Bone Party {Can I have it?}Follow

No one even thought to invite me. ;_; I'm hurt.

I made a bone party once in the Citidel in the 50s.


I'm fairly sure your experience will be similar to that, and most of these things are obvious anyway but here goes.


1) Make sure the mage skeletons are dispelled. Paralyze is not fun.

2) If you don't have a blm to stun the ancient magic, the bard should cast lulluby. Even if the mob only falls asleep for a second it till stops casting.

3) If at all possiable, keep the mages out of range of blood saber. When a skeleton hits 6 people with it, and regains nearly all its health no one's happy about it.

4) Devine Seal + blinda is very important when you and your Monk friends don't have Chakra ready. I don't personally know if it's worth useing Chakra to just cure blindness, but I always did.

5) Skeletons don't link, but blood aggro is a very real thing. Keep your tank away from the cave entrance while fighting.




OK, so I know most of that is obvious already, but I'm bored and wanted to be helpful.

Good luck, Leet.

leet, hurry up and get to 72ish, then you'll be able to do a roaming bone party :-P

and SA -> RF -> DK, should do more than 2k damage, get the closer to sub thf and boost a few times, and watch for 1400 + 1800 light ^.^

This'll be Typo's first bones PT as MNK~ I'm used to BLM style, but I think this will be more fun. X3 6PM EST ish good! Even Mr. Yagudo can't wait!

I think dahl doesn't get home til 9pm est.

hey typo i pt'd with ur monk once in valley of sorrows. hell of a good exp grind.

Well, even though we only had 2 monks, I still had fun with it. I have a WHM that is wanting to go tomorrow if you're interested Typo.

Sotaka, would you be able to pt tomorrow? If not, I'll ask my LS BRD.

We're still looking for another Monk between 66 and 68 to join a bone party. With only 2, we were killing pretty quickly and had fun doing it. With 3, we'll destroy skeles with ease. If we can get chain 4 and handle links with only 2 monks, I would hate to see what 3 would bring.

I'll need a PLD and a MNK to fill in so if you're interested, please let me know.

Done. See if you can get a bit more exp as you're going to struggle connecting on some of them. We'll just put you as the guy doing Spinning Attack. :-b

WOohoo! 3 monks. Time for some {Skeleton}{Owner}{fun} Typo!

Any Paladins care to join us?

6-10PM EST. Provided everyone can make it. :-b

If we get going with the 3 monks, I think we can turn 17.5k pretty easily and I'll get to level for the first time in a LONG time. LoL /hurray.

You will be one busy taru though! And no griping. I'll just start throwing wizard cookies at you. LoL

LoL Yes tomorrow. Provided I hear back from Typo. :-b I have a WHM, Me, You, Bartman, and hopefully the midget boxer. We'll just need to pick up a PLD (Or even a NIN really) and head to Gustav. You'll be my pulling and madrigal slave for the evening. :-b

Sadly didnt do many bone parties in the 60s... I tried one at 65 and we agreed it was a bit low. The bones should be VT for you to get the full rewards of long chains. If you are all 66-67, and if sotaka behaves, you should do just fine due to the innate monkly nature to thrive there ^^

My only real advice is to not even consider it without a bard. I tried a bone party without a bard and the dynamics totally changed. In 99% of parties you can sub a rdm and brd around, but in bone parties it has to be a bard (or both... later on when you roam rdm + brd in same party is ideal ^^).

So no bard = Go to bibiki bay ^^

Only other advice is to make sure everyone is well stocked on supplies and have 6+ hours available. Time really flies, but the whole thing comes crashing to a halt if you have to hunt for 2 hrs looking for mnk or brd replacement. The whole party tends to collapse if one of those jobs leave.

Leet I don't think you should put me as spinning attack..... I have unbelievable bad luck with AoE WS.

Like last time i used it was in Bibiky Bay and we were doing an SC with me using Spinning Attack.

WE all assumed the mobs were too far away for my AoE to even reach them, so we began.

I was at 100% TP and used the suddenly I read:

Bartman hits Catoblepas (our target) for 120 dmg.
Bartman hits Tragopan for 120 dmg.
Bartman hits catoblepas for 120 dmg.
Bartman hits Hobgoblin Martialartist for 120 dmg.

>,<;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

I still couldn't believe I hit mobs that were like 55 feet away from our camp.

So if you want lol ill still use it but just a warning lol. Don't blame me when 50 skellies and a scorp come ramming down our party.

Last I checked, Lullaby doesn't stop the AM if you wake it up before a certain point. However, I'm not 100% sure about this (I know it doesn't work on Dvoive)

Anyways, to silence it, after a pull I can toss an Etude on the WHM. Hopefully they have some enfeebling skill, else we be screwed.

Just as a heads up. I get off work at 5PM, have a chiropractor appt at 5:15, then have to pick up my car. I will be on ASAP.

Could someone please look for Kowalakiller about 10 til 6 if I'm not on. If he's on, grab him for PLD, if not, please find one and I'll be on ASAP. THanks :-b

EDIT: If you want to assemble the pt, it consists of:
Me, Dvldwg, Typo, Bartman, Sotaka, and a PLD. Thanks!
