Aqueducts Subligar/NM Run
Submitted by sam on Mon, 03/06/2006 - 15:37.
When?
  • Saturday, March 11th 2005 @ 7:30pm Eastern (6:30PM Central, 5:30pm Mountain, 4:30pm Pacific) *tentative*

Where? Meet in Tavnazian Safehold

Level Cap? 40

How long will it take? Minimum of 1 hour (probably around 2)

What are the rewards? Possible JSE Subligar and possibly NM Drop

What do you need?

  • You must have completed the 3 Promyvion missions
  • You must have access to Tavnazian Safehold
  • You must have a job past 40 and level 40 gear
  • All persons (except those with the spells) will need (at least) 2 stacks of Sneak Oil
  • All persons (everyone) will need (at least) 1 stack of Holy Water
  • The ability to warp yourself home (warp scroll, club, spell)

There's been a lot of people wanting a Subligar/NM run after the last successful CoP 2-3 run. Additionally, Durraur has pointed out his BST can solo them and he is willing to help. So, I've decided to just go ahead and try to host one.



Read on for the details...

What are the sub runs?

Inside the Aqueducts there are special undead mobs known as "Fomor". Fomor consist of every selectable race and job. When killed, they may drop Job Specific Equipment based upon the job they are. E.g., MNK Fomor may drop MNK JSE, PLD Fomor may drop PLD JSE.



The JSE is then used in a quest to get a Rare/EX JSE item that is generally pretty good (if not very nice).



You can read more about the JSE Subligars in the "Dive into the Phomiuna Aqueducts" guide. Specifically, check Subligar Farming for the details.

What about the NMs?

There are three NMs of interest in the Aqueducts. They can be found in the "Dive into the Phomiuna Aqueducts" guide under NM Hunting. Depending on the party layout we have, we may or may not fight these NMs.

Will we be fighting the Minotaur?

Short answer: No.



Long answer: Definitely no. The Minotaur mission requires a lot more manuvering than we will want to do when farming subs. Also, because we will be killing Fomor, our hate will be raising. Meaning we sure as hell don't want to head to the Library (which is part of the mission.)



So, no, we will not be doing the mission.

What?? How DARE You Do This?!?!?!

>.< How dare you think of doing this without me. I will be there and we WILL be farming SAM subs (cause I really want mine :-P) so that being said I hope to see you all there :-)

Count me in...........

Count me in for this as long as the start time is not too late, i have a habit of falling asleep waiting, sounds like fun.

GAH

Saturday... I'm out.

This Weekend

There are several Events I would enjoy contributing to this weekend:
Phomiuna Aqueducts Farming
Bowyer Ring (though we need a better strategy or a much tougher tank)
Carbuncle Mitts on Sunday

however we have finalized our travel plans and since hotels are lousy places to play FFXI from it looks like I won't be on the internet until Monday the 13th.

Good luck with all the Events!

13th

Since you were the one leading up the Carby Mitts event, I'll go ahead and make it on the 13th.

As for the Bowyer Ring one, the problem wasn't the tank, it was how little damage we were able to do to it in a short period of time.

As I've been researching the battle, it seems that all we need is bursting damage, e.g., nuke the crap out of it to kill it quickly (before it 2 hours).

Thus, our party set up (2 RDMs, 1 WHM, 1 PLD and 1 THF) wasn't ideal for fighting the mob. Check my comments here.

I read them

That's fair, I think Avayr dislikes heading up Events and Altairs - don't know what Altairs is up to other than being back from vacation.

Regarding Bower Ring:
I read your comments and while I acknowledge a web strategy posted for this fight is massive nuking there is in fact another mentioned strategy which is to take out the mages - but I do not believe all the mages need to go, just three of them.

I think we could win this fight (and what the heck is a good name for this? It's not ENM, it's not BCNM) by modifying the 2nd fight's strategy.

We weren't optimized, either. Did the tank have any hi-potions? I heard some go off but I am not sure that was the tank using them. Also I know how a tank who does not need to do much damage up front can get +8 to Vitality because I did just that for my mini-Avatar fights.

BAH!

Why?

Would Sunday be better?

Wife aggro

Fri/Sat nights - {wife} {owner}. Sunday works, but I'm not trying to create an issue for the majority. I don't even need the JSE - I just wanted to help out.

If you have enough people, go w/o me. I can always try to catch-up when I get back home.

Majority Schmajority

I actually posted the time because it worked for me :-P

Sunday could work for me also, but I was thinking some people may want to try the Bowyer Ring BCNM again then.

Ooooh right

I forgot about the BCNM. Do your run on Saturday then, if I get home and you all are still farming, I will join you.

BC on Sunday?

Subligar Run

Wow glad to see that suddenly crazy amounts of posts happened lol. Anyway ya my weekends are definately touch and go. But sunday nights tend to work out for me. I am more then willing to run through and Solo any of the formors you need though any night of the week so long as i'm not busy. I got my drop aproximately 15 minutes after zone'n into the area. Weekdays work out for me. So if anyone is too busy to go when the event happens just contact me. I only ask for two things. 1- You are responsible for yourself. Bring sneak pots or mage job. 2- Buy me a couple pet food Zeta biscuts. I'm recently crazy poor ; ; like 45k to my name lol. I cant afford to solo everyones JSE lol. On an up note if we get this event on a night I can go I promiss you nobody will need to tank lol. But on a side note.. My pet is only good for 30 mins due to my 2hour. So for me it is a speed run.. We go in and just kill all the formors as fast as possible. Or possibly send me to one set of them (with possibly a mage backup) and send a party to a different camp. ~Durraur

Heh

Yeah, unless I promote a forum link to the front page, no one tends to see it :-)

Anyway, don't worry about helping out on this one. This one will be an alliance fight and will likely also be a NM run and I know the night doesn't work out for you.

If you want to help people outside of this event, then please do. For example, I know that SAM doesn't have a good solo SAM Fomor (the only SAM fomors inside are in parties) and I'd bet a BST could be very helpful for them (especially since we wont be farming SAM's).
