunt and curega to become the target. Then red mage raised paladin, while bards continued to sing lullaby (to prevent rdm becoming target). While paladin was waiting for curse to lift, they worked hard, then paladin came back and it was easy to finish off. The moral of the story - target control is key (as a wise bard already said on these boards!)

[KamiMazi]

I'm 44PLD/22WAR. I'd like to go if possible. I got about 180 coins, so I don't mind using some. My in-game name is Mazi.

This would be my first BCNM, so I'll have a few questions. But as far as being a PLD goes, I got that down. ; )

[MogFFXIGamer]

Lemia SMN or DRK willing and wanting to participate. I've got waay too many coins and I need some mog space back.

contact me

[Soniti]

[Deli]

Will join if your plan need a BST. BST/RDM or WAR.
BTW, it is 7 cottontail. and 6 white mando

[Ayako]

I have the coins, as well. I'm leaning towards Thief support right now, to make up for the Dex rape that DRGs get hit with. I can do Warrior if I must though (both will be acclimated by the weekend)

EDIT: also, if by some chance it is needed, I can sub Bard for Lullaby...dun see why that would be needed though. Just throwing it out there.

[Tomoh]

I have coins and would like to go to try to get either Refresh or Phalanx.

I'd be RDM40/BLM20. All my magic and battle skills are maxed out at LV40. I have collected all RSE and good to go.

[Nadyxes]

nadyxes = 57whm/27 blm could join

i have 175 coins ><

[Yuna]

i can't be there until i get back... which should be in around 2 weeks :sweat: :sweat:

jonny just got hoo mjuu the torrent staff (well.. half of one) so he's on the way to refresh... congrats btw

[Cedric-Archaon]

i have whm soon to be 40, and mnk-without eq over 40. Id like to go after erase sometimes soon, but I don't know if you guys use WHMs that often in the BCNMs, i saw lots of rdms and blms instead. :sweat:

If it's possible for me to join up with my whm, id like to very much. I'd be willing to buy craploads of potions and drinks to make up for my elvaan-mage lower usefulness. I have like 80 some coins, also.

Take pity? :sweat:

[joey_pizz]

WAR40/THF20 but it already looks like u have a WAR. I have the coins so if u need a WAR or another WAR lemme know.

PS: This will be my first BCNM also. :sweat:

[orts]

PLD48/WAR24

I have about 170 coins and would be willing to use (is it bad i just want the spells for money?:sweat: )

[sephirothff7]

i would like to go but im short on coins
mumm: 49blm/22whm

[Maxim]

I almost have 200 coins plus one 50 coin orb as well (which I traded to do the Refresh BCNM but I haven't use it yet). I'm in no hurry to get it, and I'm slowly raising Bard and thinking of raising Monk as well so in a while I'll be ready to fill both BRD and MNK positions of the BCNM. Right now, all I have is:

RDM/WHM 47/22

[Jonnyram]

Cool, nice response. I updated the list in the first post. There are a lot of people with coins that they want to use, so we may end up having a few people entering more than one BCNM... it's good for experience and it should enable people to get more plunder

I think we've got a lot of people from different timezones signing up, so please say what times you can take part on weekends and if you're going away at all in the next few weeks. We'll try to accommodate everyone in due course.
