Interested in Limbus?

[oldgrif]

Limbus is a mysterious dimension that lies between Vana'diel, Promyvion, and Lumoria. It is accessible from the celestial realm of Al'Taieu. Similar to Dynamis, these areas are intended as a challenge for advanced players at the highest levels. Items can be obtained here that can be redeemed for upgraded Artifact Armor and Rare/Ex equipment.

Limbus is comprised of two zones: Temenos and Apollyon. Each zone has separate areas leading to a "central" area, eventually leading to a boss fight with a prototype biotechnological weapon. Items obtained from these bosses can be redeemed for pieces of two high-level sets of armor from the Near East.

How to Enter Limbus

To enter Limbus areas, you must currently be on Chapter 8 of Chains of Promathia. This is needed in order to access Al'Taieu, from which Limbus may be entered.

Oo Oo Oo that sounds interesting! and I have access to Al'Taieu! Oo that makes me excited!! Sounds like something that I would be interested in. I've (obviously) never done it before, so someone is gonna have to teach/explain to me what goes on etc etc. (I should mention I am usually the biggest level 75 noob around XD)

Having done Dynamis forever, and now several Limbus runs, I can say, Limbus rocks. Short runs usually < 1 hour, sometimes 1.5 hours. And if we decide to do this we split all coins every run. It does cost 30K to buy a can of cleanse to enter. That may deter some people. I have done all of Temenos, including the boss fight, and have almost complated all of Apollyon. I might be ready to take us through a run or two to get our feet wet.

Couple of quick questions; is there a lvl limit on limbus ( Best jobs for success, etc) xp loss for deaths and finally, party (alliance) limits can it be done successfully with 12 members instead of 18?

[oldgrif]

Not sure is there is a level cap, however, for all practical purposes you should have all 75's. I am sure a few 70-74 could participate w/o hurting the chances for success. I have done Limbus runs when we only had 10 people. Some are extremely hard with only 12, We did Temenos boss fight with 14 if I remember correctly. If you die in Limbus, as with Dynamis and Assault you do lose EXP. Depending on what is occurring, you may receive only an R1. It is expected that all members running Limbus will bring a ReRaise item with them.

Best jobs, hmmm. If we were going to do a run w/ 12 people, I'd need 2 BRD or RDM, 2 WHM, 2 TNK, and 6 DD's with a couple of BLM's for Sleepga if problems arise.

I hope this answered your questions.Gilda may be able to add to the discussion, I know she has done many many runs.

[gilda]

Hahaha ..many runs ..i've deleted them all.

But yes you do lose xp if you die during limbus ..ive done many runs with my BLM ..and ive never used a full RR pin ..but you kill mobs so you kinda get your xp back. But the deaths are rare compare to dynamis. No lvl cap in limbus. You pay your own way in so becuz of that you don't have ppl going afk for the battle like you do in dynamis. One person is lots all the coins and devides them at the end of the run. Before you enter a person takes notes of what ppl want to lot on. Ive never seen the BS arguments on Limbus runs that you get in dynamis. All the runs i was on were positive. But i haven't done any in a long time. When i went the soap was 50k now it 30k. I wonder if i can get a refund off the 1 in my key items.
