Our RNG had wandered off, and our BLM was undecided on a body. Did the fight in about 20 minutes with PLD/RDM, RNG/SAM, COR/RNG, RDM/DRK, WHM/SCH, BLM. BLM was there to stun and kill the clones. I had the RNG stand over to the right side; there's enough room to stay 17' away, and that way I could give people separate buffs. Our WHM had some random glitch at the start where he was not exactly in the party, so it took us a few minutes to sort that out.

I got a Brocade Obi with 12 MP and 2 pet m.acc, and a Spinel Earring with 2 accuracy. The Spinel will be good for any melee-type jobs from 67 to 74, if I don't have a BRD and/or they can't wear assault earring. Not sure about the obi; doesn't seem awesome for my current jobs, and I only planned to get SMN to 66 if that.

I couldn't even recast Phalanx, was getting drawn-in every 2 seconds, only 2 spells I was able to cast were Flash and Dispel lol..

Overall it wasn't bad with -50% MDT, reg hits were around 50-60, with Seed of Judgement never going over 400 damage.

Holy HELL, this mage body is ugly as all fuck...

I had a BST, whenever his pet was in range, Crystal would no longer draw-in and just focus on the pet, giving 2 minutes+ to reapply buffs.

Guess it works the same with an Avatar.

OK got 1 question...
If you redo the mission again from the beginning (is this possible?), then how can you make use of the prismatic key? Is getting the similar type of body from the 1 you chosen before is possible?

I can't answer for sure, but it'd seem likely that you would only get an ebon key the second time if you hadn't thrown away your original body. You can't get 2 body pieces, but you can throw one away and get the same one back with different augments if that's what you're saying though

[Flippant]

I think what SE was trying to do with these missions was to encourage people who have completed them or aren't interested in them to help others with the missions by allowing them to benefit in other ways (via keys). This ensures people won't get severely left behind, as in CoP missions, where everyone hates those and never wants to relive the nightmare.

I believe that each mission that produces the option of a key has some way of re-obtaining that key each day. Recollecting the Yagudo/Orc/Quadav seeds, recollecting the Goblin food key items and re-running around Fei'yin chasing a moving target has been proven to provide these keys each JP midnight thus far. This should mean that, yes, Ebon key can be re-obtained (though I assume this is only if you re-climb the tower and obtain Omnis Stone again first, thus the explicit notes on having to fulfill requirements of the mission in order to receive your reward). Mandragoras should be re-poppable as well, by re-obtaining the goblin food key items, popping the goblin NMs for the seeds again and returning to Qufim. I've gotten the food items again, going to try to repop Goblin NMs and Mandragoras again tonight. Lastly, one should also be able to receive another Ivory key from the Beastmen BCNM as long as they run around collecting the items in Fei'yin and choose Mark of the Seed again.

It should be noted that you cannot obtain the Fei'yin (Azure) key and the Fei'yin BC (Ivory) key on the same day (since you must choose between the key or Mark of the Seed). I also suspect there is some sort of similar restriction between the Goblin (Viridian) key and the Mandragora (Amber) key; however you can obtain an Amber key from someone elses' pop, even after obtaining Viridian for the day (someone in LS got Viridian key, then did mission with someone who didn't and popped the Mandragoras, received the Amber key after killing Mandragoras, but could not get the next cutscene nor could pop the Mandragoras himself). I intend to also test this out (farming key items for a friend right now and we should be able to each pop Mandragoras).

As for Prismatic key--I believe that can only be re-obtained if an ACP body is not in your inventory, either when you collect the stones/Omnis Stone or when you defeat the BC.

Yay for a good RNG TP body.

PLD/RDM, RNG(me), WHM, RDM, BLM, SMN.

Fairly easy, no deaths. BLM was primary stun for much of it, with me and the BLM killing off the clones. Stacked stun between RDM and BLM towards the end to avoid resists messing up the tank. Tank only charmed once, but didn't create major issues.

Also, hi-potion, Malboro fiber, Diamond from keys the keys. So trash

[Flippant]

Nevermind, wasn't able to repop the Goblin NMs myself. It might be because I already got a Viridian key for the day (even though I refarmed the goblin foods), so I'll check again tomorrow, but so far seems Mandragora can't be repopped (can only get key again by helping other players with the mission).

[Onorgul]

I was able to pop the Goblin NMs today and repeat the Mandragora battle. Got Amber key and 500 XP, just as before. Mythril Ore from the key. -.-

Victory !!

Who is this directed to? ;x Lol.

[Sqwunk]

We just cleared, 1/2 for me 1/3 for some others, 1/1 for a couple others in the group. Took us 19 minutes. Paladin got charmed at 11% and we thought we were going to lose. Both rangers ran down and did as much damage as they could while still running away, me on cor/rng shooting as fast as I could and our BLM did Manafont.

His AM2s were hitting for about 300-400 damage, pld uncharmed at 1%, then we barely managed to kill it off. We had a few hate issues with the 2 rangers doing too much damage from shooting.

Couple people ran off to do other things instead of sticking around for the picture.

[edit] The earring I got is similar to the Topaz posted in the previous page. Def+2, Pet Def +3. Then I got a vile elixer and a Petrified log. I'm going ot say that since I was on cor instead of drg, and I still got an earring with a pet augment on it, that it's probably just completely random.

[Aurara]

Thing is a fucking beast. got it to 35% or so, kept bio2 on it whole fight and rngs+smn was dmg pretty solid. rdm was our only healer, and it was 2boxed :<

[Trigun]

Myself went 1/2. Second group was...

PLD/RDM (he had that lance and ram gear)
BLM
RNG
WHM
SMN
RDM/DRK (me)

PLD kept running to side, WHM did WHM stuff SMN RNG and BLM nuked main + adds, I sat there and stunned every -ga, BLM was backup for me.

What pieces do you use for your 6-hit with that thing now? I was thinking of doing same as you for my SAM but I was having second thoughts.
