Faluzure's Hi-Res Shots (NOT BANDWIDTH FRIENDLY)

[Vilurum]

The safehold is a town like any other, except it probably has plot importance more along the lines of the big cities than the smaller towns in the game.

It has nomad moogles, a home point, NPCs who talk and some of whom give quests, a few vendors (with decidedly unimpressive wares, at least at my point in mission progress), and a vast number of people who babble on about empty warehouses for some reason.

Anyway, great screens as always (and I know you don't like to show off, but that armor is really quite stunning to look at). Your next batch will be from the scenes I have yet to see myself, so I'm looking forward to them.

I noticed in one or two of the screens it showed that you did not have the map of Tavnazia (Misareaux, Lufaise, and Safehold). I expect you have since gotten it, but if you haven't you should - it's a *very* easy quest, and has a moderately interesting story.

Out of mild curiosity, do you know if Tavnazia has its own fame, or if it's connected to another area's fame?

Wow, I don't check the thread for a little while, and you post all this! Your shots just keep getting better and better, Fal. And I agree with Vilurum; you look plain awesome in your RDM gear. I can't wait to do this stuff myself... luckily it shouldn't be too much longer. I'm gonna be joining an LS called Force Council soon, and they're a very well-organized LS. I'll be doing the Promyvions with them. They also do weekly Eco-Warriors and Garrisons... I wonder if I can get myself a mannequin for my already too cluttered mog house. XD (Seriously, my mog house lags me if I'm not in first person mode. I have 41 storage slots... that tells you how much furniture I have. :sweat: ) I can't wait to see more... well, this is post #14 for this page, so now you CAN!

And those Taru are out for your blood Fal, watch it.
To ARCANGEL: Yeah, the safehold is just another "town" I guess you could say. Like Rabao, Norg, and uh.. damn... I must be going crazy. I can't remember the name of that town over near Yuhtungha Jungle. It has Nomad Moogles, NP as well as many quest NPCs and vendor NPCs (pretty much like Vilurum said). However, the NPC vendors (at my point in time) offers pieces of the Barone armor for Warriors & Dragoons and I have Auction House access that is tied to Jeuno.

Those Tarus are harmless. They are really hilarious (as you'll see when I get to the later missions). Everytime I see them and see their chat dialogue, I start cracking up.

To Vilurum: Yeah I have the map. I didn't wander around that location much at the time. I was too busy exploring. As for fame, I'm not sure.



To Kyrial Arthian: You're slacking! I always post when there's a new page! (I try to at least).

To chyper: Thanks. Mmm. I think all the CoP areas are pretty cool. You can get to a lot of them without doing the missions. Oh and by the way... you guys are going to love the set of pictures from Mission 2-5. That place is freaking awesome.

Promathia M2-3
My current buffer of prepped pictures is getting smaller! So until I'm able to get to the stock screenshots (360+ of them T_T) to edit them for names, I'll just separate M2-3 & M2-4 in different replies. You know the drill, I post another collection after 14 posts, so get crackin'! Ask me some questions or just post some comments.

Oh and in this set, you get to see Ulmia, the hottest Elvaan woman ever. She doesn't say anything, but just stand there. As I said before, I've always been disappointed with my race's women models. The Humes have cute girls, the Mithras are cute, Elvaans are.... well the Elvaan women look like they have down syndrome or something. Not Ulmia though!

Here's the normal drill...

To Fire: Congrats Fire. That mission was quite interesting. Luckily I had a team who already knew what they were doing but still, it can be rough. We had 2 people die but we finished it on the first try. Not sure if you knew, but I'm on M4-2 right now. I knew already what to look out for.

As for the hints & such, thanks for offering. However, I'm sure there are readers who read my SS thread that would want help and others that wouldn't. That's why I don't post battle strategies at all on this forum. If anyone is interested, then they are free to PM you or post a question in the Mission/Quest forums. But just a reminder to you all, please don't post strats or walkthroughs on this thread since many people who read just want to see pictures. They don't want help and would rather do things on their own.

Incredible shots as always Fal.

One question: Those Fomor mobs. They look like the Elvaan shadows in Fe'Yin except lower level. Did they arggo you? or just stand there?

