The mithra might be doable if we get three rngs. The charm and pet will be a pain, but shadowbind and lullaby from a brd should take care of that.

Just pop Fealty at 50% and charm isn't an issue.

Going to resub (cancelled a month ago since I hadn't logged in since like September) due to the email. Did they ever redo sky gods for level 99 like they talked about when considering adding the 99Aa/DM?

No updates to sky gods yet. Though that would be kinda cool. 99 versions of abjuration gear would really help out the crafting community as well.

Yes. God seals and abjurations can be turned into tatters to augment the original items with Synergy. Sadly most items are out dated now, and just have niche roles at best.

I just think a sky revamp would be cool. The fights used to be really fun and with new mechanics could be great. Revamped gear for 99 would be nice. They could even try and maintain the original goal for each peice if they wanted. (Zenith nuke mitts, enfeebling crimson maks, etc)
It would also be nostalgic to see those gear models in use again, just like with the AF/AF2 now.

Sky is also just a really cool and beautiful zone. I wish I had more reasons to be there.

The biggest problem would be congestion. The gods would need a new pop system as competing for Faust and other pops would be a nightmare in modern FFXI. Not sure what the best route would be since the zone isn't designed for BCNMs/instances.

Anyone up for getting some skcnm pages 1-5? I was thinking friday 8/15 and saturday 8/16, we farm pages for people who need them. We could probably do Difficult with Alanse having an ochain. I can come as brd. We just need a healer and some dd.

I couldn't do Friday sadly unless it's early in the day as I have work from 4-9:30pm CST. Saturday I'd be free all day though so I'm definitely interested in getting something setup. I'm also wanting to try and get some skirmish runs going to finish getting gear from Yorcia and even work on upgrading that stuff to 119 from Ra'kaznar or w/e.

Friday and Saturday I am off from work and any real life obligations. So I can be on whenever. I want to +1 my legs and feet skirm armor for my sam. So a ra'kaznar would be cool.

Could you do a few runs early Friday starting around 12pm edt, which would be 11am cdt. Maybe a few after work? Saturday we could do whatever, and do some Ra'Kaznar runs and/or some Yorica runs before Kazy/Suteru gets back from work and is logged in. That would also give us time to either buy or farm up some skirmish pieces.

That should be fine. We can start off with normal then work our way up to difficult. I am sure you are better than most of the pug whm I group with. I need to finish my brd 109 af head and hands, and get af and relic 109 for my sam as well. So I guess we are in similar boats.

Blech, helping sisters move is the worst. I had to help my sister move twice a year until she got into medical school. I would rather sniff an elephant's butt than help my sister move.

Anyway, the general consensus is early Friday and anytime on Saturday. That is what I am shooting for. Early Friday will be a few page runs till whoever needs to go to work. Saturday we can do 1-5 page skcnms and yorica/outer ra'kaznar skirms. Farming for some skirm pieces would help offset some of the costs. Which pages does everyone need?

I can't help it, I'm the one with the car, even if it is a Mini :v:

I have my hat at i119 now, and I just i109'd the gloves, so I need body, legs, and feet. I want to get Page 2 done first though. But if not, I have RDM that could use the other pages. I don't have any of the Enigmatic Devices for Skirmishes, so I'd need someone to help guide me.

I did some Outer Ra'kaznar Skrimish this morning and I feel like I did fairly well for having no ilvl 119 gear. Doing some 111 runs should be fairly easy as long as we have a healer for the NMs. Also I can easily do stuff at 11am CST as I don't have to leave for work until 3:30pm CST. I could also try to do some runs of whatever after I get home around 9:30pm CST.

On another note I finally got Victory Smite for my monk and it is so nice having a skill that always seems to do 4k+ at the very least. I also got Caballarius Surcoat and +1'd it and I can +1 the Reverence Coronet as soon as I get enough chapter 1s to do the initial reforge.

Just make sure to get the waypoints that use crystals as currency to port, or the homepoint that uses gil. The homepoint in the adoulin outside zones is near the wkr. The waypoints are spread throughout each zone that is outside. Congrats on 119ing your hat. Was it the af or relic cor hat?

Sweet, I know Rukuka and Alanse need some skirmish armor. Suteru probably could use some skirm armor and my mule(Mulebacca) could use some gendwitha pieces. I will try to get that blm af body 109 before our yorica skirms.

Outer Ra'kaznar Skirmish is designed for groups that do not have full ilvl119. Holy poo poo dude, that is awesome. Your pld and mnk are really getting there. That body is probably the best pld body. Victory Smite is a bad rear end WS. Every mnk should get it. If you get some Oatixur or Tinhaspa, your Mnk could deal some nice dps.

I think yorica is the farthest i've progresed so far, I have not yet entered khamir or rakaznar yet. I may need to run through. Still need to install cupper. I think I only have 1 piece of skirmish armor so we can load up and spam some skirmishes on my simulacrums no big deal.

Yorica Weald Skirmishes are really easy. A bunch of aoe mages or melee with aoe ws/attacks and the mobs drop quick enough.

Be wary of using Cupper around other people, even goons. Some goons find it funny to ban people that are cheating, even if they use the exact same cheat. As a rule, I turn Cupper off in major cities. Make sure to have the Detection check box checked and do not make the number to the left of Detection any larger than 7.0

Also it is a good idea to turn Cupper off when zoning. Some zones will not allow you to zone if you are going to fast.
