So starting the end game grind is pretty brutal these days in the games life, so let's make this a little easier. Every Monday for as long as I continue subbing to this game, I'm going to spend a couple hours to hand out some gear to people. It's only going to be some light and easy to farm Escha gear, but it should help people get closer to a baseline to getting into other content. So:

What -
Escha-Zitah
t1 - I'll supply pops
t2/3 - You'll supply pops

Escha-Ru'aun
t1 - I'll supply pops
t2 - You'll supply pops
t3 - Nah

Reisenjima
t1 - I'll supply pops

When -
Mondays starting around midnight EST, also known as Tuesday.

What you should do:
Get an idea of what you need, by reading guides (in that jobs FFXIAH subforum), asking questions in said guides or you can send me a tell and maybe I'll have an idea. Also acquire a number of pops for any of the monsters I said you need to supply pops for. Ru'aun t2 have a rather large loot pool so expect to need many pops to get what you want.

And we shall see if this gains any traction, see you then, or not, depending.

Edit: Already got a PM about it, but if others want to contribute and help gear others up, you're welcome to do so. Just say something.

Would also offer my help to those that need (routinely do so anyway contrary to popular belief) although I'm GMT based. Can assist those that Lady can't scoop up.

Bump, about an hour before start. So far no newbies have contacted me, but quite a few people have offered to come along to help. An odd inverse of what I expected.

May be true, but if you're trying to figure out endgame in FFXI and haven't found your way to the main fansite, you're probably going to be lost forever.

I'll be on in about an hour if anyone is up for week 2 of this. Please have an idea of what you'd like from the OP list of NM's. It helps if you have an idea of what you need other than "BST stuff".

To note my mobo is dying so my computer is pretty sluggish and tearing a fair bit in game, should still be fine to get on and play, but I'm not on the game much the next few days while parts arrive.

Going to bump this thread because it's a good idea and offer the below. Hope LoH doesn't mind.

I am available to help with misc stuff that is within my content reach. I can solo most High Tier Battlefields on at least Difficult (some like Superman, Normals, DM = nothx solo). Pretty much any UNM I am good for minus 135 ones (we will need to form for that), just need support for the higher ones. Sinister Reign, willing to take weaker players along to get gear. Alluvion Skirmish if you need gear, can solo those bosses. Pretty much any non end game general content I will offer assistance to any newer or not end-game players.

Unlike Lady, I don't have a set time every week for this, I just pop up online (usually 11-12pm est nightly, early days sunday, sat anytime). You can post here if you're looking for some help with something, or send me a tell in game and i'll help you with whatever you want to get done, assuming I'm available.

Would be free of charge, not mercing, just assisting.

I could really use some Sinister Reign myself. Ive never done the event so Im in need of some of the gear and the trusts on my main and alt. August for sure on my main.

Escha gear I could use too, some for my main, lots for my alt. Though Im not expecting people to spend time gearing my alt, I usually just give him any leftovers if possible.

I just moved from Siren too, so if one of you has a LS I would love to join up. I'm completing as many things that I can duo myself, but reaching that time when making some friends to work through content with will be needed. Cheers.

Im in-game after 5pm PST every weekday. All day on weekends.

Will be on tonight, look for me. I usually do SR 2-3x a week, 10 runs each time. Check with the local consierge, there is one I just joined for the purpose of helping people. "Seeker" something. Goal "Assist Others". Can find me on there if you happen to join.

Bravo Lady, we need more players like you in this game. I'm doing something similar on Cerberus with our returnees. We need to help people these days, and they're less inclined to learn if they have everything done for them.

If anyone would like advice on how to beat earlier Geas Fete or Omen, send me a PM and I'll pass on my experiences from when my group started doing them.

Thank you Buukki. I'll check the concierge at lunch.

This is the power growth we've been discussing lol. Go try out some Tree Delve II's and realize that used to be "hard" content. It's also why SE needs to be very careful about large power increases via gear updates.

I persoanly think this is why the new Dynamis gear people are complaining about arent major upgrades. There's only so far they can go before everything else becomes trivial.

Amazing how stupidly strong Master Rune with aeonic is. Looking back to when I was a fledgling BLU and could barely hit that thing, I'm shocked how steep the gear progression and gifts took me over the hump. It's fun going back and experimenting, helping other struggling, growing players get better. Kind of a nice break from the GIMME GIMME GIMME MAKE GIL norm tbh.

I told a few in the linkshell I'd be doing a few more Saramas tonight, to help them get their swords and GS. Might not be til later tonight when i log in, but more than welcome to join. Really just need a geo and cor and the rest dont matter. Can't really die with unda, shell, barwater, and all the other run tools.

Unrelated: As far as Relic+2/3, I have stated before that much of the gear brings with it a heavy attack bonus that many people are choosing to ignore on purpose. That princely amount is not to be left out. It affects white damage and WSD heavily, especially for jobs that don't get it often. Yes, I know we can cap attack relatively easy, but for scenarios like this post, having those extra pieces do make a small, incremental difference over time. Relic+2/3 isn't that bad, it's the delivery that people are most upset about.
