Low Numbers ZNM 6 or less

pchan said:
I did 15/27 ZNMs from tier 1,2,3 with anywhere from 1 to 4 people, most of the time it's rdm/nin kite and bm/smn/w/e nukes. I did not try all as we don't need stuff from other nms from tier 1 and 2. The idea is to farm tier3 pops quickly, and solo to save time, and mobilize the LS for harder crap. Most of the time spent in "ZNM" is zeni farming anyway.

Yes this too. I want to get tier IV pops on my own and bring them to the LS to kill together.

I've found it's a lot of effort trying to get all pops to tier 4 solo. The problem I found is that since I can only carry one pop, it requires that I have to run back and forth if I plan on popping several at the same time. This can be a little vexing if I am working with others since they'll have to wait for me during those trips while I get another pop. It'd be easier to work out a deal with 2 others needing same items from higher tiers to each work on their own path and do a single pop of higher tiers in 1/3 the time or 3 pops in the same time minus 2/3 of the traveling time.

I'd agree, rolling through 6 tier 1's in a half hour, then moving to tier II, then taking slightly longer for tier III with a large group is much more productive, and not dependent on one person grabbing all the zeni.

The strength of Zeni NMs will now gradually be adjusted after a predetermined amount of time has elapsed following their being claimed.

Since the September version update, it seems that the ZNMs were given a predetermined amount of time before they rage. Has anyone been able to low man (party of 6 or less) the NMs listed in this thread?
 
i've heard from a friend that iriz ima is harder to solo due to rage as in resist rates going up, but i can't confirm anything given it's second hand info i'll have to ask
 
I'm going to be attempting to duo BLM + RDM various mobs, if I can kill the mobs before 70 minutes I should be fine. I'll post my results here.
 
Tried Lil' Apkallu today with Jo and Willian as BLM/NIN, RDM/NIN respectively. Basically Willian kited with Bio 2 and crimson cuisses until Apkallu used Yawn and started running around...at that point Jo would nuke for about 4-5% and land a Shock and then stand elsewhere.

It did rage, but it didn't become unmanageable. It still did the same amoutn of damage to Willian. I just stopped being able to nuke it at 40% or so--the battle took a LOT longer than it should have due to my trying different tactics--and my Blizzard IVs did about 17 damage.

I carelessly got aggro from one of the lamia guarding the mirror, though, and died. Next time I'm going to try and take them down first before I try Apkallu, or at least kill the one that gets close.
 
I dual-boxed Cheesehoarder twice today and Iriz twice as well. You can apparently still do it.

Gonna try Dea next i think.
 
Duoed Dea today too, took about an hour with Willian grav-kiting and Veralynn Freeze 2 / zoning. I would have used Jojo but i didn't feel comfortable with zoning into Whitegate and lagging Willian to death.

It seems that if the monster doesn't have enhanced movement speed or auto regen, rage doesn't matter because you can always land Bio and kite with w legs. I ended up having to do this at 1% when he started resisting poison II. Dropped pigaches and the grips.

If anybody wants Oracle's Pigaches and has BLM or THF, let me know and we can fight it together.
 
Jojojo: Nice!

From what I noticed, Dea seems to have -slight- enhanced movement speed but not on par with 12%. I was late for my ZNM runs and the spare none Wlegs PLD had trouble kiting it back to the tower (he was surely getting hit), eventually dying and the backup RDM gravitied it and continued the kite. On the pop the week after I got hit once on pop but then I avoided all mobs/tigers and didn't get hit once.

I was going to ask how you planned to do Dea but it looks like my assumptions of how you were gonna do it was right.

Why THF, by the way? Treasure Hunter?

If I'm idle/free and near Whitegate I won't mind jumping on THF/BST to help out. I'll go charm a tiger or something which can do fairly decent damage to it while being kited (and give you some breathing space if it steals hate).

Yes, it's a long fight and longer to get Zeni. I need TH.

I'll look you up :)
 
I want the oracle feet... i got BLM and TH (TH4) @ 75!
 
Sarameya

Planeteers and TasteTheRainbow recently (8/9/09) won a low-man sarameya using Kaeko's strategy. We had 7 people tho D: so idk if it counts under your thread topic.

Treg SAM/WAR
Spyo SAM/WAR
Millania COR/WHM
Stacks BRD/WHM
Skitles WHM/?RDM? I think
Corvinus RDM/WHM
Makzilla RDM/WHM

First fight took 41 Mins and both sams brd and whm used 2hrs. 2nd fight took 31 mins and only cor 2hr used.
 
I think you are talking about us lol check here. That is all we do now a day is low men/women almost everything. Two of them are mules, one for back up cure other for TH. Low men ZNM is so good gil, Saya drop hides and claws /7
 
6 manning achamoth is impressive y0, that thing can be a bitch. how long did that take you?
 
It's actually 5 guys. Took about 35 mins because Spyo ran wrong way so he died, wait for unweak and such. Spyo dual box Tsurael, I dual box Sidd. Acromoth hit me for 5-10 damage all over, it was easy. Millania was originally corsiar but then I afraid can't kill before it rage so have her go change by the time she came back it at 10% lol. So it more like 4 guys 2 mules vs acromoth.
