Mission 3-5 'Darkness Named' preperation.

How is everone? Hope you are all well and truly into the pre-requisite missions for the Diabolos fight this Sunday afternoon.

While completing the missions, I suggest you follow either of these guides >>>
Erecia's Guide to All Things Chains of Promathia
http://www.promathia.runtimerepairs.com/

or FFxincylopaedia Chains of Promathia Missions
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Chains_of_Promathia_Missions

These guides are immensely useful and will get you through them w/out a problem. PLEASE be sure to have these missions done BEFORE Sunday and we cant stress this enough! All up from where we left off after 2-5 until the start of 3-5 should take you at least 5-6 hours of running around completeing all of the steps and cutscenes.

Now....................onto the mission we are undertaking this following Sunday.

As you know after our awesome success of 2-5 we are now able to take on Diabolos! All up this fight 'should' be much simpler if everyone has done thier preperation and READ THE SUGGESTED GUIDES WE HAVE LINKED :P

Before the actual capped fight (40) we must go and farm coloured chips and require 1 for each member of the party. I would suggest soloing this before hand, however the Diremites and other carrying mobs are all lvl 45+ and may prove difficult to solo for most members. However, if you have time or a helping hand then by all means please visit Pso'xja and obtain one before Sundays meeting time.

*Note: this section is directly sourced from http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Promathia_Mission_3-5*

Getting the Pso'Xja Pass
-Complete all missions and all steps upto 3-5.
-Go to Upper Jeuno and talk to Monberaux in the Infirmary.
-Go to Lower Jeuno and talk to Ghebi Damomohe at I-7.
-Go to one of the uncapped Pso'Xja towers to farm chips, as for the later Chips quest. For this mission, each player only needs one, it doesn't matter which color (Gray Chip, Carmine Chip, Cyan Chip).
-Head back to Jeuno and trade your chip to Ghebi Damomohe in exchange for 500 Gil and a Pso'Xja pass (key item).

Once everyone has a chip we will return to Jeuno for the key item and then gear up for the lvl. 40 cap in our proper jobs. From here on the mission walkthrough is highly detailed in the guides so please consult them until you know them off by heart.

Lastly: I think its a good idea that everyone post thier available jobs (above lvl 40) in the comments section of this post so that we know what we have to work with on the day for farming and the capped fight. See the comment link at the end of this post for my example.

On ThursdayI will post based on everyones comments what the party setup will be, time to meet and what supplies to bring etc after discussing with you all during the week. So please comment now so we can organise strategies and work out any problems well before Sunday so we can make the event as smooth as possible with as little wasted time as we can :D

... I've also got a couple of jobs near to 40, but there probably not that useful for this fight, especially considering i'm a Tarutaru. But anyway, here they are:

Warrior 37
Ninja 37
Bard 34

Yeah the ninja thing is an issue still. Ive asked around my ls, but big suprise, all of them have completed CoP looong ago. As long as we still have us original 5 of last weekend we should be fine. I am planning to log on 2 hrs early (11am est) and start finding our tank. Unless anyone knows of someone I guess thats the plan :D

And Shin, GOD YES! That mountain sucked!

OK from readin through all of the guides, strats and LS reccomendations, with our current members it is probably best to have the party as follows:

Astara: Samurai/Ninja (WS stun and shadows)

Narnia: Ranger/Ninja (long-ranged melee and out of sleepga range)

Syano: White Mage/ Blackmage (Long-ranged cures/buffs i.e. barsleepra, and will wake/raise melee if Nightmare does get off)

Shintaro: Either Monk/other melee or as a second Ranger to assist long-ranged attacks and again reducing workload of Syano in saving us from sleepa etc

Odjaru: Summoner/ Whitemage (Support cures to help when Diabolos uses TP for sleepga. nightmare etc and to DESTROY HIM with Astral Flow) :D

So with another ninja I think this could work really well. Anyone have any other suggestions?
