Ladies and Gentlemen,

It time for me to make another attempt to get my most coveted of Great Swords...

Unfortunatly it drops from some partictullarly nasty KSNMs, one of them being Double Dragonian.

Here are the details from FFXIclopedia:

wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Double_Dragonian

Common Strats are listed a that the bottom.

Here is some film that might be helpful.

Looks like they used:
PLD, WHM, BLM, RDM, DD, DD.

ES+Sleep2 BRD, Bash WARs face in, then rest up. Enfeeb BRD and gain hate, when it wakes up Bash his face in. I think for this to be successfull they needs to be ample cursnas and the BLM nuking his brains out when the time is right.

If there are some brave souls that want to help please let me know.

Post here ahead of time and we can set up some time to get it done this weekend.

I almost made a similar post, on behalf of you, Kalamity and Reenaa... but I pressed Escape while I was typing and lost the whole message... and haven't gotten around to redoing it.

Anyhow... Double Dragonian also drops Heart Snatcher and Dissector, which the girls need.

I can come as THF or PLD and I have seals to offer up.

I know Reenaa can be WHM, RDM or DNC. I recommend her for your main healer. She'll keep people alive.

Kalamity can be PLD or RDM and will do either one efficiently.

I recommend doing YOYD for small items and splitting the sale of things like Dragon Heart, Damascene Cloth, Damascus Ingot... priority for the weapons would go to those who need them and can use them, regardless of whose orb they drop on.

I think pooling the items is a great idea and as well as giving the weapons that drop to those who need them (nothing would piss me off more than to have a heart snatcher rusting in my MH).

I have an orb ready to go and enough seals to make a second run if necessary.

sounds like we are 4/6 now and i can probably get Crim and Grif to come with us.

I would like to do this on friday, but i'm open to suggestions.

I can do Friday. I get home around 5:30-6 pst. I recommend talking to the girls, in game. I don't know how dilligently they check the board.

[oldgrif]

I can and will come. I have done Double Dragonian 16 times (yep) and we have won 4 times. As a result I have a heart snatcher and a dissector in my mog house ><. I cannot contribute anything except my willingness to help, BTW, I got my Destroyers on Royal Rumble and it cost me approx 210 KS to finally obtain it. Hang in there Karo.

[karoujite]

Alrighty,

It looks like we are a go for friday, lets gather in Sandy around 7pm EST, and we can run from there.

This the the roster so far.

Karou: DRK/NIN, Orb
Kalamity: PLD/WAR, Orb
Reena: WHM/BLM, Orb
Crimmy: BLM/WHM, Orb
Anouk: RDM/WHM, Orb
Oldgrif: MNK/NIN, No Orb

Typh can join us later as RDM if we need him.

Is there anyone else that need this, let me know. I wont be logging on again until friday night, so please post or email me.

i think we have good crew here and know we can come out winners.

FYI... Typh can't come as RDM. I only have PLD and THF to offer up, for KSNM.

[karoujite]

I knew something looked fishy when i wrote that.

Just an update, things went well.

We have a solid strategy here and it earned us a 4/6 record for the evening with some decent drops.

Ended up with 2 dissectors, 1 destroyers and 1 heart snatcher and a fair amount of gil.

My great big sword didnt fall, but its alright. I can now take comfort in the knowledge that we can almost beat this one as will now. So I will be back and i will get what i want!

K.

P.S. My overall record on this KSNM is 5/10, which is not too shabby. I think we raised some of the other LS members average too.

[oldgrif]

Yah my aveeage is 8/22 now, seriously was a solid effort. I learned something about this one too. I may reduce my death count.
