If anyone wants to know the steps for the Aeonic weapons, they're in this spoiler:

Don't know if it has been said before, but the dragons in Escha/Reisenjima do not count for mob nor NM count.
Their adds do count for mob tally thou.
Getting asked how I managed to clear Golden Kist so easily, so did a video demonstrating how easy it is. It's a 100% win even if you die as long as you land 1 Death and 1 Helix2 that aren't resisted and wait for it to tick down after reraising, but super fast/safe if you get a 2nd Death off. Bolster is also not necessary, but used so I didn't have to spend extra time going through BoG routine and worrying about using clerics to take poison off.
Maju Mauler. All current Reisenjima NMs defeated and Teles didn't pop on KI list, so it's definitely a HELM NM or not actually added to the game yet.

About Teles, tried to get the KI with stuff from chests and NMs, didnt expect much, cause i kinda think itll be like escha ru aun, where they are added later.
Well, i tried trading different combinations of void crystal, void grass, voidsnapper, bamboo stick, azuki beans, bamboo shoots and hydrangea.
Tried all combinations of 7
Tried all combinations of 6
Tried most 5s including all void items, but i probably missed a few bamboo combinations and hydrangea
Tried most 4s including all void items and hydrangea, probably missed a tiny amount of the others.
Tried a lot of 3s, did all void/hydrangea
Tried a lot of 2s (didnt have much hope to begin with anyway)
Tried all singles
Nothing.
Odyssean chestplate and Merlinic jubbah from Maju. That confirms all body drops.

Had quick tries on the T3s. Killed Yakshi, close on Neak. But you have any tips for Neak? Couldn't really make a dent.
I can pay you with a fun story tho:
Fighting Yakshi for the first time.
"Oh this absorbs buffs..."
"Woops we fully buffed our PLD"
"....wait.... our PLD ate Miso Ramen, too"
Fighting Yakshi with an EXTRA 50 Magic Evasion wasn't fun at all and kind of impossible.
Can someone update the BG wiki to have Golden Kist drops Valorous feet, Sabotender Royal drops Odyssan Helm and whoever drops Herculean helm? I'm guessing its Zduhac
Can also solo Golden Kist on SCH with some trusts, not the easiest but as long as you magic burst a noctohelix 2, and a kaustra and try to live as long as you can for the kaustra to do some work. If/when you die you just get up and resummon/buff trusts and wait till helix wears or you unweak to engage again. Probably an absolute joke SCH+GEO.
If you survive till at least 50% and put a fresh unresisted helix MB back on before you die, its probably a guaranteed win, albeit not pretty.
In case anyone was curious what the Merlinic Jubbah looks like on a taru...

So ascended frog can use frog chorus and damn if that move doesn't have a range. I've been hit at 20 away so yeah.
Soloing Oryx on BLU, most of the fight really isn't too bad. However, on my first fight while I managed to break its horn no prob with CDC twice, after those two I never could get it to break again. The Wiki states having to do a critical WS from the front, and I can guarantee that several of those critted directly in its face, as my damage spiked from about 3-4k (with horn and thus 50% DT up) to about 6-7k.
Has anyone else had a hard time breaking its horn?
I had Zeid II break it earlier while i was soloing it on SCH only for it to instantly put it back up, erasing a bunch of stuff i had on it at the same time. But yes, its always been awfully painful to break an ixions horn, really not suprised it still is. I just killed it without ever bringing it out of -DT and lived with the sadness.
I wasn't around back in the days of camping old Ixion (I joined late ToAU era) so I wasn't aware of the racial horn hardness. Thanks for the tip, I'll just wreck its face from the side then.
Forgive my ignorance, but what does soldier's drink do exactly?
When i first tested it on an NM I assumed it was like Rayke, because Ejiin and I both did MBs higher than 60k on an ilvl 140 mob. But I think it is a damage +50% for a 10 second window. I'll have to do more testing to confirm this.
EDIT: I just went and tested it 5 times, and it's damage +30% on the next damage dealing action.
For groups mage burning beads/stones, I've found Bugard to be the weakest to magic by far. With just malaise and acumen it dies in 2 MB'd nukes every time from a BLM doing Blizzaja>Blizzard6. We managed to do 36 or so in 1 hour with 6 characters.
