    Xarcabard NM positions?

    Here are the relative positions for the varioius Xarcabard NMs. I don't mean map-positions. I mean where they spawn relative to their buddies on the same castle; ie. left, middle, right as you face castle.

    Thanks to all who chimed in with answers. This data helped out a lot leading a group of folks totally brand-new to Xarca through it. I wrote down the positions last run and updated them here for y'all.

    Prince Seere (whm) || Duke Gomory (mnk) || Marquis Andras (bst)
    Marquis Decarabia (brd) || Count Zeabos (war) || Duke Berith (rdm)
    Marquis Gamygyn (nin) || Duke Scox (drk) || Marquis Orias (blm)
    Count Raum (thf) || Marquis Sabnak (pld) || Marquis Nebiros (smn)
    King Zagan (drg) || Count Vine (sam) || Marquis Cimeries (rng)

    Here's what I've reconstructed from memory. I'm pretty sure I have each triplet correct, but not sure at all on the left/mid/right locations. Please correct me if I'm wrong:

    Duke Gomory (mnk) || Marquis Andras (bst) || Prince Seere (whm)
    Duke Berith (rdm) || Count Zeabos (war) || Marquis Decarabia (brd)
    Marquis Orias (blm) || Marquis Gamygyn (nin) || Duke Scox (drk)
    Marquis Nebiros (smn) || Count Raum (thf) || Marquis Sabnak (pld)
    Count Vine (sam) || Marquis Cimeries (rng) || King Zagan (drg)
    WHM MNK BST
    BRD WAR RDM
    BLM DRK NIN
    SMN PLD THF
    SASH RNG DRG (this tower confuses me always, might be wrong)

    fixed for greater justice



    3rd-5th towers are different placements though

    NIN DRK BLM
    THF PLD SMN
    RNG? SAM DRG? (i just know SAM is in the middle)

    Because your mind is focused on mentally trying to stop anything dropping from those last 3? I know I do that, doesn't work, but then again i'm stupid.

    If your mind is still focused when you reach the last tower, you're way ahead of me (and probably others, too, judging by the posts). I've done Xarca so many times, I know the snowflakes by name, but I still can't recall the positions myself. It's all a big blur. ><

    Thanks for the input y'all -- I'm going to take notes on the next run. I'll update the top article afterwards with their positions.

    Yeah, understandable mix ups though, Manaburn pops all the towers from behind. And OP just said "when facing the castle"... if you're facing to the direction Castle Zvhal is at then LW would had been right. Oh the confusion.
