So dont feel like reading 25 pages for a simple question: Does souleater not work on the final bc? (has high magic resist on wiki, is it physical damage reduction on the mob or just high defense..) Also is there a seed crystal approx hp?

[Valisk]

Doesn't work. Builds resistance to Souleater.

[Uubu]

thanks!

How exactly do you go about redoing the missions for the keys? Do you just... go out and start killing stuff again? or have to get a CS, talk to an NPC?

edit: Well I guess you keep those goblin key items, so I just had to run and could pop the NMs already.
edit2: I knew about the goblin in port jeuno, but didnt really know how he worked until now. I had the goblin key items left over from the previous run through of the missions, turned those in for a key, and then I think I have to wait a day before I can pop the mandys? I also got the seed drops from the 3 beastmens.

You pretty much need to replay through the missions exactly like you did getting to the BCs.

For example, if you want the Ebon key again you need to climb Delkfutt's Tower from 1-12 capped then beat the BC.

its like re-doing the missions

kill goblins > mandy > 1 key (However it is believed to just kill goblin, and talk to some goblin in jeuno to get a "weaker" key)

Get 9 seeds in fei'yin to get a key, or take the mark of seed, win the BC to get a "better" key

final key will require to reclimb tower and win the final BC

tbh, finishing mandy and feiyin bc and final bc will net you better items (not sure about mandy key, but fei'yin bc key will net you lvl 67 earrings, and final bc will net you lvl 72 rings)

1/1 win in under 20 minutes. Setup was PLD/WAR, SMN/WHM, SAM/RNG, RDM/DRK, BLM/RDM, WHM/SCH.

Picked Nuevo Coselete with typical PLD stats (Fast Cast/Enmity) even though my PLD is level 20... Nothing appealed to me for any of my other jobs and I really wanted the Coselete for looks. :\ Gives me a reason to level PLD! Dying to finish it after RNG anyway.

[Stubwub]

Ugh, I just cannot beat this damn final BC. I always wipe at the end due to MP issues. Cant find any RDM/DRK to do this either. It seems like no one wants to fight the damn crystal again, and any RDMs that are left are taken by the zerging pts.

3 times now I've gotten it below 20% and wiped. Raging so hard right now.

Guess I suck for needing one job so damn bad just to win a stupid BC. -_-

no way! im sure many people want to fight this on a daily basis

keep trying ^^

Timed out at 8% due to MP issues.

New tip: bring at least 1 yag drink per person, and key members should have a hi-ether of some sort.

The Rdm getting low made the Smn have to start curing me, I'm a retard and didn't suggest the Nin /Drk for stuns, so we just ate the -ga's, really aren't too bad.

It just ground to a halt though, too much mp being used as soon as it recovered to heal me, and not damage the thing.

Bring drinks/ethers/etc.

MP wasn't a problem at all. Just manage it better.

[Aurara]

fucking finally. god fucking dammit. 1/7 with a wipe 1% during a zerg because of fucking charm....jesus christ i hope SE dies in a fire.

You mean the challenge didn't make you appreciate the value of your 10 dollars spent Aurara?

[Aurara]

It made me want to club babies and toss their mangles bodies at SE's HQ with cardboard signs saying "fuck you asshole"

Interesting. I was under the impression that something had to be extremely difficult and annoying so that you appreciate the money you spent on the addon.

That's exactly the case...and when it happens..they Q_Q lol.

[Hanyoko]

My last several wins have been WHM/SCH, BRD/WHM, RNG/??? x2, PLD/??? + someone else that needs. This has included NIN/DRK, THF/DRK, BLM/??? ie someone with stun. (??? means I dont remember/didnt look at what their sub was) PLD was basically using their Ultima MDB setup.

Getting better at the fight, less mistakes and faster times.

Protip! if someone dies near the crystal, wait till it does a -ga to get up so it does immediately hit you.

SAM SAM MNK MNK RDM BRD. 1/1, just go zerg-crazy and don't skimp on the Attack. I was punching for about 120 a fist. (Used 2x SV Minuet, red curry, /war for berzerk, etc.) I didn't get a chance to use an icarus wing I bought.

4. MNKs chi blast x4, pop hundred fists, WS when tp > 100
5. RDM chainpell stun
6. BRD get rdy to curaga mnks if needed
7. fight done in less then 1 min w/ everyone above 1000 hp

A really good PLD/WAR (PLD didn't really get much of a chance to cure himself with all the draw-ins and running so I'm guessing the extra JA hate helped a lot; nobody took hate) is what makes this fight a joke, for people who are having a hard time. At least that's how it seemed to me. Ours wore his full magic defense and took maybe ~400 damage from Seed of Judgment (no relic if that matters). Never had anything even remotely close to a death for anyone really. He got charmed once and the crystal just kinda sat there, didn't really draw anyone in, except maybe the SAM at the last second before PLD went uncharmed. Using BLM to tier 3 one-shot the adds frees up DD to focus entirely on the crystal. Thought 1 SMN and 1 SAM/RNG would be pushing it at first, but we ended up with 10 minutes to spare.
