For better or worse, Paige/psweet (odebear on the forums) requested that I take up the reigns of this Zakum organization business. So here I am. Rock you like a hurricane.
First things first, I'll lay out some basic pre-requisites upon which I think we can all agree:
Pretty simple, right? If you satisfy these criteria and want to join, then simply post here. I am currently working on a tentative roster of people who would like to participate in the run.
When will the run(s) be? From the looks of it, I believe that February 13th or 14th would be most suitable to everyone's schedules. For those of you too lazy to check your calendars, yes, this is during the weekend: friday and saturday, respectively. As for specific times, midday or evenings (~2 PM through 12 AM PST) seem to work best for everyone with whom I've conversed. We can probably narrow it down more specifically, and we probably should, considering how large of a time frame this is. I'm open to suggestions.
Tentative Roster:
(Bear in mind that the listed levels are as of today,February 8 February 9. I'm sure at least some of us will gain levels between now and then.)
The roster is taken from a list of names whom odebear informed me would be willing to go on a Zakum run. If I am misinformed and you would like your name taken off of the list, then post here/PM me and I will not hesitate to do so. Inversely, if you are available midday-evenings (PST) on 2/13 or 2/14 and would like to join in on the run, then please post here/PM me and I will add your name to the list.
Looting Order
This is one last thing which I think needs to be addressed. Seeing as several people want helmet (and advanced charge, to my chagrin) to drop, we'll have to decide on some sort of looting order. My proposed solution is that the highest level person who wants a given drop (i.e. for Helmet, this would presently be Conan) gets first dibs on that drop, and then the second highest level person is second in line for pecking order, etc. To me, this seems fair since that person will likely have contributed more damage than the lower level people (and in my case, I'm the only one who can presently and immediately make use of Advanced Charge); however, I am open to suggestions and if everyone else comes to a consensus on a different system, then I will update this section of the thread.
I'm not sure if this run will even take off, but this is the best I can do with the hand that's been dealt to me. At the moment, it doesn't appear that we have enough DPS to be able to tackle Zakum within a fair amount of time (30-45 minutes). And I'm unsure if additional higher level players would even consider joining. Hopefully, five to six days should be sufficient time to see whether or not this will be happening.
First things first, I'll lay out some basic pre-requisites upon which I think we can all agree:
- Complete Zakum Pre-Quests. A very good guide for them can be found here.
- Have enough potions to survive 30 minutes to an hour, and probably some all cures as well. I'm not sure how long it will take, given that our pool of attackers is limited.
- Be level 90 at least. 100 + is probably better, though. I think this is a decent baseline for attackers who are able to survive and contribute a little. Preferably, we'd be able to get a bunch of 4th job people, but my impression is that most who are in 4th job have no need to fight Zakum any longer.
