Promyvions...Let's Do These Thangs

[Valhallodin]

Ok guys, I think it's about high time that we get these Promyvions done. I am pretty sure there are still a lot of people on the LS who need to get these done, so we should be able to get enough people to go.

Also, if people who have them done would still be willing to help, that would be a huge help as well.

I'm not going to try to set a time and date for these yet, because I don't know who all would be interested, but if you'd like to join in, please send me a PM about it, and be sure to include any jobs that you would be able to participate as. The cap is 30, and I believe the most in demand jobs are WAR, WHM, RNG, and SMN. I am sure you can definitely get it done as other jobs too, of course, but those are generally the most wanted I think.

[Krimzon]

Sign me up bro, I can go as war rng mnk and sam (those are the jobs that i feel that can actually do something) Im available anytime on the weekdays and on weekends I just need the time in advance.

[Sicarius]

Same, let me kno of the time and date and ill try and make it. I can take drk, war, thf, and tryin to take sam to 37 now.
btw what needs to be done prior to do em?

[Leesc]

I'm more than happy to hear this idea. Most of our LS mates probably have Lv30+ job(s) and the most important is we can have fun altogether instead of joining the pickup party in Jeuno.


Edited:
Please count me in: whm/blm, war/nin
Because of different time zone, I could only join in the time frame from Friday night to Sunday morning (based on US Time Zone)
Would we need to farm some stuff for boss fight? What is it? Where can I farm it? I can go farming it during weekdays. (I've read the AK forum but I don't understand it. Any other recommended reference?)

By the way, Wiliam also has interest to go as RNG30. Now he only has the part of Holla left but he will help with others also.

[Stilgar]

I need to do these and the best job for me would be WAR.

[Nazty]

I'm down for them also... I need em all... I have WAR and MNK high enough for them... Just tell me when and I'm there

O yea thanks Ik for reminding me... NIN is lvl15 so I can sub it...

[Striveldt]

hellz yea, let's get a full HA alliance. I'm down for whenever, i'm more than happy to put off RL for the game ^^ Just set a time and place and i'll be there.

[Ikonic]

I can bring MNK, WAR, THF, WHM, or BRD for these. I'd have to get gear for all but MNK and I have some gear for THF, WHM, WAR, and BRD, but not a full set. I do not have NIN lvl'd enough to use as a SJ 'tho.

[lokcle]

I would like to join it but hard to fix the available time due to business and family stuff. But more chance I can join it would be Sat mid-night (HKT). In case I couldn't join it, still hope yr guys done it well. Cheer!

[JG!]

count me in just give date and time

[Striveldt]

Ok, let's start out with some info.

ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=10&mid=1096059496417947752&num=228

This is an amazing guide and everyone participating should read it.

I'm going to propose a date and time to go farm recollections in holla. I'd like to get enough that we can have easy cheesey boss fights.

July 6th from 6pm CST until we want to stop. This would require everyone to
A) have COP installed
B) have visited delkfutt's, upper jueno, and talked to the people necessary in ru' lude. (these steps are documented in the guide above.

Please try to make it to this event as i think it would be great as an LS to do these. We'll try and get as many people all three proms before we move on to later COP missions with the LS.

if you are interested, you can post here, or just be on at that time. an LS message will be created later today announcing this event.

[Stilgar]

I really want these but i am just getting home from work at this time. I will be on asap.

[Valhallodin]

Ok, so far I have 10 people who have said they are interested in doing this, which leaves us 2 people short of 2 full parties. Hopefully we can find a couple people who will help, even if they have them done already.

So far, and this is very far from set in stone, I have the following 2 parties forming in my noggin (based on what jobs people said they could do).

Party 1:
Valhallodin- RNG/NIN
Striveldt- DRK/WAR
Ikonic- WHM/BLM
Stilgar- WAR/
Sicarius- SAM/
no sixth member

Party 2:
Krimzon- RNG/
Leesc- WHM/
Wiliam- RNG/
Nazty- WAR/
Lok- BLM?/
no sixth member

Sorry if I didn't know subs, I tried not to make assumptions about them, but hopefully those who go as WAR and RNG can sub NIN.

Also, if you changed your mind about what job you would like to go as, please let me know and I will try to adjust accordingly.

As for equipment, I would like to see people bring some decent stuff. I would not, by any means, expect people to go drop a ton of money on all HQ stuff or anything like that. However, I think that there is some stuff around level 30 that is good for every job where the NQ version of it would be more than ample and should be quite affordable.

For the RNG, the Noct set is VERY good and VERY affordable in terms of the NQ versions. I think the complete set is 20-30k tops for the NQ.

For the WHMs and BLMs, I think the Seer's set is perfectly acceptable and I can't swear about the price, but I think the NQ is well within reason, hopefully.

For the WARs, I think the Eisen set is great and cheap, and there are some very nice Centurion's/Royal Squire's pieces as well. Again, no need to drop a ton of gil for HQs, the NQs are fine pieces, and much cheaper. I think the SAMs and DRKs can use the Centurion's/Royal Squire's as well, and maybe some Windurstian level 25 stuff.

Also, I have been trying to compile a mental list of things people would need to bring.

For the melees, I would like if they would make sure they bring the following...

Food of your choice (Jacks for tanks, sushi or attack food for DDs, maybe Flounder Meuniere for RNG, I have a bunch extra)
2 Au Lait per fight (Pear Au Lait would suffice, and is cheap, and I can make it if need be).
2 Poison Potions per fight (To prevent sleeping, and I can make them cheaper if need be)

For the mages, I would like if they would make sure they bring the following...

Food of your choice (I don't know what mages eat, maybe pies?)
2 Yagudo Drinks per fight (I can make these too)
2 Poison Potions per fight (To prevent sleeping, and I can make them cheaper if need be)

I think it would be immensely helpful to get some Animas. I think these fights are more than do-able without Anima (I managed to do Promyvion-Mea's boss w/ only 4 people, including a 29, and no animas, so they can't be THAT impossible), but I think the Animas will definitely help a lot.

As far as I can tell, the basic strategy is to handle it like a somewhat standard big fight (use food, tanks hold hate, DDs, well, deal damage, and mages keep people alive), and then when the boss has around 40-50% HP left, the DDs unload their 2-hours, and all hell breaks loose. Everyone MUST be ready to use their 2-hours, every fight, even if you don't think we will need it (with the exception of Benediction, which should only be used it absolutely necessary, as it will almost certainly result in death to the WHM).

Ok, that's all I have for now. If you have anything to add, please let me know and I'll toss it in there. Also, if you have questions or comments, feel free to ask or make them.

See you all for Recollection farming!

[Krimzon]
