Mission 4-2 'The Savage' preperation.


Hello everyone of you,

I've taken a few minutes out of exam prep. to get everyone up-to-date with the steps we'll need to take before we are ready to fight the robust Dragon Ouryu....

Before we can start 4-2 you will need to....

Return to Tavnazian Safehold for a cutscene.
Talk to Despachiaire (K-10) on the top floor.
Talk to Justinius (J-6) on the top floor.
Head to Misareaux Coast and inspect the Dilapidated Gate at (I-11).
Tavnazian Safehold AH will now be linked to the Jeuno AH.
You will now be able to do the Lufaise Meadows supplies quest.

--------------------------------------
Mission Name: 4-2 - The Savage
Locations: Rivernse - Site #B01
Level Cap: 50
Estimated Time: 3-5 hours, depending on farming luck
Medicines Needed: Hi-potions for melee, Yagudo drinks for Smn and Blm
Special Items needed: 2 x Hippogryph Tailfeathers in Riverne for Mistmelts from the quest>>
http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=&fquest=665 and another Dragonscale from a Pyrodrake for the Unstable displacement (just one for whole party)
--------------------------------------

So without resorting to cut and paste I strongly suggest reading this guide as it covers much that we need to know >> http://www.promathia.runtimerepairs.com/Missions/4-2.html

So now that we're all wisened on what needs doing to whoop the fat dragons ass this is what needs to be done first:

1) Each member needs a mistmelt so that we can prevent Ouryu from straying into the sky out of reach. We each need to farm 2 Hippogryph Tailfeathers in Riverine for the quest linked above just in case we require multiple attempts. However, I am sure if we all prepare he will be very easy since the most of this fight involves>>> Sleep, Astaral Flow, Sleep, Eagly Eye Shot :P

2) This fight is a level 50 cap. So therefore everyone needs to be at this lvl and have a buffer as deaths are garunteed, or so it would seem, in all things Promathia :D

3) Suggested static job setup:

Astara + Odjaru: SMN (2 x astral flow)
Shintaro + Narnia: RNG (Eagle Eye Shot)
Syano: BLM (sleep spam ftw)
Daakpunk (or other paladin tank for Invincible): NIN or PLD

Other than that, we should be ready by next Sunday to take this mission on! I think Erecia's guide covers everything in detail, but if anyone has any questions please ask among the members!

P.S: dont forget Narnia has organised for a static meet at the usual time of 1pm EST for tailfeather collection and NM fly hunt so come along if you can!! The feathers must be farmed or bought in a bazaar as they are not sellable in the AH. Happy huntings, and see you all next sunday!!!!!

Success! 3-5 Darkness Named: Completed!

Fantastic, what a dream run! Absolutely flawless Transient Dreamers the lot of us!...if you forget about the inital dry run....whats that, what dry run you ask?-- exactly! *taps nose*
So after the inital, and apparantly now weekly standard curse of plans seemingly perfectly in place well before the scheduled meeting time only to have it fall apart, the ninja tank we had acquired *____insert own rude comment here___* decided for some reason why I was d/c that he would no longer be joining us. Nothing more needs to be said on that one *coughonrylvl33ninjacough* XD
However, thanks to some fast fingers and gallant bond makings Shintaro managed to secure us Daakpunk who was more than happy to assist the demise of the Dream maker, Diabolos himelf.
Putting it simply...we went in, kicked ass, went home, celebrated :D
As you can see in the screenshot above, our HP was near perfect at his death and we just scraped in mere seconds after the record! We are growing together as a force to be reckoned with as we power through these missions!! Good work team! See you all again soon!

Linkshell Notice: Next weeks meeting time will not be used for mission progression as myself will be absent due to final exams at University, Odjaru requires a week off, and Others need to raise job levels to the new level 50 cap for the missions of chapter 4. However, I believe Narnia had an idea to organise an Aqueducts subligar run in the scheduled timeslot instead. I will be contact with each of you throughtout the week to determine your needs and availability before we progress further. Have a great week ya'll and keep checking /lsmes and this site for news!
