Who is up for this quest?
I missed an opportunity to get this done last Sunday and want to try again this weekend. Maybe if we could accumulate a list of people who need it we can form up an alliance and get it done. From what I have read, it requires a full alliance or a group of high level players assisting.
I should be available this coming Saturday night(Central Time). If you will leave your in-game name on this thread I will see how many of you are online Saturday night and want to complete this.

Here is the thread with quest information:

I've gotten to 54 now, so I'll be up for it, just post a time and date and that'd be extremely helpful.

Wind.. im in.. btw.. why didnt u mentioned this on NOVS ls chat? Or did i miss it?

Im sure our ls members will help out.

Thanks for the tips Jaysensen! I had read the part about the wyverns being a problem when you have the brief opportunity to get the ?? before the mob respawns. I'm also curious, did you heal right outside the cave after the battle before moving on to the next one? Also, if someone dies, would you raise them during the battle to avoid a second fight with the same mob? Thanks for any advise anyone cares to offer.

In one of our fights, the PLD got hit by Ancient magic, and subsequently died. I raised him in battle, and he was able to get the ???. Id suggest designating one person as main tank, and having people make Stun macros to avoid the AM.

There is a 15 second respawn. Make sure everyone understands this, and knows to run to the end of the cave while pounding F8. This part is actually really fun.

There are a ghost or 2 chilling in the mouth of the cave. You should rest to full before and after the fight right there. The Etemmus (probably EPs) can be easily by one or 2 melee while the rest of the PT /heals. Spread out the Bard or RDMs.

The hardest part is getting there for those who dont have the telepoint. Other than the journey there, its really an enjoyable quest where you can make lots of friends.

Just an update:
Still hope to get an alliance for this tonight. I plan on being online at approx 8PM (cst) and trying to pull together an alliance, or if I hear any shouts of other people with the same goal, I will try and merge with them.
So far the people that have expressed an interest are as follows:
Windlorn(me)
Darkhound
Thursday
Leobardis
Soske

If any of you can't make it tonight just post here sometime today and I won't bug you tonight.
If anyone else is interested, leave your name on this post as this is where I will go first when building an alliance. You need to be level 51 and have started the quest with Maat in Jeuno gardens before you can complete this quest.
Also, having the gate crystal to that area, Xarcabard is very important as it will save time getting there.
Thanks!

Me too please.

Man I have to start checking this forum more often.

Anyway. Send a /tell to Archimedes if this didn't get done Saturday night.

Hi, Just so you know, I searched twice on Saturday night for the people who had expressed an interest in doing this and was unable to find you online. Sorry you missed it because we were able to complete the quest.
