  No one uses teamwork in Mabinogi. Stackmill works wonders in this mission.

  My first time running this made me question something. How helpful would it be to have someone assigned to mining/using the crystals,while others defend/attack?
  
  My first run of Fortinbras Adv was a mess,I found myself always looking to make sure nothing was spawning too close to the NPCs. @_@

  Very useful... not only can you have it lower the DEfense of the trolls... it can also increase the hp of the civilians and add more so it ... keeps the trolls from attacking you which allows u to use them as bait.. and take care better but using 2-4 fireballers u can prob clear fortim hard pretty easy... no really... also for mages.. and alchemists.. adding a FULL set of ice does WONDERS for survivability in this.. :D
  
  also beat ADV with 6 ppl xD... main ppl doing the dmg.. were Me, Big Dave (both of us fullswinging smashing and wm'ing, and a Fireballer mage)

  Kenero would mine, Use her golems and using spark on people. We also had someone using magic music. Everyone else just tried to stay alive...

  That mission at least has the trolls that drop stuff.. Despite their gang bang, it's fun. Though during the end when massive mobs spawn I lag.. >:
  
  Crash spam from faraway + Fire elementals.

  I just failed Fortinbras Expedition Intermediate. Words of advice: Don't party with randoms.
  
  Not only do they lack knowledge of the mission, basic combat techniques and common sense they can also have variable levels of preparation and overall skill. I was OHKOing multiple trolls with Crash Shot while they did various stupid things like spam smash. I won't say that I'm entirely guiltless. My character only has 85 base HP and can't tank anything outside of transformation, which eventually led to my death.
  
  Are newbies so pampered by all of this flashy new content that they lack even the most basic knowledge of survival skills and teamwork? There was literally only one other person that was contibuting significantly to the mission (at least as much as I was) and he couldn't get the rabble to cooperate either. Considering their general awfulness, I could hardly believe that every single one had some sort of of new piece of equipment (Glory Swords, Hebona, etc).
  
  I really need a group of intelligent players from Alexina to party with.

  I like watching randoms die before my Fireball finally touches down.
  If I party with friends I don't get to see them die.
  
  
  I'd say that Windmill is the worst skill to use in this mission. It disperses mobs, making Fireball, Flameburst, and Crash Shot lose potential, and unless you're spamming potions it sends you into deadly.

  Hardmode is fun for the hell of it, but I can't survive more than 2 hits in Hardmode so basically I got to spam from afar or pet revolver to take off those aggros.
  Actually...When you have as less as around 100 base HP and like 3 DEFENSE and 2 protection, basically under 5 hits is all it takes. Multi aggro, fun for me. Fire elementals dominate when you're doing most of the work..
  
  Partying with some unknown peoplethat lack common sense is just meh.. Waste of MP pots Crash Shot spamming, and the travelling back and forth with the Avon feather is no help to restock on making pots with base herbs, and repairs as well. Partying with friends I agree, is a very good solutionbecause they actually WILL listen, and more likely going to succeed the mission as long as they have people that can help them even if they never done it before. I use most people in random parties as meat shields while Crash Shot spamming, and they don't Play Dead like the old days. D:
  
  I'd rather not watch everyone run up to everything and OHKO smash them, and not knowing their aggros. Use the teammates as like.. Meat shields or something like that while you kill from faraway or let them bait and another mill after the person has lots of them together. Windmill would probably get you killed though, what chance is there that something is not using Defense out of like.. 10 in a pile on one person that's being bait lol. Pots, unless you wanna get pot poisoned, which is not the smartest idea in the world with HP Pots. Dispersion of the mobs can be very annoying though, but I've seen people Smash splash mobs and make it even worse.. Thus, getting themselves killed, while messing another person up. It's contributing to the team so much that way.. >>
  But this mission is easy if you got a decent wide area attack + fire elementals on all equipment..And meat shields to distract the multi aggro mobs.

  What about the people that don't have Shock ? Not everyone is an Alchemist, but then again, not everyone is an Alchemist that has/wants Shock. As alternate for that..
  
  I see people Demi spamming which contributes to some of the teammates dying because of lag, because their computer wasn't meant for gaming or so. Fireball works too, since it still has a good enough range to keep you away from being aggroed by the mobs. I see reckless people still who think Smash n' kill is the way to go.

  I hate when people kill my MP and Stamina, mostly MP because I only have a limited amount of pots and a puny as heck mana pool using R1 Crash.. I end up having to do SoG Crash Shots because I know what they are about to do which is Windmill the mobs because it looks like a big pile of monsters that seems easy to kill. :D
