    They can get pretty close occasionaly. I make sure to stand on the steps at 4.1 distance opposite to the demon, should ensure safety.

    obviously the fortalice knew you needed to skill up evasion as well.

    If you're having issues with aggro (I was able to afk there fine even as low as 62, dunno), go to the one's farther in. Nothing pats near those.

    lol i got some friends in on it and we started doing a circuit run on all 4 of them.
    Lv 1 weapons last me around 30minutes if im lucky. I took off all my gear that gives STR+ or attack+ to ensure that i don't end up killing it too fast and having to wait at the next spot..

    In a solo situation, cycling 2 spots is the best imo... and really easy to do.
    I did the outer 2 at first but have since gone inside.. no real reason why.

    Might be a placebo effect or something but for most it seems to be really fast at first but after a while it tends to feel slow. But 230+ is really slow. I managed to go 0 skill up on a whole fortalice too. Just unlucky i guess.

    If you're standing at the outer ones, you're going to need to stand at the water's edge and hit the fortalice. If you're at 4.1 distance you should be golden

    Freakin sweet, thanks for posting this. I went to Castle Zvahl with level 110~ staff last night, and I woke up to 230 this morning and the Fortalice was at about 40%. Equipped a signet staff and stacked all the acc gear I could as 69 PLD and ate a Marinara pizza +1 with sigil food support. I should have went on MNK75 seeing how it caps higher and I'd have access to O hat and w/e accuracy gear I have. Thanks again, very useful until they decide to nerf this like skilling up on campaign fortifications lol

    Thank you for posting this trick. Now I can finally skill up staff without going insane in the process.

    IM skilling off the one close to the yagudo atm, and I'll be honest every time they move it scares the fuck out of me. Am I in a good position or should I move?

    Yes. A Yag once saw me when I was in the other corner near the right more, but when facing the back of the stairs I never had a problem.

    stop sucking.

    Though seriously, it's really not that hard to dodge the agro in Xarc. And very hard to actually die in the Castle once youve reached the structure. Some agro may happen due to 1st time mistakes, but it's not like that isn't something that wasnt covered in this thread already.

    I finally got lucky, but let me just say SE did a great job on Xarc and Castle Zvhal. I haven't been creeped out by areas in a long time, all those imps staring down at you from the sky in the Castle gives me the heebie-jeebies.

    He's a freelance, so they chill between battles as an NPC when Defending an area. Allied Freelances do the same thing (as do Allied Campaign leaders), not certain why exactly--I'm pretty sure you can't influence them when they're deployed, but it's a normal occurence. He doesn't talk afaik. Which is upsetting because dialogue to influence the Beastmen Freelances for the Allied Forces has been in the DATs for ages. (Though Raigegue's base before the Dark Kindred is Eldieme Necropolis.)

    tl;dr working as intended
    and wearing all my errant gear didnt stop my PUP from murdering them at 220 skill way too fast
    guess i'll go do staff on blm a bit later

    ended up cycling the outer 2. cos running around felt a little time consuming.

    wait.. you're not Amity are u?
    cos if u are, take off all that STR/attack+ shit and u'd have the poles to yourself even longer.

    If not, our bad.. but we're making the most of it while it lasts.

    Wonder if they're gonna patch it this emergency update

    iirc:: Wasn't there a fortification skill up method similar to this that was patched? Would be nice if they missed this, however.

    i have no doubt that this will eventually get patched, just like the free <150 skillup at fortifications were..

    It's really a matter of when instead of if..

    but until then, gonna make the most of it XD
