Did this with a conventional pt and came very close to completing. Bad luck with mine drops made us run out of time. I read somewhere else that 3+ BLM can do this without mines. They do this by spamming loads of DoT spells and a few low level nukes on the brittle rock. The person who posted this explained that him and his 2 other blm have it finished with 5-6 mins spare each time. I don't know the validity of this info but it seems plausable. I actually think a rdm may help do same thing.

Other things that *may* help

1. Each BLM use manafont on one of the walls each. spamming tier 1 and 2 spells on a constant basis.

2. Engage the wall with staff. Every little bit helps.

Anybody got any suggestions/tips on this assault?
 
this is a very easy assult I as rdm/blm can solo a wall in about 8-10 min.
al you do is keep as many dot up on the the wall and wack away.

So it would be a cakewalk for 4 x blm or rdm?
All 4 do the first wall
Then each take a wall and do that one in 10 mins max
Total time = 15-17 mins

One question Hells..
Do you spam DoT or wait until it has lapsed before re-casting it?
and
Do en-spells hit for much?

Yigit feet 4tw
 
best setup ive seen is to have a group have everyone do first wall then send 1 person to wall 2 and wall 3 have them solo wall while the other 4 hunt for 2 bombs. keep bio 2 frost shock and burn on you dont have to overlap just reup it when it wear off. Oh and make sure engage and hit hall while using bomb made that mistake once not to and lost bomb because of it.
 
as BLM I can solo a wall in about 5-7 min with DoT spells. This is actually an extremely easy assault.

Just take a BLM to solo the center wall, and any other job (preferably RDM or BLM) to solo the center wall. All others kil lthe Qiqirn for the mines, and then you use the mines on the last wall (and maybe second last wall if you feel you're short on time).
 
I had lost this one about 6 times or so honestly, then i tried it yesterday with only 3 people, instead of the full PT i had been doing it with.

Went with 2 blms, and me being a thf. i would do about 1 dmg to the wall, heh, but thats besides the point. the Blms would keep Dot, meaning like bioII, choke, burn, shock, the works; then spam tier 1and2 spells.

After the first wall, one blm went North to a wall and the other to the far east one, and they both DoT'd and repeated. i would melee the wall as kind of an added Dot... we repeated this till we got to the last wall, where i ran back to the entrance w/ flee (had about 5min left... roughly. or 3 min. cant remember) and then i waited for them to blow up the last wall, and i just snagged the chest when they were done. although the first time we had 30 seconds left and i just grabbed the chest at the end.. didnt know about the rune to clear it - -;; so dont go and make that mistake either >_<

edit: we did this without killing Quirin at all.. the times i failed this before was trying to rely on bomb drops that never came =\

So basically 3 people can do this and share the 6k points for a first time win. That is nice.

Oh yes... Yigit feet will be mine...

I did this with Demon yesterday, and it's very easy with 2x BLM + anything. I think that the walls get more HP when you have more members, so I think going with 3 people would be the best.

Everyone Invis's past the first bomb to the first wall. One BLM is in charge of keeping up Bio II + Shock + Burn + Choke at all times, then they both spam tier 1 nukes (we did Thunder > Blizzard > Fire, Drain added in where available). After the first wall is down, one BLM and the 3rd person go to North to a wall, while the other BLM goes east to a wall. Put DOTs up and /heal if needed, but get up when DOTs need to be reapplied. After the North wall dies, the BLM and 3rd person can come over to the East wall (which should die around the same time). Then continue on the path to the next wall, use the same strategy as the first wall. When the 4th wall dies, go to the last wall and use the same strategy. Have the 3rd member head to (F-10). This is a small circular spot slightly west of where you begin. Once the 5th wall is dead, the Rune of Release and Treasure Box pop here.

I got 1499 (or something similar, I can't remember exactly >_<) AP with leader bonus. The other two got 1999 (first win). This method seems like a very easy way to get AP fast for any of the Lebros Cavern items. I recommend this method to any BLM who wants to get Yigit Feet :D


Zeo, the 4 BLM idea of each taking a seperate wall doesn't work. The only point where you can split is with one BLM going North and one going East for 2nd/3rd Wall. You have to kill the East wall to get to the 4th, and the 4th to get to the 5th.
 
As I understand what I'm reading, there are still 5 walls with 3 people, but they have fewer hp?
 
