A Guide For A Fast Ludibrium Party Quest: The Modern Version ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Updates~ Date of Creation (v0.1): July 13, 2009 Moved: July 15, 2009 ~Introduction~ Yay! Ludibrium PQ is back! This is by far, one of the more fun PQs out of them all, in my opinion. However, I have gotten sick and tired of people in Ludibrium PQs that have hampered the completion of the PQ, which has basically wasted my time in getting those broken glasses! So that spurred me to make this guide (my first on basil) for the rest of the basilers to help them get their broken glasses. Enjoy~! ~Pre-PQ Information~ Requirements: Mage with TELEPORT, Thief with DARK SIGHT*, Bowman/Assassin/Gunslinger for RANGED attack, SIX party members in total all between the levels 35 and 50, inclusive. *Note: Dark sight is not a necessity anymore. If a brawler is experienced enough (and willing enough) they can use the invincibility frame of Corkscrew Blow to get past the golems in Stage 5. However, Dark sight is HIGHLY recommended, as it will be much faster. I would assume that you guys already know the PQ is located in Eos Tower: 101st Floor, and you click the stop sign in order to enter the PQ. The time limit for this PQ is 60 min. If you and your party members follow this guide, you will have 15-20 min PQ's, depending on your luck in Stage 8. My personal fastest is 18 min...but the stage 8 combination was inauspicious. Other than that, I'm usually stuck with idiots. My Recommendation for a Party: ~1 Cleric ~1 Fighter (w/ rage) ~2 Assassins (preferably w/ haste) ~1 Bowman/Crossbowman ~1 Brawler/Bandit I/L mages are also nice for their mobbing with Thunderbolt. But do not waste TOO much time trying to find the perfect party as people will get impatient and just leave. *READ* Do NOT be biased against lower level maplers (ex. Lvl 35-40) as they may be more experienced than those higher level ones. I�m not saying get all lvl 40-, because that would be just plain dumb. I�m saying don�t just suddenly leave the party all because a lvl 39 joins the party and you think that they are inexperienced. More than likely, they will have done this PQ before with another account. Since Ludibrium PQ has gone �popular� again due to the desire for those dang broken glasses, most likely all the channels will be FULL. So channel surfing will most likely be a waste of time, unless you are playing in the dead of night (PST). So, veterans, do you guys remember when we actually had to track for this PQ? This will help a lot in finding a channel. So�when you first log in to do this PQ, go to Ch 1. There will be a bunch of people saying �J>PQ@@@@� What you have to do is right click those people, then click on SAVE NAME. Then, open up your BLACKLIST (yes I said blacklist, if you do not know what it is, open up your buddy list and click on the blacklist tab). Press �Add� and then CTRL+V to paste it. Then press OK and you have saved his/her name. Repeat until there is no one new left in Ch 1 or until you r

The perfect PQ obstructed by incompetent fools who either remain AFK or simply cannot understand.

JMS is 17 258 3469. Time would be more of 10-20 minutes. I've gotten a 13:37 time. Last time I checked, stage 1 was 2100 exp, 2: 2520, 3: 2940, 4: 3360, 5: 3770, 6: none, 7: 4620, 8: 5040, crack: 5950

i remember lpq with "CLIIIICK" and "OMFG LAST LAST LAST LAST LAST" and seeing alishar was extremely satisfying :D Thanks for this guide, it's the best pq guide I've ever seen.

You can't really compare the EXP we gain from healing with the EXP gained from monsters I do both, both healing and attacking Healing, because I want to ( goes on moral ) Attacking, because I also want EXP, and the rombot/Alishar will die faster regardless of my damage ( something is better than nothing ) Other than that, really great job =].

Ehh i guess i agree with that dying faster, but see, in a lot of my PQs, my party members die (i don't know why) and healing them and keeping them alive can take out Alishar faster than if they die. but i guess it just depends
