@dasva: Yeah, we needed to reference to Erecia's COP guide back in those days and studied videos, ffxiclopedia and other sources for mission strategies. Meds and food were required and wipe and re-raise was a viable strategy. But those were with static groups and friends and we were pretty well-equipped in our time. Not so now. Everyone has quitted and my gears are, at best, 'entry-level' to put it bluntly. I do have PLD and WHM available on both accounts but no Aegis, Ochain or Excalibur as you do.
My attrition and pet Jobs (RDM, PLD, BST), unfortunately, does not allow me to keep up with the NPCs damage on Arciela. And while I respect all you Relic holders, I do not think I will ever spend months (or years) to obtain and upgrade Relics to Level 99 just to clear these SOA missions.
