Ashu Talif assault things

[Lylie]

Didn't see anything about the new GKT, Kumokirimaru, does anyone know if it drop in one of the BCNM?

[draxyl]

lol @ chapstick.

[geno]

Anyone know if there is a minimum amount of people you can bring for these things? Same as assault (3)?

I didn't see any sort of minimum requirement. I will say that for at least the first two going with 3 would probably be suicide.

[izembo]

it is indeed 3 minimum

got barbarosa's mits from 3rd assault. as previously mentioned a 3rd chest popped with unappraised gloves. we appraised in whitegate.

any idea what you did special to make the 3rd one pop?

My group is trying to figure out the same thing. We go as a group of 4-5 and every time we only get two chests. We usually finish off the captain just before the 10 minute mark.

Our setup is typically WAR THF WHM BRD with the occasional 5th being either BLM or NIN depending on what mood he's in I guess. Either one works really. Usually for round 3 its NIN though.

Our strategy is pull imp, build tp, pull 2nd imp, build tp, pull Bubbly all the way to main deck to kill (so the Capt. loses interest and wanders back into his quarters), then rest up if necessary, and {Full Attack!} the Captain in his quarters.

If I had to guess, maybe that 3rd chest not popping has something to do with pulling Bubbly seperate from the Captain. Or we just need to 6man this and kill it even faster. Anyone else have theories?

Maybe kill captain before the monkey for the 3rd chest?

if u do that bc automatically ends and u dont get to kill monkey

and i have a few ideas about getting 3rd to pop but dont wanna post anything till im 100% sure

Did the tier one last weekend. We cleared all the mobs, but were running short on time. We popped the chest, then got the message we'd run out of time and we were transported out. Everyone else had done the run before except me, and everyone was under the impression we'd failed. We lost all drops except the ???, for example.

However, I went to reflag today and the second mission was ready to go. Thought it was odd.

Since we're trying to figure out the 3rd chest thing too, last run on Friday night we pulled the captain up to the main deck as well, after killing the evil monkey on the main deck...still no third chest. We go with 4, and usually kill at about the 20-22 min mark.

[Kuropiko]

As for the 3rd BC, what we used to do with 4 is that i kited the captain around solo with Carby of Fenrir, just running around, while the others killed Bubbly, then just proceed to kill the captain. He is way easier to kite than his pet, so it seems better to kill Bubbly first. Setup was SMN (me) MNK BRD WHM.

But why kite it, if you can kill them seperately?

Actually never tried to pull them separately. Good to know. XD

Maybe that will get the 3rd chest to pop? Ending the fight with the captain's death, and not kill the monkey?

[Miltani]

You get 1 box for defeating bubbly, one box for using sa during the bc and one box for ending the bc

[Amastacia]

SA, as in Sneak Attack?

Definitely not.

Our group was WAR, NIN, THF, THF, WHM, RDM, and we'd kill monkey, kill captain, clear BC, and get 2 chests.

[Mizrahi]

from what my group learned from some jp is that u have to pull capt w/ sa to get 3rd box to pop, when we got ??? gloves this is what we did but hate got messed up and ended up suiciding bubbly and just killing capt so only 2 boxes popped one w/ random crap and the ??? gloves

Does the captain not aggro, so you can get behind him and pull with SA?

[Miltani]

First you must make sure not to bring the imps near the cabin, next you have to make sure the captain is looking outside the window and SA him without having bubbly noticing you.

Sorry if i'm not clear in the previous post

[Purplenv]

Ok, so to get 3 chests on Tier3 with the jobs,

WHM BRD NIN WAR THF, me being the THF,

I would pull the imps to the entrance/deck area. Kill both imps.

This is where I am confused.

Now, I need to enter the captains area, not pulling Bubbly seperately, sneak attack onto the Captain, and we need to kill the monkey and captain at the same time?

I remember the captain has dialogue when you first engage the monkey, so I guess that dialogue changes when you SA pull him? (Likely how the JP figured it out. Based on .dat mining the dialogue files)

Is it possible to SA Captain, which allows chest 3 to spawn, run back to the deck now with the Bubby aggro, lose the Captain (will he lose aggro, like when you pull Bubbly?), kill Bubbly, then go back for the captain?
Or, once I SA Captain, is he gonna keep hate on me, and I will need to kite?

(We learned on our last run, that you can get the captain stuck at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the main deck area, and aslong as you stay within range of his shooting, it won't force him up to the deck level. That should make it pretty easy for a hasted THF, to just keep casting Utse, till the others are ready to deal with the captain. No TP, means little to no problematic attacks, and /ra only is easily blinked away.)

[Mizrahi]

The capt wont aggro when his back is turned to the window but bubbly still will so u have to be fast so what we do is sa +flee + invis to get hit on capt b4 bubbly aggroes not 100% this will spawn 3rd chest just what jp told us did and as i said in previous post we are still experimenting around with this

We did this last night, SA on the Captain (he said something like 'Huh?!') but Bubbly aggroed our thf, so we pulled him out to the deck and our blm kited the Captain until he lost hate somehow. We killed the monkey, then the captain. Two chests popped.

Do we have to keep the Captain's interest once we get it? :/
