All The Assaut Info I could find.

[BRP]

Going to try this again tomorrow. (mamool)

Also, for the Halvung one... you can melee up the first one and then use mines dropped by rats for the rest. However, if you melee it up, you will be very close to running out of time.

Apparently bomb blows it up, but somehow, no one is completely sure. I know it was a pain to get them explode and we just end up killing them.

EDIT:

What moves work for Mamool's one... I'm almost positive that Forcefully(or something) Blow doesn't do it. Also, any tips on timing? My PLD might have been off.

[Taera]

From what I have seen Firespit works but it's kinda hard to time when to move/gear switch...

BUT

I have found this out....If you get one of the WHM Mamool's; when they use Stave Toss, and you manage to dodge it, it will do like 40 dmg but it ALWAYS breaks the gate!(This is an assumption, but we had 3 WHM mobs and all 3 did Stave Toss and each one was dodged and broke the gate. First one was the 4th move to hit the gate, another was the second, and the last was the first.)

EDIT: had under 10 mins left when we found the prisoner, got 1100 AP this time. I'm guessing the longer you take, the less AP you get.

[Alderon]

Did the "Golden" something one where you have to find a golden figurehead. Just had to avoid fighting the pugils in the zone and find/open chests, which could be either a mimic or the item you have to find. Think there were about 10-12 chests in the zone, mainly on the decks of ghost ships or at dead ends.


got 780ish points and a ??? earring which turned out to be a ...silver earring

[Haplo]

Tried Mamool Ja three times today, the third time we managed to open the third hatch but the NPC takes like 10 seconds to spawn and we ran out of time.

The best TP move as Taera stated is Stave or Axe Toss, which seems to have broken the gate 100% of the time even though it only does 40-50 damage.

Seemed like 4 Firespits were needed if the mob didn't use a Toss ability. The easiest way I found to dodge them was to get right up on the gate in the middle, go in first person view and lock on. Just sit there and hit the mob then right when you see the red lines coming out of him for a TP move, run to the right or left.

By the end of the third run we were dodging Firespit every 2-4 times, but gonna try again tomorrow.

[Lokimika]

ok done the Halvung one 3 times with a group of friends, and we've been trying the mines and bomb explosions on the "brittle rocks" and still no budge... we've gotten down 2 walls ._. DRK and PLD meleeing with 2 BLMs and RDM DD and manaburning the beastmen as well

the mines are just disappeering each time we use them, is there some trick to them? please let us know :D thanks


edit: we're thinking about bringing the bombs over the mines next time in order for the mines to work. What have others done in this one?

[Ish]

Just won the Halvung one, 2 WAR/NIN, 1 RDM/BLM, 2 BLM/WHM - barely won though, 2 seconds left lol... For those Qiqirn mines, make sure whoever uses them is engaged on the wall or they fizzle.
That first wall is a bitch. 2 Ridill swinging for 2-5dmg wee... So much for my one day self-imposed posting ban.

[Bleu]

We just did Mamool Ja -

We never got firespit to work, so we killed all the Ninjas and used the WHM and BST mobs.

It seems a Ninja tank is required, or at least the best way to do this. Every time a Ninja was tanking the Axe/Staff toss would "miss" the tank and break open the gate. However, when we tried having a PLD tank, toss hit the PLD instead and didn't break the gate.

[Secksi]

Did Mamool Ja with 3 people.

Thf/Nin, Rdm/Blm, and Brd/Whm. Took us a couple tries to figure it out, won the second, but with no time. Won the third easy. Got hi-potion tank, a K.Seal, couple items I don't remember, and a ??? box, gogo wild onion.

I took all my Subtle Blow gear off and just let him hit me so he could build tp. Some moves are hard to run from, but spit and throws are np.

Has anyone got anything good from their ??? item?

[Suci]

For the mamool one do you need prisoners in the area to beable to win it?

[Eaglestrike]

Just to continue on what Aurik has said above.

Assault mission: Golden Savage.

IT+ level pugils, T level mimics. The Pugs have over 10k hp I'd say, somewhere around 12-13k probably. Other than that they're a normal exp mob.

First round I went as 73 pld and the group was 3x blm, 1 brd/whm and a war/nin. Pugil hit me for 80-110 (less than birds in Lufaise) but they hit really really slow (slow + elegy though). We found the golden figurehead with 30s to go, but we were unable to confirm in time, so we lost the mission.

Second round I changed to 75thf and a blm changed to 75nin, it wasn't any easier really with this setup, but not harder either. Golden Figurehead chest is completely random. We got a Hi-pot+2 and a Reraiser in the chest along with a ??? earring. Turned into a silver earring. 750 points for the win, 825 for the leader.



