Machina Recruiting - Updated!

MACHINA


Recruitment Status: Open

Machina recruitment has been partially re-opened as of 20 May 2016.

We are currently looking for active members to help fill out our roster for Aeonic Progression and other end-game events.

Our shell has existed in FFXI since PC launch in North America with the founding leaders/members having come across from a long stretch in Anarchy Online before that. Our current roster is filled with long-standing veterans of our shell as well as the Asura server.

We are currently using our event time for a mix of Aeonic Progression, as request nights. (Request nights are in place to ensure people are able to get any missing equipment pieces they may require)

There are a few statics in the shell also running Einherjar and assaults to complete mythic requirements. Our current schedule can be found here Machina Guildwork Schedule
The description on Guildwork is outdated, however the times are still correct


Events:
Monday and Wednesday 8pm EST to ~11pm EST
Saturday and Sunday 7pm EST to ~11pm EST

Our need is currently quite specific, so we are only opening recruitment for the jobs listed below. Our main requirement is that our members are flexible in their approach to play style.

WHM ★Master★ Must have relevant gear sets for endgame WHM playing. Must also have one of the other wanted jobs to supplement when there is no need for you to play WHM
BLM ★Master★ Must have full MB gear with Death sets. Must also have one of the other wanted jobs to supplement when there is no need for you to play BLM
GEO ★Master★ Idris only - must also have capped MB nukeing sets
PLD ★Master★ Career PLD only - Must have experience with /BLU, and also having RUN will be a huge positive
RUN ★Master★ Career Tank only - Must also have one of the other wanted jobs to supplement when there is no need for you to play RUN[/i]
BRD ★Master★ - Carn & 4 Song only. Must also have one of the other wanted jobs to supplement when there is no need for you to play BRD
SMN ★Master★ Must also have one of the other wanted jobs to supplement when there is no need for you to play SMN


When applying for one of the listed jobs, please do keep in mind that we are targeting the current end game events and we would expect any applicant to have the appropriate gear for those events.

By no means are we expecting all the top-end gear, but we are expecting applicants to have the foundation of gear sets completed.

You would also need to have access to Mumble for all our events. This is now a mandatory requirement due to the complexities of some strategies.

Feel free to PM any of the following officers on FFXIAH, Guildwork, BG or in game for any questions about recruitment.

Updated: 20 May 2016

I am interested in joining the LS. I am currently working in Alaska and unable to play at this time, but I will be back in the lower 48 around the end of August.

I only have rune fencer unlocked and leveled to 75.

Let me know the details and I'll hit you back up when I get more time away from work.

I bet you smell like fish!

We're broad minded, but not THAT broad minded.
I think we may need to review our recruitment policy regarding wonderful and exquisite animals >_<

French womem from marseille smell like fish too, yet that doesn't stop them from finding men!

It's going to be pretty hard to find some of the jobs and requirement you listed as those are probably already in a shell.

True story!


For the most part, the requirements aren't unrealistic, and like the original post says, we're not expecting you to have all high level content equipment, but you do need to be high level content ready.

Best picture ever !

It wouldn't be fair to recruit other jobs. We don't bring them to events. We could recruit them but we'd then have to say sorry you don't fit in our setup so go do something else.

What I mean is the jobs u are recruiting has some high requirements such as 4 song bard/ career paladin. No disrespect intended .

None taken, I absolutely agree, but we're looking for a certain calibre of player is all :)

We're a tight-knit group of players, and would like other easy going people that would fit well in the group.

Without any disrespect, if a fresh lv99 DRG joined us, they wouldn't be able to keep up with us and without sounding too harsh, they'd likely slow the whole group down.

I agree that brd has high requirements. The other jobs we have listed don't have such high requirements. For PLD it's not terribly difficult to make an ochain and it's ridiculously cheap and easy to make an aegis now. We're not expecting a burtgang. Also a career PLD would probably already have those two items.

I think the easiest jobs to join us on would be SCH or WHM where our only real requirements are understanding game mechanics. THF, RNG, and BLM would take a bit of work to gear but those are pretty doable and if you were a knowledgeable player and the only thing holding you back from having the right gear was vagary wins, escha drops, or skirmish runs that's something we can help with. Our GEO bar is a bit high because we already have two full time GEO in the shell and both have idris.

Thanks for explaining ^^

:) No worries, other people may have wanted to know the answer too :D

Looks like I"m satisfy your requirement!, do I get 1,999k for joining?.

LOL Chyula. We're a nonprofit organization so you would get nothing! Not even free wifi. :3

Perhaps some mildy offensive conversations form Mumble...

Shameless bump.... Still looking for members.
We're currently on a free week, with events starting back up on Saturday.

I love you guys.
