Introduction to
"Seekers Of Adoulin"

So I've notice a lot of people saying they cannot get invites to Delve. And because this can be such a huge topic I'm only going to start it off simple and possibly add more later but the purpose of this post is to "Help" those trying to get in without having the proper equipment earn whats needed to help you advance.

Many people overlook Adoulin gear, and some people skip this part and try to dive straight into delve.

It is very important that people take the time to collect these sets FIRST BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ASKING FOR AN INVITE TO DELVE. These sets do make a noticeable difference.

At this point, you should have already completed the missions required to gain access to Seekers of Adoulin. I will be discussing about Adoulin equipment and Colonization Reives in this article.

Adoulin Equipment can be purchased at
Peacekeepers' Coalition Reward Bayld Vendor NPC
Location: Eastern Adoulin (F-7) Vesca

These gears can further be upgraded with Augments to give you extra MP.
Augmented with Coalition Grease purchased for 5,000 Bayld by Ugtoor and upgraded by Heemo-Weemo.

For starters lets examine the Orvail Set.

Seekers of Adoulin - Orvail set
LV.99 WHM/BLM/RDM/BRD/SMN/BLU/PUP/SCH/GEO/RUN

Orvail Corona
DEF:30 MND+13 CHR+14 Magic Accuracy +8 MP Recovery +4
Orvail Robe
DEF:54 INT+18 MND+18 CHR+18 Enmity -5 Adds "Refresh"
Orvail Cuffs
DEF:25 INT+15 CHR+15 Magic Accuracy +5 Enmity -5
Orvail Pants
DEF:43 INT+16 Magic Accuracy +6 Enhances "Fast Cast"
Orvail Souliers
DEF:22 MND+14 Magic Accuracy+8 Enmity -5

TOTAL STAT SUMMARY
Defense +174
Magic Accuracy +27
MP recovered while healing +4
Enmity -14
MND +46
INT +49
CHR +47
Adds "Refresh" effect
Enhances "Fast Cast" effect

As a mage class this set has very high INT and MND also with high amounts of Magic Accuracy. I believe CHR is great for Bard. This set also has a nice amount of Defense. With max skills, Merits pumped into INT, I was able to land Gravity 1 on monsters in Adoulin.

Now lets examine the Thurandaut Set.

Seekers of Adoulin - Thurandaut Set
LV.99 MNK/THF/RNG/NIN/BLU/COR/PUP/DNC/RUN

Thurandaut Chapeau
DEF: 35 STR +13 DEX +13 Accuracy +10 Enhances "Dual Wield" Effect
Thurandaut Tabard
DEF:64 STR+17 AGI+17 Attack +15 Haste+5%
Thurandaunt Gloves
DEF:29 DEX+14 AGI+14 Accuracy+10 Haste+3%
Thurandaut Tights
DEF:48 AGI+17 Ranged Accuracy+17 Enmity-5
Thurandaut Boots
DEF:27 VIT+14 MND+14 Physical damage taken -3% Haste+3%

TOTAL STAT SUMMARY
Defense +203
Accuracy +20
Attack +15
Ranged Accuracy +17
STR +30
DEX +44
VIT +14
MND +14
AGI +31
Haste +11%
Physical Damage Taken -3%
Enmity -5
Enhances "Dual Wield" effect

Awesome defense, accuracy, haste, DEX and other beneficial stats such as Duel Wield. -PDT on feet is great as this will allow jobs such as RUN & BLU to wear Blood Cuisses for walk speed.

Now lets examine the Karieyh Set.

Seekers of Adoulin - Karieyh Set
LV. 99 WAR/PLD/DRK/BST/SAM/DRG

Karieyh Morion [Head]
DEF:38 STR+16 DEX+16 Accuracy+10 Haste +6%
Karieyh Haubert [Body]
DEF:79 STR+18 DEX+18 Attack+25 Double Attack +2%
Karieyh Moufles [Hands]
DEF:33 DEX+14 VIT+14 Accuracy+10 Haste +4%
Karieyh Brayettes [Legs]
DEF:52 MP+65 STR+16 VIT+16 Attack+20
Karieyh Sollerets [Feet]
DEF:30 STR+11 DEX+11 VIT+11Accuracy+10 Attack+10 Store TP+5

TOTAL STAT SUMMARY
DEF:232
MP+65
STR+61
DEX+59
VIT+41
Accuracy+30
Attack+55
Haste+10%
"Store TP"+5
"Double Attack"+2%

Again another great set with nice defense, awesome attack, good accuracy, STR looking good with Haste. So these Gears are not bad at all.

With the Current Update, Reives are now easier to participate in, obtaining Bayld has been improved, with the current news that the cost of these sets are now lower than before.

New Update July 2013
The amount of bayld needed to receive the following pieces of equipment has been lowered:
Karieyh Morion / Karieyh Haubert / Karieyh Sollerets / Karieyh Brayettes / Karieyh Moufles
Thurandaut Chapeau / Thurandaut Tabard / Thurandaut Boots / Thurandaut Tights / Thurandaut Gloves
Orvail Corona / Orvail Robe / Orvail Souliers / Orvail Pants / Orvail Cuffs
Coalition Shield / Orvail Gloves / Vineslash Cesti / Coalition Dirk / Coalition Blade
Coalition Sword / Coalition Axe / Trunkcleaver / Fieldrazer Scythe / Coalition Lance / Kotekirigo
Kashiwadachi / Coalition Rod / Sortilevel Staff / Avitap Pole / Coalition Bow / Shadeshot Gun

By doing Pioneers Coalition in Western Adoulin
You can do the quest "Clear the way" using 3 tags each Colonization Reive. This will net you 1,800 Bayld.
(Don't forget to run back to the Coalition npc to obtain your reward and select another 3 tags for Clear the way.)

In order to deal damage to roots you need to have "Logging" Key item. To obtain this you must participate in atleast 1 Coalition Reives and then speak with the NPC Elmric in Ceizack battlegrounds K-7.

Colonization Reives/Pioneer Coalition

Tip: When doing colonization reives, pay attention to the YELLOW messages. You will see a messages appear such as "Enhancing Support"

When that message appears, cast enhancing spells such as Haste on other people that way you earn a small bonus of Bayld during the fight.

Carry a nice -pdt set so you can survive better and also tank when you see the yellow message say "Damage Taken" which also applies to DD and any other job.

I also highly suggest doing Reives during a time where there are not too many people rushing to destroy the root as Bayld is meant to be earned over time.

With 15 Tags and the amount of Bayld you can earn during Colonization Reives, you should be able to earn enough Bayld to buy 2-3 pieces of gear in 1 day.

I had absolutely no problem getting invites as a WHM, RDM, SCH, BRD using the Orvail set and people shouldn't have a problem with you either as Plasm farming is NOT NM Boss farming which will require you to have other gears from AH, AF, and other content areas.
