Here's something fun for everyone doing this AF. Please spot the errors in the upcoming passage!
In an 18 man alliance which included, from what i can remember:
- 60rdm/30blm (me)
- 56thf/28nin
- 60whm/30blm
- 62pld/31war
- 57pld/28war
- 60blm/30whm
- 60+drg/???
- ~60blm/whm
- ~60blm/whm
- 75rdm/37blm
- 64drk/32war
- ~60blm/whm
- 70+whm/blm
- 65rdm/32blm
- (other ~lvl60 jobs)
we went to complete this AF for 4 blms. After despawning 3 of them (cheap *** trick) we finally fought the fourth one. Casting roughly 4 spells (2X debuff, refresh, and stoneskin)I gained 1 exp in less than a minute in the aftermath of that brutal display of flashing lights.
Here are your answers:
Error 1) brought too many people for this - the NM was so damn easy i was waiting for a rumored 17 man anniliation (which is why I casted stoneskin..and then the sludge was dead). Later I told the researcher that he got his info mixed up; "17+1 people rocked it"
Error 2) Did this AF when there was nothing to watch - waiting for each blm to spawn and despawn the NM took time; enough to respawn the scorpion and skeletons in that room over and over again. At this rate i could of finished watching an episode of xenosaga, etc and avoid boredom.
Error 3) Didn't do this on Darksday - coz if we did do it on that day then maybe the Magic Sludge woulda had game and made this AF exciting. Unfortunately it failed to please.
Error 4) Melees cheated - I think most of them started that battle with 300% tp. Savage blade/Spirits Within = 1 lousy mob
So its either we got lucky or got mad skills and from judging on how fast we beat it I can safely vouch for the latter. Congrats to you blms that got this done!
