Instance kicks off, there' 4 carts with a GLA npc at each. Starting at the entrance to the area, there's three lines of three ARC npcs. The ixali break through the front gates and start coming in waves of 2-6 mobs at a time, all lvl55. They immediately rush the ARC npcs, killing them until they've defeated all three in the front line, then moving on to the next line. When all 9 ARCs are dead, they start attacking the carts. Lose all four carts and you lose the game. Last long enough, and the boss NM will come out. Kill him for the win.

BUT THE EXCITEMENT DOESNT STOP THERE

This is the battle instance that involves ALL classes. There's a box standing by a fire. If you enter as a level 45+ crafter, you can click the box, and get a list of buffs:

Defense and Evasion
Attack
Regen
Enmity Reset

Select one, get the material, craft the item, and turn it into the quartermaster npc. This causes all NPCs to be temporarily buffed. You can't stack multiple of the same buff, but you can have the first three buffs up at the same time. Enmity reset is useful when the NM is attacking your carts. Reset enmity, and it sends all the mobs back to the front line(assuming you still have a front line).

And don't think gatherers have been left out, oh no. Gatherers can run around picking up humours from pots spread through out the instance. Combine the humours in the correct color combinations to achieve these fabulous debuffs:

3 Blue pots (Phlegmatic humours) = decreased hp (poison) for all enemies
3 Pink pots (Sanguine humours) = decreased attack for all enemies
3 Green pots (Melancholic humours) = sleep on some enemies
1 of each color pot = Emnity Reset.

So far no decent rewards, but the fights have been fun. I've done more runs as GSM than BLM or WHM at this point and quite enjoyed it. Right now, we've been working on the all DoH/DoL achievement, and its quite the challenge.

I have no idea how we're going to convince a group of 8/8 LS people to do this over Garuda though.

Cause it's got some pretty sweet gear drops, and it only happens once every 2 days. I don't think it's too much to ask people do something different every couple days.
