you dont need any healing magic if you can keep the NM silenced the whole fight.

all the 5 runs i did, the whm stayed at almost full mp.

Boil - lowers magic defense. ERASE THIS ASAP. You take double damage from spells with that one, so anything it hits you with would be death.

why was this not a meritable spell?

nvm

I find it hilarious that only 1 report is used per fight. This has led to the Dragon Talon and Behemoth Horn market being completely ruined. I guess Weskit will be easier to HQ.

I would have rather it, very good drop rates(as it is now) with everyone's report being used or a x2-3 bigger loot pool so you don't always get Dragon Talon every 5 runs and Behemoth every 2 runs.

I hate how it ruined the market. I bought my weskit for 9 mil a long time ago, and due to Dragon Talon being such a common drop, it is now 400k, with Dragon Talon costing roughly 100k.

Welcome to a free market economy.

I saw it coming, sold my weskit for 2.5mil the second after I did my first ISNM, and bought it back yesterday for 500k or so

Last time Leather got the shaft with the W.Turban. This time ISNMs take down the Weskit market.

What's gonna get it next major update? My prediction....D.Ingots. Yet another high gil, single craft synthable in extremely high demand.

Ah, I thought I recall the RDM say it wouldn't get silenced. <,<;


Dingot already is gotten by like 10-15 different things, like 3-4 HNMs, 10 different BS and KS fights. Venomous claw in the same boat, drops off I beleive 5 HNM and 1 KS thats done over and over. Both are about the same price now, and both been dropping steadily the past 6 months.

I think talon and hide were added to get people away from camping Fafnir and Behemoth... lol stoopid SE <,< ppl don't camp Faf for talon, though I know a lot of people camped Behemoth just for gil drops *cough*secure*cough*. JP that botted it for over a year just to sell hides and get a Dring usually w/o a THF for KB kills, or they had it in the tank PT or something because they never got one lol.

Thanks for the great advice everyone. Got a group together tonight and got the samue on my orders. :D

We went rdm/whm rdm/drk whm/blm war/nin mnk/nin drk/nin and pretty much just meleed it down, stunning its insta-cast and -ga3 as much as possible. It seems that even if you stun the instant cast move, it will still be given instant-cast properties. Our rdms couldn't stick silence, so I'm guessing e-seal is needed. All in all a pretty easy fight in the end.

Edit: If I was to do this in the future, I would definitely take a Blue Mage for headbutt/etc and diamondhide.

[Roxtar]

Is this ugly as sin? I would definately like one for soloing, but I'm afraid it looks like a Lizard Jerkin.

Well. Arhat. Which isn't quite as bad, but still pretty bad. Gotta wear something else fancy to make them check you.

Because S-E hates RDM and does not want them to be useful. (Hi2u 15 damage reduction Phalanx II for double the cost!)

Hey, I managed to silence it 4 times in 6 runs with /WHM. >_>

I wrote that post after our second run. :O I must acknowledge that Septimus is indeed unquestionably the shiz.
