You knew this was coming. Looking for people to help get Soboro Sukehiros.. for me, and I guess for others... You need Riverne B01 clearance (CoP 4-2) and 50 cap gear. Since I'm almost 50 SAM it'll be taking place soon, so just let me know if you can help.

General Posts / Scavenger Hunt Signups
April 14, 2008, 11:59:30 PM
Signups for teams for the upcoming Scavenger Hunt are now open! Teams will consist of three or four people. The leader is required to be a member of Lucky but the others can be other people if you so desire.
Hunt Details
When the Scavenger Hunt starts, I will post a list featuring eight hints. Using these hints, scour Vana'diel to find the corresponding items and trade them to me. Upon completion of this first set of Easy level hints, I will give you the URL to a new list of eight. Upon completion of those Moderate level hints, there will be another URL for the Hard level.
The first team to finish the Hard level of hints will receive the First Prize. Every team that successfully completes all the lists gets a prize as well!
To register your team simply reply to this topic listing the members!
Addendum
Most of the items involved are fairly cheap.. That doesn't mean they're always easy to find though. Also don't assume the Hard List items are hard to find, it simply means the clue is difficult!
The reason for spliting up into teams is to help cut down the cost to play. It should also be noted that you get to keep the items, so you can sell them back if you had to purchase them off of the AH.

News / Lucky Update
April 07, 2008, 09:21:25 PM
Well the front page is overdue for an update so...
- The Pankration (Pit) Tournanment has been put on hold due to the general lack of interest in it. That gives you plenty of time to work on your pet, or raise one if you still don't have one!
- Work on organizing the Scavenger Hunt has been underway but there are still some issues to iron out.
- Lucky is looking for friendly, dramafree members! If you know anyone that's interested, let us know.

News / Pit Tournament and 60 Cap Brenner
February 06, 2008, 04:22:54 AM
Two announcements:
1) Sometime in March I'm going to hold a monster tournament in the Colosseum. There will be a series of Round Robin matches, and then a playoff at the end, if we have enough people. I'm giving you plenty of warning so that you will have ample time to level up a pet if you don't have one!
2) This Sunday at 1PST (4EST) I'm going to hold yet another Brenner match. This one will be 60 cap, so check your gear! Again, everyone is invited to come out, even if you don't want to play, you can watch!

General Posts / The Lucky Beastmaster Lounge
August 08, 2007, 01:00:41 AM
Since there's a fair amount of people in the Linkshell either leveling Beastmaster, or expressing interest in doing so, I thought I'd start this topic and relinquish various tips and advice I've accumulated in my experiences with the job. Maybe a bit later I'll post some camp advice as well.
-----
General BST tips:
When fighting spellcasting monsters such as magic pots, stand opposite of your pet, and barely in melee range. If set up correctly, any -ga spells that target
your pet will not affect you. This works best if your pet is at maximum distance
from the target as well.
When charming a target, it's a good idea to run away from the target as you charm. If you mischarm, you'll have a head start, and in many cases you can
just kite the mob around until your charm timer is ready.
Kiting Tip: Know your terrain. You can use pillars, rocks, and other obstacles to keep a mob busy. Additionally, you can use pathing to your advantage. Sometimes if you drop off a cliff, your chaser will take the long way around.
If you're in a camp that requires pet swaps, save Tame for midfight mischarms. You can typically handle one mob attacking you, but having a mischarm and your original target on you at the same time is dangerous.
After a pet swap or in the event of a mischarm, it's useful to have a hateloss equipment swap macro. An Earth Staff, Crow gear, and AF body are all useful to put in. Your Haubergeon is definitely not going to improve your survival with -20 evasion....
Keep an eye on your surroundings. If you're in a camp that has a lot of aggro, or elemental pops, it's useful to unlock the camera and do a 360 around your character to check for danger.
Pet food is handy if you need your pet to survive just a little longer. AF also allows it to cure status ailments, most useful for paralysis.
If a suggested camp is too dangerous or aggravating, you always have the option of grinding through EP-DC targets.
(More to come.)

