Some of you may have heard me complaining tonight regarding my skull hunt in Ifrit’s Cauldron.
Basically, we had a high-level WHM join us at some point, who made no attempt to find or help us. Our tank gave us notice that he had to leave shortly, due to a prior engagement. On our second to last battle, a skull dropped (these have a fairly decent drop rate, we just had a string of bad luck), all passed except for myself and another party member (we needed four skulls and this was our third drop), he lots, I lot and I have the higher lot. Thinking I won, I was pretty excited. Instead, asshat WHM decides to lot, win, say “hahaha†and disband.
Whatever, now to the real point of this thread. Needless to say I am very pissed off, as such, if any of you (anyone level 60+) have availability this weekend and can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
I was hoping for a run between 11:00-1:00 EST on Saturday. This shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm not sure what all is going on this weekend
i have 2 social engagments this weekend... so i'm not sure on when i'll be available, but if you guys are talkign about the wyrven skulls and need some extra help let me know, i've been out there for that drop before, so eh... worse i can say is no right ^^
I'll help
I'll be there.
Also, I hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread or anything, but I promoted it to the top page and put it on the calendar and was wondering if, while we were there, we could also kill the NM needed for ZM5?
For those who don't know, I have beaten all of the ZM5 mobs including this one, but for some reason I never got the crystal here (I selected the stone, and got the text saying I obtained the crystal, but I'm guessing I was cured during it and it cancelled the event because the damned thing isn't in my key items).
What I'd love to see happen is, we head out there, get Cyc his skull, and then (provided we haven't already sunk hours and hours into this and everyone is too tired) we go and kill the blasted NM.

I was hoping for that...
I didn't want to assume I would get a response, as most people hate going to this place. I do, but at the same time, do not understand why. With a decent group, the mobs here aren't all that difficult. I use Fire Carol to be safe but I find that to be a waste of a song. It’s really not that big a deal…
Getting back to the topic, I was hoping we would be able to do both during the same visit and should plan as such. The skull drop is a 30 minute thing at most (assuming we have a /thf).
Very, very off topic, but I read your blog Maior. The NM we fought on the manaclipper is a brother to another NM, one which has a 3.2M drop. Only one has sold on the Jeuno AH - hmm...
3.2M drop
Yeah, I know :-)
I was hoping we could go back and try it again.
From my research, we had the firepower, we just needed to time our weaponskills better.

Agreed on WS timing
And I also didn’t notice the “massive†regen rate when the mob comes out of its shell – partly because of all the poison that it spams.
We should also consider hunting Devil Mantas which are a 1/6 spawn (fished monster in either Cape Terr. or Kuftal Tunnel).
Seal farming – {Can I have it?}
