Get azure abyssite of celerity first. You'll then want to get an exp party or two to get some cruor. Ovni also helps to get you 36 mins per stone.

I'd argue getting 60 min and using a ls exp party to drag it up to 120 is more efficient than trying for celerity off the bat. It's pretty common to take >1h to get celerity, especially if your jobs suck.

[rog]

Well he said dnc/pup, so i just kind of assumed he didn't have a decent ls.

Good point.

What's the best position in Uleguerand Range to kill Amorphs and Bats during ice weather/day?

[stewie]

New char, noone to AF burn me/let me leech abyssea pt's, is BRD still going to level fastest?

should be, but once u hit around level 11 ish.
you can try to find ppl to AF burn you since they need to sync to lv 11.
it should able to speed up ur lvl a little bit

[rog]

Along with cor, yes.

What's the best position in Uleguerand Range to kill Amorphs and Bats during ice weather/day?

Any of the tunnels? Not sure if there are more worms if you drop but I guess you can prolly kill 3 sets of worms and bats in the first tunnel to Bonnacon area.

Can RDM solo all the CoP missions to sea?

Not sure you'd do the airship solo but I could be wrong. Can you do enough damage to Tenzen with CS nukes before he skillchains you and kicks you out?

I'd guess Tenzen and 6-4 were the ones to worry about.

what's needed for 100% kill rate on a kirin zerg? no relics, gear pretty close to perfect for everyone who i'd be bringing

At 75 we took 18 but of those, 3 BRDs and 3 Healers. (Some runs Brds dropped out and healers came in) and the fastest he died was 36. At 80 it has to be much easier and faster. No relics and decent gear. We're a decent but not exceptional shell with nothing fancy. 36s - just under 2mins (less melee) at 75 and we've not lost a zerg to date.

[Thorny]

I'd say 100% kill rate can be done with 12(though 100% is loosely defined because execution is relevant):
MNK MNK MNK DRG COR WHM
DNC THF WHM
BRD BRD BRD

From starting setup, shellra/stoneskinga both melee parties. Rotate BRDs such that everyone gets night/troubed marchx2 minx2 madx2. COR uses chaos/fighters without regard for swapping. Only the BRD doing Min4 and March2 needs to soul voice. Swap DNC back into main party, THF invite BRDs as they drop as well as the WHM that drops.
Setup after this should look like:
MNK MNK MNK DRG COR DNC
THF WHM WHM BRD BRD BRD

Pop, engage. After astral flow, both WHMs need to accession divine seal cure4 the main party. After a stonega 4, both should plain accession cure4 the main party. DNC touches up misc healing and fires off divine waltz2 after aoes. MNKs should sub NIN and keep utsusemi up to the best of their ability to avoid dying to the one hit TP moves, and DRG should use jumps accordingly. As only one BRD needs to 2hr, you can do 3 runs in succession before getting wild card.

We've done with as low as 8-9, using similar setup with only 2 BRDs and 1 mage. While we had successful runs like this, we've also had losses, I'd recommend bringing the 12 for complete success.

Is it safe to say, if Mob is Parryable, then Closed Position is "On?"

[Thorny]

yes

Could always take out one of the WHMs and have one come SMN for alexander for a quick zerg.

Ouch. I have cor and sch too, I just have my preferences at this point in the game. I'll look into getting that abyssite.

[GImpers]

In spellcast, how would I write a sleep rule that echoes in game as it's about to wear off?

[Onorgul]

Get azure abyssite of celerity first. You'll then want to get an exp party or two to get some cruor. Ovni also helps to get you 36 mins per stone.

I wish it was as fucking easy as just saying, "Go get it." I've committed a couple hours to the process so far with no luck, and it certainly has nothing to do with kill speed.

[solkanar]

If you d/c enter someone into Salvage do you lose your permit? If not at what point do you need to pull the plug?

[Hyriu]

No you don't and it's right after they hit the confirmation button or whatever,

[Raen Ryong]

<if Spell="Sleep II">

<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 85;input /echo [$sleepid:%spell] &lt;%target&gt; Wearing off in 5s;spellcast var dec sleepid;</action>
</if>
<elseif Spell="Sleep|Sleepga">

<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 55;input /echo [$sleepid:%spell] &lt;%target&gt; Wearing off in 5s;spellcast var dec sleepid;</action>
</elseif>

Written by Argettio. It has the odd flaw I notice using it ingame but generally works fine. Should expand it to include Manifestation Sleep2 just in case though I suppose!

/BLM and warp work fine too.
