I am one of those people that made a lot of use of Trance out in RPs as a Summoner, with pretty much all the ARR primals(except Odin), and I've been one of those that did a lot of Trance at Runestone. I have sometimes thought about how many of the other primals coul;d maybe be drawn as Trances. But to me, Alexander is simply beyond us. We can't use him as Trance, much less as an Egi and for a very simple reason. Alexander SEALED itself in time. Meaning: Alexander isolated itself in such a fashion that you can no longer reach him in any possible manner. Yes, we can still see Alexander out in the Dravanian Hinterlands, but if you look at the bubble, everything(water included) is frozen in time. Nothing goes in or out anymore. Therefore to me, Alexander is a primal that can no longer be summoned. Simply because he's already summoned(meaning you can't summon a copy) and Summoners can't draw on his Egi or Trance with him because there's no Alexander aether to attune to.

Hello! I had been interested by this LS when I first saw about it on tumblr, and I was wondering if I could join. My playtime at the moment is a bit wonky, but I can probably be online at specific times if requested for invitations.

Any updates or changes that happened to the event lately? You don't seem to have update after last Sunday, which I presume would have been the time an event would take place.

Omg, I'm so happy to see that kind of event coming back again. I loved doing the Sacramentum because it had a huge element for my character's RP progression. But now I'm really sad because your event is set on a time where I can't come, because I'm raiding during that time, not to mention that at 8pm, there's the weekly Runestone event that I always attend, making it a bit harder for me to really think of coming. I guess it would probably be too much to ask to switch on Saturday or something like that? I know that on Saturdays, Grindstone is at 10 pm, so there would be plenty of time for people to participate in your RP, then go to Grindstone. But I can't blame you if you can't put it at another time anyway. Though if it was possible to change, you'd be able to have a Summoner that would be regularly coming, and would also be able to offer out insight and information on whenever another primal might be surging again. On another note however, while your event seems fine as it is, you might want to add up a few notes, mainly about tempering. After all, you can't really just try to go fight a primal without some kind of protection against tempering. And not everyone might have the Echo ICly. I remember that for the Sacramentum event, people either had the Echo, or were wearing clothes to fully cover their skin, but were also enchanted so it'd be aetherically sealed. Basically anything to make sure that your body would be aetherically sealed so that the primal cannot flood you with its aether.

Well, I personally would like a return or revival of the Sacramentum event, or basically a 'primal hunt' event of some sort. The Sacramentum was basically an RP event where a group of people would gather up to go defeat a revived primal(usually on Extreme difficulty, and unsynched). Of course dealing with a primal meant you had to be protected from tempering. Either you could have the Echo, or you'd need to be fully clothed in a way to aetherically seal yourself(or some other similar shielding). The event kept going for a while until last Christmas where it went on break, but when it came back, it was like, barely enough people paid attention to it again. I'd kinda want that event to happen again, as it helped do some nice RP progression for my Summoner character.

