Alright, its been in the back of our minds for awhile. Now its a reality. HAMBURGERS ARE NOW A PIZZA TOPPING....wait, no.
CoP Missions! Aydann and myself are going to start arranging a mission or two every week, starting this Friday(october something) where we will do the 3rd part of mission 4 "The secret worship" We'll post details on what will be required hopefully by wednesday.
Quetre said Wednesday, and it's Thursday, so sue me.
CoP 4.3 - The Secrets of Worship
Make sure you have all of your talking done for The Savage, including talking to the Walnut Door in Tav Safehold. If you don't, Quetre will write angry letters or something.
The Sacrarium is 50 cap, it's got fomors and skeletons and taurs. If that wasn't exciting enough, it also has a maze.
There are a few parts to this mission: farming keys to get to the mission NM, clearing fomor hate after keys have been obtained, and then actually killing the mission NM.
Fishy as PLD, Tim and Ruo as BST, Quetre as RDM, Enkatsu as MNK and me as WHM..unless anyone other than Quetre really has a problem with this. Since no BLM for escape, we'll probably need to set HP in Tav Safehold and get warp to get out of Sacrarium after killing formors.
So yeah, that's about it, read the walkthrough for CoP 4.3 in the link posted above as it's pretty good info also. Oh, and reply in this thread if you're in for tomorrow night, will probably aim to start at 7:00 eastern or so.
Oh, and if anyone who has actually done this has any feedback, please share

The obvious: If something does go wrong on the way in and someone dies, find a safe spot and let raise sickness wear off before continuing. The maze is full of undead and sneak or not, a poorly timed reraise sickness wearing and instant blood aggro is never good.
If you don't want to farm the key and reset hate, I believe that Thieves can pick these doors as easy as the aqueducts.
Not sure the usual fight strategies, but we had a member sneak pop the NM and run back out of the library into the hall. We fought the NM and after a time he'd fly off down the hall. Eveyrone rested as much as possible and waited for him to make the circle and come flying back out of the library again, where we beat on him some more until he took off. Rinse and repeat.
I'm planning on coming as WHM for this, unless my MNK is really needed instead.
Please try to get all your cutscenes done prior to starting tomorrow. We'll meet in Jeuno at 7:00 to Teleport-Vahzl, kill a Golem and then do Promyvion-Vahzl. Check out the walkthrough at the link posted above for more info.
I say we do them in the order you have listed there.
If possible as well I would say do all the 50 caps, then do the 60 caps, which would require doing the first fork 50%, then switching to second fork, 50%, then finish the first, then finish the second, then just complete the third as is.
Of course who knows if you can do that or if it would be even viable.

I think you can work in more than one fork at once..if possible, that would be nice so we're not switching gear back and forth for 50/60 caps.
Well, since Ruo's the only one who expressed an opinion, and these are on for tomorrow, I'm going to go ahead and say we are going to do all the 50-cap and then the 60-cap parts. We'll start with Tenzen's path, so make sure you read the guide and come prepared with food/meds/etc. We'll talk jobs tonight.
i like the idea of knocking out the 50s, then the 60s, etc.
my vote for parties for the 50s:
Tenzen: exp pt!!!: NIN quet THF tim WAR fishfuck WHM ayd SMN lolkatsu BRD luo or a good mix of jobs, if someone wants to play somethin else. lets kill all those punkass dolls! or we can buy a buncha skeleton keys for if we get tired of fighting them all.
Ulmia: PLD tim MNK ayd SMN quet SMN enk BLM fish BRD luo
invincible, 2x astral flow, fight should be over. mnk and blm there to clean up any leftovers. (according to the guide, 1 astral flow kills the pets and takes the cats down to less than half life)

Job suggestions sound good to me. BLM for the Mithra fight will also be good if Sleepga is needed. We may need to rethink for Snoll Tzar fight, with everyone else DD and just me as WHM in case keeping people alive is needed. But that's once we get through the 50 stuff.
for the snoll fight i still have enough cluster cores for a salt. assuming it's 60 cap i should be able to do the whole warrior maat fight thing and MS Raging Rush->ickywing -> MS Raging Rush this ought to yield about 2k+ without breaking a sweat, and i may be able to get a 3rd MS RR if I sub sam, i don't know if it would last long enough, but it would be close.
tp heavy: MNK MNK WAR DRK (or SMN if DRK cant perform at 60 / no gear available) PLD BRD
everyone 2 hours, ruo sings super duper damage-wamage songs. use one of them salts if we have to.
other way is to count on burst damage but i donno how strong this would be at 60 cap: PLD SAM SMN SMN BLM WHM or MNK for ayd
ruo self-skillchaining and all the mages bursting. i dont really seeing whm being too worthwhile in this fight as its so short. 100 fists much more useful.

I dunno how useful SAM is gonna be in this fight as Gekko and Kasha are over 65+. That would leave me to rely on Yukikaze without Hagun support. Personally, again, I'd rather come as brd, 2xMinuet and 2xBallad. I think our best bet would be:
PLD MNK WAR SMN SMN BRD
Just all pop 2hrs, I concentrate on keeping Tim alive (if he still has hate) and everyone else just goes retarded on him.
If Fishy was to use his little axe and generate too much hate Tim could always cover him and try to gain some hate back. If Ayd took too much hate she can die and RR. This is of course assuming that SMN works well against him.
Snoll Fight (and possibly BCNM on Louverance's path) this Friday, assuming Enkatsu is available. If that's a no-go, let's get the cutscene in the 60-cap Pso'Xa on Tenzen's path.
Enk, what was your party setup/strategy for Snoll?
We should definitly atleast complete the CS in pso'xja on friday. If enk is there, lets bust out the snoll/bcnm as well. Anyone interested in trying to finish the entire 3rd path on saturday, let me know(i have overtime that im able to get out of so give me an excuse please )
fishy you're only good for 'short bursts of time' anyway...bahahhhhaaah its a penis joke dude, kind of like that you're not so great in the sack nahmean? quetre told me cause you guys humpalot
lets do the melee party and if that doesnt work then we probably have to find some outside help.
drk + tim's stupid mercurial kris+ souleater+that weird blood weapon thingy = probably the most damage we can do to something in the 45 seconds we have with the dude.
I was thinking opening fight with a either sata+souleater+guilliotine then switching immediatly to merc kris and popping two hour. i even bought the 500k scythe for level 60 cap so it'll be good stuff. :ninja!:
