New Pet Shell with an old name. FifthElement now recruitingFollow

Well, we made it. I still got my name after the ride in the transporter, yay.... hi folks!

FifthElement is Bismarck's newest Pet Linkshell and is NOW RECRUITING the following jobs with priority given to those with a sidekick:

BST
SMN
PUP
DRG

BRD
COR
RDM
WHM
PLD
BLU


Primary purpose.
Fun and shineys. To provide an alternate end game experience to the typical variety of shells by using pet-based self sufficient jobs as main DD sources, supported just like any endgame alliance would support their standard DDs.

Admission criteria
Don't be a goober or a drama queen and have a 70+ pet job that you are serious about and can bring to events. We typically ask all those online at any given time if any have a problem with (your_name_goes_here). If not, you are accepted and pearled on the spot. The shell is based on mutual respect and trust and is much like a family shell in that regard. If you don't like family, you won't like us. We will have a job leader sacked for each of the 4 pet jobs as well as sacks for event leaders.

Schedule.
This also will be determined after about a week on the server to avoid conflicts with existing shells and work with a majority of this shell's member's game time, centered around an evening EST time frame. It is important to me that it be no more than 4 evenings a week and that events not be mandatory attendance. Along with this I want to have pet based meripo and xp parties at least 1 night per week. Folks are free to use the shell as a social in the off-hours.

Points. EPGP based with a fairly stiff decay to promote solid participation.


Events.
Will be on site calendar for sign-up as well as /lsmes.

Limbus.(I have a lot of experience here and I look forward to adapting this to pet based DD. AF+1 to go free lot with a priority towards those that have the mating half. Boss items to go per position in the EPGP.)

Sea gods
Pop-NMs
KS99
ZNMs
Nyzul Isle (While not an official point earning event, I can see running some of these along with regular assaults on a regular basis)

Sky... maybe(We'll see on what member input is. I am a lot like a lot of folks, not a big fan of sky farming but <3 to fight the gods. If there is interest , we can find a way)


Non-Events
Land Kings. Without pointing fingers, I simply won't bot anything, and I fear that puts us out of the running for these. However, I can tell you that Tiamat can be killed with a combination of 16 BST and SMN in 43 minutes. Just an FYI, I really hate camping long windows and do not expect it to be a part of the program.
Dynamis
No...join an established Dyna shell for this. I run with Catwho's NoSeph and highly recommend them if you are looking for gear. Yes, I go PUP, SMNs get to go SMN, BST get to go BST etc.
Einherjar
No. The time constraints of this event almost demand a zerg type approach to the final boss of each chamber. While SMN is top DD on Odin, you gotta get there first.

Linkshell Bank
No. Ima gamer, not a banker. Items will get dispersed at runs or sold and gil split even between participants. We will keep a tally of triggers as we accumulate them on the site.

Accounting
Completely transparent and available on site for any member's review at any time.

I am working on setting up our boards and lining up our schedules. Gimme a /tell in game with any questions and let's get this party started.

Cya there:)

Just a shameless bump to let folks know that thanks to the friendly folks here on Bismarck, our first week of recruiting has been a success.

Recruiting will be open for about the next week, so if you're interested in an alternate endgame experience, shoot me a /tell and we'll get ya fixed right up.

Cya there :)

Hi folks,

With summer comes vacations and with that it makes forming event groups tough from week to week as you never quite know who you are going to have available to show up.

In that light and in consideration of the recent 80cap increase, we have adjusted our event schedules. Folks want 80, we want folks to have 80, pink gear :p, and a slathering of merits.

We are limiting events to Limbus, 5PM EST Sunday and 5:45 PM EST Wednesday.

In addition we have bumped up our Abyssea xp/cruor runs to twice a week 1PM EST Sundays and 6PM EST Thursdays.

We will adjust schedules again in the fall with the return of "normalcy" to folks schedules.

BTW, While our Abyssea runs are big fun, they are fairly structured events. We know which camps work, which chests to force pop when, what jobs to have where, who to /assist etc.. These are serious xp runs, not social events.

We've got mages, tanks and even regular jobs and we <3 pet jobs.

Anyhoo, thanks for your time and we'll cya there.
