Wizard's Petasos  

Ha, me BLM54/WHM27 a BLM75 and a WHM75 beat this guy with no trouble :) LOVE this hat :)

Need help? /tell Gilgalord on Garuda!!

Party Make Up

72 Sam/nin (hume), 75 Drg/war (hume), 56 blm/whm (hume), 61 blm/whm (me, taru), 61 whm/blm (taru)

granted this wasnt the perfect setup for the battle. but we still manage to beat it in like 5-7 min. In beginning everything was going fine. The blms' main jobs were nukers / healers and everyone else their regular roles. Then our health were going into yellow because our whm d/c accidently in the middle battle (bad timing huh?). Then the blms became the main healers. by that time, the nm health point was down to 1/8. So we were just healing the tank and the dd. If the battle lasted any longer, we would have been in trouble. but we kicked its butt!!!

way to go for thenewworld (Fenrir)!

Got the hat yesterday, here's the set up
BLM/WHM 4x : ~lv58-59(including me)
SAM/WAR: lv73 (Our tank)
RDM/BLM: lv73
WHM/BLM: lv74
BLM/WHM: lv75 (guided us safely into toraimarai canal)

We cleared the room without any problems.I tried to tell the Japanese players that we were going to let it pop 4 times, and depop it, so we only had to fight it once...but my japanese is limited to konishiwa and arigato (if its spelled right^^).
We fought it 3 times, easy fight, just ceep that thing silenced! he cast sleepgaII so be carefull
Onley 1 member died, a Lv58 blm, 'couse the scropion thing and the skelly's respwaned...

GL to all the other blm with this quest

We had an odd setup but god did it work well!

alliance consisting of 2 blm's and 6 pld's.

We built TP, spawned the NM then all used fully loaded spirits within's on it at once. It was dead in seconds. It has about 3k HP so 6 pallies can take it out.

Had a lvl 75 BST solo the NM for this. Took over an hour ^^

how i beat it:

so we had basically 10 blm's, and rdm, whm, and brd. we had a few more, but they left when we died before even getting through all the ???'s. I already had mine from my last failed attempt. Oh maybe I should mention how that went.

So there was this cock named Shinobi. There was this other cock too, but i forgot his name. Basically cock number 2 told cock number one that he'd pay for a tank. Then we finally got there, he got his stuff done so he could get his hat, and then told the group that he dind't want to pay and that everyone in teh group had to pay instead. so the Shinobi got all pissed b/c the group hadn't agreed to this before and so didn't want to do it, so Shinobi MPK'd us all. party broke up, end of story.

This time we all took turns spawning the thing and waited for it to despawn, took forever. We were planning on having blm/smn carby pull, brd sleep, and then we all AM at the same time. Well even though the bard had over 100 CHR, it wouldn't sleep. then it sleepga'd all of us. then most of us died though a few escaped out. Ok that's when my whm and rdm friends joined us. we all got R2's and got back to the NM spawn point.

this time we cleared out hte hallway, rested up, cleared out hte room (girtab last since it respanws rather quickly), rested up. everyone put sneak up and then we spawned it. Everyone started casting AM at the same time. Well not at exactrly the same time, which proved to be good. Hate keep moving everywhere an nobdy really got hit more than once. I'm not sure how many AM's everyone got off, but I did 4 (manafont halfway through of course). I think i did 4, though it might have died before the last went off. Anyway it died and we all got our last cutscene. So taht worked out really nice.

I tried this quest 2 times so far. 2nd time I had 12 people lvl 56-71. Problem is the organization and timing was off. Anyways... I was wondering if anyone on Unicorn server would mind helping me organize this quest. If so please MSG Wicket. Thanks in advance for your help.

^^; But...he didn't say that Vivi was the model for the Black Mage gear. He said that he wanted to look like Vivi.

when my taru does the AF quests ill finally be able to look like my all time favorite Final Fantasy hero......Vivi from FFIX!!!!

Can't wait to look like a scarecrow.

I <3 Wizard's Petasos, just 8 levels to go ^_^; But anyhow, I think all of the blm AF pieces are great, except the Casting Wand........it sucks, as do most AF1's.

HAT LOOKS SO COOL

It's a shame you have to go through two awful pieces to get to this one (which is wonderful!).
