Smn level sync exploit

[Hapernack]

I still don't see how this is that big of a hassle... this could easily be organized and executed in maybe 30 minutes of time. If one more person brings up "you could just merit as SMN", I think I'll explode.

Yes, basically people are thinking this is harder than it is. Here's what happened the one time I did it:

1. Someone asked in LS if anyone had SMN at around 12-15. 4 people did.
2. We all got to Selbina and changed at the moogle to SMN. The SMNs used no gear at all except for exp bands.
3. The other 2 people in the party changed to 75 PLD, and we went out to a somewhat remote spot. One PLD gathered lizards, the other flies.
4. The 2 PLDs arrived at camp. Invincible, Level Sync, Astral Flow.

My SMN went from 13 to 15 in like...half an hour total? No gear, no dealing with pickup parties or slow SMN solo, and then I just changed at the moogle again and went back to what I had been doing.

It's just one more thing to do in FFXI that works pretty well and doesn't take very long. If I could get it to 20 like this, and then the rest of the way to 37 on scrolls/Campaign ops, whee.

Edit: and let's not forget that PLDs appreciate some bonus exp, generally.

Anyone who thinks you're trainfarming, most likely. :D

I hate people, I cannot emphasize this enough

The only time I ever pick mobs off trainfarmers (even though I dont see a benefit to any job except blm or smn that can wipe them all out at once) is when some douchebag runs through when im camping skogs fru and grabs one of the placeholder ladybugs and wants to run it around the zone for a half hour.

friend of mine said hey, I posted in the endgame forum on QCDN (a very reputable downgrade of alla) and it described this

1 hour later and 1 successful COR recharge later I was up 6-8k back to back emperor bands usede but 2nd not completed -- was forced to merit (to complete remaining bonus left on 2nd ring) due to other smns going late, my avatar dying and me generally getting swarmed after

also our train maker was getting adds pulled off by some random dbag -ga killing the mobs -- who does that? I mean really


anyway, waste of time, will never do again, I'd rather merit or sit in whitegate doing nothing; a far cry from the GUARANTEED 12-20K+ IN 60 SECONDS

Its because the plan was flawed to begin with, and the simple fact that not all the AFs killed everything. Didn't think I would come here and check stuff out if word spread around eh?

Some people died too because it was their first time, we all didn't AF the same mob, so in turn we all had a IT mob on each of us, instead of 1 single targeted mob.

It works fine, just had to work some kinks out of it.

It's best done with 2 people pulling a train, or 3 level 13 SMNs, or 4 lvl 13 SMNs(Synced) without 2 leeches in the party(Aka the COR and the NIN that was present.)

With Ring, got a good 16k EXP just in a single train doing this, with 4 people. Its not very plausible with 6-man PT, low lvl, 1 train...and 2 leeches.

Otherwise you're looking at 6-8k EXP outcome.

Not to mention me and Slashsnakepit amoung some others.... got almost 35-38k EXP that single hour, due to having 2 people capable of training...and 7 lucky back to back Wild Cards. Thats some nifty shit right there.

Course...it took about 30min to set up, but it was fun, and very enticing to do, and beats Campaign and ENM.

Static ftw.

SMN only. No leeches. 4 People. Best way less you have 2 people to 2-box or train.
