*** EDIT ****
Arbelast is going to give us an assist, he suggests we gather in Jeuno
8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific start (be in Jeuno before this time)
*** EDIT ****
This Event was suggested by Altairs and Avayr chimed in to state he would enjoy a pair also. I have been told this Event is really just a NM Pop - so be it. Also some folks don't like to call something an Event if it is really helping others out! LOL!
I would like to go even though I have been told that as WHM 52 I will not survive the multiple fights (shrug). I do need to level my SMN after all, these might help!
Online we agreed upon March 12th (a Sunday) with an 8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific start. There is an offering involved - so get your 'offering' in advance of March 12th. That means you are going to need to ask for helps. You have a couple of weeks to get your offering. The 8PM Eastern start time is to show up in Jeuno, then off to Kazham via Airship or a Teleport.
I would like this to show up on the Calendar, but if that is not possible I understand.
Here are the Mitts....

Here is a recommended strategy I ran across....
Recommended jobs:
- Bard (Light Carol)
- Summoner (Earthen Ward)
Recommended setup:
- 1 Balanced party of 75s can do it easy
- or 1.5 groups of 70s (1 balanced party as the main party)
- or full alliance of 65s
Recommended strategy
- Light Carol and Earthen Ward/Stoneskin before fight
- Recast Earthen Ward/Stoneskin after every Searing Light (if Stoneskin is not destroyed, remove it and recast)
It would be nice if these fights could happen but if there is not enough interest - so be it!
Remember to
/tell Tamara
the day of the fight if you have questions (since I could be most anywheres in Vana'diel)!
=^_^=
Thank-you
A big thank-you to all who turned out for this! =^_^=
Success?
You guys have success?
I would have shown up but I had my taxes done that night.

Six or Seven Pairs
Arbelast was leader and managed to get the alliance six or seven pairs of Mittens =^_^=
Hah
Hah! It could just be that it's early but that struck my funny bone. I know they are "Carby Mittens" but.... mittens?! WTF? That's hilarious! It sounds like booties to keep little Carby's feet warm in Xarcabard.

On for the 13th
I plan to show up for this (naturally) I have my Temple Offering and I am very much looking forward to the Run; even if I lose a level.
I will try to show up 1/2 hour before the start time:
8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific start
March 12th/March 13th
If Avayr or Altairs want to lead this on March 12th then please go ahead, I have to travel and I do not believe my connection will be that good on the 12th (actually I expect it will be pretty bad).
So if Arbelast is around on March 13th - that is the one I will try to lead. If I can't get enough folks, so be it, I have gone two years without Carbuncle Mittens so I am pretty sure I can go another 12 months! LOL!
I mention this now, a week in advance, so that people can post their availability. If you are available on March the 12th please post a range of hours for use by organizers Avayr or Altairs.
If you are available on March the 13th please post a range of hours for use by organizer Tamara.
Thank-you and sorry about the fuss of being out-of-town. Across two nights, though, I would hope someone could get a pair of Carbuncle Mittens! =^_^=
Oh, and get your Temple Offering! Arbelast helped me get mine, it is not easy unless you have great blink or good stoneskin, and a SMN Avatar to take damage can also be useful! The Tonberries are not nice folks!
So the 12th is only if Avayr or Altairs can lead/organize.
The 13th I will attempt to lead, but I do not know what I will have for helpers. Do we need to get a PRELATE KEY?
12th is off the calendar
Maior took this event off the calendar for the 12th, which decision I agree with.
Availability
3/12: Flexible
3/13: Between 6:30PM EST and 8:50PM EST
Still Scheduled
This is still scheduled for March 12th, though I don't know who is going to show up for it. Arbelast would prefer for this to be on a Monday, Cyclonus does not like the time, and I don't think Avayr (who wants the Mittens) has even read it! LOL!
Arbelast helped me get my offering. I was checking out four rooms last week, solo, by going
Jungle > Den of Rancor > Temple of Uggalepih
which brings you into the back, near the four possible rooms holding the ??? (six potential rooms in all).
I kept coming up empty, but Arbelast located it and pointed it out to me.
If the March 12th NM Pop does not happen I think I will just try again on March 13th.
Meh
Yes, the start time is a bit late for me. Assuming we start at 8:30, that means we will not really start until 8:45 and by the time we make it to the temple and are ready to fight it will be like 9:15
If we start on time and you all need a BRD for Light Carol, I will help out.
I will help
I'll try to make it. Although, given the start time, I cannot promise I will stay the entire event.
I would like a pair for when I unlock SMN. However, I will (if I get it) trade my offering last.
Start Earlier
We could start earlier but that might present a problem for the west coast people - anyone from West Coast have a problem beginning an hour earlier?
