    Best to farm for each Staging Point (Assault)

    I didn't want to look through the epically long Assault threads, so I was wondering which gives the most points/easiet(trio-able) to farm for each zone. Mostly Leujaom Sanctum information would be nice ;o. (BLM btw).

    We all know Excavation Duty is best for Lebros trio.

    Orichalcum Survey for Leujaoam Sanctum (can lose based on luck though)
    that one prisoner rescue PSC (edit: Imperial Agent Rescue!) for Mamool Ja
    Lamia 13 for Ilrusi Atoll

    I think those are the 4k points ones. Periqia sucks cause I think the runs are 3k, 2k, 3k each. Probably easiest to farm the escort one unless you have a setup that does the Saving Private Ryaaf one easily.

    Ilrusi Atoll :
    Lamia #13 is easy if you have 2 dispellers, I go RDM RDM X (where X = Ranged attacker such as BLM or RNG or summoner), can swap a rdm for a blm/rdm. Just keep gravity on the lamia so she doesnt get too close, she's also sleepable, but that means nothing when the Fallens cast bio3 on her.
    Im sure other trio setups work, but I havent found a good one ><
    1333 points each


    Golden Savage is extremely easy with .dat swap if you dont have the setup for lamia #13. 1 person who's a rdm/--- can go around and check the mimics and sleep the fishies till you find your dat modded chest
    1000 points each.

    Was it your first time doing it? You get a bonus for that.

    I'm pretty sure Leujaoam Cleansing (killing worms one) is worth only 2k.

    I farm Orichalcum Survey with a RDM, NIN, and me (BLM). THe RDM and NIN stick together, and I solo. We've won 5 times with no losses. Basically keep mining until you get a worm, kill worm, then continue mining. 1333 each time, and yeah if you get 2000+, that was your first time. Only thing you need to be careful of is once someone finds the ore, the Mice turn from NPC to aggro-mode.

    I wrote this thing some time ago in NIN Forum. The Main difference consists of not touching the Lamia. Could be done with 2 leech vokers and 1 dispel, too:


    The Assault has 1 Lamia Boss. She is pretty weak but has a Charmaga AOE. There are also 3 NPCs - Fallen Mage, Volunteer and Soldier she has initially charmed and help her fight.

    Now the trick has been uncovered that you can dipel the charm that is upon the NPCs. Here is where you need 2 mage friends - BRD RDM or sub RDM. You will go in with just 3 people to max out the reward you get. If you are lucky like me you have a mage job up ,too. But going in NIN/WAR as "leech" works, too.


    Approach the Lamia and asign targets. One of you takes the Mage for dispel target, one the Soldier and one the Volunteer. If you are NIN/WAR you voke your target so it doesnt harm the mages and let it be dispel after by them.

    After beeing dispel the NPC will start whacking onto the Lamia. The mean thing now is she can recharm them with their AOE so stand back and repeat your inital maneuver. You can even cure the NPCs without getting hate linked onto you. You can even Haste and Protect them but.. whops... when they get recharmed you might hit their Haste with dispel but not the Charm - so dont buff them.

    WHATEVER YOU DO - do NOT touch the Lamia 13 itself. Even if she sees and aggroes you she wont have any active hate towards you. When she charms the NPCs she will just unaggro and not go after you unless you are too close.

    Uhh I think I remember getting 666 points for it when trioing it for a friend, but that's not really a confirmation since I can't remember fully... (trio is easy with MNK/WAR, WHM or RDM, and BRD)

    I'd be interested in how to do this one consistently. We get about a 50% win rate. Seems like fire spits don't start happening or hitting frequently until the last 15 minutes. Simply 'dodging' fire spit by moving during the animation doesn't seem to yield any consistent results.

    Do NOT move. Park your fat ass right infront of the door. The MISS thing is more of a gamble than actually evading it.

    Barbarian Hands with Subtile Blow - might be cool for this lol

    My group has horrible luck with the firespit so we focus on the mobs that are able to throw their weapons as that seems to hit the door more often.

    I've never lost here... We just start with a BST mob (which throws its axe), and it knocks the door down 100% unless the WS misses the door (rare). The NPC has been in the first pot hatch thing we checked every one of the 6 or so times we've won.

    Anyone have a good way to farm Periqua? I need to save for Gomlek, and looks damn near impossible.

    Periqia doesn't seem too friendly in terms of trio-ability and points. We looked at possibly trio'ing the rank 2 one where you just kill the undead, but 2k point missions blow hard.

    My static already did 20k at Ilrussi Atoll and is currently almost finished with 20k of Lebros Cavern. From there, we're probably going to do 20k worth of Mamool Ja. By then, I would hope that an update will be out which will unlock further ranks of assault and hopefully one of those will have a farmable mission for Periqia. According to the update timeline, it is due at some point. =/
