I know everyone wants delve/skirmish, but anyone out there on my server that still needs VW clears/drops. is always the same, new content comes and old content dies out, however, for some ppl, either cos their a completionist, want particular drops for specific builds ie; stun scholar, some stuff is still needed. I been /yelling off and on for a month now for jeuno T1-T6 clear group, but not one tell. I only have sandy/windy/bastok t1-t4 clear done. anyone interested on trying to put a group together, /tell sisay in game evenings GMT+1. Never set up a vw group before so dunno best setup so any advice useful. Am on Cerberus server. Thanks for any tips.

Those can all be 2~4 manned pretty easily along Jeuno path (Some soloable.) Just fyi so you aren't shouting for a full alliance.

I've been like 130 plates and 18 cinders away from my 99 Daurdabla for like weeks - Every time I shout for Morta or Uptala does not fill at all. Yes, it is dead.

There are Japanese shouts for VW almost every day on Shiva (and this is not a very active server). I see Morta most often, but Uptala is still farmed occasionally. I think I might've even seen an English Kaggen shout earlier...

Before SoA even, me and a couple friends would trio pretty much anything up to jeuno T4 with WHM/BLM/WAR with capped lights just about everytime. I can't imagine how easy it would be for 5 or 6 people to tear down Uptala.

BLM/RDM
WHM/DRK
BLU/NIN
BRD/SCH

That should be fine if you wanna cap lights on most of them for KI. WHM can help stun ws/spell with /drk and should be able to land absorbs with macc update. This is assuming you have up to date delve gear. If not then you might wanna add another DD or go MNK if your BLU isn't up to par. BLM should be able to deal respectable dmg now also to speed it up after capped lights. Make sure BLM has capped fast cast to knock the proc out quickly. BRD can be two song as well.

On the higher level fights you will want another DD and probably a PLD if it has adds. Make the PLD sub nin in that case. We regularly 6 manned NMs like Morta with MNK/WAR MNK/WAR PLD/NIN WHM/BLM(Would sub drk now) BRD/SCH BLM/RDM. Some of these mobs can be soloed by a few jobs, can't specifically mention all that are able to but I know I have personally soloed things like Akvan, Celeano and Stachysaurs on BLU.

Go without 18 for dross and cinder?

I would go personally. Not like there are many other shouts.
Fill meaning the proper jobs to kill it - not having 18 lol. Uptala can get by with like 6 or 7 - Morta need like 10 if you want procs. Can't even get that sadly.

Draylo's setup for Uptala you can do same with Morta - odd setups but they work lol. Morta for the bare minimum no weaks i'd say need WHM BRD MNK MNK PLD (adds) BLM NIN for procs...thats barely having any dd procs..BLU SMN great to have too

We actually do Morta as 6 man, that was before Skirmish 2 as well. Fairly quick fight but it depends on the procs you get. We went MNK/WAR MNK/WAR so if it was BLU we didn't have it. You could put a BLU instead of MNK tho and use the setup I posted above.

Melee procs primarily buff blue light, you don't really need them. You can effectively farm the gear with the setups listed earlier. The real problem with voidwatch is that plates/cinders are scaled for 18. Assuming 6man uptala, average pouch of 9 plates, you'd need to kill 463 uptalas to get one person's 1500. I wonder if SE has anything planned for that in november update, as is it's not even a matter of time or ability but one of stone limitation. A character started the day VW was created that's got all the key items using only voiddust has less than half of the stones a 90-95 upgrade would need.

I cant remember if VW stones are re-calculated everytime you get reduction (as it was in Abyss) but assumming they are you should have 2155 stones by now.

you solo'd Akvan.......... ? DANG

It is been forever since I VW then..... if ***is Solable now :(

anyhow this does help, I Will try to low man VW with LS (They all need Clears............... from Tier 1 Bastok Windy Sandy ~> jeuno T6 and all others)

Ty Bro/sis this helped alot.

people were soloing T5's before SoA, it's possible, just very inefficient for farming.

Anyone thinking the rme and Voidwatch tweaks tomorrow might help? 600hmp/57cinders from vere99 and hoping people might want to finish empys if vw gets easier to lowman.

I ran 3 sets of uptala on saturday and they were all full alliance. So You probably don't have to low man it now, people are interested again.

Uptala is quite easy to low man anyway, 2 DDs are all you need, you just need a few mages to proc etc.

Hi guys, I've got a question here for some help in voidwatch. I'm trying to finish this off here for these quests and i'm having trouble. I was able to low-man quite a few of these with only 2 or 3 people, i'm still not to a tier that i can shout and get any amount of people. I'm wondering if someone knows a good strategy or trick to beating Laidly Laurence keep getting total wipe here... Any advice would be greatly appreciated i would like to finish this quest-line asap. Thanks in advance.

have you tried using the weakeners on it? They're like 20k a piece and you can use up to 5 of them, it would probably take the bite out of the aoe drain move (which iirc you need a certain amount of people/pets to help divide the damage)

Does anyone know if you actually have to get the 100% white for upgrading the abyssite or can i just go in there and use the phase displacers and kill it instantly?
