Sleeping Ghosts

[Tadghostal]

Can ghosts (not any other undead mind you, just ghosts) be slept with Sleep/Sleep 2?

[aznmajiktaru]

yes

[Fiofio]

Fomors can be slept too, but some of them are very resistant (like the ones in Salvage).

Ghosts, Bhoots, and Fomors can be slept with dark-based sleep spells.

Please note the difference between Shadows and Fomors today! (Except Fomors in Dynamis-Beaucedine, however the Fomors in Dynamis-Tavnazia do sleep with dark-based spells)

A pimped-out RDM can sleep most ghosts easily.

[Yuri-G]

Fair enough, although I doubt that applies to anyone who has to ask the question. Then again, this IS FFXI, I wouldn't be too shocked.

[Spekkio]

ES is really only needed for fomors in my experience. i stick sleep on ghosts about as easily as i do on any other mob from what i remember. mind you i'm not exactly sleeping them every day though, so that's more a feeling than anything supported by numbers.

[Yuri-G]

Really? Is that with fully merited Enfeebling, or pimped-out Enfeebling gear like sea cape/Duelist's hat? I've always had trouble sleeping things like bats that were EP-- or even lower, and with decent gear mind you. I suppose this is what I get for answering a question based on my amazing 62 levels of RDM experience.

Edit: And hmm, do bats/ghosts/skellies all have the same level of dark resistance, or does it vary? I assumed they were all the same, but you know what they say about assuming.

I've slept plenty of ghosts on BLM, pretty maxed enfeebling set but that only makes me as good as a gimp RDM. Solo'd Apollyon NW plenty of times and slept the Ghosts on the first floor with ease.

I think Bat/Skeleton > Ghost in terms of dark resistance, and uh when you're 75 young padawan even without AF2 head/sea cape you should have little issue sleeping a bat T or lower, idk about VT+ though

Gimpy BLM can sleep ghosts, they're not a special monster when it comes to sleep. Lasts for the full duration too.

Another fun fact : Ahriman can sleep! Dynamis Xarcabard creates a big confusion with this as most people only experience ahriman in there (thanks to nobody exp'ing in Ooglyboogly range).

[Yuri-G]

Thanks guys, I always thought ghosts were the same as bats/skellies. My bad. I'm just a padawan after all, don't mind me

I'm sure naked RDM could sleep most ghosts easily. >.>

Well, I remember when I was a young RDM that ghosts did not sleep very easily, but by the time I was meriting in KRT with some extra skill I could send them to nappy-time without issue.

[Jeryhn]

If you have a Dark Staff, you can land sleep on a ghost.

Really, its that easy.
