Hi!
Me and my static would like to complete those 2 mission over the weekend (saturday 13th november) or the next one (if we don't get enough people this week). If anyone is interested to join the alliance, just post a reply here with your character name job and level

The first part of the mission requiert many Blm and Rdm since the ooze we are going to fight are immune to physical damage (Spirit Within probably work on them but I'm not sure how melee will get the TP with 0dmg hit).

When
11/9/2004 (saturday) at 7pm East (Time is still subject to change)

What do I need?
1- Cap your Rank point bar before the mission if you can. It will save everyone a lot of time and will also avoid an earth/water crystal shortage in Bastok
2- Activate the Mission, talk to Alois in the President office in Metal Work and talk to Dancing Wolf in Rabao.
3- Set your HP in bastok before the mission if possible. It will save us the trouble of waiting everyone between 9-1, 9-2
4- Sneak/invi potion to get to the ??? in Gustav Tunnel (if you cant cast them)
5- Some people say you need poison potion to avoid a sleep AoE in 9-2BC, however, I doubt it should be a real threat if mage stay away.

Here is the the detail concerning the first and 2nd mission (from Mysterytour), 2nd mission is suposed to be an "easy" BC in Zvalth

Mission 19 M9-1
The Salt of the Earth.

Walkthrough
1. Mission are received.
2. Alois (Metalworks)
3. DancingWolf (Rabao)

http://ffxi.killvoid.com/maps/images/gustav.png
5. ??? in Puddle -> Slime NM

*Mobs Information.

Gigaplasm*1 -> Macroplasm*2 -> Microplasm*2 -> Nanoplasm*2

*Cautions of a battle.

1. It will double, if it defeated.
2. A physical attack is useless.
3. Those who can use Elemental Magic(Black Mage , Red Mage) are required.
4. It defeated, after putting one animal to sleep at a time.
5. Full Alliance is required.
　



Mission 20 M9-2
Where Two Paths Converge.

Walkthrough
1. The first stage

* Freezebite/Shockwave is carried out.
* It is better to drink poison from the beginning.
* It is better to attack by magic, since it was hard.
* It is about 4/5 HP, and is to the 2nd phase.

2. The Second Stage

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Information from Aerawnt]

6 person BC fight against one boss, lvl70+ very easy (blm recommended)

- Accept the mission and go the president's office
- Head to the Throne Room in Zvahl and enter battlefield

Round 1:

- The boss uses AE WS that induces sleep, use poison potions, the battle pauses when the boss
reaches 80%.

Round 2:

- Volker will attack the boss and must be kept alive, if he is killed the battle will end in a loss.
- The boss can spawn 2 mobs at a time called "Shadow of Rage." They have strong attack but
very low hp, Level 3 elemental -ga magic is recommended to quickly defeat them while the
melee types focus on boss.
- Return to the president's office to complete the mission.




Our Strategy

"4. It defeated, after putting one animal to sleep at a time."
I'm not quite sure of the meaning of this, but it sound like we will be able to sleep them and fight them one by one. I will do a bit more research before the fight, but it would be nice if anyone could confirm that

In the case it doesnt work, we could have a thief or /thief (preferably one that doesn't need the mission) flee with a macroplasm to the nearest zone (Cape Terrigan, unless we want to murder lv 40 leveling there) and come back with sneak/invi potion. I'm still not sure if it will work or not but it would probably do one of the following
1) Ooze unspawn after some time and everybody get the item
2) Ooze come back because one of us had some hate, but by the time it come back
3) Unlike all other mission with multiple NM, Squaresoft's evil programmer decided that Bastokian had to kill all Ooze


Bah, I think that's all ><
Thank you

Yummy, lol, just grab 2-3 Bastokans, it doesn't even have to be a half-way decent set up, 4-5 Lv75s of any job would rip that BC apart, heh.

Anyway, I'd like to do this (9-1 and 9-2), the problem is every chance I've had of doing it the people hosting it decide its a good idea to do it at like 11PM, this is 4AM for me...

