A few people have been waiting for BM6-1, and I want to do some planning in advance so that when we actually do it we don't waste too much time. This mission is relatively short and players from other nations can participate to help out.
To participate, here are the requirements:
1. Level 60+ (exception for lower levels will be made if (a) large turnout and (b) player provide his own sneak/invis).
2. Have the mission "Return of the Taleskeeper" already. Mission details can be read from a number of sites. Here's one: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/quests.html?realm=&fquest=399
Reply to this post if you wish to participate.
We will meet in Bastok in front of the Bastok Mines MH.
Tentative Time: Sunday 3:30PM PST.
There are some guidelines I would like to introduce for this mission to help make things go more smoothly:
1. Do not run off on your own. If someone gets seperated, don't run off to get them. Stay with the party leader and we will send somebody to get the missing person.
2. Avoid conflicts. On the way there, do not fight random monsters. This distracts the participants and slows the party down. Fight the monster after the mission is completed if you want.
3. Stay at camp. Once we arrive at a safe camp spot, don't start pulling mobs to clear the area. Let the designated puller grab the monster and let the designated tanker take hate.
4. Avoid chit-chat in party talk. Keep the conversation in party chat to the mission at hand and chit-chat through the linkshell. This way, people can easily determine what is being said about the mission and let us know when people are in trouble (help call doesn't get lost).
5. # and @. If necessary, use '#' to represent you need invis and '@' to represent you need sneak.
This should probably take about 1 hour to complete.

The NMs are in the Western Altepa desert at (F-8). From Bastok we will teleport to Altepa (thus another need for a second WHM). There are two ways to go to Western Altepa (west past outpost or north east towards Rabao). To avoid confusion, we will go to RABAO. So, once we are at telepoint, head to Rabao. From Rabao, we will take Chocobos to F-8. This is mainly to save us time and is a safer method. Chocos are pretty cheap in Rabao anyway.
Once at the camp site, do NOT dismount until we surveys the area. We don't want to get unecessary agro and links. Once everyone safely dismounts, we'll clear the area.
Shido will be responsible to touching the ??? to spawn the NM. Follow the lead of the tank as to which one to attack (i believe it'll be the Eastern Manticore) and sleep the other one. Concentrate on one NM at a time.
Here's another strategy for those not at the front lines. If you get agro, run towards the melees so we have the chance to provoke the mob away from you or do what is necessary.
Once we defeat the NMs, everyone who needs to complete the mission should touch the ??? again to get key item.
Finally, we will Teleport-Altepa and go to Korroloka Tunnels where we can "Escape" right to Bastok.
