Hello, i was wondering how did you get pass Promy-Vahzl to get to Spire Vahzl?

Awesome update Gen! I was really curious to see what spells became available with addendum. Looks like SE really did a lot for SCH ~ which is cool 'cause it seemed a bit gimpy before. I'm really thinking that I'm going to HAVE to level SCH now for subs for RDM and WHM. RDM for when I merit, WHM probably full time. The lack of Stoneskin/Phalanx makes me think that it would be useless for my play style while soloing on PLD ~ but I might try it out anyway. Did you solo SCH to 37?

I've seen a lot of whining from WHM's that SCH get raise 2, but I think that it is about time someone else got a raise spell greater than 1. And Sublimation will probably lead to whining RDM's ~ but f*ck them :D lol.

I soloed SCH to 37, I might add some screenshots of that to this entry later. It felt really weak and I had to mostly use sch/bst and use MP mostly for cure and later on drain.

easiest wasy to reach Spire of Vahzl! anonymous March 11 2008, 15:05:19 UTC

Is there an easier way to get to Spire of Vahzl than climbing up (is that even possible solo?).
Which is the best subjob for it?

Re: easiest wasy to reach Spire of Vahzl! genomeffxi March 11 2008, 16:09:28 UTC

See below for how to get there, and the subjob I used was WAR for the doubleattack and berserk. You could try other ones but probably there isn't much that can help reduce damage from empty seed (/nin etc would not be good and mage jobs you could be able to cast).

How? anonymous March 11 2008, 15:25:18 UTC

Hello, i want to know how did you do to pass through promy vahzl? I have never done this ENM before. thx.

Re: How? genomeffxi March 11 2008, 16:12:20 UTC

You have to first finish the CoP corresponding mission once (with a party) to even have this offered as an ENM.
After that you never have to go through the promy again because it gives you an option every time to jump directly to any floor including the top level directly, skipping any fight or difficulty, so getting there is not a problem at all, just a short solo walk from the glacier every time.

Re: How? anonymous March 11 2008, 16:52:50 UTC

I'm sorry to ask a question again, but which entrance of pso'xja in Glacier should i enter? Do i have to kill several NMs with 100hp/tick to reach prom vahzl?

Re: How? genomeffxi March 11 2008, 17:45:34 UTC

You use the entrance from the nue tower. The trap-door NM is disabled forever after you complete that CoP mission, again it's just walking with no fighting at all.

Soloing Giant Scales nijiru March 11 2008, 19:57:56 UTC

I was just wondering how you are able to get Giant Scales solo. What job combination do you use, and what zone do you do it in?

Re: Soloing Giant Scales genomeffxi March 11 2008, 20:21:23 UTC

Actually most times I just do it with bst40 in the 40area, those were very easy to solo just with any charmed pet from there even when I wasn't even 40 yet.
I used to do in the 50cap area years ago with MNK/NIN but it usually was duo with a WHM or healer, I think now you could probably do ok with DNC sub or other subjob combinations to try solo.
