Clan Promyvion Event Oct 28 - Oct 30 | Clan of the Angry Monkey (FFXI)

Maior is running Promyvion Mea

Submitted by Tamara on Wed, 10/26/2005 - 05:33.

If you look at the comments you will see that Maior is heading up a Promyvion Mea run (ENM and Mission) this weekend.

Malkier needs Mea Mission so Malkier is in Maior's team for ENM as Maior's WHM. I am coming along for the Spire Run and I will be heading up the ENM 'overflow team'. So if Maior's team fills up you can join my group.

There is no guarantee of participating in an ENM if you find yourself in the overflow team. Sorry. I will only be doing Mea ENM if our overflow team has at least five folks, no I am not going in against the Mea ENM with only four. The overflow team's Primary purpose is to get individuals to the Mea Spire who still need the Spire Boss Mission.

Spire Boss Mission Fight Team will be constructed in the Spire Hallway (probably before the ENM fights begin, so ENM folks will know if they can use their 2hr against the ENMob).

Looks like Maior is doing a Saturday Run so see you fine Clan Folks on Saturday Evening in Jeuno gardens near Venessa! We have two WHM's so I would hope we can keep everyone alive. From Jeuno gardens I will teleport folks to the Crag, warp back, teleport another group.

Read Maior's Pages on ENM and Spire Boss Fights. You will need Potions, you will need Anima. This Spire Boss does not steal effects so everyone uses food. Folks always use 2hrs against the Spire Boss Mission Fight so do not squander those abilities in your ENM fight. And the Mea ENM and Boss use Carousel - you will need hi-potions, no way around it. Last Mea fight I was in Carousel went off three times. It hurt.

Malkier - you will need to purchase a Re-Raise Earring for Maior's Team. All buffs are stripped (except food) as you enter the ENM, so you will need that earring to cast Re-Raise inside.

No, you can't bum mine! I've become attached to it! LOL! =^_^=

Remember folks, we are trying to get through the Promyvions so Raytien can one day take the Clan to see the cute little Minotaur! I hear he has a stall in the Tavnazian Petting Zoo =~_^=

Enough votes to start

I think we have enough votes to start a sticky event thread, so I'll do it.

Please continue to vote what you want in this thread though, as I will update the sticky as needed.

Who in their right mind would do Dem for this? Dem is sooo easy you can just get a stranger pickup party for it and expect to win^^

- FOR Mea
- AGAINST Dem
- FOR Saturday morning (I know, I'll never win)
- AGAINST Sunday

I almost said Mea and Holla, but we just had a dem event three weeks agao, and holla is so hard to navigate that i think people should get more practice on climbing the towers before they try holla. just my 2 cents.

Thersites Vote:

Holla or Mea
Not Dem
Friday night
Not Sat or Sun

Any crag but Dem is ok with Thersites. Some of us (including Tamara) made a prior commitment to fight ENM Dem on Tuesday night. Since the censor is only good for one fight every 5 days, I can not fight Dem ENM again this weekend. Also Friday night is the only time I am sure I can play this weekend.

This is true, but...

Submitted by Tamara on Tue, 10/25/2005 - 02:12.

...but I just verified not one person of the group who said they were going to fight Tuesday ENM needs a single Promyvion Boss. Not any of them. Which also means 2hrs are available against the Tuesday ENMob, which means we can be flexible.

I know of no ENMob which can survive six 2 hour abilities.

Anyhow that Tuesday party is already formed and does not need to be discussed - we are talking here about a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday Clan Event for everyone who shows up. So ballot which crag you need, post which day you can come, vote down those crags you have, vote down those days you are not available. I will attempt to sort the mess out.

But this much of what Thersites says is applicable - come Wednesday I should be able to post which one Promyvion Crag we will NOT be doing this weekend.

And I fully agree with Maior - this coming run we are going to try to get some of you fine folk another Promyvion Win under your belts! So we can eventually move on to having stuffed Tavnazian Minotaur with Faerie Apples for dinner! LOL!

Submitted by Malkier on Mon, 10/24/2005 - 21:23.

