Went in with 2 war/nin, rng/nin, pld/war, blm/whm, whm/blm... just like a regular exp pt. Used 3 anima and the NM was pretty much intimidated the majority of the battle. We also got lucky that it didn't decide to spam it's AoE poison skill. Biggest tip I can give is bring anima. They're worth the time spent farming them, as they can be the difference between an easy victory and a sour defeat. It is possible without Anima (did it once a long time ago before we figured out the anima)... just pretty hard, and with a few deaths.

I did all 3 Prommy's a while ago so I don't remember the exact setup. I can tell you what was "different" was that we have 2 beastmaster in our party. I almost left when I did my member serach but the 2 beastmasters are my in game friends.

Most likely she said, "Wanna help me do prommy's?"

Me "Ok"

So yes, the BST part shocked me. Anyway off we go. Totally fun and surprisingly easy. Don't know if anyone has taken BST along for this.

Wow! This was a really easy spire to get to. The end boss uses an AoE damage attack and one that will pretty much kill one person if it hits.

My pt setup was as follows
BST/WHM
SMN/WHM
BLM/WHM
WHM/BLM
WAR/NIN
WAR/NIN

Pretty easy fight until one person forgot anima and one of the Warriors got toasted. We got him down to a sliver but because everyone in the pt didn't bring an anima, he managed to hit us with three TP attacks and we wiped.

We're gonna try again in a couple of days but this should be a seriously easy fight for a prepared party. Animas, Yag Drinks, Au Laits are all pretty much a must if you want it to be easy. Pots and ethers help too but I never had to use mine.

Good luck to anyone that tries. This is way easier than Holla >.<

My Ls friends and i decided to do this promovon today,and,it it was a semi-dissastor. The party make up was:

Rdm/Blm(me)
Oblivionn,war/nin
Bobwtfps,war/nin
Porfiro,Whm/blm
Thumblina,Blm/whm
Hairy,Sam/war
-------------------------------------------------

Every thing proceded smothely on the 1st floor, took 3 min to get to the next floor, 5 min on the sec,with the exeption of a T arrgo,took 1min to kill,and on the 3rd floor,everythink went wrong. We ran,got surronded, paused for 10 min. than,we moved again, and than paused. happened about 5 times, and then we got arrgo. our war provoked, and heled the dam,but we were unable to seriousally damage the mob. so,after 5 min,our tanks died. than the Blm, and sam died. so i ran away,while our whm died, and i saw a memory stream,and it was active.so,i ran into it,and it lead to the 1st floor,right next to the zone. And so,i was the sole surviver of the party. Maby next time

Just out of curiousty, has anyone tried doing the Promy's with an alliance of 12? The way people discribe the difficulty of the NM at the top it sounds like that might have been how it was supposed to be done.

Note: I haven't gotten to the NM at any of the promy's yet, just asking if anyone's tried it ~.^

completed this last night, set the server record on Diabolos of 7:12. not sure how that's a record, but whatever :P 4 of us had full anima, other 2 had a terro. pt makeup was as follows:

nahks SMN/WHM
fndragon SMN/WHM
loqiel RNG/NIN
teyal WHM/BLM
zeriel THF/NIN
charrill BRD/WHM

RNG pulled Delver, THF got behind it and SAd for hate, then THF and RNG kited it around while summons and the person not kiting did damage.
at around 70 percent both SMNs Astral Flow'd Ramuh; we started burning anima and stopped kiting at 50 percent. we only went through 3 sets of hystero/psycho, 2x Judgement Bolt from each SMN and an EES and it was dead. BRD kept Ballad up and was a nice boost for the mp chuckers.

in retrospect i wish we'd had another bonafide DD, such as a MNK for Hundred Fists, but when you have people from linkshell that need to complete the Proms, you take what you can get. ^^ overall we did well, weren't in trouble ever really. Delver seems weak to lightning.

Following on from the last post, my team set the record on Laksmi, I think the time was 3.57, but I could be wrong. Only beat the previous time by 5 seconds, but this did include the time standing there and finalising the strategy.