75 PLD, but not Yummy's 75 PLD. =x

Rein was blabbing on about how much he loves the 9-2 BC, force him to come. :P

That BC isn't really hard Yummy. 6x60 can handle it without too much problem with a normal BC party. At 74,75, it's probably a joke with any set up. I don't mind helping you for that BC if you need more Bastokian, but 8-1,8-2 arent too easy either


I don't know when we will do it, however, I was thinking of something closer to 7-8pm East than 11 pm.

I'd like to go to this (lvl 72 WHM) but I have work on Saturday afternoons. If you started at like 11pm EST i'll be there.

Starting the mission at 11pm mean we will not be done until really late, and I'm not sure if many people could stay up that late. I will try to see what I can do but it's hard to find a time for everyone.

Was it really necessary to post the entire quest in engrish? You got a lot of time on your hands :P

Seriously, I can help with 7-2 and further missions no problem. Just send me a /tell ingame, I'll come if i'm not doing anything important.

I would like to join for 9-1, 9-2. Not sure if can make it at that time because I have a funeral to go to, but it should be done before that.

Zakath, I will add your name for 9-2
Sorry to hear that Hyper ;_;. Considering mission rarely follow the planned schedule, you might have enough time to join us.



With our current setup, we might end up doing a 5pld/1Brd party for Banish nuking. . It's like a blm party but with more def and hp, and "almost" as efficient

I can help with the 7-2 bc, just send me a /tell a little ahead of time. (or post here). I wish I could help with 9-1 and 9-2 as well but I already have plans for this weekend. There are a lot of people I know that are still on rank 7 and 8 missions (Uzumaki? ^^) so maybe if we get them up to 9-1 in the next week, we could do it next weekend?

If you do end up doing it this weekend, good luck.

At the rate Blm are joining Mys, we will probably do it next week . I will probably have to postpone this tomorrow if we don't have more people

i've done this before and just wanna give some advice.
it's not that hard to do, but you have to come prepared. the most important thing is to have enough sleepers. we did this with 2 blms and 1 rdm, no bards..so pretty much, werent prepared for it at all. we wiped first go because of the fluid toss move that it did, wiped our mages. we reraised and managed to kill it fairly easily with a bit of rethinking and regrouping.

the jellies have very low hp, one thunder4 almost wipes out a jelly. the jelly's arent totally immune to physical as mysterytour suggests. normal ws's do hurt them, mostly because of their low hp. spirits within with 300tp is a good start.

one thing that mysterytour left out is that you need to pull the monster. the place where the ??? spawns has loads of pugils and bones around it. they are fairly high lvl, exp pts of around lvl 66-70 exp there just to give an indication of their lvl. being bones, they'll aggro low hp and thats the last thing you want. it's not really safe to fight the nm at the ???, so what's needed is a ranger to shadowbind pull the nm. the ranger has to sneak/inv to the ???, pop the nm, shadowbind, sneak/inv back to camp. camp probably being around bune area where there should be no aggro to anyone. after the battle, everyone has to go sneak/inv back there and examine the ??? of course.

if you dont have a ranger, you have no choice but to clear the area. by the time you clear it, everything will probably start popping again or during the nm fight.

last few tips, keep mages away from the nm...sleepers are important, turn off auto target, make sure you have a main assist so everyone is hitting the same thing (kinda like dynamis).

also i'll help out if im online, if its a friday or saturday then i can most likely attend, wouldnt be able to on a sunday because thats monday for me and i'd be at work. i can be brd or blm, your 2 best friends for this mission :D

as for 9-2, thats a joke..you can do it with 4 ppl

Wow, thanks a lot Spicorr O_O Do you know you should post that on allakazam? It's a lot better than their current quest info.

For the pull, I'm not really worried. A Smn or /smn could pull it, but if we dont have any, we could send Sygus for a sleep pull (much more risky if it get resisted but it would probably work).

I will add sneak+invi potion in the "what do you need list" too to save some time going back to the ???.

Thanks a lot for your help ^^ ,and if we don't get enough Blm, I might have to drag you along
