Do any Sandy people want to try take the Bastok OP some time soon? Or do other nations want to do likewise?
Has anyone else out there successfully taken it? Without actually looking I'm just assuming it's a matter of stocking up on gear and trading them to the OP on a Sunday night before the conquest updates.
I just figure the more people that do it the easier it will be and other nations should do the same since it makes travel so much easier.

Town Outposts
<~~ All OPs for Basty, including Oldton too.
Thanks Korpg, the advice is really appreciated.
Ok then, here is what you can do, but mind you, you would have to spend like 500k to do so.
Buy a ton of cheap armor, and spam the Outpost NPC with it. You will *eventually* get enough CPs racked up for your nation that it will become theirs next run. Problem is, you have spent 500k for some shmuck to take advantage of you. Happy now?

As for Oldton, you have to live there for the week, and kill everything in sight. And don't die any either, cause you will lose CP for your nation every death.
I'm all for a well organised two week trade rotation, Windy takes bastok, bastok takes Sandy, Sandy takes Windy, then next week swap, however someone in Shards (Loopy I think) apparently traded a couple hundred k worth of gear and didn't make a dent. Would have to be done with meripos or level sync parties I guess... King Ranperre's tomb is the obvious choice to take Sandy, but do Windy and Bastok have 75 areas?
Also Korpg, I suppose you can OP to sky too? There is no Movalpolos OP.

There's an outpost in Oldton? >_> Sandy's had it a few times over the past 12-18 months, and I've never noticed an OP in there >.> EDIT: Damn I should learn to read through first XD Blazza said: Also Korpg, I suppose you can OP to sky too? There is no Movalpolos OP. /muted >.> Please, ignore my post XD The highest lvl mobs i can think of for taking bastok would be the ravine in n. gustaberg... not too sure what lvl those mobs are exactly but im sure someone more interested could look.
also another way to get the other nations OP is to simply change your nation. you no longer lose ur OP's when you change Yea, you don't lose them, but you can't use the ones you obtained with Bastok if you change to different nation. They're only saved for you when (if) you return to Bastok.

Windy has the Toraimarai Canal area
Going off that you can't do Expeditionary Force in Bastok though, correct?

Karusan said: Going off that you can't do Expeditionary Force in Bastok though, correct? Yeah, i think thats true. Speaking of OP's, why the hell is gustaberg op so far from bastok compared to saruta a nd ronfaure? I did a quick scim of the Expeditionary Force so I might of missed it but it doesnt seem to list the 3 Nations OPs as ones you can do, am I wrong about that?

Thats pretty cool that you guys do that. Anyone in Hades interested in doing that I would be interested in helping and can get some friends too.
Good luck to you guys who are doing it Xxnumbertwoxx said: Zanno said: I've always wanted to try that, but as with the Eco-Warrior ***, I have pretty much put that in the "never *** happen" category lol Shoulda started playing this game back in '04 when people actually did this ***regularly... >.< Haha I remember running around in Sandy (when people were actually there and not their mules) seeing shouts for Eco-Warrior all the time. I would love to do that again.

I treid for a long time to talk ppl in to expeditionary force but never got ppl enough for it. would be cool to try it out sometime. Nice way to earn CP it seems. I did a few Eco-warrior quests way back on my old character, some of the best fun I've ever had in this game, a whole alliance of gimp *** level 20 people running through ordelle's caves that have no idea where they're going? win.
I thought EF could be done at any OP, but the region has to be beastmen owned, when was the last time you saw sandy/windy/basty beastmen owned? And even though I'm derailing my own thread, Garrison is pretty good too. Some nice drops in there.

I just found out recently that a shortcut was implemented for getting to Bastok from the outpost. It prevents you from having to zone into South Gustaburg but it's still a pretty long trek. Really surprised this escaped my notice until I happened upon it while going to get a Blue Box for ANM. http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Lycopodium_%28NPC%29 Ravax said: I just found out recently that a shortcut was implemented for getting to Bastok from the outpost.

I don't have any flowers on me. Figures... That's the one benefit I've really noticed so far to being San d'Orian...our noob areas are nice and small, and easy to get around ^^ Ravax said: Speaking of OP's, why the hell is gustaberg op so far from bastok compared to saruta a nd ronfaure?

It is still a loooong run to Port even with Lycopodium warp. FYI, also a Lyco warp in Garliage to get behind gate 2 and one in Batallia to get to the Glacier Zone if you didn't know about those either.

No idea what was going on.. holy ***a giant undead blob...wipe.. get pissed and never want to join alliances again. Oh see, I never wiped with my uber level 20 melee rdm skillz <_< And as for Karu's comment, you could make a damn fun and profitable (gil and exp) day out of Cape Terrigan Garrison and FoV. Isn't the whole point of going into South Gustaberg to check if lizzie is up? :D
