i just wanted to share my happiness w/ the ENMs they added to the game. a lot of people still don't know about these or haven't tried them. http://ffxi.somepage.com has a detailed page listing them all but i imagine some people just dont know enough about them to try
enm is basically a BC that you enter with a key item. theres 9-10 ENM you can do, and you can do each one every 5 days. there's NPCs that can tell you how much time you have left til you can do an ENM again (like moritz, upper jeuno)
what is great about enms is:
a) free to enter - no kindred seals to farm
b) no exp loss for dying! not only does that make them risk-free, it makes the battle easier because everyone can raise themselves and others
c) some VERY nice drops you can't get any other way
d) the fights are mostly very easy
e) 2000-4000 xp or limit points reward
here's some of my favorits:
Like The Wind
prep: talk to taru at attowah chasm entrance to get cotton pouch. climb the top of the mountain on east side, trade pouch to spot at top. run back to taru at entrance and trade him the pouch for key item. enter BC at boneyard gully
fight: an Eft that constantly runs around. hits moderately hard, does aeroga3 and gravity. i can *almost* solo it simply by sic'ing fenrir on it. 3-4 person limit i think
rewards: 2000 xp, maneater, galatei, paeon5, other items
promy-vazl
prep: just talk to npc in jeuno, and warp to top floor from entrance
fight: 4 memory receptacles. red one is invincible til you kill the other 3. the other 3 have very low HP (can be 1-shotted almost by a good WS) and when they die they pop an empty monster (also very low HP). what makes this amusing is the MRs are constantly doing empty seed and the central MR also does draw in constantly, so youll be pushed back, drawn in, over and over. its quit funny. 6-18 people allowed, beat it easily with 8.
rewards: 3000xp, lots of good 1mil+ items but the really good drop is toreador's ring, HP +10, Accuracy +7
anyway if you haven't done any ENM yet, try them! 3 are capped at level 30 so almost anyone can do them
