Beaudicine was taken by Sandy but lost the following week only to have La Vaule taken by Sandy the next. I didn't normally see this when it was just Hades but server merge + medal update caused more interaction in Campaign I suppose.
Or maybe the JPs were more active in other servers...
Alexander was merged? Oh wait...it was not. Or did i just get whooshed?
As a matter of fact, if the JP crowd on your server does not care about campaign, this fight is not gonna happen. Most non JP players doesen't seem to care about jumping into stuff like that on all servers equally.
I made no mention of Alexander. I was responding to someone who implied that the servers that didn't get merged all have too low population to successfully take ownership of the northlands. To which I countered with unmerged servers that probably have more people than most of the merged servers.
There's a reason the unmerged servers didn't get merged, and whether or not people are interested in campaign on a particular server has nothing to do with whether they've been merged or not.
Anyone willing to lend their nicovideo login? Can't remember mine for the life of me and no idea how to navigate the page linked to me in the email I managed to request.

Lower left hand corner, speech bubble. Press it and turns off
You can toggle that off, it's the icon that's a text bubble with ellipses in it.
Edit: beaten
Getting the areas for NA ppl is hard because of conquest tally at 10 am est.
What our jp ppl did was spending all the saturday and sunday doing non stop campaign battle.
At Sunday night we had approx 50ppl doing campaign in the northlands area that had campaign battle. And if there was no campaign battle kill the mobs that defend the forts.
Anyone noticed or have another useful strategy for getting the areas?
How do u get Castle? Do you have to do campaign even if there isn't a campaign icon therE?
On saturday the day before the tally. You spend all night killing the Campaign battle mobs when there is not a campaign battle going on.
The mobs are still in the zone in northlands and stronghold areas even though there is no campaign goin on you will still see them there.
They are a little weaker when there is no campaign going on, like alpha gnole Andars for example is way weaker then his campaign form when there is no battle going on in La Vaule (S).
When their is a campaign battle going on you blow the fortifications to all hell using the new campaign Ops tags to where you can grab a bomb and have him self destruct into fortifications to win the battle easily.
If you are defending and the region is under your control, then you have to diaga all the mobs away from the forts and kite them with movement speed so that you will never the lose the zone. (We were picking them off 1 at a time from the forts instead of grabbing them all at the same time and that results in you killing mobs cleanly but also losing the battle because they destroyed your fortifications.)
You need alot of people in the castle and northlands to take them and an aegis shield is recommended and some rdm tanks. Expect to die alot and have alot of raise 3's in handy too. If you are too afraid to lose exp and take the regions, then you will never succeed.
Wall of text.
Wishful thinking, but do campaign mobs give xp when campaign is not going on?
No they dont that's why many ppl dont kill them but it helps a lot.
Also all their aga moves become single target attk when u kill them.
Also when they are defending a fort u have to kill approx 15 or 16 to make them retreat. (If u kill the mega boss they retreat faster)
This may be the most interesting thing that has happened in FFXI since the death of PW, and before that AV. It's shocking how few people have come to rape this topic.
Still havent seen any Nocturnus pics, lol. The drop must be fantastically bad or people arent spamming it enough :3
I think the overall thread wants to know how often that absorb magic/physical damage procs as that would make or break the "unique" aspect of the pieces.
Oh and I sorta hoped Allied Ring dropped from this or opened up when the BCNM was unlocked as a global prize but yeah....
