LIST of "NEW" ENM'S

Submitted by dragonlance on Sat, 03/11/2006 - 15:01.

Monarch Linn: ( all require the same "Key item" so you can only do 1)
Bad Seed ( 6ppl )
Fire in the Sky ( 3 ppl)
Beloved of the Atlantes ( 6 ppl)
Bugard in the Clouds ( 3 ppl)

The Shrouded Maw ( Key item )
Test Your Mite ( 6 ppl)

Note: the only reason these are new is because we ( as an LS havn't done them. The only one i know that was done was "Fire in the Sky", Which can be owned by 3 smn.

Pull It All Together

Submitted by Tamara on Sat, 03/11/2006 - 05:40.

I have to go out of state for a few days but the request I heard was for me to try to pull this together next week. I got some good input, I'll do some research (Cyclonus' thread) and begin a new topic =^_^=

Um.....ENM

Submitted by dragonlance on Fri, 03/10/2006 - 18:06.

Um....sign me up granted that the time is not retarded late for EST people. I am pretty sure me and mai are in the same boat come time wise. (good ppl to do enm's with....yes please)

I would like to point out you said ENM static. Do you mean exp only? Cause i know there are other great enm's out there that give you 2.5k exp vs. 3k exp but the consistantsy of drops that are "valuable" is much higher. Like every enm they require a balanced and prepared team that doesn't suck.

I only ask this cause I know we default to promy's for enm's cause we "know" them. (we have done them more than any other enm)

Is there any chance that maybe we kick it up a notch and start doing enm's that are good for items just as well as exp.

NOTE: ENM's require COP (chapters depending) and non-sucky ppl.

Hm...

Submitted by cyclonus on Fri, 03/10/2006 - 18:53.

Let's start up a group that would willing to do the "new" ENMs on a "regular basis," with the goal being item drops.

I'll be on this weekend if anyone is interested in joining/starting this up (we can discuss in game). Hell, we do so many other events to get people various items and gear - this could be an addition to that with an XP reward to those that help...

One more thing: {Leech} {No thanks.}

New?

Submitted by Tamara on Fri, 03/10/2006 - 19:49.

How about listing those ENMs that classify as 'new', please.

Also we were trying to get a Promy ENM group going on a 'regular' basis and 'regular' is a problem. I am pretty flexible but others have all sorts of evenings blocked out.

And I don't know what you mean by 'leech' if the goal is item drops. Do you mean a level 40 character showing up for a level 50 ENM? If that is the case it seems you have some idea of a job range in mind. So if you are talking a variety of ENM's (a pool to choose from) on a regular basis it sounds like you are talking about a group who will show up on time and who has progressed to a certain point in CoP - this seems to me to definitely imply a job range.

I will be out-of-town this weekend. Only CoP Job I have is WHM 53. I have equipment on mules for level 20 cap, level 30 cap, level 40 cap, level 50 cap.

ENMs and such

Submitted by cyclonus on Fri, 03/10/2006 - 21:02.

I really didnâ€™t want to discuss this on the site because this is just an IDEA â€“ nothing formal and I just wanted to solicit feedback (in game).

I will try to address your comment point-by-point.

1) With respect to â€œnewâ€ ENMs; I simply meant ENMs other than the promies. Dragonlance brings up a good point that items that drop in other ENMs may be beneficial to a variety of AM members. I just feel that we often help person X get item Y and this would essentially be the same thing, with the added bonus of experience points for those that help out.

I have proposed several ENMs on the site and have received, at best, a lukewarm response (possibly due the fact that only, what, 10 people really use the forums?). Which ENMs are eventually decided upon (if this even works) is a discussion that is better held in game and I would like include others I know will be committed to the events.

2) With respect to the leech comment, I am referring to item drops. I donâ€™t want to create a situation where someone is simply part of this group until he/she receives a drop or drops he/she desires and then leavesâ€¦

More often than not, people will say they are â€œhelpingâ€ in an event in which they are really participating. Helping is doing something because you want to and not for some mutual benefit for you and the umâ€¦ â€œhelpee.â€

I feel doing other ENMs provides a benefit in that regard â€“ people can â€œhelpâ€ and participate at the same time. You get XP; others get drops.

3) Jobs used - I can careless about â€“ we can always adapt as needed. Yes, you need to be a certain point in CoP for many ENMs.

Simply put, I am looking for a group â€“ nothing formal â€“ that as Dragonlance indicated, would be willing to try different ENMs and give drops to people that need them. Again, this was just for discussion purposes.

