Ok, so this isnt exactly a fixed event as such, but I was wondering if anyone wants to try out assault with me sometime. Pretty much all of them can take from 3-6 people, and range from 60 to 75 cap if i recall correctly (some might be 50 cap... not sure).
Anyways, there is some pretty sweet armour pieces that are obtainable via Assault points, such as the Chivalrous chain (3STR 5Acc) , Potent belt (3STR, 8Acc... do i smell uber life belt?) the Pahluwan sets and Amir sets and much more. Even if you dont want the armours you can sell stuff like the potent belt for example goes for 2mil at the moment.
Ive only tried 2 and failed completely due to complete lack of organisation and newbness basically, but I would really like to find one or two Assaults that maybe a small group of us could do whenever we are online at the same time to rack in a few more A.P.
So if anyone's interested, let me know; on the Alla forums in the quests/mission section there is a very detailed sticky guide on Assault missions, check it out.
NOTE: You need to have Aht Urhgan acces (duh!) and have done the first two mission (i.e. be at least a Private Second Class mercenary) and preferrably have the staging points that we would be Assaulting unlocked.

Dyu I'd like to try to do some Assults. I only have one staging point atm though, so i'll have to work on a few more. Not to mention get up to 60 (59 currently). If we get ppl that wanna do this it would be awesome.

itd be great if you could get to 60 Toon, because BLMs are in high demand for excavation duty in Leujoam Sanctum (i think thats where it is, only done it once); Basically you have to take down a bunch of rock walls... lol. I think 5 of them. Anyway the best way to do this is, as with many things, throw BLMs at it. DoT spells and aero I hear is the way to kill em. Melees do about 1-2 dmg per hit, which is quite amusing.
You can also kill Qiqirn in the area and hope they drop a key item (bomb thingy) which blows up the walls, but this is risky and also you risk death from Qiqirns as opposed to walls, who dont really give a crap.
Obviously theres a lot of others but thats just one that comes to mind ^^

You dont really need great gear most of the time Vili, in fact a lot of the missions you necessarily have to fight any mobs >.< You could always use your DRG AF... lol

You also forgot the Chivalrous Chains TP Store +1 which, since it's +1, means anyone that wears it should get the effect of TP Store. (like my triple dagger has a triple attack +1% which allowed me to triple attack as early as 51)
XD I would like to do assault, those to items I've been keeping an eye on...along with many others that I think you earn from assault. (like the two rings that increase Dex and Agi by 3)

+1 store TP doesnt help much
if you have +20, however, you will get a LOT more TP / hit (sams onry)

yeah +1 store tp is basically about 0.1 TP extra per hit. So you need at least +10 to notice it It cant hurt to have it though i guess. Ok so anyone who wants to try some assaults, start getting staging points and we can try and work it out whenever people are online. Just let me get a list of people and jobs that can do it on this thread to help me out

XP That store tp thing will still help out in the long run >> I mean...not much but the fact that it's added to a good neck piece just makes it look better.
Guess Yuro and I should start getting the points soon neh?

you dont need to get all of them, i would recommend getting at least Halvung and Leujoam Sanctum and maybe Mamool Ja cause thats quite close. The others take a while to get to and dont have such great items for AP.
