Best BC to get Utsusemi: Ni.

Most people who do Under Observation say that the drop rate for anything of actual value is really low. A Chram would be a nice bonus, but most of the stories from that BC are horror stories.

Personally I'd say just go with U/O because it's so damned easy to set up / do, regardless of the payoff.

The fact that it only took a little over one hour to get gear/head to BC/leave for three runs made my static in that BC really want to keep going til we all got our PCCs xD;




Another BCNM that's really easy to do (Doesn't give Utsu, but it's a decent payoff most of the time) is Celery in Qu'bia arena. I used to go do that one with NIN/BRD/WHM trio, got lots of Elusive Earrings that way.

I vote on royal jelly as well. I've done ~40 UO runs and seen all of one Ni. Aside from the 2 charms we got in that time, if I used int food(we did it as 3x blm) I almost lost gil on nearly every run... that bcnm is shit if charm doesn't drop in my experience. But maybe I'm just bitter because I have terrible luck in this game. Then again, it was stupidly easy and quick as 3x blm.
