Pretty sure BST can solo Normal CC. Doubtful on Arch.

Honestly, all you have to do is punch stuff and kill as fast as possible, hopefully you have some DD atmas already. And worms in la theine is a good place to go at your level, at least in my experience.

Ok so I know that enhancing magic has always sucked to level, but even with B.E.W Pitaru I'm getting jack shit. Is there any way to speed this up other than sitting overnight afk spamming shit? I've been leveling this with food for almost two hours and gotten 7 levels, and the other night I was able to get close to 60 on dark and elemental magic to cap on my drk. Just seems like something is glitched.

If you have your npc levelled to 95, or know someone that does, you get *way* faster skillups casting on them than on yourself, 50+skill/hour.

If no NPC, try besieged/bastion for those npc.

**Selamis** · 2012-05-26 18:14

My NPC is probably level 45-50ish, haven't used it in years tbh, but that's good to know that helps. I will ask around and see if anyone has one that high, otherwise guess it's Beseiged for fastest skills. Thanks.

If you have your NPC bond up relatively high from back then, it's a snap to level them into the mid 80's now - you get 100 mobs/call and most of those mid levels are 30-40 mobs.

Naturally it slows down as you get closer to 95 and need to start fighting em/t to get capped XP per kill (always aim for npc level+6 mobs or higher for max) but you can cap out on I think lvl92 npc.

If you're levelling it for embrava and also have rdm|whm, the sch skill cap is at 89RDM | 93WHM, can cap out on 82 and 86 npc respectively.

Yeah, normal CC. haven't fought CC since 75 cap uh...way too long ago. Don't have any pet jobs leveled at the moment, would DD/NIN+Healer take him down if you lock his movement speed to kite him during charms? He really doesn't look that hard given all the stuff you can lock and that he can be stunned, but not a lot of detailed info post-neo Dynamis I can find so I'm just being real cautious before I waste my time and someone else's.

**Neisan** · 2012-05-26 21:50

Was really easy as trio (used 2/3 items just to be sure, could probably have gone without) only part that sucked was on first fight he opened charm and depopped...

Doesn't seem to do that too often though, was probably extreme bad luck.

**cdgreg** · 2012-05-26 22:37

Ideal set for meteor? Assuming dorje not mythic

**dasva** · 2012-05-26 23:25

Somewhat dependent (read alot more than most nukes) on what buffs you get... and outcome of new abj augments... and I think maybe even finding stuff they recently add but isn't found yet (probably legion?) but for now I'd say this

Dorje/wizzan grip /-/Ombre Tathlum
Nares/Saevus Pendant/Novio Earring/Strophadic Earring
nares/Nares Cuffs/Icesoul Ring/Icesoul Ring
Goetia Mantle/Wanion Belt/Rubeus Spats/nares

Do you need more than 8 Enhance skill on a Kirin's Pole for it to be worthwhile? And if not, how come people blow heaps of gil on Kirin's Pole + Tatters when the WotG Fay augmented Sch staff gives 8 skill?

An 11-12 Kirin's saves you augmenting earring which is potentially going to cost more than the kirin's/augments, plus saves an inv slot.

Edit:

Staff/3/-/4
10/7/0/Ear
Body/0/0/0
5/5/15/10 + 8 merits = 479 before body/staff/ear

If using Anhur, you need a 9 skill pole, or 6 + augmenting earring to hit 500 - if using enlightenment/af2+2, you have a little more room, but only 1 cast.

For Pandemonium Warden:

If you kill the lamps in the final form, do they resummon? Also, would an Aegis PLD with an MDT set survive it's Astral Flow?

Also Pankration question:

What plates are needed to make an Elemental that I can leave in the champion's chamber? Need a SHITLOAD more Jetton for my Zeni habit.

PW should be dead before AF goes off tbh.

**Darkmagi** · 2012-05-27 05:58

This depends on how many people you are bringing. I was doing PWs with around 8 characters and only 2 DDs, certainly got AFs off.

True enough.

As for Aegis pld surviving AF, I doubt it.

**Eurell** · 2012-05-27 06:10

You can survive one round, but odds are you won't be cured before the second round starts. PLDs aren't exactly priority on that last form lol.

**Dathus** · 2012-05-27 06:18

Buddy of mine was going to do it with some of his friends, and the guys who were going each have their own healing mules, IIRC. He just didn't want to have to PD zerg the last form down, and was wondering if he could survive it.

**Mairja** · 2012-05-27 07:11

PD? Don't need PD ; ;

This is my ls killing PW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBACN...hannel&list=UL

5 DDs - 3 sams, war and mnk, pld (both Aegis and Ochain), 2 brds, 3 or 4 whms, sch, thf. Some of these are mules. Had some bad luck and wiped at 2nd to last form - GoH, Thundris Shriek and 67865867 Tier4s/aga3s kinda hurt. If that happens just have someone ready to sac it to keep it from depopping until people unweaken.

If I remember right this was our 2nd fight @99, majority of us hadn't really done PW it since back at 75 cap.

**Dathus** · 2012-05-27 07:45

Wow. He gets DEMOLISHED when you actually tear into him. Couldn't quite see. PLD zombie holding him, or the RDM?
