Ambir, you are a smart cookie. I totally agree with your assessment of the ramparts a couple pages ago and I find it is a great time saves "cutting losses" with a bum rampart. Despite what divisor says about it not mattering and to basically just keep killing ,it does matter and actually can make a huge difference on the run if you buy into that condition of 0% pop chance ramparts (like I do). Saves time to be spent on other ramparts. You both know way more about statistics than me :D

[Godlywargod]

So either I fail, my group fails, or we are doing something horrible wrong.

Is there certain places you skip for time, are there mobs you leave and such? no matter what when we get to 4th floor we never have time to kill the rampart to gimp LBC so we fail...

Just asking for a little guidance on what to kill and what to skip, thanks a lot.

My first Skirmish Pephredo popped at 47%.

From what I've read you only need to kill 10 gears to weaken LBC. However, if you HAVE to kill the rampart, then just sleep the reinforcements and kill it right away.

On a boss run, I usually port up at the 45~50m mark. That leavs 50min for 4F gears and LBC, which should be enough.

looks like i gotta kill more ramparts >.>
i usually throw in the towel at 50% ; ;

[TB]

Last run we got 4 Pephredo at 55%ish, 40&ish, 20%ish and 5%.

0 drops unfortunately. -.-

[alphacat]

Just read something disturbing, is it true that socket might not pop on the route you choose on 2F?

[Arthars]

50% i think

but why u want a socket O_O

Same here, last night we took 14 people up to the fourth floor in 45 minutes.

[Alcarin]

Ok thanks about killing both same time, btw, what kind of gears and which area?

3 types or single type?

a single blizaga III at 10% can kill them?

[Francisco II]

I assume its 3gears, and I'd assume a Blizzaga III should kill them both down from 10%.

[divisortheory]

Dont' forget that -ga spells have damage reduction on multiple targets. Would be safer to have 2 BLM doing Blizzaga III from about 5-7%

[aurik]

Just take them down to 3%. A single blizzaga3 will kill them from there. Have people engaged but turned around. When the spell hit, they immediately face and fight the mob. If it does not die from the ga spell, they will kill it very fast.

[Millael]

I can tell you for a fact that the gears don't have to be killed EXACTLY at the same time. We fucked up the -ga last time we tried to pop the rampart, leaving one dead and the other at 5%. Killed it 5-6 seconds later, rampart was still up.

[alphacat]

50% i think

Save some time and skip some farming, usually we dup some rings :D

[Alcarin]

We nee dot kill east and west? or one of one area? forgot long time ago i did this zone, is just one side depending on which side i took fromt he start right?

Question about 4th floor gear. What happen if a range attack miss, are they comming anyway or warping? I always get the ranger to do it because I'm worried, but it would be much less trouble if I could do it myself.

I know spell works as well...just need to stand at max range to not magic aggro. Not really efficient

Missed ranged attack has the same effect as a hit one. I was pulling them on MNK with Trollbane when I did it.

[Kaylia]

Damn. Snakeyes pulls incomming, never wanted to risk it.
