Nearly a year later in August of 2006, I attempted one of the Promyvion areas again. Take a look at the screenshot and tell me if you recognize anyone. That’s right; you’re seeing Coldwind and Jedimasta before they were famous. Well, we got all the way to the burning circle fight at the end and died. I decided that it would be a long, long time before I tried one of them again.
Exactly one year and twelve days later: It’s the night of August 20, 2007, and Amiyumi is asking if anyone wants to try a Promyvion. I was bored and agreed. Soon, I would learn that it was a horrible decision. Both of my previous Promyvion attempts were at Dem, so I was hoping maybe Mea would be easier. As I often am about fights, I was very very wrong. We made it to the burning circle fight with little incident, only to be trashed twice before I had to head off to get some sleep. We got the NM down to about 15% hp, but as with most things on FFXI, that was more than enough to kill us all easily.
Now, as some of the linkshell knows, I use mules to make the majority of my money for me. It isn’t very fast since elementals ores can be a bitch to grow, but after four or five months I’ll have a couple million gil to spend on gear and gimpy linkshell mates. After this Promyvion experience, I wonder if this isn’t SE’s way to get back at me for having found a way to make money that doesn't involve fighting the RMTs for NMs. As the Promyvion areas are level capped, I cannot simply buy my way though them. I gladly would if I could, though. I suspect SE knows this, and will never see fit to allow me access to the Tavnazian Archipelago.

it never really gets any better, only worse
You are either really really unlucky, or you are really bad at your job. You can forget about clearing later stages where you have to fight 3 promyvion nms in one BC.
