Azure Ailments {table} Client|Summary |__Isdebaaq__\\(Aht Urhgan Whitegate) (L-9)\\ \\ To protect against an outbreak of the dreaded kraken flu, data is required on the effects of the disease. Healthy volunteers are wanted to travel to the Mamool Ja Training Grounds and collect important supplies.\\{table} __Objective:__ Become afflicted with status effects and report back to the NPC before they wear. You need to receive at least 5 of the 7 status effects to win this mission. __Recruitment:__ Lv.70, 3-6 mercenaries __Time Limit:__ 30:00 __Come Prepared With:__ Weapons and spells that give high TP and do low damage to mobs. __Assault Points:__ Variable __Rune of Release:__ (H-8) __Notes:__ (In progress - Kanah) We had some nasty problems with links in this one. I think next time we should go with Carby pulls or something... Probably the easiest way to do this is to pull the mobs close to the NPC and fight them there. Soon as you get a needed status effect, talk to the NPC and then quickly dispatch the mob. Repeat as necessary. Required status effects (need 5 of 7 to win): - Amnesia (Qiqirn) - Attack Down (Leech: Acid Mist) - Bio (Poroggo : Spell - good luck not getting nuked to death before they cast this >.>) - Disease (Lindwurm (raptor mob): Foul Breath) - Evasion Down (Lizard: Infrasonics) - Slow (Spider: Web) - STR Down (Bugard: Awful Eye) For our second run here, we forced our Taru slave to go SMN and had much, much, much better results pulling with Carby. Pretty much a flawless victory, though we only got 5 of 7 ailments. We went through 6 Lizards and once again couldn't get them to use Infrasonics. Tried a Poroggo, keeping our party scattered in case of -ga spells and picked away at it with ranged attacks (keep your shadows/blink/third eye up as well!) but didn't have enough luck to get it cast Bio before time expired. This strategy with the Poroggo seemed to work pretty well, you just need to be lucky in order to get it to cast Bio. 2008-03-10 07:50:51.976 2007-11-04 18:01:05.541
