Challenge: 5 Minute De Ragan C

[Fran]

I wasn't sure if anyone had gotten a 5 minute De Ragan C run before. My high level friends had all told me it was impossible, and after hundreds of runs leveling up my mission points, having never gotten lower than 6 minutes, I believed them. However today I finally did it (three times http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif).

Its almost entirely luck based, depending on what spawns you get, and what your class makeup is. From my observations here is what I found:

- Two Fortetechers are needed, and they'll spam Gidiga (must be 11+) the entire time except for on De Ragan, where they spam Diga.
- At least one Fortegunner is needed, because the DPS from grenade launchers makes the De Ragan fight just that much shorter.
- Two Fortefighters is reccomended. It helps if they're using two handed swords with high level PAs.
- We had no one above level 50, and even had a level 13. Class make-up is more important than level requirement for this.
- You *must* leapfrog, and the fortetechers should never have to open a door. Leave it to the hunters or rangers.

- If you get the birds anywhere during the random spawns your chances of breaking 6 minutes drastically goes down.
- If De Ragan flies during the fight, you probably won't get 5 minutes.


My challenge is, can anyone get a 4 minute De Ragan C? Or even 3 minutes? I'm sure what we did is nothing special and for all I know this is what some teams get all the time, but I just thought I'd share :3.

one time me n some freinds got a 4 min run but we had to repeatthe run countless time but tht was long time ago.

[ljkkjlcm9]

uhm, well you could have just taken a screen of the cap afterwards. You prolly got the higher end of 5 minutes. I really don't see what the big deal is. I'd rather do Mizuraki Defense S once in 15-20 minutes

I'd rather do Lab S in 7 minutes http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif "Yes we have pics and a video" With S rank for 43 points http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

2 casts and Deragan itself is history in seconds.. =P
would be fun to try to get 4 mins.

[Itsuki]

We used to run De Ragan A in 7 minutes, I imagine thats not too different from De Ragan C in 5 http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[Dj_SkyEpic]

XD I seen you around before!`
Hmm.. It took us about 7 mins each run only because we were all lvl 14s and lower XD

Nice job !~

[ljkkjlcm9]

I personally hate Parum, and never go there, probably because EVERYONE is there. So I've never actually done Lab S

[Esufer]

I just did it a few times in a row in under 5 minutes. =D

And you hate Parum... because people are there?

So, if you hate a location because there are people there, why are you playing an MMO? O_O

Just seemed a bit odd.

[Zio]

considering how overleveled you are for that area.. grats?

[-Ryuki-]

I'll do you better. My time, WITHOUT a party. One is with an NPC (just one), and the other is flatout alone.

No, I hate that it's where everyone is, and they won't go anywhere else. Ever make a party there, do like 5 de ragan runs then say, let's go to Neudaiz. They all go hell no, we only do de ragan. It's retarded!

[Pinecone]

im now doing it alone with a lvl 15 person and i got 7 minutes as well mitsunari http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif but im on ps2 so i cant take screenies to prove http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[-Ryuki-]

Maybe I just hold the best time for Human FF =P

[Garnet_Moon]

With a sloppy party I can get De Ragan A down to 9 minutes. With a good one, probably half that. x_X

Ahhh. I get you now. I thought you just didn't like other players. XD

I know someone that locks all their games because they don't want to play with anyone. Ever.

Why don't they just play extra mode!?

[Pinecone]

you know, theres also the distinct possibility that in order to actually be antisocial they had to get online so they could make the active descision to ignore other people.

[Gen2000]

5 min is like average De Ragan C time with a party nowadays starting at lv.30. Most can solo it in 6-7 min when they were lv.40, it was a big deal a few months ago but not now.

Edit: Pointless but I saw your game on the Mission List earlier today.
