Hola people. I have been wanting to the rank 5 missions for quite a while. I wanna get to Zilart so bad!! >< So, for mission 5-1, we need atleast 2 MNKs, a healer, a tank, and any other jobs. For 5-2, we need a high level tank (like a 75 PLD and/or NIN) and anyone else that wants to go. ^^

So if you want to go, send me a /tell or post here! Gracias! =P

EDIT= Crap, the title got messed up my bad >< Its: Anyone want to help / need the rank 5 missions? (5-1 & 5-2) ^^

Any job with stoneskin can tank the skeletons, actually. A RDM with Diaga, NIN sub, and chainspell can tank them just fine.

No offense Alauce, but thats why I had to hold back to let the PLD tank the Archlich last time. With the right buffs yes they could, but when the Monk unloads on the Archlich, well, it ends to fast to build hate the traditional ways.

definitely count me in. i gathered a party for 5-1 yesterday(which took about 1.5 hrs) then we traveled to feiyin( another 45 mins) THEN we get there and one of the members forget to flag quest. so we decide to wait for him, and about 1 hour later he gets back. were all ready, and about to kill the NM and the server crashes. everyone dcs and cant log back in.

<---very pissed

I was actually talking about the skeleton minions Archlich calls out to defend him during the fight. My suggestion was a RDM using stoneskin and phalanx then getting hate from the minions with a simple diaga and melee.

I realize that with a MNK unloading onto Archlich is sure to end the fight quickly, however I also realize that even with Hundred Fists, the battle is not over outright. The minions can still do considerable damage.

If a job with stoneskin were to stand off in a corner and draw aggro from the skeleton warriors and mages that rush into the arena to aid Archlich, the damage would be considerably less in the time it takes to topple our dear skeleton.

It's just my simple opinion on how to do things, but to date, it's a strategy that hasn't failed me yet. It's how I did it on my 5-1 mission, and I was able to successfully tank said minions long enough to let the others kill Archlich - without the aid of a MNK.

Just a differing strategy, is all. *shrug*

On a related note, if you need a 75 RDM to help with 5-2, don't hesitate to send me a tell. The Shadowlord fight is one of my favourite BCs of all time.

Very good point, thats why in my experience(4/5 on this fight) its best to just eliminate the arch lich and not worry about the minions. The one time that I did get waxed on this fight, the the one person tried to kite the minions and the PLD tried to get hate off of me after zerk, focus, hundred fists, a way to early chakra and a very low boosted chi blast, thus wasting all his MP.

Would I suggest doing this with people that know how the fight works? Yes, but only if you're going to listen to them. If you want to beat the record, throw a bunch of Monks at it(with healing support of course.)

Oh and Alauce, I may just have to take you up on that offer for the Shadow Lord sometime this week/weekend. We've tried twice got waxed twice and had some fall throughs on setting up a third, but we are deffinatly prepared^^

I would also like to complete 5-1. I don't think my levels will allow me to do 5-2 yet, but I would still like to complete the Fei'Yin romp!!

Let me know when your going for this.

Looks like my schedule doesn't mesh with a lot of others. I'll pass and see if I can catch a pickup group another time.

The idea of doing Missions is nice. However, i'd just tought I could say a few things on what you "need" for those battles.

There is a difference between what you "need" and what can make the fight go easier.

Any lvl50 balanced party can make the 5-1 fight. ( I did my 5-1 with a very unbalanced party but still somehow managed to win). Monk are nice, they really help make the fight short as possible ( which is a nessecity when you have 7 skeletons on you). However, according's to Andykiller's sig, since there is going to be a bard, those 7 minions will be sleeping ( Foe/Horde Lullaby is based on Light as opposed to sleep/sleepga based on dark), the urgency of finishing the fight ASAP is no longer there. this was just a random small rant in order to avoid any job being left out simply because they don't fit the "best set up that everyone wants".

As for 5-2, same little rant here. You don't need a lvl75 Pld or Nin. I tanked him at 56 everything just went fine. We didn't have anything higher than lvl65 into this. Any balanced party of lvl55 can do this. Having a lvl70+ is nice, but not a nessicity.

On to that, 5-2 is cool fight and i'd like to do it again. If you can't find a tank forthe fight, send me a /t i'll see what I can do.

*edit* You forgot Warrior as a tanking class. You should change that before any prideful warrior see that >.>

all you really need for the Archlich is melee to pwn the Main guy, and a bard to play Rodeo Round Up on the adds. atleast that's what i did.
