RDM/BLM would be perfect, especially since I'm probably going to go PLD and full tank, now that Jim wants to WHM full-time (I'll still be leveling casters, but probably only as a sub for PLD or utility).

Yeah, just hit SAM 40 last night and my WAR is already past the sub cab, so I'm basically set to take SAM to 75 except for needing to pick up /NIN at some point.

Some point? Or tonight?

Should be able to duo this now, plus help anyone else willing to travel to Bastok before we do.

We really need a tank for forming groups in a reasonable time frame so this is appreciated!

Sure, we can do NIN quest tonight, and maybe an XP party that doesn't take quite as long to get started.

@J1M, I farmed a couple of these:

Which can be used to spawn an NM that has a high chance to drop these:

We should try to get you some. Maybe me too :D

Sounds like a fun side quest. Maybe we can **** in someone with the treasure hunter passive.

Productive night. Started off by unlocking the server's favorite subclass, NINJA. Which everyone knows is most symbolized by navigating a damp cave and then killing 3 sea creatures at the same time.

Next we took an EXP party to the desert, which was average but the NIN tank kept complaining because as we already discussed they prefer damp enclosed spaces.

Finally, we went on a very non-ninja, white mage mission, to infiltrate a deadly Antica maze using sneaking and invisibility to recover an ancient relic for a religious order.

As mentioned last night, I'm hoping to get SAM AF weapon quest done today, and I also still have some bonus XP I need to burn from eco scroll. When are you guys going to be on?

Same as normal, after 8 pm EDT. Maybe we can find some other SAMs.

Made another edit to the party UI so that non-casters don't look like they are out of mana. Makes it easier to see party resources at a glance.

We went to Garlaige Citadel to level grind on bats. First bat we pull aggros another bat. Jim tries to sleep the add, but it fails, and then the two bats begin double teaming Jim. One by one, we fall. We managed to dispatch the second bat, and with just Kalarion and Awoir left standing, they very nearly avenge us and slay the second bat. But! At the last moment, the second bat used a leech ability as one last parting gift.

It was a low point, but by the end of the night we still walked away with a new artifact katana, a level, and 10k gil.

Suggestion: it's been very helpful knowing when @J1M will be on so we can coordinate with him. I think it would also be helpful for scheduling to know in advance what time everyone has to log off. That might also help those of us who have a tendency to forget themselves in the moment and game past their bed times.

What level do we need to get people to so we can collect the limit break items while gaining XP? Specifically thinking about the mushrooms and liches since I don't think anyone wants to opt into fighting bombs.

The first level uncap/limit break quest for 50 -> 55 can only be accepted on a level 50 job. I do not know if you need to have accepted the quest for the quest items to be able to drop, but the mobs that drop them are level 51-55 so they could be fought at level 44-49, but they have high droprates so you wouldn't be farming them for long.

Great EXP party in Crawlers' Nest earlier. Our chronicler @Val the Moofia Boss wasn't there to get screenshots, but, despite a couple links, things went pretty smoothly. Got to put my artifact katana to use and do the big damage with the assistance of @J1M's Haste, and the skill chain damage with @Kalarion was crazy, easily doing at least half of a high level crawler's HP. Apparetly BST lizards do a move that lower's the target's evasion, which synergizes well with multihit weapon skills. Unfortunately, this has no corresponding debuff icon in HXUI, so you have to be paying attention to see when the lizard uses it.

@J1M is capped at WHM 50 now and I'm at SAM 46, so we're looking at farming limit break quest items. I also can't find any information on whether they can be acquired before the quest is taken, but, given the way I still get subjob quest items even though I completed that forever ago, I bet they can. They seem to be normal drops from the mobs that carry them, and, according to the wiki, the drop rate is '25-50%, depending on your Treasure Hunter'.

The other thing we can work on now is subjobs for those who need them. I'm told /NIN is good for SAM (for whom isn't /NIN good?), so I could bring that or my level 30 THF.

Also, @Kalarion, M. Elvaan RSE starts Oct 09, 09:55:12 PST.

If we group tomorrow, I'm voting we go for LB items.

For RSE, we can get those keys, anytime, right? Just need to use them when the quest is up?

Congratulations to @Val the Moofia Boss on being appointed official Navigator of our linkshell! Your past and future hard work are appreciated.

On that note: it has come to my attention that we are not all using the same maps, so we need to establish a standard. I suggest we all adopt in-game map pack I've been using: https://github.com/CriticalXI/XICombinedMaps

You can download the pack directly from this link: https://codeload.github.com/CriticalXI/ ... heads/main

To install it, extract the contents of the 2048x2048 folder (the one with all the ROM folders) to \HorizonXI\Game\polplugins\DATs\combinedmaps, and then, in Launcher > Settings > Pivot, enable the toggle for Combinedmaps.
