Don't know if anyone is interested, but I'll be on this Saturday, Feb. 19th (around 8 pm. EST) trying to get the items for my Genkai 1. I've been stuck at lvl 50 with my PLD for 3 months (though I've made no rush to get the items... been levelling my SAM). I'll most likely have my friend's lvl 73 DRK helping me out. If anyone wants to tag along, send me a tell. The name's in the sig.

Our first trek with probably be through E. Ronfaure, through the glacier and into Eldieme Necropolis for the papyrus... which, as everyone knows is the hardest to get.

We'll probably try for the Exoray Mold next and the Ash last. I'm going to do some research on the areas to find these items (considering the only place I've been out of the three really is the Crawler's Nest).

Just let me know! Oh, and if anyone needs help getting a Magicked Skull, an advanced job, or something else a lvl 50 PLD can help them out with, don't be afraid to ask. Unless I'm in the middle of an exp party or currently doing a quest of my own, I'd be happy to help.

You should probably start with Bomb Ash in Garlaige Citadel first since that's the easiest drop of all, than Crawler's Nest for Exoray Mold considering whoever joins will probably meet in Jeuno. Save Papyrus for last because you never know if & when by that time ppl might be wanting to leave if they're not patient for it since it's the hardest drop of all 3. But that's just my 2 cents.

BTW, I'd be glad to help just send me a /tell. Job's in the sig below.

You're probably right... they'd be the easiest to get to. You have to trek quite aways to get to the Liches, and I forgot that not everyone has an airship pass. Thanks! I'll look you up when I'm on.

Personally I would start with the toughest first since sometimes not everyone that can help you will stay for every item. So I would like to suggest doing it in this order, Necropolis, Nest, Citadel.

1337s's guide to Genkai vol.1 :-b

{Run Away!}

Now if you make it past that let me try to add some help.

I've done this quest more times then I'd like to think already. I've been with at least 10-15 people to get their G1 items and I'm only 58. >< I generally start with the Exo Mold just because of accessibility. It's VERY easy to get up to the secret room area and kill Exo's. I can duo this relatively easily with whoever needs the item.

The bomb ash. Have BST will travel. :-b If you have a BST friend you are GOLDEN on this one. Sic bats on bomb, watch bomb explode, thank bomb for ash. If you do not have a BST, have someone with Stun. A 73DRK fits this nicely.

Oh Eldieme. How I hate you so. However, I have gotten 5 papy's in 3 hours before. (I've also only gotten 1 in 3 hours too but we won't go there /angry Carnage. :-b). EVERYONE says go through Beaucadine blah blah blah. F that. :-) I zone to Batallia, hang a left, and pass the bone wall to the south. Go through there, take all lefts, and find the avatar gates (Titan's, Shiva's, etc) Here you will find 2x Lich and 1x Fallen Soldier.

Kill these and run North (sort of back the way you came but pass up the hall way.) This will take you through a big room with Ka's and some ghosts I think. Just sneak through here and, whatever you do, don't step on the squares. :-b This will take you to another area just like where you were. Again, 2x Lich, 1x Fallen Soldier.

You can keep going back and forth like this and GREATLY reduce down time.

Now for the "Tip of the Week". LoL. Many will say this is BS blah blah blah, but it has yet to fail me. If you need more than one Papy, ZONE AFTER EACH DROP! :-b With all the patches SE put on they reduce your chances of drops the longer you've been in the zone. This is how I was able to get 5 in 3 hours. We have tried with not zoning and got REALLY frustrated fighting for hours with nothing but bone chips and bruised knuckles to show for it. The trip through Beaucadine is a waste of time IMO. You could have killed 6-8 Lichs by then and already have your Papy.

Well I hope some of this helps and best of luck on the hunt. I still have an LS member that desperately needs it so if you want another 50PLD let me know. I'm having trouble making time for all our LS members and myself. LoL. I'm pretty set on closing in on 60 this weekend too.

Thanks for all the tips, Leetfade! I think I partied with you once or twice a while back. ^^ I'll look into that area you mentioned for the Lichs.... I know the bone wall your talking about, with all the weapons around it. :) I'll have to inform my friend and see what he thinks.

Sadly, no one I know has BST (I'm going to be getting the job soon myself, one of the last two I need... the other being SMN... spent 3 hours trying to get Ruby and then gave up when a drg told me she just got it... after 6 kills ><). My friend can use Weapon Bash though... and I can use Shield, though the chances of it actually working are pretty small... I wish my samurai was 16 levels higher... Tachi:Hobaku would be perfect.

If your LS friend wants to come along, that's fine with me. Just have him send me a tell. I should be on by 8 pm EST.
