When you go do Ifrit's, I suggest you take more people than you really need, and don't bother trying to Sneak / Invisible your way though.
Every ZM5 alliance I've gone with tries to Sneak / Invisible their way through Ifrit's Cauldron. Bombs aggro to casting. Invariably, someone's Sneak / Invis wears off at a bad spot, someone forgets oils, someone casts too close to a bomb, the alliance is spread thin, people die, and it takes forever to get where you need to go.
Instead, make sure you take at least 3 DRKs or BLMs with you for Stun. Just cut a path of destruction through Ifrit's, killing everything in sight. This keeps the alliance together, and keeps everyone safe, plus it's a good chance for skill ups. The only thing you have to watch for is Self-Destruct, but BLMs or DRKs can easily handle that with Stun. (Other melee can too, with Stun WS's if they are paying attention).
It's slower if you stop to kill everything than if you just run through with Sneak, Invis, and no aggro, but that almost never happens, and by the time you take into account the time required to kill off links, raise the poor fool who aggroed, wait for them to recover, etc., it's just as fast, and a lot more fun, to just kill everything along the way.

I did this with 6 people and was very easy to run through Ifrit's Cauldron, the fight is beyond easy.
Here is a MAP we used.

True, with fewer people, it is a lot easier to sneak through.
I just never understood why people get a large alliance together for these things, then make it harder on themselves by trying to avoid aggro. When you've got a small army coming with you, just slaughter everything.

cool guys thanks for the input and thanks for the maps unc. ill be printing these out right now @ work w00t im not wasting my ink ;D
If you guys are still doing it when I'm out of dynamis, let me know. I may be able to come help with a few of the fights. I know I'm suppose to help a few people camp nms tonight, but I'm not sure what time. No promises, but I can try to be there in between. :)
Give a /t to Kire (SAM70) and Dargonesti(PLD70) and see if either of them can go. They both need it.

What my alliance did for Ifrit was have 2 ppl run through Cauldron and everyone else meets at the zone to the jungle. Now there is a ledge there but if you just die and tractor everyone youll be fine. We did this and R3'd everyone. No one complained and actually we had alot of fun tryin to kill 8-10 65+ ppl with lizzies and gobs. XD
I wish I was at home so I could post my screenies.
I would even volunterr to be on tractor and raise 3 duty if needed. :)
YO Gonna try for tonight late @ 10-1030 central time hit me up!
I did a similar run as well Sirem. A few days later I was trying to help someone get caught up so we could finish the mission together and we did the everyone go through. The everyone go through was a pain since so many forgot their oils and powders and even if they had them, sneak and invis always go at the worst times. I think overall it was less experience loss the die/tractor method and took less time.
Another time I was helping a friend who just reached 30 unluck sam and while we were in the sanctuary someone else hit me up to help with the fight there. So I thought it'd be fun to take the level 30 whm along. I'll give him credit for trying to help cure. People complain about this mission because of how long it is, but if you go with the right people it can be a lot of fun.
