Re: Abyssea Experiences

What's with all the THF not a good DD in abyssea talk? Seriously? We're TP machines that can put out decent weapon skills consistantly, what group wouldn't love Dancing Edge every minute? THF's and NIN's that don't gearswap give a lot of ppl bad names.

Can you add dnc in the formula, when i left ...everyone tell me "dnc" is not a DD.

I barely get anything on DNC even when i can hit like a ninja and does dancing edge 2-5 times a fight.

Probably because of all the Thfs my LS has seen missing DE completely. Nothing wrong with the job, it's the players.

People ...

It might not reflect reality. But the reality of not gear-swapping in FFxi is - you suk.

Re: Abyssea Experiences

I finally remembered my username, yay!

Anyways, I've been in 2 times so far. Well 3 if you include my first 30 min mini play.

First time we were doing ok, go 30 azure, but we had the worst luck for chest drops and pearl light, and we only got 4 extra time extensions so I ended up being kicked out unfortuneatly.

Second group i was in from the start, i was member #1. it was an odd setup, magis fight one, melee another. this time on cor not sam. But the blu wanted my regen, so insetad of coming over when i called, he decided to take the fight, ntop of the WHM. I complained. oh kick the cor, "he can;t do his job, can only buff one group", few more negative comments about me and yeah, you're going to kick me? watch this.

So I tele-holla'd all the melees...

I spent 3 days worth of doing nothing for a medicore group that want to kick me because of a retarded blu who can't do his job... yeah I was pissedddd

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Well, I just read thru this entire thread. X_X

So basically,

... Abyssea fkn rools for xp, end discussion.
... In order to get the uber xp, everyone needs to be doing their fkn job and not being lazy azz @@#$@ies relying on everyone else.
... You can get, for the most part, decent xp (which is still great because camps, from when I left at end of June, sucked ass to find) if people are fukkin up
... The NMs are uber and require the same tactics of team-play that you would in normal end-game events.

I haven't got to play ABCA yet since I actually enjoyed IRL this summer! Going to play it Saturday... crossing fingers for a uber run! (Even though FF14 is gonna be here in about a week and a half.) Apparently I can max out all my jobs and merits within that time if you find the good parties.

Also, I've noticed from this thread:

... booting ppl is mean
... asshatery is alive and well

Be kind. Rewind. ))))) and take a deep breath

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Mal, lvl 30 but they gimp exp production (unknown amount) if your under lvl 60

Aight quick bastion guide from what I learned last night:

- it does cut into your abyssea time, dunno if you can get time extensions from bastion, but you can get booted if you run out of time.
- there's a conflux 00 that's free to warp to from any conflux which put me out just north of the a tual battle grounds. There's npc (galka in miserux) that you get some base armor from.
>he also has an option to check battle status, martello status, and purchase some nice temp items (dusty potion III)
Battle status let's you check the three areas that the mobs can attack from. Its a percentage. Based message like" the mo s are 67% likely to attack from the east."
- the martello status has 7 different " warp martellos" numbered 1-7 (might not be called warp martellos, I forget it was late) they can go from 0-4 in levels and each of the 7 affects a certain aspect of battle (I.e. mob attack, exp per kill, and loot pool quality)
- the mobs attempt to steal these martello boosts when they attack. Npcs also apear to aid in battle.
- there will be a zone message informing everyone that a battle is starting about 2 mins after the likely hood of an attack reaches 100%
you can get the bastion status at this point, and a zone message will start to appear informing players that the mobs are specific ammount of yalms away.

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Seems an obvious question but does Bastion eat in to your Abyssea access time as well?

[Mhurron]

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Any idea on the minimum level required for Bastion? Also how do you know one is about to begin?

Actually, any information at all?

Re: Abyssea Experiences

WFF,
It really is worth the 20 bucks to get both..
example:
last night I went to abysses-miserux, and fought in a bastion assault ( like campaign but on crack and steroids).
battle lasted 1-2 minutes... MINUTES... and I got 1.8k exp...!
I engaged 2 mobs, landed two steps one with presto, (which is fucking awesome) and one evisceration.

You can actually tell before you head to a zone, what battles are going on, and there's direct warps from port jueno to all the abysses entrances... its just so win.

This does not compute for me. Doesn't even sound like you played FFxi...Pure win indeed.

Re: Abyssea Experiences

It's 10 bucks, not 20. Unless you haven't got the first one. But so far people are getting to at least 82 in the old zones, so you can get away without the second so far.

It's "easy" in that if you have a good leader and can follow instructions as to melee/magic/WS kill shot for each mob, your alliance will get the time extensions you need to eventually reach the 600xp/kill level in 4-6 hours. In 6-8 hours you will probably have capped your XP and merit points and have to leave.

I suspect that a properly balanced party could do almost as well, at least until people cap out early and need to be replaced. An alliance minimizes the effect of bringing in replacements who won't have lights built up already.

Re: Abyssea Experiences

Anyone still reading this?

anyway, i want to know if it is easy to get XP group off this? FFXIV about to come out i don't know if i should spend the 20 bucks on it, but i might give 3-5 days a month on FFXI just to finish up WOTG story line.
