ITT: Your Worst Magian Trial
ITT: Your worst magian trial
PUP/SCH nuke sleep them really shouldnt be an issue theyre sleepable and ep mob easily sleep sj sch I cant see pup nukes slowly getting reduced dmg from apkallu hate. I realise you fail to have any mage jobs leveled but Im just pointing it out to anyone else unfortunate enough to stumble upon this trial. Supprised Pchan didnt suggest this more clearly when he suggested pup kill, how can it run back to the pack when you have it slept?
Still have to intially clear the zone for that to work. Aside for like 3 of them, they're most are within link range of at least 1 or 2 other birds. With your recommended strat, would be restricted to killing 1-3 birds and waiting on the I think 16 min repop.

For about 200 kills or so, then they'll start resisting damage as well, you'll have problems outkilling the repops.
So probably best to do this trial in stages of 150-200, instead of grind killing?
As for the stages, I waited 18 hours after yesterday was able to get 200+ in starting w/ no hate, but after 18 hours not enough hate had decayed for me to start it up again, hence the video
and a ~30 sec delay betwen nukes if solo.
also they build resistance, so they could resist sleep after a while
EDIT: For the PUP/SCH Strat

A little of topic but a question my friend was saying earlier,
When this trial is complete, the weapon changes to a lvl 80 weapon, Since most BCNMs/Missions are still capped at 75 wouldnt you lose the OAT under the sync?

I take it pup can't Activate Deactivate Activate anymore? and just spam nuke?

And sleep recast has to be addressed, and deactivate has a 1 min cooldown timer now
Ah well at least you can kill your Apkallu, most of us have to sit there staring at the mob we wish death upon while waiting for the correct weather to do so...
That video was pretty hilarious though Tiger, I wish you the best of luck with'em.

Yeah. 150 elementals on lightsday sucks. Ones in sky take forever to kill on SMN. They're too spread out in grauberg and tree. Weather didn't happen very often when I went to valley of sorrows. Maybe next time I'll see about the eles around Tia.
Ele pets in (West Sarutabaruta
on the 450 apkallu now. the hate system is so lame for these birds.

600 demons were icky. Imps are obviously the easiest even being T or higher to me but still icky and have to fight for pulls most the time. And gdi 600 is alot. Especially going right into 400 of soemthign else lol
I'm just getting going into my trials but so far the biggest pain in my arse is the one with 50 raptors, any weather. Sounds easy, right? I've been on this damn trial for going on 3 weeks now... Every time there is ANY weather where I can fight a raptor of appropriate xp, it either disappears after 2 minutes or after I get 1 kill. So I've basically been doing this trial as 1 kill at a time, maybe 2 or 3 kills total for each playing session.
When I first got the trial I figured "hey, Cape Terrigan has Raptors and weather!" 15 hours of camping there later, I get a /tell that there's fire weather, as I'm logging out.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to the 150 mobs during Xday/weather, because at least on a given Xday I know I can run out and get some kills, come back the next time Xday rolls around. Running around Vanadiel just looking for weather is such a pain in the ***.

Trial 200: Sabotenders x200
... Been doing this mostly solo, so you can see the pain I'll probably be going through. I think Veg won this one though, saw that video and those birds suck majorly.

Currently on Trial 654 for GK. Krabkatoa Shellx10. I can't seem to get enough help for it. Everyone on Siren has better things to do. heh
So it's just sitting in my mog collecting dust for now.

Actually I'm starting to like the day or weather trials the best since:
1. Greater chance someone else will be doing it at the same time.
2. Much fewer kills

Been thinking the same thing, being able to kill on the day as well is waaay better than having to wait for the bloody weather. Almost got the beetles finished, Quicksand's been hatin on me.
Yeah I actually found help all times of day lol. Like back to back to back earth days usually the same people. Half the time we had to wait on repops

I currently have to do 200 Wamoura on firesday/weather. I can't really find help and I can't solo those. >.>
10 Ruthven Nails
10 Krabkatoa Shells
10 Baby Blobs
*** VNMs. No one ever wants to do them anymore.
Oh and of course most of the Abyssea ones suck. Collect 50 items (yeah suck my *** SE).

Since these still give skill ups at 80, I try to package it as a skill up/Cannonball learning party. Depending on who shows up, we can kill between 25 to 65 per hour.

I helped my friend with this and would link (she brought her second char with her as a healer) 4-5 sabotenders and spam fell cleave /sam on them lol. Got TP really fast with Retaliation up too. Was a fast trial actually.
200 Flans during fire weather/day.
Here's hoping I can find a manaburn that'll let me leach.

I'm being a baby but Trial 841, 50 Slimes in water/earth/dark/ice weather. just because there are no good locations to do it and it's slimes... For an early trial that's just so *** =\ You cant find any decent locations without level sync.
And oh the Glory of Mages, I'll have to do this 3 or 4 times for each dark-based staff i want to create. I'll take the "harder" ones over this cowpat any day.

So far my worst has been Capricornus. His spam of recoil dive is deadly, even to my bff aegis pld. Very messy fight when you're low manning. But.. can't imagine apkallu. I'm very sorry :(
But wait!
50 Helm of Briareus - this one's going to take me a year.

Raptors in Uleguerand Range at I-10 with near constant ice weather
My worst was definately ghost pet kills in ice and dark weather/day. Fei'yin had some too weaks while garliage had only a few and kuftal had them all crowded together ><
