The Raven, Nevermore - Looking for Members

This is just a head's-up:

Currently I am looking to form a serious group of English-speaking players on Ragnarok (preferably on EST time but as long as we can all group it's fine - I'm most available after 8 p.m.) to win this fight.

I currently have PLD & WAR at 50, deciding on whether to do WHM or DRG next as well. This is a seriously brutal fight - and as such, will require top-notch gear. That's why I'd like to try and get some speed runs going for AV and CC, to make sure everyone has what they'll need to face Nael.

If you're interested, let me know on here or in-game and I'll add you to my friends list. Some members of the LS I'm in, The Red Tails, are also interested but I don't think we have enough people who are either on the fight or determined to beat it for the White Ravens.

I for one, do not want to let these bad boys slip from my grasp before 2.0 starts.

Are you expecting to get DL from the AV/CC runs, or is that to gauge skill?

Both, actually.

And I don't mean just for myself either - I wanna make sure everyone in the group has adequate gear. Nael is no joke when he enters his 2nd phase in this one, spams TP attacks relentlessly.

Good luck, the drop-rate on that gear is abysmal.

Hi Nef

I am very interested

Diziet Sma

I have WHM 50, BLM 50, PLD 50, WAR 50, DRG 50, and will have pugilist and archer 50 soon.

so send me a tell

Additionally if your interested we could set up a small LS and voice channel for the purpose of tackling this content.

P.S. I have a spare voice channel.

^^ think we've met before too, gotta double check but I believe you're on my friend's list already.

Got response from someone else in-game today as well, so counting myself and LS members we're up to 5 or 6 people now.

Okay here's a roster update so far:

Myself, Diziet Sma, Allistar Knightroad, Malek Tsunami, Hayden Blackwood and one other (sorry I can't remember your name lol but you know who you are ^_^)

Alistar, Malek & Hayden are LS mates and we're trying to give priority to other shell members as well, so hopefully we'll have a full group for this by the end of the week.

I'm willing to dedicate the rest of 1.0 purely for this as there isn't anything else I want to do until ARR now.

I have everything 50 but would be comfortable playing WHM > BLM > MNK.

Would you mind going THM over BLM? THM is better due to access to Stoneskin & Raise I believe (it's an endurance battle so survivability does matter).

And this is perfect, we're officially at 8 now. Send me a tell in-game so I can add you to my friends list and I'll get our roster sorted out and we can start doing runs for Cutter's Cry/Garuda etc as warm ups and to get gear. We need to make sure everyone has a Lunar curtain as well.

If you haven't already take a look at this page:

Just to clarify, I want a serious but friendly attitude here: 5 of us are all part of a LS, and are still working our way up. But we all want to win this, so there needs to be a good level of commitment here. But we're not elitist jerks either so just remember that. :)

I myself am still trying to get my PLD out of AF and into some proper endgame gear (also working on leveling LNC for DRG - we have more than enough ppl who have WHM and BRD, I'm only worried about making sure we've got a pair of THM)

OK, so the LS for our group is made "The Returners" ^^

Please see me in-game for a pearl, and post what times are best for you on this thread. Allistar and I will try to co-ordinate what days & times are best to do CC/AV/Garuda runs. I do not want to actually face Nael until everyone feels they're ready, and we have a decent supply of Lunar Curtains (at least 2-3 each, as I doubt we'll win on the 1st try. You can only use 1 per fight and it's near the start to survive his uber Mega Flare).

Earlier the better for me as I'm GMT but if you assign a time and be on time I have no problem with late nights!

I am pretty much in the same boat. GMT but late nights are no problem for me.

Just to let you guys know I bought a 10 slot Ventrilo server just in case you don't want to use your server.

Oh cool, thanks.

So we're going to gather for our 1st "event" this Saturday around 1 or 2 p.m EST if that's OK with everyone, to take a few cracks at either Aurum Vale or Cutter's Cry (leaning on AV). Hopefully we'll see some dark light! :D

Another update:

Going to attempt a dry run of Nael soon. I'm thinking not this weekend, but the weekend after. The AV run today went pretty well for a 1st time - too bad we timed out though ><

I was hoping our schedules wouldn't conflict so much but I guess it can't be avoided. Feel free to /tell me if you have any suggestions or want to take a crack at a primal or dungeon. Unless I'm crafting, I'll be more than happy to tag along. I really do feel it's important that we start practicing the Darnus fight, to get the hang of it as we don't have a whole lot of time left to win this thing.

I'm also in the process of moving by the end of next month, so that may complicate things towards the end of October. I'd like for all of us to get this over with, so we can rest easy and just enjoy the last few days of 1.0 :D
