Does anyone happen to know which of the T1s would be the best for farming Fern stones? Did 12 Sang Buaya today and ended up with about 20 stacks of Taupe sacks, but only a few Peluccid and Fern.
Corse T1 for ferns if you can apply a light dispel
think Selkit with wilt is pretty easy too
New Erynis Strategy by JPs:
RUN RDM SMN SMN + BST BST BST COR GEO
Need to keep up the Mewing spam to prevent its shield from going up or you won't ever hit it again.
Sorry I totally missed it ^^;
Thanks, might try corse, it's possible to silence it with enough immunobreaks too, but a little risky at low hp if it wears off. I saw a JP pup soloing this too using Victory Smites to proc it which I assume removed the mab buff too.

Starts popping out adds related to chess pieces:
7x pawns (dont ask why not 8)
2x rook
2x bishop
2x knight
1x queen
They will spawn every 30 seconds around. If you leave a pawn up for 2minutes and 30 it will turn into a Queen. The Queen has Enthrall and substantially more HP.
We used PLD/BLU WHM SCH + BLM/SCH BLM/SCH SCH COR GEO GEO
Prebuffers: BRD (INT, Marches) and SCH mule (Embrava)
First Phase:
Kill all adds as they come in with Fragmentation and Thunder MBs. Make sure PLD has hate as you don't want them moving at all. Bolster/TR and go all out. Keep Queen above 50% HP till all the pawns popped. Fealthy/Charmbuffer and kill the queen.
Second Phase:
After all adds are dead and no big accidents happened (they will happen) you should have 12-14 minutes left to finish off the main NM. Rotate Deaths, Comets with MP Temp spam and Aspir to get it down as quickly as possible. A goal to look for is 10% damage every minute. We had 2 minutes left on our kill with 12 minutes after adds.
WC did not reset Bolsters that run. None of our mages had a single piece of Amalric +1. One Idris was used. However noone derping and tight communication is needed more than ever. Took us maybe 10 tries to understand the NM and get the teamwork down.
So, is Tumult Creator the only mob remaining we don't have a first-person report of beating now?

Best try was 33%.
We are no pet LS so thats out of the window. Went the SA/TA Route. Mewing Lulaby is absolutely needed for this mob. You need to keep its windaura off at all costs. If you manage that the main mob is super tame. Tanked it with RUN/NIN to keep it's TP down. Tact/Miser, Fury/Frailty and BRD attack songs for the DDs. Had 2x THF and 1x BLU/THF doing weaponskills.
Under 50% however the adds we held got access to Calamitous Wind and wiped us from the face of the earth. So need to hold them far away from the other party and make your tank survive somehow. JPs suggested Panacea spam for the HP/MP down move so WHM can instantly cure.
More notes on Albumen:
One of our GEO came /blm and didnt have any troubles stunning Petalback Spin to avoid hate reset.
BRD needs to sleep really really soon after adds pop or they won't hesitate to allahu akbar your alliance almost immediately. I think you get maybe 10 seconds tops (this includes initial pop too.)
would a rng&cor strategy work on the wyrm?
The TP generated by TPing on it would most likely be too much even with Mew spam to lock it into "tame mode". Also it's evasion is pretty ridiculus to begin with. Every time Calamitous Wind went off from the main NM it pretty much wiped the whole main Party. A hate reset mechanic somewhere in there with Aura up as well. While in "tame mode" our RUN/NIN was able to tank it without WHM healing him at all. Using this strats the add PLD and his healer staying alive is the main issue.Would a rng&cor strategy work on the wyrm?
As a sidenote:
This was one of the most stressful fights I ever had playing COR/SMN.
Pay attention to my Mew rotation... or we fucked
Pay attention to my Rolls, try to keep 11s up... or we fucked
DO NOT BUST.. or we fucked
Quickdraw 2x after WHMs Dia II... or well not fucked but still takes braintime.
is there any reason you can't use a PLD/NIN for the main NM?
Because our Main PLD is also a Mythic THF. Edit: And RUN has ofc nice fastcast without any outside buffs.
Ya the parry also is great. Anything to keep it from using it's TP move is awesome here.
Albumen adds are NOT RANDOM OR EVEN TP BASED.
They spawn @ 28:00 and 26:00 left
EDIT: More findings as we fight
Fire sucks ass. Got it to 75% on 1 bolster instead of 50%. Might be doable with a RUN+COR constantly resetting gambit+rayke like 6 times but it's really not worth the trouble.
EDIT EDIT: Beat it
Setup:
PT1: BLM/SCH BLM/SCH BLM/SCH BLM/SCH COR/WHM GEO/RDM
PT2: PLD/WAR WHM/SCH GEO/BLM BRD/BLM
PT3: SCH/RDM SCH/RDM
Phase 1
BRD pops NT/Ele seal, sleeps right when PLD pops, then super revits. Same thing at ~28:30 then sleep right away then afk till 26:00
adds 9-12 pop, aga all the adds so they all wake up and allahu akbar you into oblivion so you can immediately start recovering.
Phase 2
Rebuff etc, swapped the SCH in for storms, the obvious shit.
BRD opened with NT/Marcato/Ele Seal and pulled with Horde Lullaby II (make sure your BRD memorizes how long their Lullaby lasts with NT+Marcato and NT+Marcato+CC) then we moved the Mandragora away from all the babies and started Gravitations alternating Death in pairs. The GEO in the tank PT popped BoG Languor for now.
As soon as possible, The COR should go into the PT with the BRD and RD'd + Super Revit RD'd again to get Marc/Ele Seal/NT back up, as well as got the GEO's BoG back for another Languor. Then at some point, The tank PT GEO did bolster malaise+languor and one of the SCHs tabula rasa'd and we just Death SC'd continuously. The BRD made sure to keep track of her Lullaby timer and told me when it had <30 sec remaining, then I ele seal Breakga'd then the BRD reapplied Lullaby with NT/CC/SV/Ele Seal for an additional 6.5min for a total of 12min. At some point the COR WC'd the BRD+1st bolster to see if they'd get it back (just in case for some reason it takes more than 12 min of fighting to kill). If bolster didn't recover then our GEOs swapped PTs and continued. The GEO/BLM can stun Petalback Spin 100% of the time with just Languor or just Focus, we only got hate reset 1 time because it did it mid-cast so it got through.
We won with like 6 minutes left?