I've since done Holla as well, and got Tavnazia access, yay.

Only tips would be - remember your items! Key to sucess on the NM... Not so important on this one as on Holla, but you should try to have at least one anima for each party member. Mages should have Ethers and Yagudo drinks. Don't go without them. Ok, so you -can- do it without them, but it's alot harder, and really not worth it when you could take the time to prepare. Go in with some friends and farm recollections on the bottom level, then trade them for animas.

Gotta say, it's definately worth it for Tavnazia access and the next chapter.

Well, until recently I had never attempted to do a Promyvion, it was on my 'to be done pile'. However last night the call went around my linkshell for an ENM fight, (not the mission boss), so I decided to take it up - I'd been 45 minutes or so looking for a party and just teleporting, so I thought it would be fun. Originally I intended to go as a WHM, but the party already had one so I switched to SMN.

Off we went, and it was a little confusing at first but we had an excellent party leader, so they kindly explained what would occur and how to deal with problems. This is a key requirement of the Promyvions - you must LISTEN to your party leader and STAY TOGETHER.

We decided to do Holla, so we entered, and had a few minutes waiting for people to return from being away just getting used to the place. To cut a long story short, we were doing fine until we were just outside the Spire... we picked up a double Weeper link, slept one, but then someone hit it... Memory of Fire went off a couple of times so we were looking bad HP-wise but I think we could have either run to the Spire (which our leader was shouting!) or won, but unfortunately our WHM used Benediction... we ran to the Spire but she was dead. So, we were a person down for the ENM fight, and we were a little worried.

Just to clarify, our setup was :

SMN/WHM
SMN/WHM
WHM/SMN
RNG/THF
BRD/WHM
PLD/WAR

Obviously for the last fight we were down a WHM/SMN. Upon entering, our party leader called Ice! so the BRD used the correct Threnody, SMNs called Shiva and the PLD provoked. First two Diamond Dusts did ~450 and 1014 (!!) damage each which was nice. The ENM used its sleepaga move though, which slept the PLD and we didn't realise... the RNG used his 2hour and promptly pulled hate and died because the PLD was asleep and was going to use his own 2 hour move. Other than that, we used our 2nd Flows and it was all over, quite easy for me as one of the SMNs.

At the end, we beat the record on Fairy, then a few hours later we fought the Mea ENM and beat the record there also. So all in all, a successful first couple of runs! ^^

Edit: The PLD was asleep, not dead... >.<

I go as a SMN/BLM.

The battle goes something like this:

1. Summon (whatever the boss is weak too)
2. Nuke. Just to do as much DMG as possible with your MP while you still have it.
After the Mob gets to 75% or i have used more then half my MP...
3. Yagudo Drink
4. Astral Flow Bloodpact ability
5. Ether
6. Re-cast dead Avatar
Repeat 4-6 as needed.

I rarely get off my 3rd Astral, and if i do, it kills it.

Parsers run me at more then 1500 dmg each fight, but unfortunatly, unlike RNG, I cant repeat this for another 2 hours.

On the way up, /whm is much better, there are more opertunities to cure. In the fight however, your job is to cause pain, and /blm does it best.

I'm also told (and perhaps its just a myth) that INT increases your bloodpact damage, and Astral Flow abilities are Bloodpacts. I Dont see a major increase when I use Astral Flow though, Its usually more then 450 DMG each.

Hope that helps anyone who's thinking of subbing BLM for their summoner, and anyone else who might wonder why we do it.






I've done all my Promvions now, but i still find them fun, send me a /tell on Gilgamesh if you want/need some help for this.

wow...was actually a nice job on a guide...till the job bashing. pld's do fine, and all these others do too, just as long as people know what they're doing.

