Ok, I participated in Genkai 2 on Saturday with Yekan and company. I had fun, and am glad to have it over with. All in all, it's not that tough of a thing to do. We had some higher levels help out with the tanking, healing, and damage. I'd like to see an alliance of all 55s pull it off just as easily. ^^
Thanks to everyone who helped out.
To anyone doing Genkai2 in the future, just a few tips to help future people out:
- Flag the quest. Double check that you have it flagged. Maat will ask for 3 pieces of fragicite if you have it flagged.
- Get the Vahzl gate crystal. I can't say much about doing this, except that if you have 17 people that have it, and you don't, you may find a group that isn't willing to wait for you. ( There just aren't enough cool mobs to kill at the crystal while waiting. :p )
- Know the locations of all 3 NMs. We only had one or two people in our group that did. I wasn't one of the two. =(
- Silent Oils, Prism Powders, Sneak, Invis... etc. If you can't cast it on yourself, you should bring a stack of each of the powders. This is a good idea for almost all group events, including parties.
- Stick together. Stragglers get aggro and die. Appoint a leader and listen to them.
Those are just some simple things that make it easier on you, and everyone else. =)
This is one of the first experiences where a little organization and preperation can save everyone *lots* of time.
All in all, it's fun to do stuff like this, but it always stings when someone dies, someone has to log due to it taking too much time, etc.
