Uh what would you suggest for someone who has NIN and BRD leveled? I can't very well cure at all as BRD50 and sure as hell can't cure as NIN and I read you take like 500 dmg from that ability >.>

[Not Kuno]

Sept! You got stalwart shield? I thought you would let me borrow that when you got it. ;-;

[Indiana]

I did the 50 cap as a ninja. After getting hit by blighted doom, I found it best to just let my NPC keep hate. If I got hate, I simply turned away from the mob until my NPC got hate back. I also never voked. My NPC was on fierce attacker.

[Septimus]

Probably go on NIN/WAR and blink tank it. Your debuffs should utterly demolish the enemy (Paralyze easily took 1/3rd to 1/4th of its attacks and spells), and you can blink away most of the hits. (I don't know if Blighted Gloom will go through shadows or not, take some Au Lait and Potions just to be safe.)

Kuno, I borrows the scroll from Sephirothid. I will ask him if you can borrow it next time I talk to him.

[Thranduil]

I did it as rdm/blm with fierce attacker and didn't even rest up mp after protecting myself and my npc. I ate two Blighted Glooms by pulling agro at bad moments.
I had to convert to keep my npc healed, but if I hadn't eaten those Blighted Glooms convert wouldn't have been required.

The npc gets hit really hard, so if you can't cure your npc you'll have to kill it much faster than I did.

[BRP]

How much % damage would Freeze do?

I finished the Mirror quest too, did the BC with my NPC set as healer and went in as mnk/nin. I died the first time though lol, basically the move it does, blightened gloom, is a pain, does about 500-600 hp dmg. I didn't know npc could counter it, i never let my npc tank normally. it did it 3 times to me, the 3rd time it killed me, since i am only monk50 inside there (so i don't have the 2200 hp i can have as 75 mnk), i had no equip the first time either basically lol. It ignores shadows and goes right through you.
The second time i still had no armor, npc as healer, the only thing i did different was running away when he did that move, and it works well.
I kept hate, and utsusemi1 is plenty enough especially with dodge and with him using spells and slow scythe attacks. doing it that way was pretty easy.
And yeah cure5 is awesome, can't wait until my NPC is 63-64 and she can cast protect4 too.

Heh, only reason I say that is cause NPC lvling fags already ruined a good exp zone (kuftal) and now with the lvl caps they move onto bigger things.

NPCs suck, if I ever see a PT of 3 people trying to lvl their npcs in the future in KRT I WILL kill your little bitches.

You will die on the party, then the monsters will depop.

You don't exactly have to die to MPK people with skeletons... They may have done a lot to remove MPK from aggro monsters but they hardly removed all forms of MPK from the game.

You're referring to AoE WS from mobs or is there something else I'm missing?

Yes... one of my BST partners has inadvertantly killed more people with bombs since the update than I ever even thought of killing in my entire time as BST before it.

Who said anything about dying?

[Lordwafik]

How will you MPK people in KRT ? If you're doing it solo I dont see it, maybe duo or trio. Getting Spartoi Sorcerors to do AOE drain or Black cloud hurts you too, and unless you're getting cure bombed by a rdm or whm, dunno how you're gonna pull it off too well, feeding something enough TP to massacre everyone around you including yourself.

Unless there are bombs in KRT I dont know about

Or unless you sub BST, but then again lvl 60 mob vs lvl80 mob = lol

[Nagamaki]

It'd be easy enough to MPK a group xping NPCs on bones, just bring a regular roaming PT and have the BRD pull to the NPCs. AoE spam happens naturally in the process, the NPCs just happen to be there getting raped by it.

But seriously, KRT is overcrowded already, if I actually see people exping NPCs there they can go to hell.

They just need to allow NPC in Al'taieu (basic exterior Al'taieu) and that'll solve a lot of problems. If they're scared NPCs will tip the balance when fighting Jailers... yeah, good one.

I think people determined that was an issue, not being able to level off XP from Promies. The prevailing thought about the food is that it is a bonding thing, Zoldof gave me Homemade Bread and it didn't give me any visible stat changes.

The Spiders in the first part of Boyahada Tree are levels 60-63, so she will be getting 75-160 XP per kill. Depending on luck, you may get mostly level 60 spiders, which would cause slow leveling. I did Velociraptros (66-69) and Perytons (69-72) in Valley of Sorrows yesterday, Zoldof should have got 280-300 a kill (mostly 300, since the mobs are mostly 6 or more levels above him), but the fights were very hard and I almost did not make the quota for the day. (Too many Perytons, but it is hard to avoid those bastards.)

I was planning on Velociraptors in Valley of Sorrows to 63, Sand Cockatrices in Cape Terrigan or Korrigans/Processionaires/Steelshells in Boyahda Tree to 66, Pucks/Tormentors in Den of Rancor to 70, and Ovinnik/Greater Cockatrices to 75. NPC XP groups are pretty much necessary, I could probably manage to solo Zoldof to 63, but I cannot see myself being able to solo anything after that by myself. A group of three players and 3 NPCs would be a whole lot easier, and if the max allaince was bumped up to 6 players and 6 NPCs, it would be smooth sailing. (You could probably do Kindreds or King Buffalos in Uleguerand Range and Spartoi/Lemures in King Ranperre's Tomb for super-fast XP.)

Can you summon your NPC in Ru'Aun Gardens? I never bothered to try. If so then Flamingo's might be the mob for you. No link, no aggro and no big time AoE. They are lvl 72-74.

Unless they added it in the last patch, you cannot summon them in sky or sea. Flamingos would be fairly awesome with 3 people, you could level your NPC to 66-67 off of them and they are a breeze to tank as a RDM.

[aurik]

Can't summon them in sky, I'm pretty sure. What about Tragopans in Bibiki?

[Lordwafik]

Why do people completly ignore newtown molvapolas for NPC grouping? There's 2 tiers of mobs, 1 that are EP-DC to 75, near one of the 3 entrances from oldtown, and there's another camp near mineshaft that has mobs EM-VT to 75, perfect for grouping. And if you get lucky, your region will control it next and you will be able to get cheap Coral Fungus and the very rare Movalpolos water.

Level your NPC @ Newtown Movalpolos!!, it's always empty and you can farm a sylvan stone if you need it. Just take the ENM shortcut (gamble with goblin, win, pay 2k for shortcut but never do the ENM, then you get unlimited rides for 2k each :D ).

Please Don't Level your NPC @ Newtown Movalpolos!!, because Khamsin is there.

Fixed.

It's currently under beastman control, so I've been there on SMN, with my NPC.

[Russta]

FYI, there's a quest series you can do in Bastok that'll eventually let you trade Ahriman Tears to the NPC further in for quick access to Mine Shaft #2716.
