BLM AF Excitement in Toraimarai Canal - <Do you need it?Follow

Hi, Noticed a lot of Blm's out there last night that are in the range to get the wonderful and oh soo stylish Blm AF hat.

To the rest of Lakshmi, please help us poor defenseless Lvl 59-61 Blm's to bring our clothing up to date.

We need tanks, melee, Red and White mages (to open the door if not from Windy).

I would like to get an alliance together on Thursday night (03-Mar) at 9:00 CST (7:00 PST) to enter the depths of Toraimarai Canal and wreak havok on the evil that is the Magic Sludge.

I would recommend to all Blm's that want to participate to HAVE ALREADY activated the sludge so we only have to kill it ONCE.

The brief directions are below. There is a better thread below the main posting and I recommend reading it before you head out.

I am asking all jobs to help us make this run into the canal. Bring your favorite Blm (lvls 58+) and gift them (for the cherry blossom festival) with a beautiful new hat. Please help.


Quote:

After talking to Chumimi and seeing a cutscene, you must trade a Silk Cloth to Koru-Moru in Windurst Walls. He will then give you a magic doll (key item).

Go into Toraimarai Canal (and make sure you have Sneak). You must investigate a ??? at H-7. Activate Manafont. While Manafont is active, examine the ??? at H-7. The doll will tell you it senses a powerful magic force nearby.

At that point, go to the room at J-8. If you examine it, an NM elemental called Magic Sludge will show up. Being a Dark Elemental NM, it'll bombard your party with spells like Bio III. When it's dead, all BLM's in party with this quest can go back to Chumimi to finish the quest.

Note: You can back away after spawning the elemental if the party isn't ready to fight it. It will disappear after awhile if not engaged in battle.

I'd be more then happy to help, and I can open the Three Mage Door by myself. My only condision is that if a Key drops, if I could have it for the quest Wild Card so I could get a Promise Badge eventually.

Hmmm

WIth so many new Windurst Rank 7s maybe we could arrange a joint expedition? For 7-1 we have to kill 4 slimes in Toraimarai Canal (lvl 64 NM slimes, non-linking). I bet we could get both done in rapid succession and this might get you a few more volunteers. See the link below for the Windurst 7-1 description:

Windurst 7-1

In any event, I would be happy to help regardless, but I sure would like to get 7-1 done while I was down there -.^

As usual Andi, great idea. If you want to coordinate the 7-1 side I'll try to pull people in to help with both. I would love a little side action while we are in the canal.

I would like to join. I will make sure I have activated the sludge by Thursday. I am only 1100 from level 60 BLM.

Oh boy, I did this with an alliance when I was around 55. It's not friendly. The biggest battle was getting there. Do not splitup. Our Alliance split up for some reason, people got multiple aggro's, then others ran to help getting more aggro. It took us about 15 mins befor everything was under control.

If I'm free when you do this, I'll come along for the ride and help you guys out ^^

Well I activated my sludge last night. The process is pretty easy actually (especially if you are from Windy and can open the door yourself).

I also received 5 tells last night from Blm's that are set to do this tomorrow night. I would love to turn this into a sludgefest/hatfest.

If Andi is able to get people together for 7-1 this would be a perfect alliance for that as well. Blm's are best on jelly types (for 7-1).

I want to thank all for the interest and look forward to everyone getting together tomorrow night in Lower Jeuno to start offf this event.

*Edited the last sentence. Had said I want to tank (instead of Thank) and I didn't want anyone to get the idea that I really wanted to tank. lol

Im really trying hard to get the sludge activated, but im not from Windy. I did the 4 quests basically all last nite thinking I could gain access that way. Unfortunately I can't get the last quest that gives you access to the area. I am tryin hard to figure out if/what I'm doing wrong, hopefully i can have it done by tonight.

After you see the first 2 cutscenes then you need to go to the location of the NM pop (in the small circular room NE of the last ???.

There will be some skelly's and a scorp in the room. Just make sure sneak is up and click the ??? in the middle of the room. This will activate a CS and will also pop the Magic sludge...RUN. Just leave the room before it aggroes (not really a problem) and warp out. You have activated the sludge.

I just went to Windy Woods and asked high Rank people to please help me get through the mage doors (I am from Bastok). I would also recommend contacting Captainplanet early tonight (if he's on early) as he can let you through the door.

There are actually two ???'s you have to activate in Toraimorai before you will pop the sludge. At the one in H-7 you examine, use Manafont, then examine again. You have to make sure to do this before going to the ??? to pop the Magic Sludge or else you won't get anything.

I actually had to go to 3 different locations. I first went to H-7 and then click the ??? marks. After that I went to I-9 and click the ??? marks there. I was told to use Black Mage power at this location, so I used Manafont and clicked the ??? marks again. Then the doll starting absorbing the magic (Cutscene). I was told to go to a different location. I finally went to J-8 and I was able to pop Magic Sludge. Did I do something wrong or are there 2 ways to pop the NM?

Captainplanet you did exactly the right way. I think we are all meaning the same thing but saying it differently That's why I recommend that anyone preparing for tonight follow these directions (this gives all of the AF but the directions for the hat are dead on and well defined..

Congrats to those that got 7-1 done tonight. There was an overwhelming response to Andrinor's 7-1 party. Mad props dude.

Unfortuantely, a lot of people that wanted to do it couldn't for reasons of space and time conflicts.

Andrinor, and me as well, would like to do another run of 7-1 for those that missed it the first time through.
Please post here if that is you.

I also would like to say congrats to all the BLM's that completed AF3. Thank you to all those who helped. I dc'ed right after I clicked the ??? and finished the quest. But I did get the hat.
#22 Mar 04 2005 at 1:35 AM Rating: Good
Congratulations to all who finished 7-1 and BLM AF3. I was rather surprised to find there was an almost full alliance already in place for Windy 7-1 at this time....I am sorry to all those who did not get to go. I would be happy to go again (I know now how to get there) and help out. If you missed it or are willing to help, please post here and I will try to sort out a time to go again.

I want to thank all of the peeps that helped with BLM AF3. Special thanks go out to Bastila (whm), Stilgarr (Sam), Sebring (Pld) and to the main tank a level 62 Pld who's name I forgot to write down.

Thanks to Captainplanet as well for coordinating the Windy side.

Lakshmi has 8 Blm running around with their new hats from last nights effort. Woot!

Unfortunately we had one Blm that couldn't actiate the ??? until the alliance was over (Sorry Nifit). I would like to see if we can help the next group of Windy 7-1 & 7-2 in exchange to help Nifit get his hat. Andi please let me know.

All in all this was a great run. Fast and efficient cause everyone had done the prep.

Man, this hat is awesome (but really ugly) rofl

Congradulation to Andi and all on Rank 8. It is nice to see both efforts succeeded.

That's what you get for accepting such a dirty, moldy gift from the likes of Shanatoto. ^^
