• Friday (Farm for Garrison items) Sept. 30th @ 8pm Eastern (7PM Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific)
  
• Saturday (Actual Garrison) Oct. 1st @ 8pm Eastern (7PM Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific)
  

Where?

• Valkurm Dunes (maybe Buburimu Peninsula, depending on commitments)
• Pashhow Marshlands

Level cap? 30

What do you need?

• Sand'Orians need Galka Fang Sack (drops from 30-40 level gobs in Ordelles)
• Windurstians need Silver Engraving (drops from 30-40 level quads in Beadeaux)
• You do not need an item to participate, but we will need a minimum number of items (3) out of the whole group in order to start.

Because so many people have wanted another Garrison, we will attempt another one this week. However, this week, we will not allow any last minute Garrison item runs. If, at the alotted time, we do not have at least 3 Garrison items, we will not attempt the Garrison.



Because of this, the day before the Garrison, Friday September 30th, those who need Garrison items can meet to collect items. Thus, if you do not plan on collecting your Garrison items at another time before Garrison, you can come on Friday to collect them with others.



Then, the official Garrison will be on Saturday October 1st. As I said, if we do not have at least 3 Garrison items by this point, the Garrison will be cancelled. Sorry, don't mean to be a pill about this, but when we have an event that can take as long as this we really do have to start right away.

I will quote what I wrote for the previous Garrisons.


A Garrison is a level capped event where you defend an outpost from several waves of attacking hordes. Each wave has several normal enemies, and one boss-type enemy (who is stronger in some way than the normal enemies).



Fighting alongside of you in the Garrison are a number of NPCs. These NPCs must be kept alive. If the NPCs die, then the Garrison is over and you lose.



In between waves, you have a very short time to regroup. If you intend on resting (to get more MP, for example) then you will have to do it during the battle, or bring food to help you out.



There are two ways we can do these Garrisons: Kite or All-out-warfare.



Kite is where we have two or more parties (so an alliance of 12 or more). One party has a Ninja (or another tank with high evasion or defense) who is willing to take the boss from each wave and run around the field (dragging them like a 'kite') while the rest of the team kills the enemies.



All-out-warfare is really only possible if you have three full parties or 18 players in an alliance. If you have 18 people, then kiting is no longer necesary as you can just pummel the enemies to death quite efficiently.

Why not a Garrison 40?

We have had some interest expressed for a level 40 Garrison, however, due to a small poll I've conducted among a few people, not enough people have either level 40 jobs or level 40 armor available. Perhaps we can try one of these again in a few weeks.
