Ok...let me level with you here SE...

except 1 person cant exactly kill 5 DL's solo, its not exactly a pushover if you're alone. You'd also have to consider the bottleneck of this: theres 15 places to get DL pop items, which have to be lottery spawned, in a time constraint area, and then theres only one DL ???

20 umbral marrows where 1 can drop from regular DL, and a pouch of sorts containing 5-15 from ADL so larger groups can plow through shit. OK!

You can't solo 3 PW's. You can't solo Rex or Ig-Alima. Hell, you can't solo Animated Weapons or Attestation NM's.

Yes there would be a bottleneck but the items would also be available to buy for far cheaper too.

You can't solo 3 PW's.

You can do all the leg work solo though >.> rifts are shoutable content since they do reward all participants with items they probably want. Either way, you can profit off rex/alima by trading in jade cells for extra cruor, on top of the misc garbage, as well as theres no reason to believe rifts wont drop off VW4.

The point is for ADL you're basically raping 17 other people for a minimum of 10 hours of their time, whereas for PW its maybe 2 hours tops.

Captain takes 50 days max especially now that you're 99. Redoing assaults takes 50 days max.

Care to elaborate how level 99 has any impact on success rate of these assaults compared to level 75? I'm really curious how being level 99 makes mining up oricalcum ore any easier.

I dont know are you unable to get the mechanic down or read the strat? Went 1/1 on this both times we did it. Maybe its because we know how to tp feed because some of us leveled blue mage but its not that hard.

You should be able to kill the worms faster so you can keep mining more. Again went 1/1 on this both times we did it.

This is your only true complaint. We did it with 3 people and it is rough but with the movement speed + available at 95+ not to mention sprint shoes stacking on movement speed + gear. You can do this but seriously if its that much trouble get a shout group together and communicate well it goes much faster.

You only need 1 sheep to win this. Again not that hard read the strat it is ridiculously easy to get only one sheep if you play smart. You should have been able to do this 1/1 at 95

At 95 my monk and a blue mage and a whm killed all buy one imp before the npcs could get to them.

again seriously you only need 1 gem. This isnt hard read the strategy play harder.

Overall more dps and faster movement speed at 90+ makes these fights ridiculously easy. With the exception of lebros supplies.

You're full of shit...I just tried to 3box this assault. I killed 8/10 imps, and lost the assault with them somehow getting 5 packages to my two. I then did it a second time and got 5/5 packages before they got any.

to say its a skill based assault is a joke
