 * Last Updated: --Aresfury 13 August 2008



Hey everyone,

After Lienna's no show on Monday, we have decided to move on as 5 and maybe add a permanent someone or just pickups where necessary. I still hope to be Captain by Halloween, and maybe earlier now that we don't have to do all those repeats! Please post in FU forums whether or not you may be able to add Monday to your schedule? I know schedules change often, and so I am hoping to do one or two runs on Monday in hopes of finishing that much faster. Perhaps even some Nyzule.

Our next schedule run is  Thursday August 14, 9pmEST(6pmPST) 

We will be doing the following Assault mission. Please read and prepare accordingly.


 * Leujaoam Sanctum - Escort Professor Clavauert
 * Periqia - Seagull Grounded
 * Mamool Ja Training Grounds - Imperial Treasure Retrieval
 * Lebros Cavern - Apkallu Breeding

~Strategies~
 * Escort Professor Clavauert - So, this one the npc is uncontrollable and just runs around getting aggro.The Professor can be cured, but can not be the recipient of any other buffs. Some strategies are to just follow behind him spamming cures and sleeping adds. However his run path is very erratic and he is quite capable of backtracking often. Also, it is hard to cure him while he's running, as he will often run out of range. Lafaiel has graciously offered to pinch hit for this run so that we can get it knocked out. Our strat, I think, should be Nuke and Nol stick with the the Professor for eventual healing (and Repose when needed), Qualo (RDM) or Lafaiel (BRD) deals with Ghosts by sleeping and silencing them, leaving Zae. QUalo/Lafaiel and me to trail behind (or ahead if no mobs left behind) killing and lullabying all the skeletons along the way and an eventual Ghost if needed. I am not really sure if we'll need to fight anything at all with Lafaiel joining us, but you mages would know better than I.  Basically I am hoping to sleep our way through this one.
 * Seagull Grounded - This was one we have done many times. Nol babysits the npc and heals and we beat down some crabs.  Bring your biobiki shell if you have one.
 * Imperial Treasure Retrieval - This one requires no fighting whatsoever, and as such any movement enhancement/flee you can bring would help. It is a game of who can get the most jewels from coffers to win. You can either get the jewel from the coffer itself or take it from a mob.  I would like to have both go on.  We will travel in pairs.  The mobs camp our npc route in order to try and steal the jewels. If one person is able to aquire a jewel and heads for npc, the other will cover them.  This way if a mob steals the jewel, the partner can steal it back.  Again, movement speed seems to be a factor here, so bring w/e advantage you can!  All we need is 2 jewels for the win.
 * Apkallu Breeding -15 MINUTE ASSAULT! This one is a bit complicated, but not too bad at all considering all we need is one pair for a win. The Apkallu speak in morse code, and we have to match them to their male/female counterpart.  Although there is no fighting on this mission, there are bombs that will aggro and kick our asses, so please bring some way to invisible yourself.  This can go down two ways, either you all bring/print out copies of the map for yourself and we work together, or I can translate and hope to work out at least one pair.  Obviously printing the map out and working together would work best, but I did spring this last minute, so I understand if you don't have the time/ways/means.

The first two should ensure that everyone is complete all the way through Sergreant, and then onward and upward. Please try to be early/on time because Laf will be joining us and may need to go to another event immediately afterward.

Following that, our next schedule run is  Thursday August 21, 9pmEST(6pmPST) 

We will be doing the following Assault mission. Please read and prepare accordingly.


 * Leujaoam Sanctum - Supplies Recovery
 * Periqia - Stop the Bloodshed
 * Ilrusi Atoll - Apkallu Seizure
 * Nyzul Isle - Nyzul Isle Investigation

~Strategies~
 * Supplies Recovery - The walk-through page covers it well. Need 1 good kiter and then the rest of the group goes up top and kills their way back. Kiter waits at start until rest are in position then triggers mission by talking to NPC. He then kites the imp that the 2 BLUs are trying to kill to prevent them from doing so. All loses where because people lost their minds and ran off to solo things for no reason and died. So, who wants to be the kiter?
 * Stop the Bloodshed - Object is to kill 35 chigoes all over the map. Lamia patrol the map and should be avoided if possible. Key to winning is to make sure you systematically cover the map. There are 4 corner areas and a center area, but the tunnels can get confusing. Pending our situation, we will either split up into 2 parties, or just have to move really quick.  Nol, yoyr sam may be necessary, so please have it available.
 * Apkallu Seizure - DDs are best, but doesn't matter much. There are a few too weak fish around the map that should be killed but almost any job can handle them solo (1600 HP) and they do not respawn. After the fish are dealt with, you need to find a ??? and get a fish. Then you find a bird and get in front of it. It will stare at you. You /bow. It let's down it's gaurd. You /welcome. You may need to repeat these emotes and you should macro both of them for this assault. When it says it likes you "talk" to it. This uses your fish and if you lose the bird now you have to find another fish. After the bird takes your fish, you have to follow it back to the Prof. You must stay 2-3 steps behind it (right at edge of attack range) all the way. If the bird sees a fish, you, another player, or another bird running, it will flee and you start over. If it stops walking it means you are either too close or too far (up to you to decide which). If you don't correct immediately it will flee and you start over. When you get back to the Prof, the bird will take one last look behind it and you have to get right behind it and slip around to the little piece of land there to avoid the bird turning and fleeing. Takes some practice. 1 bird wins.
 * Nyzul Isle Investigation - I will acquiesce to Nol on this as he has become very well experienced here!

The 4th run will be Nyzul Isle Investigation pending necessary repeat of any of the first missions.