One important thing you need to know about this promy mission. While an alliance can go in, only a party of 6 can fight the NM! So if you take an alliance you must make sure that all 3 parties are viable on their own because whether each wins or loses, they get dumped outside the krag & would have to make it back up all 4 levels to help any other alliance members do it again. Also a large alliance only means that more ppl will catch aggro and in the higher levels you do NOT want that. Even an alliance will be wiped out by aggro on the top floor. Best to just go with one stacked party & stick close together. Also all the empties have true sight so sneak invis & deoderize wont work. Good luck :-p

I submitted changes for all the proms to be listed as dungeons a few weeks ago. all the other proms and spires were moved but this one wasn't for some reason.

Ok, here is a map with most memorys and return warps labled. Hope it helps with someones missions

Yea, everyone says ninja is good for Promyvion. However, I advise that a ninja tank may not be suitable for the boss. The boss has a powerful AOE with killer knockback (carousel). This will obliterate utsusemi, so make sure you have a backup tank.

To Rujin who wrote :
Beastmaster: Blacklist all of these and tell them to go play offline RPGs.

Giving an explanation is good, saying wich job is good or no for a quest ok, but such misplaced and stupid commentaries keep them for u, Beastmasters dont Pt cause dumbs like u think they steal your XP and it is not true, dumbs like u dont even know Beastmasters PT also, duo/trio/..../six.

And further more Beastmasters have also others jobs like u dumby. It is just a job. Remind me if i see u with BST to tell u to go play offline MMORP.

And yes beastmasters can do Promyvion and better than u think, u just didnt try it, then stfu.

AT 2dn lvl we found something called "Memory Flux", it's name green like NPC, what is it for?
can u pass it (it looks like a door)?

please advice

Notes to add, Zone is connected to Spire of Mea, that's where the boss fight is. Spire is uncapped but the boss fight is capped at 30. If you beat the boss, you get Light of Mea Key Item.

Also, get a Rare/EX Recollection from one of the zone's mobs and trade it +2k gil to the Alchemist in Ru'lude. The Rare/EX Anima he gives you will help with this fight a lot.

I went though this dungeon and killed the BC at the top ealier today.

The walk up is the same as all the other zones similar. The BC fight however was a real pain.

The NM is a pretty stright forward fight until he hits about 40% HP. Then he just starts spamming some annoying AOE that does 150-300 dmg to anyone in range.

We tried the fight 3 times in total.
The first two tries we had a few scattered 2hr, and we had the NM to within 10% when we died.

The last time, we had all 2h, got the NM to about 15%, and he AOE killed all 3 melee at once.
The remaining 3 mages kited him around in a big circle while an Avatar was hitting it. Was funny to watch.

We had:
rng, rng, pld, whm, smn, rdm

Anway, you hey a key item after the fight, a cool cutscene and a pat on the back. Off to do Holla now.

In order to get in, you must first;
1) have the CoP exp pack installed, and;
2) have recieved Inside the Arks or Beneath the Arks or something quest that you receive in Rulude Gardens
You may then enter and you are all restricted to lvl 30 as it says (i thought they were going to implement something like this when they brought in the german, noct, and seer gear) and you ARE in the emptiness. During a frap I watched a friend of mine fight a few wanderers and weepers. I'll have to get him to send the frap again or I'll make one myself. But I've never been to the top...gotta get there.

Last night I went in with a 3 party alliance.. Was that ever so hell..By the time we got to the 3rd floor some of the team members were gone. We sorta teamed up with another JP alliance up to the spire..We when got there we were left with my alliance (5 people on each team) And we went into the Burning circle..With only 5 people we got owned..But this can prolly be done with only 6 people..(WAR/NIN, RNG, RNG, RNG, WHM, WAR/NIN) You don't really need an alliance in this zone just making your way to the top is sorta hard with only 6 people..it TAKES time

Ok, me and a party got there by following a JP/NA party and helping out where we could. We got to the Spire, went into the fight. All I have to say is... have LOTS of ethers, potions, all sorts of things cause you are going to have to nuke this thing all the way to Kazham. RNG's might do nice in this fight too, just have to vokers, and some ranged attack people, and a whm. I logged out in the Spire, so if anyone wants to go down there, i'll be there. Once you complete the fight, you are automatically transported to Lufaise Meadows, in the Tavnazian Archepelageo(sp?)
