Promyvion- CerberusAlliance and others here with CoPFollow

#1 Sep 24 2004 at 12:28 AM Rating: Decent
i got my CoP yesterday, and today went on my first promyvion expidition to holla crag. sadly i failed, thanks to some people ill leave un-named who left on their own for spire holla after the alliance got seperated, instead of returning to raise the other whm's. but in all, it was a good expirance that give me a good grasp of the promyvion areas.

im now looking to for people who would like to join an alliance to attempt promyvion-holla again. i am going to start forming a party around 7pm EST tomarrow evening.

promivian's are part of a CoP mission that mush be completed to gain enterance to the travanzia areas. mea, dem and holla must be cleards, and supposidly then pso xja at a lv40 cap(but im not exactly sure, as iv yet to meat anyone NA whos gotten that far). you just first install CoP, go to delkfutts tower and see the cut sceen, then another sceen in up jueno, another in the infermary, and another in the palace guard house in ru lude gardens.

for a little background, the area has a lv30 cap so you need 30 equips. we much go in balanced partys because the BCNM at the spire isnt fought in an alliance, a minimum of 12(which will likely not end in victory, but its possible), but preferably a full alliance of 18.
each party needs a whm, a rdm or blm(elemental magic usually does nearly no dmg in emptyness), a tank, and at least 2 melee who have ranged weapons. the memory reminents(refered to from here on as orbs) are like a boss for each floor, they do alot of dmg and are best fought wih ranged weapons while melee kills the strays NM's that spawn during the battle. uppon defeating an orb a telepoint appears, warping you to the next "floor".

if you can use a ranged, bring a ranged and alot of arrows. if subbing rng is useful(sam, thf, ect) then do so. bring your food and mages your drinks, this isnt exactly easy. and if you can afford it, buy equipment pieces with the "empty killer" trait, they help dmg alot in emptyness.
there are 4 "floors", then a BCNM at the spire you must fight in a single party(which is why PT's must be balanced). the mobs on the final floor are all IT and require a full alliance to pass through safely. only 12 means dodging everything but the weakest mobs on this floor.


i will be on tomarrow as soon as i get home from work. im Atrox -42 SAM/WAR, if anyone wants to join this expidition send me a tell, or post here.

I too, ended today in failure. I will most certainly join your alliance to do this mission! I will bring my SMN, cause even though my BLM is 30 it probably won't do as much good. And my WHM is 25, so it can Sneak/invis/de-odorize, raise...but it can't Protectra II yet and its gimped by 5 levels in a level 30 cap. I can go SMN/WHM and just be full on healer with Aerial Armor for whoever PT I am in.

I wanna go! Sadly, All I have to bring is a level 30 WAR. But, send me a tell if you need some extra members.

well ill be forming the alliance in about an hour. a smn will be very helpful in the BCNM end battle at the spire(astral flow makes it alot easier), as well as in the actualy emptyness.

a 30 war is also fine, raw power isnt really what you need in here, but rather balanced partys and multiple ranged attackers in each party. if your have CoP installed, your war is more then welcome, just make sure you bring a bow and at least 2 or 3 stacks or arrows. depending on the jobs of the people we find, we may need another ranged for the memory reminant orb.(i brought one stack last time, and ran out about 2/3 the way through. im bringing a stack of quivers and my rng sub this time)

the alliance was defeated, due to being unprepared. promyvion mea seemed considerably tougher then holla was, plus we were hit with terrible luck and killed more false orbs then we could have ever immagined. and we had to go back a floor cause everyone didnt make it through the portal 2 times. this bad luck lead to us running out of arrows, and then being killed by link mobs on our way to try and kill another orb with my 16 arrows being all we had left. although we had a raiser alive, we decided to call it quits cause we had been there 4+ hours, and were out of arrows.

in retrospect:
bring a mininum of 5 stacks of arrows if you are a ranged attacker. i passed up a stack of quivers because the price jumped an outragions 10k in 5 sales to 45k, but i now regret it.
and bring HP regening drinks, and potions. you will need them.
and rushing to hurry and get to the portal, will only end in importand members dieing, and you having to go back a floor for them. this is not fun, plan a stratigy out.

im going to try again tomarrow, probally at mea again. we just had the worst of luck with the false orbs tonight, yesterday in holla we had far less false ones.
hopefully the two above posters will be on then. people from cerberus alliance, and the jobs we needed to make the partys stand-alone, filled the spots very fast tonite.
