ACP Mission Thread

[drwaffles]

Qu'Bia NMs are no joke... we went as the jobs we'd been running around for the previous missions on (WHM/SCH, BLM/RDM and THF/NIN) and got creamed. They don't sleep, but they are susceptible to at least Gravity and Slow. Didn't get much chance to try anything else before getting gangraped.

According to Alla thread you have to get the vermillion key, but before this you need to kill Goblins in batallia, Rolanberry and Sauromauge to get a key item from each of those gobs... then you get the vermillion key from gobbie in jeuno (after that I have no god damn clue)

This is by far, the most poorly designed mission set in the history of the game. WHO THE FUCK TESTED/APPROVED THIS SHIT?

after you get those key items from the gobs... you take them to where the past mission told you... which is back to qufin.. you dont need the vermillion key thats a added reward.. squintix gives the extra content for repeating the missions. (don't skip over the CS.. they tell you what you have to do)

MOAR FETCH QUESTS.

[Corrderio]

I never got the Vermillion key and was able to pop the goblin NMs.

Anyway yeah the Fei'Yin BCNM isn't a joke. I got creamed going in solo as a PLD/WAR. Going to try and find ppl for it. Want to try and beat this before I go to bed.

[matix]

so if u fail the mandies how do u pop them again? u need tog et all the gob nm again? any clue, anyone?

edit: found it

[Eanae]

Party just had key items for mission four consumed without the mandys popping...

[Suteru]

Click the ??? again to pop them. >.>

[Eanae]

Nothing happens, which is the problem. The mission "started" and then the level cap immediately wore off.

Recap (While I wait for someone to open the Banishing Gate..)

1) CS in Lower Jeuno

2) get 3 rare/ex drops from meri yagudo, pash quadav, jugner orc

3) CS Quifim G-6

4) kill gobs in rollanberry, sauro, battalia to get key items > use the key items in the same area to pop NM for the real key items.

5) CS Quifim > fight easy swarm of mandys

6) CS Feiyin > " By the way, for collecting the seeds of light to get the mark of the seed for the Qu'Bia fight. 5 are upstairs, 4 in the main large rooms, 1 in one of the shadow's rooms. 4 more downstairs, 3 are in small rooms behind doors, 1 in cassie's room. They move at random intervals, but they seemed to stay to fixed areas. Also, collecting them is time based but I never saw more than one warning message about the mark wearing off. And the first time collecting them I went to a lot of dead ends, like walking all the way to the Shiva zone line.
>> " When I got all of them, I was given an option of Mark of Seed, or Azure Key.
I grabbed the mark since I just want to do the missions currently. "

So find light seeds > choose Mark to continue with missions > Qu'Bia Arena BC

7) BC fight :

The Yagudo is WHM and tried to Shellra IV/Protectra IV.

The Quadav hit reasonably hard and had very strange aggro - when the PLD aggro'd all 4 and I got close to attempt an ES sleepga (which failed), the quad turned to me before I started casting.

The Orc seemed to be a WAR type, hit very hard and fast.

The Goblin's TP move would teleport behind the PLD and do a rush from there to avoid his shield I guess. Very funky.

8: ???


Questions I have:

1) People are saying after you have the 3 key items from normal gobs, you can get Veridian/Vermillion Key ( which one is correct or is there 2? ) Also what do you do with this key?

2) After collecting light seeds in Feiyin, you can choose Seed ( to continue with missions) or Azure key, what is this key for?

[Isawa]

Orc - WAR
Quadav - RDM
Yagudo - WHM
Goblin - Possibly THF?

Just tried with 4, didn't go to well. Atonement works well, was chipping 6-7% HP off the Orc everytime. Would have died had the WHM not kept curing.

[drwaffles]

Goblin is THF, yes. Hate is strange, they bounce around a lot. It's now almost 9am, just wiped with 4 to our second attempt at the BC... think it might be time to sleep soon!

[Asura_Zilla]

Definitely some screwy hate on the BC NMs, I'm thinking something along the lines of linked hate between the Yag and the Orc, because as soon as I started on Yag Orc went directly for me, even though Isawa had already started on it. No idea about the Quadav and the Goblin, we didn't even manage to finish off one.

[drwaffles]

The Yagudo spams Cure V on itself, so you need at least one real DD job, preferably more, to take it down quickly. NIN/WAR couldn't take it down fast enough to secure a win on our second attempt.

[Waku]

Feiyin BC caught us off guard too. No xp loss inside the bc at least.

[Isawa]

Noticed something odd about Quadav as well. It would run around the arena chasing the RDM then stop and cast a random debuff on me then return to chasing RDM.

[drwaffles]

Oh, the Quadav has a nasty move that inflicts Virus + Curse, so have your healers watch out for you if you plan on kiting it.

[Isawa]

Goblin has a nasty AoE called Saucepan, I believe. Inflicts -10 to all stats.

[Tidane]

WAR DRG SAM SAM RDM RDM

Took down the Yagudo first (Samurai 2hr'd). After that we took the Goblin, Orc, and finally the Quadav. WAR and one of the RDMs ended up dying, but it wasn't too difficult. The first time we tried (THFx2, DNC, RDM, RDM, WHM) we didn't have enough damage and hate was everywhere. Hate was still everywhere, but they died to fast for it to matter.

[Suteru]

Light based sleep seems to work. Was able to Light Shot the goblin. 2/4 down sofar