Judging by what others have said here:

Different Assaults have different point values, possibly based on difficulty, only 750 points for Golden Savage and honestly it's not that easy, but maybe the lack of a dedicated healer (and haste...) caused that.

Leader gets +10% of a single persons assault points.

[Qinnydar]

Hey guys, Thanks for the info on the Halvung one, we gonna try it again tonight.

[Lordwafik]

just came out of a disasterous one at Mount Zhaylom.

MNK BLM RDM

the first rock is a WHORE, how do we get past it? it took us 25mins of meleeing it to kill it. The MNK melee'd the whole time.. we tried killing ourselves with a bomb near it and got nothing besides downtime. So me and the BLM just duo'd the other bomb, and after that I took out my joyeuse and meleed along side the MNK, tried everything, dia, banish, nothing removed it's strength. BLM even used his debuffs for hardly any effect.

After that we killed a Qiqirn and got it's mine, then ran outta time.

[Boyiee]

We tried mt.zhy as MNK MNK BRD BLM RDM - we ran in and killed the first bomb to our right - why not lol. saw the rock and went at it.... that was a good waste of 10-15min - couldnt do shit. I pulled the other bomb and thought it might blow but it didnt blow so we just killed the rock... went ahead and found another rock... I figuered lets pull a bomb and try it, cause this wasnt working.

that bomb didnt blow. I didnt think to kill the rat, should have, we had 1min left and i pulled another bomb just to try, it blew up next to the door, killed 4 of us, and the rock was fine.

After this, we picked up a War/nin and decided to try the golden salvage or whatever, in reef. Well it took us 2hours and a few deaths to not find it, and to end up back in caedera mire. One thing we noticed is the ledged part of caedera in the NE section is reachable by the north exit of reef on first map... This area is interesting, a VT ram and a VT tree alone, on a seperate ledge portion, seems like a viable place for a PH of some sort, as well as an exp area. If you drop off that ledge there is alot of VT rams and trees and some DC sheep as well as a couple VT imps before yet another ledge, which drops you back on normal level to get back to reef first entrance.

we all warped after the 2hr trip through the reef... needless to say, about 5-10min after we warped the staging area maps were posted. Brought a tear to my eye, and almost a bat to my moniter.

[Lordwafik]

hmmm is it possible my group got ported to another area because we had 3 people? all we had was 2 bombs and the rock to work with, couldnt touch Qiqi's till after the rock.

[Boyiee]

Yeah was the same for us, walk in, turn right one bomb and next to it a rock. We killed that bomb and went onto rock - weren't killing it, blm landing tier 4 spells for ~15-20dmg, same for my rdm's tier3's. After exhausting me and blm mp both with refresh and balladx2 i ran back and grabbed the other bomb - didnt blow so we just killed the rock by melee and slow nuking and finally got through.... Time was low so the next rock we found our objective was to strictly try and make the bomb near it blow.

It didnt.

Continued picking, 1min left, pulled a bomb from this bridge over lava (pretty neat looking) it did blow at last second but no barfira was up so we took 800-1500 each.

one blm and mnk that wa with us went back after the reef incident and tried again with a different group. Apparently bombs ddnt blow for them and by this time i had seen on BG something about mines from rats mentioned - they tried that but didnt get it to work and inevitably lost.

This assault is pretty annoying, but i guess thats the price to pay for it being one of the easiest ones to get to. Which is probably why reef isnt too bad, CAUSE IT SUCKS GETTING TO.

[Raineer]

Stona?

[Kaelin]

First off, if this has already been answered, I apologize - I swear I did a forum search first!

But I've been hearing some mixed information and I wanted to clear it up if anyone knows.

I did the first supplies mission to Zhayolm(sp?) via Halvung, got attuned to the portal there. Now, at the beginning of this thread, the person said you can only do Assault at areas where you do the supplies quests. So based on that I can only do Assault at the Mount Zhayolm Staging Point, until I do more supply quests elsewhere. But I can't find out how to activate more supply quests! However, I've heard others who have said you can just go do Assault anywhere, the only problem is you can't teleport to the locations without getting attuned to the portal, which makes sense. So, to summarize, which of these three is correct?

a) You can do assault anywhere, you just need to actually travel to the area the first time to get attuned to the Runic Portal for future use.

b) You need to do a supply quest before being able to do Assault in a specific area (if this is the case, how do you activate the other supply quests?)

c) Either a or b is correct, however, for the next mission, you need to do Assault in the area you delivered supplies to.

Thanks in advance.

if you die, u lose exp?

The correct answer is: a

[Boyiee]

the answer is A. after your initial suuply run for the mission you can activate your first teleport - any staging area you go to by traveling to it after that you can do assault for you just need to get there on foot, once there you can activate portal and warp to and from.

if you die, u lose exp?

yes