FYI: â€œRegularâ€ to be discussed.

BTW: no, I donâ€™t need a drop from ENM 40 /smile

Sounds good!

Sounds good! Thanks for the clarification!

Fear of Leveling

Submitted by raprot on Tue, 03/07/2006 - 05:07.

It's not that I can't get parties. In fact, I haven't tried. Ever since July I just can't bring myself to, well, erm, join a party of random strangers and level. I mean, I've done it before, many times. I seriously don't know what's going on in my head. Nonetheless, I'm quickly getting pressured back into the game and will have to break sooner or later.

Meanwhile I wouldn't mind joining this ENM. I have (32 WAR) and (50 THF), but I'd really only be interested in taking THF with. I wouldn't be able to level up my dagger, but at least I may reach lvl 51 and be able to get Genkai 2 finally.

I'm available M from 8:30p on. T/Th from 7:30p MST on. W from 9:30p on. Fridays are my drinking/social nights, but since I wake-up Saturday mornings at 6am for cycling practice, maybe I shouldn't. Weekend afternoons work really well for me. Both Saturday (after cycling) and Sunday (after running) past 11am MST.

West Coast Cap 30 ENM

Submitted by Tamara on Tue, 03/07/2006 - 07:56.

So I talked to Meretrix the Thief Mithra and we two are going to go ahead and form a West Coast ENM Crag Party for those who don't seem to get on early. We also chatted about all those gory host/hostess details.

Seems folks don't like to farm Anima (I personally don't mind it) = okay, so no guests since farming is so unpopular. This means we just shrug when we get LS Chatter about being noticed inside of a Promyvion. No anima means no MEA run either (MEA ENM boss is not nice).

(I am going to be using 'you' in the generic sense below)

Some individuals like dual runs - this is a one run per week ENM. We do either Holla or Dem and any Vision Drop is Group Loot. The crag we run will be decided one week in advance (there is a reason for this). If you dislike suiting up for only 3,000 exp points this ENM is not for you.

Times: I think we will go with either of Meretrix's
Tuesday at 7PM Pacific Meet-in-Jeuno-Gardens or
Wednesday at 9PM Pacific Meet-in-Jeuno-Gardens or
Thursday at 7PM Pacific Meet-in-Jeuno-Gardens

Darkkit, you and I were just in a party and you logged only a bit ago so I know you should be able to make one of these times. You appear to be a late-night player (from an East Coast perspective). Up to you whether you want to join this; you did not give a lot of detail so you may have other intentions.

Meretrix and I need four others with CoP installed, who know how to appear on time for an appointment.

I know that individuals get tied up with life, or HNMLS, or other things but please be prompt since ENM works really well if members suit up in advance and show up on time - that means that if you don't show up or are late you automatically wasted five other folks' time. Which also means that after the 3rd occurrence in a couple of months your friends will likely have to vote on finding a replacement.

Holla runs require Poison Potion and since I am WHM so far we are lacking in 2HR Abilities which actually do some damage (nice to have if things go bad). However I will be SMN 30 in a month or two and SMN does have that nice Astral Flow.

Looking for victims, ummm, I mean West Coast Volunteers for a weekly West Coast Level 30 Cap Promyvion ENM which begins a bit late! For this to work you need to bring a job level 29, 30 or above. Jobs at level 40 are actually preferred because your fighting skills will probably be maxed at level 30 cap.

So there you have it, and this point I would like to thank a whole bunch of folks like Maior and Thersites and I-don't-know-how-many-other-Clan-Folks for working so hard to get individuals through CoP Quest-this and Mission-that to where we actually have several people every week talking about ENM's on the linkshell.

Darkkit if you want me to move this to its own thread I can do that too.

hmmm

Submitted by Darkkit on Tue, 03/07/2006 - 16:46.

Really I am just looking for some people to do things with and I know that ENM bashing is always fun. Times are totally up to the majority of people that are interested in doing this. I am free whenever and yes I am the late night player in the LS. normally I play untill I pass out because I have a hard time falling asleep at night. so I want to do this as an on-going thing and we can bring whatever jobs we can muster together. I was personally thinking of bringing BST as soon as I can get it to lvl 30. but I have MANY jobs above lvl 30 so I can actually fill out any place in the party. so lets say we need a DD one night I have drg sam drk war above 30. If we need a mage type I have smn rdm whm blm above 30. I am a team player and will be willing to fill out the party in anyway I can.

