Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

I'm glad to find from your testimony that I can most likely do it with a small group.
I'm getting more confident with my Ls and with abbyssea in general.
I made a couple of friends yesterday but I'll post about them in the accomplishment thread.

Any DD + Whm will work. Just make sure you have holy waters. Cursna (even with enhance gear) isn’t 100% reliable. Have whm stay as far back as possible. use different terrain levels if possible.

Fighting him as NIN is also not so bad. I'd take a NIN or MNK to tank him no matter what. NIN's response the to the Retaliation for MNK is just to pop Issikaigen and Yonin and watch parry do it's job. Capping parry is highly advisable to make this work... but thanks to the Yonin augment from the +2 pants, parry increases your TP each time it procs AND occasionally counters. Absolutely worth it.

Rooks a smither of some sort (regular or gold, I don’t remember). He made me 2 rings that enhance cursna that I try to wear for Chloris.
He made a HQ one too…but he kept it (selfish jerk!)

I just wonder if the Monster Jackcoat +1/+2 or the Beast Jackcoat +0/+1 would remove doom. Seems like testing on it was done long ago but not many mobs had doom counters back then right? Cept for Tauris thingys? Not worth testing on Chloris though, maybe on mob in Aby-Vunk.

Still need to farm Choris myself actually for the Augur's Gloves, though people tend to run for the hills when you say "Hey guys anyone want to help me farm Chloris?".

Farming all the NMs, maybe. But you can amber for them solo. But you know what…I always thought the same thing. People would avoid that guy like the plague…then in tried him and he’s easier than most abyssea NMs lol.

I’ve duo’d Whm & War and destroyed it before. Retaliation while it Hundred fists. Ukko certainly helps since furrys light chain but would be easy with any G.Axe.

I’m hoping I can get those mitts to while finishing up my last 25 ish buds. Last 2 times they dropped I give them to others for helping me.

There's some nice Cursna gear for WHMs actually but it's stupidly expensive on the AH.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

No. But there are a lot of new pieces that increase the effect of holy water. Thats something.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

yeah if it werent for fatal scream, it'd be easy solo :/

have any of the enhance:reward pieces been checked to remove doom?

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

It depends on how fast you kill it. When Rom and I duo (WHM & THF) it has used it three or four times. When Rom, Rook, and I trio (THF, WAR, WHM) it generally only uses once. There have been times when it doesn't use it at all. There have also been times when Cursna or Holy Water takes doom off the first or second time, but sometimes we die. You might be able to solo as a BST (because a BST can solo just about anything) but if you get caught, it might get stolen. This would waste a lot of KI farming time.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

does it spam it's doom move?
Or could my bst do it riding the call beast timer?
I have recently become more active in my linkshell just tagging along to absorb damage hold pop items and just see how things are. If I asked every now and then they more than likely would say yes,
You can probably imagine what I'm like in the Ls, I'm the person that chats alot, Mt's even more. I'm like the Ls welcoming committee when I'd like to be the quarterback, well maybe not the quarterback but at least the waterboy

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

The hardest part (or most tedious I guess I should say) about farming Chloris (and Glavoid) is getting the KIs.

[Squiggs]

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

The only threat that Chloris poses is Fatal Scream, which is AoE Doom. Holy waters and Cursna on a quick trigger are a must, but even then aren't 100%. It can be duoed by a competent healer and any melee (though having a THF for TH is always a good idea).

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Hi guys,
This isnt an accomplishment but rather a question regarding something on my to do list.
I started on the H2H Empy weapon via trial of the magians, My idea was if I ever get to get buds I can trade them as I go.
I've not read anything on chloris being solo'd other than the video of the Rdm doing it with an inventory full of temp items and medicines.
I'm 2 trials away from the bud stages but I'm unsure how I should approach chloris buds, From what I gather with pick up groups in shouts everybody pops one after the other until done, I don't have the time to play for 18 people to get it done that way and I'm always cautious of thieves in the game. I'd consider paying a merc to do it but again my server is notorious for shady people and linkshells full of shady people.

I'm just curious to how you guys approach building an empy like that or have friends with Vere and know how they did it.
I'm part of a small social linkshell and I imagine together we could all do it if we were all together.
My apologies for my question here but I didnt think it needed a thread to itself and couldnt see a thread that matched my question in the general ffxi discussion part.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

I know most of the Dynamis areas like the back of my hand. Maybe not Windy as much, but all other areas I know very well. I’ve done A LOT of dynamis….old and new.
Which is very helpful to say the least. It was a rough start but halfway though i got into a groove.

I think I posted this in the Accomplishment thread but I can throw some info up here.

Proc-ing wasn’t a whole lot different from Bst/Dnc. It’s just a matter of keeping Fire/light/Dark maneuvers up while spamming WS. I used Shoulder Tackle if not proc’d, stringing pummel if proc’d.

I picked up 120 ish coins but there was A LOT of room for improvement. No deaths…infact barely got into the red. Brought 24 oils too..but didn’t use any. Stuck to mobs that don’t AoE damage (Hippos/Manticore/Fly). Flys do AoE but sheep were too far and I wasn’t about to try Sabators. I fought on the edges. Didn’t worry about links (pup has nice evasion) unless I got 3 or more.

I don’t remember all attachments but I used…(don’t remember the names)
Optical Fiber
The Conserve MP
Economizer
Auto Repair I
Flashbulb
Damage Gauge
Provoke
Disruptor (it’s another proc BUT useless since mobs didnt buff themselves)
Turbo Charger
Armor I
The -Enmity one
**Other fillers**

Regen kept my Auto near 100% so I can recall it. Economizer is a nice attachment to have. If anyone wants more info on my run, lemme know. I’m interested in making this work as well as a Bst.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

I've solo'd dyna on Pup and Bst.
I'm not shockingly bad as either job but it's probably fair to say I'm not one of the elite. I do find solo in those areas tricky as before dyna was changed I had 0 experience with it. so it takes me a while to get settled and find my own rhythm. PUp solo for me was insane. Maybe I suck at puling but I found as a Pup solo I sacrificed myself and Lulu during pulls relying on rr. I prefer bst for dyna.

Don't get me wrong I love pup. it's my fave of the pet jobs I just prefer bst being more robust.
You may find this easier if your'e experienced at dyna solo. As I said before I'm not experienced as such so even on bst i find it tricky but doable.

My goals is to look at my lists and figure out where I am in my things to do now I have my pc back.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

My goal for tonight if I’m not too occupied.

Amber farm in La-Thiene for a Taru Sash with TH+1.

There’s been talk on BG the past few days about how PUPs can do quite well in dynamis. possibly comparable to Bsts. The game seems to consider things like flashbulb and provoke a WS. So basically a Pup/??? can go in and farming families during WS time for little or no competition.

If no sash, might have to go pup/thf. I think with the sash opens up other subs.
Plus it would be cool to have.
