Ashu Talif
Shortly after earning our for Yoichi's sash from Royal Painter Escort we realized that it might never sell. While it is an rare material for a pretty good body it simply does not match up to other bodies for ranger and ranged samurai. Royal Painter Escort is a great quest, but does not provide us with enough potential profit. We have successfully won the quest earning all three chests with three people. We had the quest down to a science, but it is time to move on.
Readjusting our focus to the longer Scouting the Ashu Talif has had mixed results. We have only attempted it twice, but we have a pretty good idea of how to run it now. Our first attempt we lost, Suiram took a couple ancient magic spells from imps and ended up dying when we had less than five minutes left. Our second attempt was much more successful. Our pulls were more fast paced and we made better use of the medicine we receive throughout the fight.
With Nivlakian as monk, Suiram blue mage, and myself as red mage we were able to quickly kill each wave of fomor and imps. Nivlakian as monk was to ideally kill the mobs that Suiram doesn't kill fast enough with his blue magic, but that never really worked out. Next time Nivlakian will be coming as black mage and we will see how things work out.
While we have almost no hope of killing Swiftwinged Gekko, that is not our goal. Winning has the potential to provide us with a star sapphire. Our assumption is that this sapphire has a much better market than the Yoichi's sash. While still worth a few million, but dismal drop rate, hopefully this will prove to be more profitable than Royal Painter Escort. Royal Painter Escort also provided us with one or two ??? boxes that could contain anything from a wool thread to automaton attachments or a Cerberus hide. We only had one worthwhile automation attachment from our first couple successful attempts. I doubt we will miss these boxes.
