Mission 5-3: Three Paths Preperation!
This mission is by far the longest of all CoP missions post prommies. It contains two dungeons, an uncapped NM, and three BC style fights. To start off this mission:
**Head to the Metalworks and talk to Cid (H-8) to get started.
It doesn't matter what path you choose when you talk to Cid; we don't have to start that fork first as we can be working on more than one section at a time. It's advisable that everyone do the opening CS of all three paths during the week so that when we get together we can focus on the fights without using much group time running around for CS!
So here I will post all 3 paths steps in no fancy order..... Prepare for the spam!!! (yes you 'could' just read these at the guides website but meh)
Tenzen's Path

Ulmia's Path
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Promathia_Mission_5-3-2
Louverance Path
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Promathia_Mission_5-3-3
I think our best bet is for everyone to complete the CS's for all three mission paths throughout the week and on our next weekly event we should complete the Louverance Path first as a group. With everyone completing the pre-group cs's we can gather together and head to the Moblin BCNM, farm the keys needed (or solo through week if need be) and close this path off pretty fast.
From there we can tackle Tenzen's Path by running the maze gauntlet, killing the Disaster Idol and finsihing off both legs in the one meet. These 2 legs should take about 4 hours to complete (or much less if everyone is primed and ready to go hard and work together).
The following week we can spend some time farming cluster cores in Riverine or Halvung Staging Point and get us some salts (and save the gil for buying narnia 16 Thief Tools =P). According to somepage, the clusters are a 100% drop from the bomb clusters (confirmation anyone?) so we could always do this during the week like we did for the mistmelts quest or spend an hour on the meeting time before we started the final leg of the mission.
Either way tackling the two easier ones seems the best bet before we face off against the nasty Snoll! Any suggestions/ideas??

This sounds like a good order to do. Snoll Tzar has been every1's problem so better off giving us some time prepping for that fight... Clusters off of Mount Zhayolm can be duo'd by BLM easy. Although I never tried it solo, I might give it a try and see if it can be done, if so, awesome!
Hey Narnia, is Kyli still up to join us now or what's his plan? I know our DRG friend yesterday was willing to join us, if so, Kyli have tank job he can join us with in that character?
Kylidon has 2/3 paths complete he needs the snoll fight. I have already farmed up 8 cluster cores for that fight. I have fishing skill lvl'd and am planning to spend some time trying to fish up the stuff for the mithra fight. Kylidon has nin to 75 and has it meritted too. So I'll ask if he can do as nin.
Yeah Syano we could totally duo the clusters after the following weeks missions if you and the others want. Being so close to the Runic Portal will mae this very easy to do one night next week before we meet up.
:O exact same time post narnia! hehe
8!? all right!! Still it may be a good idea to grab some extra salts just in case we need a few tries as from all accounts this bitch sucks!
So darn excited!!!!!
Fished up 1 item for mithra fight. Going for 2 more.
I know it should be an easy fight anyway, but this will just make it a no loss situation.
GOGOGO Narnia! Kitty fishing power +1!!
Cutscene's are almost done... just have to Ulmia's path, all this travelling is taking way too long!!
anyway, about this weekend, are you guys available to do the mission on saturday instead? something came up on sunday that is unavoidable.... please post your thoughts
also (>,<), next weekend, feb4, i will be on a snowboarding trip... can we get that weekend off on CoP? I know narnia has been farming/fishing the hell out of the items for CoP and we're getting geared up... i can come both at blm,whm lvl60 now also, watever is needed... but i will be back monday/tuesday after that weekend
Im unable to make it Saturday due to work :( So if its unavoidable I guess that means we have another 2 weeks off?
(;.;) sorry guys, i've had this plans for a while now but just forgot about telling you guys sooner...
you guys can always go on without me >,<
It's fine. I don't mind. Stuff happens and truthfully this is all just a game. This will just give us more time to prepare for the future.
