I (and another BLM) cast sleep on one but that doesn't work b/c since guy touched the ??? everyone wasn't attacking the same one... about a second before the first one dies AOE takes me from full life to dead along with 11 of my party members. The remaining killed it off and got their ore. AND LEAVE with only 2 people alive. They kill a ghoul so they can raise the rest of us and a bogy aggros.. everyone dead... Thank goodness the2 that had been alive stayed. with about 10 min left before we were sent to the home point we were all raised and we got our stuff and got out of there... wow what a time... Thanks Crayola and Compmike.. </div> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 38 WIDTH="630"><div> 2 Replies</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="627" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT= 63 WIDTH="621"><bR> <div> <U>RE: Fun Fun</U><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Posted @ Fri, Jul 9th 1:59 PM 2004</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 1379 WIDTH="7"><div> By: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>CrayolaInBastok</U></FONT></div> <div> <B>Sage</B></div> <div> 17 posts</div> <div> Score: Excellent [5.00]</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="613"><div> (This is Crayola: Shiva 36WHM/18RDM) </div> <bR> <div> Alliance of 17-18 back and forth, people dropping, coming back etc. I casted Reraise on myself, and headed in for oinment (Reraise stayed despite my being capped at 20). Compmike did alot of the work, he kept his 29WAR on and didn't get capped so he could whack and smack all the goodies on the way to the ???. Got there and I guess someone didn't hear us the first 19 times explaining what exactly we were gonna do, because before we knew it there was a blood bath and lots of disappointments. </div> <bR> <div> Needless to say I died too. I ran out of MP and had no level 20 weapon on me. I stared that Bogy long good and hard before he took me done. I don't even remember the order of what happened next, but I reraised while some other people were trying to knock it down. I sat in the corner and tried to unweaken as fast as I could. I ended up going back to get the ointment reapplied, and went to go touch the ??? (WE HAD WON THE BATTLE!) Speaking of which, if you zone and touch the ??? you're asking for the date of your funeral. Anyways, I got the key item and was looking around at all the black names and figured I need to help. So I ended up dying (no reraise this time) and blood warped to my HP which was in Windhurst. I tele-dem'd and was ready to save the day. Meanwhile Compmike had some friends come and help. High levels of fighters and a raiser. I went back, skipped the ointment since I got my item, and raised a bunch of people. The rest is history for 2 reasons. We had won, and my system had crashed afterwards. </div> <bR> <div> TIP#1) It mentions this alot, but I'll say it again. Get a BLM to cast sleep on one of the jellie and make sure NO ONE is attacking the one that gets sleep casted on it. Kinda destroys the purpose. </div> <bR> <div> Our BLM casted sleep but the majority of people were on both the Jellies and it was just chaos from there on. </div> <bR> <div> TIP#2) Technically speaking you shouldn't need a high level to come in and smack down all the stuff. The quest WAS designed for 18 Level 20 and unders to get together and do it together. But for sure it's always a bonus and great help to get help :P </div> <bR> <div> We got help. Compmike you rule! </div> <bR> <div> TIP#3) Explain the plan very very carefully. I remember thinking to myself, am I chatting in the same /party as some of these people. Make sure everyone knows the plan. People aggro the wrong things, die from stupid deaths, and kill 17 people too by not following the plan. Decide whose gonna be the one that presses the ??? first. Who sleeps the jelly, when to do this, that etc. You guys know the drill :P </div> <bR> <div> TIP#4) Have fun. If a lot of you get all upset about dying, delevel even, don't take it out on your party or leave the party and swearing never to do the quest again. </div> <bR> <div> It took me 2 parties (one guided, one not) to get through this quest. It's a very hard quest to even start up and can range from 10 minutes to gathering everyone to 3 hours of pure organization. By then, everyones just aggrovated. I can't stress it enough to have fun. This quest expects you to die. It's a test to find new people to talk to, you can easily even make 17 new friends. It's a test of seeing what works and what doesn't. Think about it, why ELSE would your reward be an item that can give you experience points??! :P I lost over 1000+ e/p doing this quest. And I ended up with 636 exactly from my Dragon Chronicles. Go figure :P </div> <bR> <div> I know this is a long post, but I guarantee you, you're own person stories will either match up to this, or be a hundred more lines. </div> <bR> <div> Good luck! </div> <bR> <div> Safe journeys and happy travels! </div> <div> Crayola 36WHM/18RDM </div> <div> Bastok born and raised </div> <div> Shiva </div> <bR> <div> P.S.
