Staging Points!

so i have to visit one for an Aht Urghan mission, and all 5 for BLU AF1.

cool.

Halvung:
Attempts: 1
Cleared: 1 (naked ninja)
Counts towards BLU: 0 (need to be blu when you talk to the Immortal there)
3/10: Tele'd there and got the Brand. Done.

Azouph:
Attempts: 1
Cleared: 1. 1 death, random Tractor/Raise from a PT that was fighting Imps there
Counts towards BLU: 0 (same)
3/10: Tele'd there and got the Brand. Done.

Mamool Ja:
Attempts: 1 (escorted by Batfink)
Cleared: 1
Counts towards BLU: 1 (i was BLU as i had an escort)

Ilrusi:
Attempts: 3
Cleared: 1. 11 deaths
(went with Aqaia and Tobyjuggler. stormed past the chigoes, got 1 Imp aggro that we got help with, and then Aki and Toby got lumped by Jnun and a skele in the Reef, i made it most of the rest of the way till i got hit by 5 Imps... man..)
(went again with Raziel and Centuris. 3 Chigoe Deaths - who knew they aggroed to scent? and again a wipe by an Imp, a Kraken, and Lamia No.19 in the same spot..)
(3/10. piss easy clearance of the Mire now i know chigs go by scent. dodged the Imps.
used the "Run like fuck and Reraise later" tactic which, despite costing 6 reraises and 1800 XP (including a delevel) got me the staging point. I am now officially a happy bunny. or rarab.)
Counts towards BLU: 1

Dvucca:
Attempts: 1
Cleared: 1
Counts towards BLU: 1
see, the guide i had said that to get to Dvucca Isle you needed to go through Caerdarva, through 6 screens of Arrapagho Reef, and back into Caerdarva.
You don't.
You go Nashmau -> Caerdarva WEST exit. Into the Alzdaal ruins. back into Caerdarva on the Isle. Hug the right wall.
and Bob is your uncle. so thanks to Tobyjuggler and Maea/Batfink i'm now 5/5 on the staging points.