General Posts / New Job Speculation
July 27, 2007, 04:10:20 AM
This is just a random topic I'm starting detailing possible ideas for the new jobs SE may be adding to the game. They have said that WotG will have some new ones. I've been doing some brainstorming about what kind of roles they need to fill and such and I've come up with some ideas. Note that these are all jobs that have showed up in the FF series before (and some other Square games), and I've applied some of their old tricks.
For my first post, I'll put in one, and then I'll add more possibilities later.
-------------
Mystic Knight
-------------
Background: This job showed up in Final Fantasy V. It has also been called Sorcerer. It used magic spells that imbued spell effects to its attacks. It
also had a Magic Barrier effect that activated when their HP was low and
good magic defense.
Role: Tank / DD
Paladins and Ninjas are both good at tanking, but one area of weakness for
both of these is magic style damage. Paladin have gotten a few tricks to
help combat magic (Rampart, Fealty) but still take a pounding, particularly
from AM. Ninjas (and any job that's /NIN) can blink single target spells with
Utsusemi but AoE magic effects particularly rip into them.
Hence, I could see a Mystic Knight being designed to be an anti-magic tank.
Weapons: Sword (A or A- rating), Great Sword (B rating), Shield (B rating)
Spells: Saber Magic
Rather than just dump old things like Enthunder on them, I thought up of
a special category of spells. Among these would be added elemental
damage (Flame Saber, Aqua Saber, Frost Saber, Holy Saber, Chaos Saber,
Storm Saber, Geo Saber, Wind Saber) for all eight elements. But also
they would gain the ability to add even more exotic spells on their attacks,
such as Mute Saber, Bind Saber, Leech Saber, Aspir Saber, etc. To keep
the job from being very unbalanced, the activation rate on the status
ailment one would not be 100% (similar to normal added effect weapons)
and the amount drained from Leech/Aspir Sabers would be low.
The damage and effectiveness of sabers would depend on Enhancing
Magic stat. And the sabers would be low enough to where you could
get some of them on subjob. (PLD/MYS would be a viable option, for
example.)
Job Abilities: Since this class has no spells other than sabers, JAs are
needed to help it tank. Here are some ideas:
Deflect - Hate generating move that severely reduces magic based
damage temporarily. Think Sentinel, for magic.
Runic Blade - A take off of Celes's move. The next spell that is
cast upon you will restore some of your hp/mp, based on the mp of
the spell used, and any damage would be nullified.
Barrier - While active, your magic defense will be increased but your
normal defense will be decreased.
Job Traits - Magic Defense Bonus up to IV, Arcana Killer
Two Hour - Mystic Wall
For the duration of this effect, the Mystic Knight is granted a magic shield.
All spell damage is reduced to 0, and all effects that are achieved through
magical means (magic based TP moves, spells such as Sleep and Lullaby,
etc.) are resisted.
Stat Distributions: high INT and MND, good VIT and CHR, okay STR, low AGI
and DEX
good HP, fairly low MP
Armor: Medium - Heavy
Drawbacks:
This job will take a pounding against physical powerhouses, and can't deal
out the type of damage a traditional DD can muster.

Help Desk / It's Not Easy Being Blue...
April 19, 2007, 07:06:10 AM
...Mage, that is.
Especially when you have to keep pestering people for help.
Here's the lowdown:
Actinic Burst
Learned From: Ghrah
This shouldn't be terribly difficult other than just killing the things.
Vertical Cleave
Learned from: Euvhi (aka "flowers")
These have several TP moves including an AoE sleep. Not to mention Vertical Cleave ignores blink. But the Eo'euvhi in Grand Palace are only in the EM-T range, so a handful of people can do it.
Exuviation
Learned from: Wamoura
Yeah.. these are mean, and high level. Gonna want something like a full party.
Magic Hammer
Learned From: Poroggo
Frog Song!
Refrain from killing the charmed tank! Yeah, this is annoying. But it's a light-based damage + MP drain, so might have uses.
Reactor Cool
Learned from: Zdei
Seeing as how these are black mage type mobs, with a bunch of annoying tp moves.. The Ice Spikes + Defense Boost effect is okay though.
Body Slam
Learned from: Dragon (Dahaks)
"You want to fight what!?" Yeah these are mean, really mean. Party or more.
Mind Blast
Learned from: Soulflayer
These things have entirely way too many tp moves that just utterly reek havoc. On top of that, they're black mages, true sight, and VT-IT.
Memento Mori
Learned from: Corse
Don't you just love the black mage mobs with the charm moves? Especially ones that only show up at night?
Amplification
Learned from: Flan/Pudding
Magic Attack Bonus + Magic Defense Bonus, all in one neat package. The trick is finding people willing to let them actually use tp moves.
Did I mention these were black mages too?
Lowing
Learned From: Buffalo
Okay, granted, inflicting plague may not be the most thrilling thing, but hey it might help. Not to mention piss people off in Ballista.
---------
These are listed pretty much in priority order. Any help would be appreciated, as always!

Help Desk / Blue Magic Learning!
August 25, 2006, 06:44:07 AMResident LS Blue Mage Areya here. My spell library continues to grow, but there are a few spells that I need some help acquiring. Here's a rundown of the more important ones at the moment:
Spell: Jettatura
Mob: Hippogryph
This is difficult only because it involves a level capped zone. 2-3 people should be enough to take these on.
Spell: Frightful Roar
Mob: Taurus
Another spell involving level caps. However for this one I'd prefer the DC-to-75 Brontotaurs in Ulegeurand Range. Uncapped = AF gloves = higher chance to learn. These mobs also have quite a few tp moves.
Spell: Voracious Trunk
Mob: Marid
Yeah... these are a pain. Mostly because of the Chigoes. Since they're T-VT to 75 or so, full party might be nice. Mostly want this because it's supposedly used in Auto-Refresh combination.
Spell: Radiant Breath
Mob: Wyvern
Another troublesome mob to fight. Can learn this in Riverne, or by fighting T wyverns somewhere like Ifrit's Cauldron.
Spell: Frenetic Rip
Mob: Imp
They only use this move when they're almost dead, it seems.
That's just a short list for now. Any help would be appreciated.