I Vote for Doing a Promy-Dem. This was I can get XP for my whm, which I haven't leveled in some time and I have the Mea Boss beaten so I just need Dem and Holla. I would recomend like 7PM, if not sooner, so that we can get to the Spire and beat the ENM and those who want to do the boss, like me, can stay and do the Boss fight. This would be best for me because I don't have to close, WHOOT!

Here is your ballot

I Need to change my vote. I did the Dem boss.
I vote in favor of Mea or Holla, I'm sorry for the mix up.
I Vote against Promy Dem.

Doh!

Submitted by sam on Mon, 10/24/2005 - 20:03.

You beat me to it :-)

I was going to post one today, but have been too busy with work and things to do it yet :-)

After you get the votes, would you like me to post a sticky one like the ones I've done in the past for this event? You know, the ones at the top of the page that have different background colors. I wouldn't mind doing it if you wanted me to.

Vote

Submitted by sam on Tue, 10/25/2005 - 13:30.

For Mea (all you really have to do is look at the last poll to see that most people need Mea :-)
Against Dem (Dem is easy. If we're gonna do one, we damned well better do one that can't be done easily with a random pickup party)
For Saturday night (if I am gonna lead it, it's gonna have to be Saturday night with farming session on Friday... I cannot do it Sunday night.. I have work the next morning. Also, if you look at our previous polls, you'll see that saturday night has already won out)
Against Sunday

FWIW, voting on these things wasn't 100% necessary. We've already had polls semi-recently on the subjects... and we just barely did Dem as a group a couple weeks back. So, really, the best option would be to do Mea next.

I still havent got dem. In ac

Submitted by bombastic on Tue, 10/25/2005 - 15:04.

I still havent got dem. In act, several people didn't go on the last event so alot of people donet have dem.

I know

Submitted by sam on Tue, 10/25/2005 - 15:13.

Yeah, I know several people didn't come for the last Dem event... and I know that several people wont come for this event. It's just a fact of life.

However, we can't just keep repeating the ones that many of us have already beaten time and time again simply because some people don't show up for the event. These Promyvion events are complex and most certainly not a walk in the park. If people aren't able or willing to come with us when we are doing them, then it's unfortunately their problem. I don't mean to be a hard-ass... but it's the truth (and I am a hard-ass... we all know this by now I'm sure :-)

That being said, in all seriousness, Dem is the easiest boss (moderately difficult to get to though, since the 4th floor is quite a bit more complex than say Mea). Anyone can honestly get a pickup party for Dem with no anima and have a reasonable chance to win it.

Also, don't think for a second we're done with Dem as a clan. I just think we should get the more difficult ones (Holla and Mea) out of the way for many of us since they are the ones that require the most preparation.

Last Dem was just an ENM

Submitted by Tamara on Tue, 10/25/2005 - 20:06.

Heavens! You have been busy recently! The last Clan Dem was just an ENM, Maior. It was NOT even a Spire Boss Mission Fight, nor was it intended to be. I should know, I organized it.

In any case you raise some good points - for those of you who NEED a Promyvion, Maior has provided this web site, the Clan is a large group (lots of folks on even last night, a Monday).

Post your own poll, start your own run, folks will show up to help you out. Where folks who have run a Promyvion do NOT show up is when you decide you want to try your Mission Boss Fight WITHOUT Anima because you are too lazy to farm for Recollections.

Farm your Anima, pick a night like a Friday or a Monday - I bet you would get enough for a full party and you can defeat the Crag which you were missing.

And be sure to include an ENM as a gift to those who have already beaten the Spire Mission Boss.

Heh, I wasn't talking about that one, you misread what I wrote. The last one I lead up was a Dem boss and ENM fight. I wasn't talking about your Dem ENM only run (which was very successful, BTW ;-) I was talking about this one which was Dem boss... and some people did ENM (remember, my group messed up on the ENM and I got angry? :-)

Chronology

Submitted by ravenclaw on Fri, 10/28/2005 - 20:03.

Chronology (because they blur together)

#1 Mea event - Result : Failure
#2 Dem Boss/ENM event - Result : Mostly Success
#3 Dem ENM event - Result : Success

Ya, I knew which Dem Mai was talking about to. I didn't find it confusing at all. I knew he was talking about the Dem Boss/ENM event (#2) and not the Dem ENM event (#3).
