Login Campaign III

Yea? Tell me how? Oh, right you have a linkshell or friends to back you up, so you don't know the ordeal someone has to go through shouts. Just shut up.

Here's a question: why are you farming Durinn for jewels of voyage? Briareus is a -much- better option...

[detlef]

Why is Briareus better? You have to kill 3 NM that aren't right next to each other for a chance at a single drop versus 3 NM close to each other including one timed spawn that's almost always up.

Because people can be tempted with the helms to get off their butts and come help.

let see. durinn drops = Jewel of Voyage X3. stone of voyage 1, jewel of wieldance1, card of wieldance 1 + like other dude said NMs are much closer to pop.

Briareus drops = Stone of Voyage 1, Jewel of Voyage1, Helm of Briareus 2. + pop NMs are far and sometime +2 dont drop even with yellow proc!.

so ya if you mostly farming +2 durinn drops it way more then briareus.
also better chance for help if needed since it drops 3 other kinda +2

In all honesty if your issue would be with actually killing the NM, Bria is much easier to kill than Durinn, however at the same time, Durinn is the better NM to kill if you can kill it. Durinn is harder to kill because he actually has some deadly attacks & spells, while Bria is easy, and even plays the lotto with you, he uses the same TP every other time and its damage determines his next TP, if you see the ZombieCurse attack coming in your near future, run away till he does his next TP, wastes it, and then go back to fighting, or better yet, so long as he doesn't 2H, just /DNC & stun it, then continue to kill while you use /DNC to heal. Since to me it sounds like Spectre is having killing issues, not dropping issues, Bria may be the better of the two.

Thank you for taking this thread elsewhere, Spectre. Quit FFXI and go play Pokemon or something. This is a legitimate concern for others as well and its going completely in some other direction.

Tell you how? Ok, go out, get Bayld, buy the second tier set in Peacekeepers with a ton of stats on it. Goto Port Jeuno to pick up the Atma & such from the box. After you have done these two things, go to Abyssea and proceed to be a god, as every spells will bounce off you with your insane MEVA, INT, and MND, and most attacks are weak now thanks to your high DEF, EVA, VIT, and AGI. If your still having issues, simply go out, do Skirmish in Yorcia for the gear from there, and its much better, and that will get you through it.

Also, having friends is a bad thing? I thought it was part of the point of a MMO.

In either case, its easier now than ever, that's impossible to deny, simply because of the gear, trying to do it last year vs today would be harder because of that reason. If you cant find people via shout, ask friends to help, Amber farm the KIs for it and ask them to come out to help for a little bit, if they wont help for 10 minutes, they are bad friends anyways, and if you have no friends, then you should go make some.

Of course its easier but still impossible unless you got a blm on your pocket. Idk whats wrong with me i dont like pestering ppl for things they dont need anything and Durinn is one of the worst mobs to farm due to the amount of prerequisites.

I wish some nice soul in Asura helped me finish those boots. It's probably the last piece i care about in abyssea. And btw sorry for being rude to the other guy, sometimes i have no patience at all when someone comes saying everything is easy.

I can agree with you on the content stuff being easier to get, I got a friend eager to get his paws on a Coffinmaker and another interested in trying for Kraken Club

I hope we do not have to pick Kindred or Beast*men Seals as singles, maybe implement an input of how many we want towards our point count. Like we have when buying Imperial Silver Pieces.
