New Elemental Staves

[Classikmage]

Finished Cure Potency- Surya's Staff, Magic Acc- Yama's Staff, & Magic Damage- Indra's Staff.

Working on Magic Damage- Varuna's Staff now, on the 200 Bees, but every time I go out to Wajaom Woodlands J-8 camp there is someone already there killing them, is there another camp in Wajaom Woodlands as safe/convienient as that one?

I went north there was 1 hive, but a lot of marids roaming pretty close, I was always afraid of hitting one with -ga spells.

Have you tried Volcano Wasps in Ifrit's Cauldron? Might not be so busy with the bees in there (heh)

I did Varuna's from Stage 1 > 8 before I managed to finish Stage 2 of Thunder staff... I found that with the Bee stages, Pephredos are excellent, and that camp is the best, but to avoid Marid aggro at the other camp, if you stun the Soldier Pephredo (the red-backed one) then kite it around the Workers (yellow backed), they link. The Soldier also aggro's sight, and they all link by sight. So you can grab them, gather them up by kiting and sleepga them away from the Marids. I did this at the 2 hive camp you say is always camped, and found that you get the same problem there with the two Lesser Colibri's that roam that area.

Managed to finished Surya's and Varuna's so far... On Stage 7 of Indra's... Frickin' smiles was a nightmare :<

Here's the ones I found:

The ZNM Puk spot seemed to be the best spot. Only the six bees.

[carmancilla]

For the bees, there is a spot with 3 hives(9 bees) at I-7. I did mine there solo and occasional groups with nin or thf doing bees too.

[Innuendo]

If you can find a sync there's a goblin's bee in the jungle.

[Shalafi]

I think G-6 has two hives

This is getting fucking lame with the weather for the ice teiwaz trial (slimes). In bout 2 weeks of trying on and off I've seen water weather in Pashhow [S] all of once, and Mire has been nothing but thunder. =(

[Onorgul]

You have trouble finding water weather in Pashhow [S]? When I was trying to kill Goobbues in thunder weather, all it did was rain and rain and rain. It was wintertime, for what it's worth.

Rang pass (LV Sync to 41). Enpell + Sword + SIGNET + Stoneskin + Phalanx. You should always get hit for zero.

Pashhow never worked for me, either. On the off chance I did find rain, it would disappear by the time I got to the slimes.

Caedarva can go hours and hours without a drop of rain, but at least when it does rain, it tends to stick around long enough to get a few kills in.

^ You just have to keep checking the NPC, once it's wet season it'll rain nonstop for days on end.

Also, to the person who recommended doing multiple staves at the same time it's a pro-tip for sure. What was burning me out was waiting frustratingly for one single trial that was being held up because of weather or day. I was getting really fed up checking the weather npc and never seeing thunder in the tree, etc. So now I'm doing 3 staves and once and it's keeping me busy. If there's no thunder in the tree I check water weather in the mire, if neither of those are up and it's ice day I goto sky and kill arcana. My point is instead of getting frustrated waiting RL days for one block of weather keep a few in your satchel and knock them out when you can. It has really helped me stay motivated trudging through these trials.

Weather isn't the bad part about these trials. The killshot BS is. I hope SE fixes that so we can start working together on staffs (Perhaps anyone's thunder kill shot will work?).

That sounds like a decent idea. I havent had too many issues yet with kill shot mobs, what I normally do is just dual box rdm + thf. Don't get me wrong it'd be a lot faster to team up, but I melee it down to 10% with thf, turn around, and T3 with RDM.

It wouldn't be so bad if I had a MNK to dualbox with, but that's simply not an option at the moment.

Ya I'd love a heavy melee, but THF is all that's available, so I make the best of it.

I need to do Amorphs under Ice day/weather. Where besides the first tunnel climbing Ule. Range (and the ledge with hecteyes) can I find some? Place is overcrowded today. ><

A bit late, but if you have a level 15 to sync to do worms outside S. Sandy [S]. Friend was RNG and did the whole trial in < 1 Vana day.

Ice day > puddings camp. can team up and get exp and staff done in one/one and a half sitting with a small mana burn.

Where did people find it easiest to do the final Varuna's staff trial of 250 crabs with 250+ ice kill shot? I'm thinking the big room in kuftal or the tree?

Kuftal definitely.
