  • First time in Sky

    So, I will be in Sky once I get off work tonight for the first time. Quick bragging for a sec.

    Camel Nuts pwned (Okay not PWNed per se but killed nonetheless) w/ 67NIN/WAR(Me) 67MNK/WAR 67SAM/WAR 68THF/NIN 68BRD/WHM AND 74RDM/WHM. For the record, PLD is definitely a better tank for this than NIN. This was the challenge of my NIN career so far. Constant spamming of Dispelga and Silencega then following immediately after with Light Blade was ridiculously stressing. Our THF/NIN actually laid in the killing blow while everyone besides her and our RDM/WHM laid dead. It was an epic battle, extremely challenging, as I said before ridiculously stressful, and easily one of the most fun times I've had in-game.

    Anyway, back to the topic @ hand. Everyone from the above listed pt setup will be killing the Magic pot NM after I get off work tonight, and then all of us minus the rdm will be taking our first exploratory tour of Sky. My question is this, what should we do? Where should we go? Any quests or anything we could do up there? The 5 of us are going strictly to check the place out and will have a few hours to screw around. We're all good friends, 4 of us are in the same house even lol, and we just want to go up there and enjoy the scenery so to speak.

    I'm gonna try to convince them to come peek @ the single AA's with me. ^^b

      P.S. I know I can look all this up but I've always put faith in the "Adventurous" nature of most of our Dreams community. lol

        Just NMs that drop items for poping other NMs or Gods really. I dont know if you know this but dont walk in the blue light where to Dolls are. They aggro.

          Try not to die in Sky (In the areas where there's tons of Weapons and other magic aggro nasties) you can't tractor and raise/re-raise w/o aggroing a million things. Like dying in Ro'maeve, 'cept with IT+ mobs at your level...

              The dolls are in depressions in the walls with a blue light behind them. You should stay away from them. You'll find what we call the "gauntlet" straight ahead to the main entrance. This is where there are dolls in the walls on either side. If you walk between the lines all the way to the other side you'll be fine. The lines basically look like:

              ________________

              -------------------------
              ________________

              Just stay between the 2 solid lines.

              Learn the names of the different islands. This will help you a LOT in sky. So teleport around and memorize how many tele's to each island and such.

                I got in a brand new sky LS a few months ago. took us 2 hours to run to byakko
                after a couple weeks we only spend 5-10 minutes top.
                There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
                but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
                transform a yellow spot into the sun.

                  A couple of players in my ls reached this point yeseterday.
                  They were so excited about reaching the sky.... and I think they mentioned the dolls too.

                  Does anyone maybe have any screens or know of any screens, so I can see what it looks like in Sky. I have this blurred vision of it looking like something similar to what you see inside Holla or one of the others. (can't remember what you call them right now. /sigh)

                        Update, Sky is GORGEOUS. Unfortunately, after a friend led us to the spot to get the CS for the DM fight, I got hit up by a friend in /tell right as we were coming to teh "Gauntlet". Drifted to one side out of the lines, 10 dolls on me and instant death. lol We had fun though. Thanks to everyone for the advice.

                          /sigh. It's a pity I can't get any shots from anyone then. /sigh.
                          A player in ls mentioned that the music in there was really nice too.
                          I wonder if I could get this from one of the music files in my game folders.
                          I'm not sure which one it wouod be though.

                          By the way.... what ARE.... these dolls?
                          I've heard that they are set in depressions in the walls, but that's all I know about them.
                          What do they look like?

                          Can I see them..... can I, can I........ Plleeeeeeaaaaaaasssseeee??!!

                          WOW! That sounds really cool! Sharks usually have this evil look about them, but dolphins........ noooooooo!!
                          I couldn't imagine killing them sweet creatures.

                            search the screenshot forum. I know a few have popped up in the past. might be a few sea ones too... come to think of it, there are definately some shots in Faluzure's thread.

                              I would like to offer my help and advice on sky to anyone. I consider it my favorite place in game game, so far, and I know it like the back of my hand! I rarely die, even if sneak wears in the middle of weapons. Sky can BE very very VERY convusing at times. I still remember myeslf feeling very dumb tryin to get back to the main portal and taking red portals, yellow portals, blue portals, ahhhhhhhhhh lol the good old times. Now I constantly help newcommers get their coffers keys both from inside and outside, as well as the coffers. I also know all the spawn locatoins for coffers in the palace and, I spend many hours duoing pots with my RDM riend for decent xp and campint water.

                              My LS will start raiding SEA and doing alot of jailers, most of our time will be SEA since we got like 50ish people on my LS with SEA access no. But I decided to keep leading the Sky raids for the members who still need God items.

                              If you want some good pictures of sky go to www.darkhound.org and click on the photo gallery!

                              Thanks
