Tamara has suggested a Promyvion run this week. From the votes thus far we seem to have a strong leaning towards doing Promyvion Mea. If you would like to discuss the time or the promyvion to do, please do so in that original thread.



If you want to participate in this event you must sign up for it. Either do so here with a post, or message me privately with what jobs you can bring.



Also, I am going to be a hard-ass on this but, if you want to participate in this event you must have *at least* Psycho- and Hystero- animas. We will schedule some time the night before the event where people can gather together to help farm (and possibly get some maps) if they need to. If you do not have the needed anima, you CANNOT COME!

Preparation

We've already explained many times before what you need to do before Promy, so I wont be repeating it here. If you need a refresher, then check the original Promyvion Guide as well as "So you wanna beat a Promy, huh?". Everything you need to know is in these two guides.

Farming Anima

As said in the "So you wanna beat a Promy, huh?" guide, Anima is the key to our success. So everyone coming along must have at least Psychoanima and Hysteroanima. This is because a full party of 6 people who all have both anima can block all attacks for 2 minutes or more. Since several of us have already finished the Promys, we do not want to waste our time or our precious EXP helping others unless they are willing to take this seriously enough to have their animas (yes, that's right, I'm a jackass :-)



Because of this, we will meet the night before to help those who do not yet have the Anima obtain their last anima.



The best place to farm for this Anima is Promyvion Holla on the first floor. Go in there, and farm Weepers and Wanderers. Get the recollections, and have them turned into Anima.

The Ascent and Basic Strategy

I'm sure we will have to repeat this again, but basically, here is the strategy we will be following:

• #1 Meet in Ru'Lude Gardens and obtain the needed Censers.
• #2 Teleport to Mea
• #3 Ascend Mea as detailed in the original Promyvion guide.
• #4 If we get aggro on the 4th floor... we use Terroanima and run. NO FIGHTING ON FOURTH FLOOR!
• #5 Inside the spire, we rest and have a 5 minute AFK.
• #6 We fight the ENM boss (see this) without using 2 hours or anima (besides Terro).
• #7 After ENM, we fight the main boss using the following strategy (from "So you wanna beat a Promy, huh?"):
  • Enter, buff up, mages rest to full.
  • Tank engages boss, uses Psychoanima (stops physical attacks), counts to 5, uses Hysteroanima (stops TP attacks).
  • When the tank starts taking hits again (meaning Psycho has wore off) next person uses Psychoanima, count to 5, uses Hysteroanima.
  • Once again, when the tank starts taking hits again next person uses Psychoanima, count to 5, uses Hysteroanima.
  • Rinse, and repeat. Around 70-80% Tank should 2 hour. Around 50% SMN or BLMs should 2 hour. Others 2 hour as needed.
  • Finish the boss off efficiently and as quickly as possible.

As you can see, Anima is absolutely vital.