So, in case some people weren't aware, back during Valentines Day, Togy Brandmakt(or more often ICly known as Mister Mask) had brought us a really silly, though hilarious combat style during that week's Runestone tournament. Sadly it seems people weren't able to record it, but tonight, he brought that silly love style again, and I happened to have been able to 'record' the fight. Here it is! ((In-character presentation during everyone's introduction)) [20:03]Togy Brandmakt: "I AM MR MASK! AND TONIGHT! I SHALL USE THE POWER WE ALL HOLD DORMENT!" With that, a pink heart would appear underneath him, a beam of light moving from his feet to his head, as he strikes a few outrageous poses, before he would finnaly stop, in full pink garb and mask "WITH THE POWER OF LOVE I WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Some strange theme music plays in the background. He's probably fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, never running from a real fight. He is the one called Mr. Mask! ((Facing up vs Vahn Kasch)) [20:11]Togy Brandmakt: Shhh.. I'll go easy on you baby. [20:11]Vahn Kasch: I'll headbutt you. ((Initiative roll)) [20:12]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 582. [20:12]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 5. (((Combat starts)) [20:12]Togy Brandmakt would smirk, before flirtatiously blowing a kiss at Vahn, which would turn into a heart "Chyuu~" [20:13]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 33. [20:13]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 567. [20:13]Vahn Kasch eye would twitch. Raising a hand up he'd snap, sending an explosion of fire under Togy's feet. [20:13]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 495. [20:15]Togy Brandmakt would notice that the power of love was a curious thing. It makes one man weep, and another man sing. But it doesn't stop fire. Pity. LUCKILY his shell did that and the first layer would break. He would counter, with what he knew! Three sassy snaps in a z formation, sending aether hearts at Vahn. Sassy hearts. [20:15]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 109. [20:15]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 415. [20:16]Vahn Kasch would mock his z snap, and do the same, only three balls of fire would shoot towards him, why is he doing this point blank? [20:16]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 128. [20:17]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 446. [20:18]Togy Brandmakt would also like to mention that Love can change a hawk, to a little white dove. Move than a feeling... "THAT'S THE POWER OF LOVE!" And with that, he would hold his hands up, to make a little heart shape with hands... which would for some reason make a MASSIVE HEART SHAPED BEAM. To destroy Vahn's whimpy attack, and move onward. [20:18]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 804. [20:19]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 602. [20:20]Vahn Kasch eye twitched once more, his barrier breaking to the beam. "Why are you doing this.." He would stupidly question as he snapped, three large orbs rising from his person and shooting towards Togy. "Eat my balls?" [20:20]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 575. [20:20]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 602. [20:22]Togy Brandmakt would hold a sassy finer up "B'escuse me?!" He would shout, his aether stopping the balls in the air, before they would slowly morph, to large, pink hearts. That would slowly float towards Vahn. Were.. those fireballs now.. fluffy? [20:22]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 595. [20:22]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 752. [20:23]Vahn Kasch tilted his head to the side, snapping a wave of fire would take out the hearts and envelope in a tornado like plume around Togy. [20:23]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 479. [20:23]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 520. [20:25]Togy Brandmakt couldn't explain all the feelings that Vahn was making him feel. His heart was in overdrive and Vahn was behing the steering wheel. "Touching yyooouuu~.. Touching mmeeeee~.. Touching you, twelve you touching meee!~" Masked believed in a thing called love, and because of that, the rhythm of his heart would disrupt the fire tornado, turning it all into little aether hearts. AN AETHER HEART TONADO! AIMED AT VAHN! [20:25]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 373. [20:26]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 999. [20:28]Vahn Kasch would stomp his foot, another plume of fire shooting towards the heart tornado? Raising his hand in the air he'd slam it to the ground, a rune appearing beneath Togy and exploding. [20:28]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 649. [20:28]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 697. [20:29]Togy Brandmakt would pout, cutly I might add, at the denyal of his heart tonado. HE would scuff his foot on the ground, actually fucking up the Rune Vahn had summoned, making the spell not fire, before he would go back to square one. Crying. CRYING TEARS OF LOVE! HEART SHAPED PINK TEARS THAT WOULD FLUTTER TOWARDS VAHN! [20:29]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 405. [20:30]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 150. [20:31]Vahn Kasch would curse. "Oh gods damnit." He'd mutter as the shield broke, why because fucking Togy. He would hold both hands out and snap, a large fiery dragon would shoot out, wrapping itsself around Togy as it roared, sending a beam of fire down on the man. [20:32]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 263. [20:32]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 18. [20:34]Togy Brandmakt would look up at the dragon, meeping quietly as the blast of fire would engulf him, and break his second shell, before the dragon would burst in a bright pink light. Dear god, the man had a fucking pink aura around him, as he would gather all his love magic, bringing both hands up to his lips and blowing another kiss at Vahn, with all the love his had! "CCHHYYUUUU~" [20:34]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 690. [20:34]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 855. [20:35]Vahn Kasch would flail, waving his hands as he 'pushed' the 'kiss' away. Snapping once more he would.. send a flaming heart towards Togy. [20:35]Random! Vahn Kasch rolls a 964. [20:35]Random! Togy Brandmakt rolls a 944. [20:36]Togy Brandmakt would fail some "NNUUUU~!" as the flaming heart would slam into him, breaking the last shell. Well, least he wasn't sticky this time. [20:36]Vahn Kasch: See, I know you Mask. [20:37]Togy Brandmakt: You never let me have any fun. [20:37]Vahn Kasch: That wasn't fun for you? [20:37]Togy Brandmakt: Sshhhh [20:37]Vahn Kasch: At least it didn't end the way it did last time. [20:37]Togy Brandmakt: Yeah, least I'm not sticky. [20:39]Togy Brandmakt: Well.. go on then.. win.. [20:39]Vahn Kasch: Worth a try. ((I can assure assure you that the last performance he spoke of back on Valentines Day had been far far sillier than this one...mostly because his opponent fought back pretty much in the same way ))

It's basically on the beach in Mist, so it's not really hard to figure out where to go. And about half an hour before the first Spellguard event start!

