Can anyone explain to me why after 5hr of exp party on lizard 2 person from the alliance went to kill squid for amber light and there exp never reset. They were getting 560 exp per kill on the squid for 30+ kill.

[Thorny]

Gold lights.

[Byrthnoth]

Yar... xp increases continuously slowly with chain (mandies parties with 0 gold light still eventually capped at 600xp) and with gold light (you can leave one mob type and go to another after a long party for 400+xp/kill, and your xp caps out much faster with gold lights). Lights do not reset between monster types, so if you build up gold light you can reach the point where you're getting 600+xp/kill on everything in the zone. Unfortunately, unless you started at level 65 you probably wouldn't care about your xp/kill at that point because you'd be super capped.

Ok Ty for quick answer I guess I'll go lvl mnk all weekend it's at 25 ATM.
Inb4 can't enter the zone under lvl 30 tbh I didn't check

Sorry if this is elsewhere and I missed it. Turul is currently walking around the ground on Phoenix, not aggroing, untargetable, and isn't going up into the air. We tried -againg mobs next to it, but nothing. Any previous reports of this happening?

as far as i'm aware this happened just before the last update on alot of servers where he was untargetable and unaggroable for 2-3days

[Salmijr]

Yea, was definitely happening on Phoenix the last few days before the update, then went back to normal come patch day. Guess its time to GM call again.

Does anyone know if EE can be taken by a standard 1pt setup? MNK SAM melee tanks w/ 2 support and 2 healers? backline subbing /drk as necessary?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

MNK/NIN SAM/NIN BRD/WHM COR/WHM RDM/DRK RDM/DRK would make it a joke. Ditch the COR for THF if you're going for drops. Melees turn if both stuns are down.

[Byrthnoth]

You'd still be relying on luck somewhat, but if I had an eve popset and could only make a party of 6 people, that setup would work. Idk how hard Eve is to stun, but you could consider COR/DRK and replacing a RDM with a WHM.

[Massimo]

How would you be relying on luck? BRD and THF or COR/WHM can get rid of status effects and help curing, RDMs keep debuffs on and help curing when they're not up for stun. The only two dangerous moves aren't paticularly hard to stun if you're actually watching the screen. THF or COR/DRK and WHM/SCH would work though, sure. My alt was stunning it fine on THF/DRK last time I did it.

[Diane]

cool, thanks for the insights.
Our usual setup for alot of stuff is MNK/NIN, SAM/NIN BRD/WHM COR/WHM RDM/DRK WHM/RDM + a THF just for TH (dual boxed and only used for red !! and TH). But we can add more /drks on the backline and the thf if needed.
Is it only EBB and Tainting breath that must be stuned?

Yeah. Have the COR, THF and RDM /DRK if you don't want to be turning or weapon bashing after a back-to-back move. Two stunners is fine though, if you want to have the COR /WHM.

About to try to solo Khalamari on RDM/NIN... any advice? As I understand it, just pull it to the side so I'm up against a wall, keep all enfeebles up, keep shadows/SS/blah blah up on myself, and just take it slow. Anything in particular I should take special care of? I'm pretty retarded at RDM soloing :/

Put up shadows/buffs, sab > slow, para, nuke it til it dies. It's incredibly easy.

Fuck.......failed twice. It's acc is through the rough even with Blind on, so it tears through shadows faster than their timers can be ready. With buffs/food I can live through Mantle Pierce, only does about 800ish to me, but it just finishes me off afterwards since I can't get shadows up fast enough and SS is down. Best I got it down to was 36% before I went down. I think maybe the eva+ atma should help, but who knows, it'll probably still tear through me. Oh well.

[Kidnoftle]

Going out on a limb but if you think you have to rely on eva to solo it you shouldn't be soloing it at all? Do you have all the appropriate fastcast, potency, etc sets? It should be very doable without atmas but they would certainly help speed it up. Are you using the appropriate meds?

Not a top-end RDM, but I have decent sets. Fastcast in Loq ear/Relic body/AF hat, etc. Used the meds I got from the cruor NPC. Anything in particular I should have used?

[Thorny]

Your brain, first off, if you think using evasion on RDM is a good idea.

[Dominico]

Thats why I said if there was anything I should know and "I'm retarded at RDM soloing". Not everyone is a balls-out awesome soloer, I personally suck at it. Gave it a shot at least.
