50 Cap area, a level 58ish mob, constant tripple attack, blaze spikes, 10k HP, and self destruct. Count me in!



Oh, but I cannot get to Site #B01 yet, can I? Probably requires doing something more than just beating the promies.



//// end actual comment. Being pointless story.

I like your idea of 'kill anything we see'. In fact, just Tuesday (6/27) our static had some scheduling problems, so the few of us on decided to go hunting. Nothing particular...just wanted to kill things. NM things to be exact. First target was an NM which pops after clicking a ??? in Mount Zolieojaooeaham. We showed up to kill him simply because he killed me once before. Me, him, and the drk failed to beat him...twice. I have no doubt that we will come back to kill him.



After that, we went to quicksand caverns and picked a few fights with some NMs there. In particular Antican Tribunus crossed our path (By crossed, I mean we went out of our way to get to him because the drk told us he had the item to spawn Tribunus, and thought he might as well use it. What he failed to tell us was he had an item to spawn Tribunus VII-I...)


Anyway, this is how it looked.

Me >> NMs are usually harder than the mobs in the surrounding area.

Me >> These mobs are all DC at least.

DRK >> It says he is level 60-62. He is actually easier than all of these.

Me >> Oh...thats good, I guess.

(We procede to clear the room being careful not to pull Tribunus. Finally room empty.)

Drk >> I don't know where I am supposed to trade this item to.

Me >> What do you mean...Tribunus is right over there.

Drk >> Really? Oh.

Kaliv >> {Provoke} Antician Tribunus.

(moments later)

Drk >> Uhhh...this isn't the right guy.

Kaliv >> What do you mean 'this isnt the right guy'? It's an NM named Tribunus in quicksand caves. That's what you said....

Kaliv readies Swift Blade.

Antican Tribunus takes 1 damage (probably actually did around 4 or 5 damage, but I like to make fun of him)

Shimari readies Cross Reaper.

Antican Tribunes takes 984 damage.

Skillchain Darkness. Antican Tribunus takes 1023 damage.

Antican Tribunes gets angry at the drk....procedes to kick his ass.

Kaliv >> {Provoke} {Flash} {Rampart} {Cover} {Defender} {Cure IV}

Me >> {Cure V} Drk.

Me >> {Cure V} Drk.

Me >> {Cure V} Drk.

Me >> {Cure V} Drk.

Me >> {Cure V} Drk.

Me >> {Cure V} Drk.

Piskowit casts Cure V. Drk gains 740 HP.

Me >> {Cure V} Drk.

/goodbye

Piskowit waves goodbye to drk.

Drk at about 100 life, Kaliv finally gets hate back.

That is, until the dark looks at him funny.

Antican Tribunus readies Eagle Eye Shot.

Drk Takes 900 damage.

Drk was defeated by Antican Tribunus.



Me and Kaliv managed to duo it after that. Us two together can do one thing effictively....and that is to stay alive. Killing...not so much. We had to knock off the last 40% of its life. I personally think he died from boredom.



So, instead of the static gaining xp...we lost it. Well, me and the drk lost it (drk died 3 times that night). Regardless, it was still a good time. We did go spawn the other NM also. I was in the killing mood anyway.



P.S. Umm, sorry for being bored and taking up your comment space with pointless stuff! Have to stop being bored at work...

Firstly, I have pics of our last time out there:

Unstable Cluster



Our deathga



Hotupuku


Unstable Cluster is nasty nasty nasty. I'd suggest more melee the next time we do him, and two tanks (BOTH tanks have to make sure they allow the other tank to help, this did not happen the last time so the only tank taking damage went down pretty quickly).



That being said, if you can just prevent it's explosion, you should be golden. It will be a long fight but, meh, we've done them before.