I've still been interested in this, it was just on break for so long I stopped checking regularly. Sad to see I missed it though, randomly decided to stop by this morning and see what's been going on. You didn't miss it. The Shiva event was cancelled and since then, there has been no update at all on this thread. I fear this event is basically over.

I mentioned Ifrit/Titan/Garuda as being weaker but it's only because they were summoned normally in the MSQ, which is where level-locked job quest Egis come from. If your character was ICly involved in a Hard or Extreme fight against them, there's no reason you couldn't use Inferno/Molten/Vortex Trance or something... At least in theory. Well the main reason why the WoL isn't using a Trance from another primal is mainly that we were given access a Trance linked to BAHAMUT, who is way stronger than the other normal primals. With the power of the Dreadwyrm Trance, does it really makes it worth trying to use Trance with another primal? Well, it might give a certain 'variety', but in sheer power, the Dreadwyrm Trance is most likely the strongest.

Some people actually even RP as if they were using an Egi of another primal. I know at least one person that uses a Leviathan-Egi, and my character has often made use of other primals to perform Trance.

This definitively looks like a fun and neat variation of the RP fighting tournaments that are around. I would definitively want to try it out! Judging from the posts added, it seems an Arcanist or Summoner could pair up with its own familiar as a 'team', though I think I'd rather prefer doing it with someone else. Still, very interesting idea!

Hello, I'm making this post here because there is something I wanted to do for a long time, but unfortunately, certain circumstances caused me to try on my own. It's basically that my character's progression in terms of her skills with summoning magics has been basically at a standstill for a very long time now, and I would really like to make some new progress, and by that, I would like my character to attune to some new primals she never dealt with before. She has already attuned to the main six ARR primals, along with Odin and Good King Moogle Mog, mostly thanks to the Sacramentum RP, and I would like my character to be able to attune to other primals. One way she dealth with doing her attunement to a primal's essence was to conjure a 'shade' of a primal's power, usually drawing from a location that is elementally aligned to the primal in question. Then my character, along with others would basically perform one of the trial fights, usually do them on Hard Mode unsynched as a way to demonstrate that we're facing something that doesn't carry the full power of the primal(unlike Sacramentum that dealt with a true primal with the fight on Extreme instead). Now then, what I would like to do for my character is that she could attune to Bahamut(and possibly Pheonix just for the heck of it). And for that, it would obviously require to draw forth a shade of Bahamut in a fitting location. While my character is aware of the massive lingering presence of Bahamut's power spread all over Eorzea, she doesn't know which primal it belongs to. She also knows that this essence also seems stronger at certain points, namely, the locations of the Binding Coils of Bahamut. So the plan would be for her to organize a small expedition to enter one of those locations in hopes of reaching a place of focus where she will be better able to draw forth the shade into a battle. Obviously the Coils in Mor Dhona and Eastern Thanalan are inaccessible, the one in North Shroud has its entrance camouflaged, and my character wouldn't be aware of the Wood Wailers having found an entrance at the behest of Alisaie Leveilleur during her quest to uncover the truth of the Calamity. Meaning the 'easiest' Coil to access would be the one in Vylbrand, or in Eastern La Noscea, at Castrum Occidens to be more exact. It's a bit difficult to say though how strong the Garlean outpost is now, though I would guess it wouldn't exactly be as strong as it used to be lore-wise, due to how the Eorzean Alliance's success with Operation Archon. Nevertheless, my plan for the RP expedition would basically to do Tier 1, 2, then 4, 5 and then 12 and 13(fights vs Pheonix and Bahamut). Mainly skipping 3 just because it could be a bit long and labyrinthian to do. The idea behind that path is basically that the group would enter the Coil, face any remaining Allagan defenses that are still within the place until they reach the bridge of the Allagan ship in the coil, where she'd perform the spell to draw forth the primal shade(s) and face them there. So, I wonder if I would be able to get people interested in doing this. I took a lot of time thinking about if this makes sense, if it's possible, so to speak, and not just on if an Au Ra Summoner can attune to Bahamut. What are your thoughts? Do you think I could manage to make an RP event for this? And at what time would I have to set the event?
