People like this make me wish answers couldn't easily be found on the internet, as they would never get past lvl 60 or 65, whichever limit quest makes you find the NPC's scattered around the world. People who don't want to think and just expect the answers to be handed to them, and justify their need of it by espousing their laziness as if it were a virtue.

yeah, but it's just a game.

Games are meant to be won or lost. Those people were meant to lose.

No, competitive games are meant to be won or lost, FFXI isn't a competitive game considering 95% of the things you accomplish are from SOMEONE helping you. Games like this are played for the sake of fun, and some people don't think wandering around for hours following vague clues is fun. Why do you care?

Stop being so melodramatic, and stop acting like you figured out every single aspect of FFXI on your own, with no help from your LS, websites such as this, or the FFXI community as a whole.

You've never camped kings I'm guessing

Yes, because 99.99% of FFXI revolves around camping 3-4 mobs? No offense but just because you do that doesn't mean everyone else does. No matter how many people pop up in Dragon's Aery there is literally 1000s more who could care less about those things.

Chocobo racing will be competitive too, it doesn't mean FFXI over all is a competitive game. Counterstrike or some shit is a "competitive game", FFXI isn't so I was wondering why this person would be concerned with how another person advanced through the missions. It's not like it's a race.

I don't camp kings with any regularity, I despise it. But yes, 99.99% of FFXI's "endgame" does revolve around camping the 3 kings.

IMO, many people complained about CoP(like someone said a few posts back) and I guess SE is jsut making these missions more laid back :/ I like these missions but for the time they've made us wait, it's honestly too little content. Oh well.. looking at the timeline, seems next story update is sometime in september-november, and then december to etc.

After finishing the last mission you get the title "Ovjang's Errand Runner".

There also seems to be some sort of limitation of either armor or level before you can view the last cutscene at imperial whitegate. We took a level 44 to the BC and won with her. Now when she talks to Naja, Naja says to her, well those clothes just wont do, etc. Then Naja lets you view about 6 sets of different armors she models for you. Homam armor, adaman armor, shakaree z's armor, smn jse, a bunch of stuff. We have tried having her wear different armor and zoning, and she always gets the same thing. "your armor stinks, come back with a better body piece".

So if anyone knows the limitation here and how to get it around please tell.

Thanks,

I finished all the missions and never got a cutscene like that. I just went to the Imperial Palace, changed my gear after he told me that my Weapons and Gear weren't acceptable, and went into the final cutscene.

[Koyangi]

I've tried Noble's Tunic, Errant Body, Black Cloak, Shura Togi, NIN AF2 Body, BLU AF Body, all no Cigar... wtf

[Mifaco]

wore pahluwan khazagand and got in first try. ho HO.

[Degenxerate]

took me a while to get in on BLM, full af2 didnt work. eventually i got in, AF hat, Errant body, Zenith mitts, Mhahatma pants, i honestly dont remember boots i think it was rostrum pumps. i took me like 20 trys of all kinds of random combonations i ran back and forth from the gat to naja a fe times but the time i got in it was right after some gear swaps so running back to her doesnt even matter.

[Excalin Garisk]

changed my gear after he told me that my Weapons and Gear weren't acceptable, and went into the final cutscene.

what about weapon koy?

[Koyangi]

I had no weapons on.

[Koyangi]

[Jonel]

Hearing about the clothing requirements scare me. What if Naja wants you to wear something you don't have? I can imagine the AH prices skyrocketing for a brief period on certain items. And people lotting homam, nashira, AF2, and abjurations specifically for this.

[BRP]

Is everyone taking off their weapon when they do this?

[Rag]

You can get into palace by wearing body only (W/o feet-legs-hands-helm) only body matters

[zymurgy]

You guys all complained about how CoP sucked so bad; there were a few people that actually ENJOYED CoP (my static plowed through missions the first month and a half it was released), and even with all the level caps, gear buying, money wasting, muling, and exp losing, it was still fun as hell. Way way way way more fun than lame Zilart and ToAU.

And now you guys are complaining that these missions suck too? What exactly are the kinds of missions that don't suck? ToAU and CoP are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. I can see where the problem lies, and it's not SE for once.

[Koyangi]

They'll never be satisfied.

I got in with my normal gear as ninja. SH, Haidate, Turban etc. I wouldnt worry about it.

lol i couldnt agree more. Some people wont be satisfied.

Personally I'm satisfied with these missions , I fucking hated CoP's missions, and am over the moon that these are just easy things. MMOs arent meant to focus completely on the story and forget about content (hi cop) , there's plenty of assault to do and noobs to take advantage of on the AH, and omgz I dont have to pay 500k for meds to fail a CoP mission due to a bad string of luck (hi2u AOE drain spam holla boss when nobody has MP anymore to stick up false buffs, hi2u majority of mamets turning into blms at the same time).

Anyway, I'm sure this post will cause someone to go all angsty and post how they enjoyed being level capped, they enjoyed paying so much in armor/meds , loved how some BC's you can lose simply due to bad luck, but fuck that, I dont.

[Kurp]

What exactly are the kinds of missions that don't suck?

CoP style without level capping 80% of it.

I didn't mind the level caps so much, but that was the major turn-off for most people. The missions themselves kicked ass. I don't even know if you could call ToAU 'Missions,' it's probably better off described as a scenic walk.

Exactly, CoP was the most fun I had in FFXI - and now about 80% (that's like 40 ppl) of our linkshell have access to Sea and almost all out of them finished CoP. Every step with CoP was a challenge - first Promyvions, then Mammets, Ouryu, Snoll Tzar, Mithras, Weapons, Tenzen, Pots etc - capped BCs made it so much fun! (it wasn't just "let's throw more 75s to this BC and finish it in 20 seconds").

Right now, I'm enjoying ToAU, but not as much as I enjoyed CoP - so far ToAU is mostly solo-duo content. I would like to see more "CoP like" BCNMs (capped) or more challenging fights (and greater rewards)

[aers]

I wanna see CoP like BCs that instead of level capping you, scale in difficulty based on your level. Oh well. At least some of the cutscenes provided a laugh.