Sounds Good!

Submitted by Tamara on Wed, 03/08/2006 - 23:44.

Okay, so we have three so far:
Tamara
Meretrix
Darkkit

Times are once-a-week one Promy Run (no Anima):
I think we will go with either of Meretrix's
Tuesday at 7PM Pacific Meet-in-Jeuno-Gardens or
Wednesday at 9PM Pacific Meet-in-Jeuno-Gardens or
Thursday at 7PM Pacific Meet-in-Jeuno-Gardens

don't forget

Submitted by Darkkit on Thu, 03/09/2006 - 00:11.

Don't forget Cyc he wants in too. so all we really need is a tank and a healer.
I am soo looking forward to this :-)

the Problem

Submitted by Tamara on Thu, 03/09/2006 - 19:21.

The Problem is that Meretrix lives in the West and Cyclonus lives in the East, Meretrix is an evening person and Cyclonus has usually left the game by 11PM Eastern.

Now if we were all Japanese and living on an island in one time zone - scheduling would be a breeze! =^_^=

Sorry

Submitted by cyclonus on Thu, 03/09/2006 - 01:51.

I won't be able to attend weekday runs that are that late. However, late night Saturday runs would work for me.

And if I can't attend your runs - good luck!!!

Adaptable

Submitted by Tamara on Thu, 03/09/2006 - 19:24.

Okay. I am going to post I am willing to join a late-night Saturday ENM Run and we vote to cancel (a few days in advance) if there is something like a Clan Garrison Scheduled.

So Cyclonus is saying he is 'in' for such (if I read his post correctly) and now so is Tamara. That leaves Meretrix and Darkkit to say something about this proposal.

One Crag ENM Run, no Guests, no Farming, we go in fairly late on every Saturday for either Dem or Holla, we do our run and we get out.

ok

Submitted by Darkkit on Fri, 03/10/2006 - 21:05.

ok sounds good to me I am up to getting a pool of ENM's together and each week vote on which ones we would like to do that night. but I think we need to start a new thread on this and have everyone give jobs lvls and when they can do this (it sounds like sat night is a good time[works for me]) so if Tam would like to post a new thread we all can post on that would be great :-)

Actually....

Submitted by Tamara on Fri, 03/10/2006 - 23:15.

To be honest I too thought this thread was beginning to wander and actually logged onto FFXI much earlier today than I had planned to just to see if you were online, so we could chat.

In any event time has run out for me, for this week, I have Kaliv's Event then I have to be gone for several days. When I return Arbelast has done such an awesome job of helping folks I think we have 5, 6, 7 Carbuncle Mitts NM Pops on Monday - so immediately busy in FFXI again.

Maybe we can discuss this Tuesday Night? I think Meretrix and I are more interested in some amount of experience, I think Dragonlance and Cyclonus are more interested in new ENM's and some drops?

If someone wants to proceed with talking this over during the weekend, sounds good.

ENM

Submitted by cyclonus on Fri, 03/10/2006 - 23:39.

I am still interested in doing the promy ENMs for the sake of XP - however, *I* do not want to be the burden on the group.

Last I spoke with Trix, there still one member missing and I suggested that this last be filled before we worry about trying to accommodate me. I also told Trix that if it is easier to "replace" me, go for it.

I would like to join

Submitted by cyclonus on Tue, 03/07/2006 - 04:17.

I am available on Tuesday night only.

Jobs: BLM, WHM, BRD, WAR, DRK. I would eventually like to bring BST, if possible and assuming you let me join.

cool

Submitted by Darkkit on Tue, 03/07/2006 - 16:47.

That sounds good and BST is fine with me. I have heard that BST rules in a promy. Also as soon as I get BST to lvl 30 I would like to go play in there too

BST in Promy

Submitted by sam on Tue, 03/07/2006 - 17:11.

Every job does well in Promy, and BST is no exception. A good BST can deal significant damage to the ENM and spire bosses.

The thing that's really funny is, long ago BSTs were ostrisized in Promy. You could even find nasty posts that said stuff like "Beastmaster: Blacklist all of these and tell them to go play offline RPGs" about BSTs in Promies.

Glad that we live in more enlightened times :-)

EDIT:

*** THIS COMMENT IS SUPERFLUOUS (much longer version above) ***

I would be interested in joining an ENM Static for one-run-per-week if it were late enough at night to help the THF Meretrix out (who is having trouble leveling).