?

ok... not knocking blm in any way.. as it's my main and fav..

but curious.. can rdm/blm do this just as well if not better ?
rdm melee's faster (sword vs. staff), and has refresh... rdm can still cast bio dia frost rasp drown schock burn etc..

which set is preferred ? melee elemental enfeebles or magic elemental enfeebles?

and which is prefered Dia or Bio.. I or II ?

and does en-whatever help when meleeing the wall? I'm 0/3 on this.. and want to get it done.. haven't tried a 3 person setup, and have stuck together each time. (doing rdm/nin)

help?


edit: would it be better for an rdm to use a dagger here? faster swings.. (add en-blizzard whatever)

edit again..

let's see...

3 man setup: (equals 4 walls right? please confirm)
rdm/nin + blm/rdm + mnk/war

first wall ... wham bam thank you maam... everyone unleashes living hell on it.. mnk hundred fists, blm manafonts, and rdm/nin whacks away at it keeping dia II on it.. and tier 1 nuking...
-wall falls..

second wall
blm wall 2...
rdm/nin goes after wall 3...
monk goes after wall 4...

whoever finishes their wall joins someone else.. and then everyone finishes last wall together?

yes/no ?

please add strategy hints, tips, advice to this.

I need 18000 Lebros Cavern points to get the two items I need...and this strategy confuses me to no end. ;.;
 
Let me make it easy for you at least the way I know how to do it. I'm sure there are plenty of other ways.

A blm or rdm/blm can solo a rock in 7-8 mins with the following spells and tier 1 spells (not even needed really the DOT does more than that): BIO II, shock, choke, burn. Don't bother with the others as you some of them cancel eachother out. Keep these on it at all times.. IE if BIO II wears, start re-applying them. Ideally bring 1 BLM + RDM/BLM ,2 BLM, or 2 RDM/BLM.

1. Everyone kills first wall.
2. 1 BLM or RDM goes to north rock (up on map- I assume this is north) and starts soloing it. (took me 5.5 minutes using those DOT and manafont)
3. Second BLM or RDM go to east rock (right on Map - again an assumption)
4. Everyone else start killing the rats
5. By the time the rocks are down from 2 people soloing, you should have 1-2 mines from rats.
6. Use mines to blow up remaining two rocks or everyone help kill rats while blm or rdm works on next rock.
7. You really only need one mine to win this.

Have won last three atempts with 8-10 mins remaining with this strategy.

Good luck zeo ^^

You can only access 2 walls after you get past the first one. the others are behind the second (or third depending on which you kill lol)

Hey Darth did with conventional pt and 2 blm with ages to spare earlier.

The first wall takes a while, but me and other blm solo'd the next 2 walls while melee and whm got 2 mines.

Elemental DoT brought the hp of wall down very steadily. I am not sure what works best but I used Bio2, shock, burn and choke and drain - healed mp while watching it die.

I can see no reason why rdm can't own this/

rdm or blm 4tw

posted strategy here:
http://www.qcdn.org/showthread.php?t=27155

and no idea if rdm would work better than blm. Blm usually have all staves or hq's which im fairly certain influence damage more than the higher tier enfeebling magic rdm get, but I have no real way of knowing. probably rdm and blm are interchangable for this. As a blm though it takes me around 6 minutes per wall, if you say 7-8 for rdm it lends credence to blm elemental enfeebles doing more DoT.
 
Think of some spells BLU get that might make this easy. hehe

RDM en- spells don't do any damage when I tryed it. added damage dose 0

Thanks Zeo, and everyone, I'll try this again soon!!

Antime you or anyone else want to do this I will do my darndest to be there.
This is the only Assault I will do until the feet are mine^^
 
I have 7,022 AP for Lebros cavern and can now say I can do this with 100% wins (unless someone screws up a mine -.-)
I have also run into a glitch where I kill all 9 rats but only 3 mines drop. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or if SE just likes to mess with us.

As usual I take 6 and this is probably the best setup for such a group-
Warrior and Monk are the best melee for this run.
BLM
RDM or BRD
DD (I'm war)
DD
DD
DD or NIN

Here we go-
Invis to first wall, and full attack- haste melees, WAR and MNK use mighty strikes and hundred fists.
After the first wall move forward to the ramp area. Kill those 2 rats (if a mine drops have someone blow east wall) Then invis and go up the ramp. Have the BLM help in killing the 3 rats there, unless you have 4 mines after the 3 up ramp are dead, leave the BLM to take out the wall up the ramp. Now everyone else heads back down and east and clears the rest of the qiqrin until you have all 3-4 mines. I have never seen less than 3 mines drop so this should be a 100% win if done correctly.
