Before you guys do Rank 3

[Inquisitor]

Which will be a while, and you should be level 20 or 25, but, before you do it, lets plan it out, because we can make it so you guys do the same boss battle

So keep that in the back of your brains

I probably need to make a post about ranks, missions and quests, eh?

[BlackDove]

I think they should start-em at about lvl 25, but I assume the only way for them to do it together is if they both end up in San D'Oria.

[Inquisitor]

You can do em at 20, and yeah, they should end up in Sandy.

If we could get Judd to play more, he could end up there as well

[Stracius]

Need to do my rank 3 mish as I'm lvl 25 on my BLM. Maybe I'll level up one of my other jobs while I wait. Sounds like a good plan though.

[Inquisitor]

You're from Sandy right Strac?

Means we'll have to fight two of them

[Stracius]

d'oh. But yeah, I'm doing the Windhurst to Bastok mission. I don't know if Bastok fellows can do the same. Logically it wouldn't make sense.

Ah well.

[BlackDove]

Not a problem, we'll just do yours first, and then theirs when they come to it.

[Stracius]

I'm not terribly involved in any other projects at the moment. Let me know if you've got some time. Otherwise I'll keep my eyes open for a dragon group, or just continue dinkin' around with these other quests.

[BlackDove]

It would probably be beneficial if Ed could get someone from Seventh to help, alternatly, I could ask some of the people from my shell to pitch in.

[Inquisitor]

Can't tonight, IF I get home, gotta help BD, if not, well, I won;t be online at all (well, maybe at like 10 or 11).

Wed, Thursday, or the weekend. Fight itself only takes maybe 10 minutes, figure travel time, maybe an hour all told?

If Anny hurries up and gets to 25, we have almost enough to make a full, SSX party of it. I can either beg help for the last two slots or get soem random pickups.

Strategy is the same no matter what the dragon.

Spoiler, but otherwise it's party death:

It's a 25 cap fight, which means even if you are 65, your level becomes 25 for the fight. Plan appropriately for gear. The Burning Circles are each deep in the beastmen strongholds of the associated city, Boston is in the Palb. Mines, Windy is in Giddeus, Sandy is in Ghelsba.

Need BLM, everything else is optional. BLM elemental seal-->sleeps dragon and keeps it slept, everyone else takes out the "eye"

Rangers can 2 hour and 1 shot the eye, otherwise it's a short fight.

Then everyone shifts to dragon and plays like a regular party. SMN 2 hour can take out the dragon, usually, very certain with 2xSMN (and impressive to watch).

With our group, I see it as:

BD- SAM/WAR or something /war or WAR main
Anny- WAR/MNK (you two can bounce hate)
Strac- BLM
Me- SMN or WHM (I can also do BLM or RNG, but we can play that by ear).

Then it really is "whatever."

If Winbrian is around, maybe he could come as WHM or SMN.

It's a short fight, and it's part of hte main story, so the cutscenes are cool.

Hopefully I'll be primed to help out with these at some point soon - I'm having real troubles finding a party, and have no idea where to find these level spots in the guide.

[Anubis]

If Anny hurries up and gets to 25, we have almost enough to make a full, SSX party of it. I can either beg help for the last two slots or get soem random pickups.

Getting Monk to 15 and Warrior to 25 by Wednesday might be difficult

An SSX event would definately be nice though. Maybe not this time, but in a few weeks maybe I'll have reached Strac's level and we'll have a party we need to go on? Will be fun if we can sort something out.

[Inquisitor]

Gryph, you need the tour. Which will be difficult unless Aldayne or Anny wanna play tour guide. You need to find "Valkurm Dunes" which is a bit of a hike from Windy.