And Prishe has quite a mouth for looking so young. :/

[Kyrial Arthian]

Ahhhhhh, Prishe is so cuuuuuute!!!!1111one Looks like she's gonna be going right up with Ajido-Marujido and Shantotto as one of my favorite characters. ^^ Gotta love the mouth she's got. XD And she's just so cute; I wanna give her a hug!

[Vilurum]

That girl is awesome. Now I have to do those missions so I can see her myself.

You said the vendors at your point had the Barone equipment for sale? Odd that it still hasn't shown up in the AH then ... or is it a non-AH but non-EX item like Illuminink or mannequin parts?

And, of course, this naturally begs the question of Sha'ir.

[Sierra12]

Oh I'm sorry I meant the woman in the red that was in the last screenshot sorry . So that's Yve'nolie...when do you start seeing her? Anyways great shots Faluzure. So is Prishe the leader of Tanzania remants? That's intresting for a kid her age to have such a big role! Look forward to seeing more.

[Kyrial Arthian]

And another post so we can get closer to more Prishe!!

To ARCANGEL: Thanks. Those Fomor mobs are very similar to the Elvaan shadows in Fe'Yin. However, Fomor encompasses all races and jobs to my knowledge. The only one I haven't seen yet is a Taru Fomor. They didn't aggro because I had sneak, as you know undead detect via sound. I ran up to one to take a screenshot.

As for Prishe... She seems bratty and arrogant with a foul mouth. This is just speculation, I don't think she is a kid. I thought she was a kid also.. until I saw a cutscene with her in the later missions.

To Vilurum: The reason it hasn't shown up on AH is due to the fact that each Barone piece costs more than a million at the NPC. Some even extending to 25 million. Nobody would sell something they bought for that high from an NPC. Those who have the money and like the best stuff can go ahead and buy it from NPCs but it is already known that the Barone set can be synthesized.

As for the Sha'ir set, there is already some pieces on sale. I told my Bard LS member last night. To be more specific, the leg & hands recipes are readily available on our server. The other recipes are known but the items have yet to be discovered. You can thank the patch for giving the new recipes. I read a Japanese website quite often and they've already figured which synthesis types are required for the Barone & Sha'ir sets (as well as many other crafts). For specific recipes however, they compiled as much data as they could. Oh and by the way, the Sha'ir Manteel Goldsmithing. The Shining Cloth rumor is false (so kudos to the dumbass that started a false rumor... this is why I don't believe anything until it is verified by a credible source. I don't even get involved in those "speculation" threads on any forum.) For those of you that are bards and are curious, here are the recipes for the known Sha'ir pieces if you want to try to craft them yourself.

To Sierra12: Yve'nolie is met from Zilart Mission 13 (or maybe 12). That is when you first see her.

Prishe is the leader yes... and I'll just cut & paste what I wrote to ARCANGEL. I don't think she is a kid. I thought she was a kid also.. until I saw a cutscene with her in the later missions.

[Nixles]

I think we meet that character at the end of ZM 8... But I might be mistaken..
I know I've seen her before, and I'm only doing ZM 12 this friday, so it's defenetly before then... Is it ZM 6? Forgotten...

Fal, it took me forever to get sky...
What level did you get access to it? I'm level 70 and don't even have it yet... But I will after friday, if we can beat that NM in Quicksand Caves.
Any idea what kind of party set up we need to do it?
I know this is kind of off topic, but I really want to know.


Also, congrats on the exelent pics!

To Nixles: Hi Nixles. Thanks for asking questions. I'm not quite sure when you meet Yve'nolie, as it has been so long. I do know she's tied into the Zilart Missiosn though.

What level did I get access to Tu'lia? I got access at level 75. So don't be frustrated. I was one of the very first NAs that was level 75 upon North American release. To be specific, I was level 75 in late February of this year. Around that time, many people were still level 60s and under. There were only 2 other NAs that were level 75 when I hit it. The places I leveled at were Ro'Maeve and King Ranperre's Tomb... all the way to 75. I didn't have the advantage of leveling up in Tu'Lia like many NAs are doing now. So consider yourself lucky when you get there at level 70-71.

Quicksand Caves NM? You mean the pot? The pot is really easy. BLMs are kind of useless because the pot has ultra high magic resistance. So if any of your BLM friends tag along, it will only be for healing or stunning the mob when it casts a strong spell. A party of 6 can do it (even a party of 5 if you wanted). All you have to watch out for is the -ga spells. Good luck!
