I am supposed to be working on a Saturday Assault Group but I am a baaaaaad kitty! LOL! So not quite yet...
Bad Seed
We will attempt Bad Seed try two on Saturday the 20th of May at 7:30PM on the East Coast, at which time I will start to call out for folks to begin to head towards Tavnazian Safehold if they wish to participate. Also we will be repeating this event on the 27th of May.
The reason we are going to attempt this NM an additional time is folks say this Notorious Monster is beatable, plus I have suffered an epiphany. That epiphany being I could spend 1,000,000 gil at the Jeuno Auction House for the Reverand Sash or I could distribute a like amount of gil amongst Clan members.
I know that some suggest we start to do these little NM's\BCNM's\ENM's for the greater glory of the Clan (i.e. free stuffs for members), and I have no objection to that philosophy, but I am hostess for this event and this hostess is making the rules for these runs: if the Reverend Sash drops I am paying 1,000,000 gil on the spot for it and the gill we be evenly distributed amongst all those who participated in the fight.
The event will begin by fetching the key item Monarch Beard in Tavnazian Safehold and with us farming Drake Scales as two Scales are required to arrive at the ENM site.
You need to bring Sneak Oil, you need to bring Prism Powder, you need Yagudo Drink and Pamama au Lait, and you need three Poison Potions each; melee need some Hi-Potions (3 each).
The core of this Event, it's raison d'être, is a Monarch Linn level 40 Cap ENM battle. You have to participate in the battle where the Sash drops to receive a share of the pot I am offering.
Do bring sneak oil and prism powder as we pass magic-seeking bombs along the way.

Group Loot Event
The hostess (me) has set this Event to be a Group Loot Event; which means all drops become the property of the Event Leader (me again) and are to be sold off and the gils distributed evenly amongst those who were present for the fight.
Here are the drops:
Woodsman Ring Lv.40 All Jobs Accuracy+5 Ranged Accuracy+5 Evasion-5
Vanguard Belt Lv.45 WAR/RDM/THF/PLD/DRK/BST/BRD/RNG/SAM/NIN/DRG DEF:3 STR+3 Attack+5
Reverend Sash Lv.41 MNK/WHM/BLM/RDM/PLD/BRD/RNG/SMN DEF:3 INT+2 MND+2 CHR+2 MP while healing +1
And during the month of May here are the prices the Event Leader is selling those items to Clan Members for:
Woodsman Ring 1,800,000 gils
Reverend Sash 1,000,000 gils
Vanguard Belt 170,000 gils
The buyer for the Sash has already been found - me. So using a party with me as WHM plus five other Clan Members as an example, we have this plausible situation:
1) Party Wins Main Event Fight
2) Reverend Sash Drops
3) 100% of all Loot to Event Leader
4) Event Leader sells for 1,000,000 gils to (in this case Event Leader)
5) Party Size was six folks, everyone gets 16.7% of gils from Sash
6) Gils to be distributed in this example: 167,000 gils per individual participating in main fight
A little analysis shows I received a 16% discount on a Sash I wanted (if it drops). If no Sash then maybe I get a share of loot from the Ring - not a bad Consolation Prize for a WHM looking to buy an expensive sash! =^_^=
And this is what a Clan Group Loot Event is all about.
What the game is about
For those of you who find the CoP Missions onerous (like me), and find leveling onerous (like me), but enjoy lots of gils and spending the same (like me) this is what the game is about:
a) you get to a certain level, and
b) accomplish certain missions-plus-quests, and
c) you find a linkshell of mostly friendly folk, and
d) you schedule an Event to go demonstrate to some wandering RICH beastie who is really boss! LOL!
And there you have it, in a nutshell =^_^=
If you don't do a), b), c), and d) then you can't enjoy the FFXI gils!
Several of these items are NOT cheap at Auction House because it takes a) b) c) and d) to acquire them.
And as far as helping fellow Clan Members achieve the item b) I ask, yet again: PISKOWIT WHEN IS YOUR PROMYVION CLAN RUN??? You cannot get to d) if you never get through the crags!
Why do you think these items are not cheap? LOL!
Big letters intimidate me!
As always, that is a good question. As it stands, I am in a different county than the one I normally play FFXI in. I brought the tools I need to connect (PS2), but there is so many other things keeping me from even starting to connect it (Mega Boss). I think I will shoot for this upcomming Friday...the 26th. I will post a formal thing on this later today (Sunday).
Lights Templar
Okay.
A suggestion:
You should go to Lights Templar Events and let them know what you are contemplating.
I'll be there
I plan on coming as NIN since the general consensus for a strategy online seems to be NIN spamming elemental spells until the ENM's "elemental shield" is broken. Plus, I'm sure we could use a tank :-)
