Retrieving Astral Candescence? Read up.

[Sephectja]

Heh, I even tried to run up and see if I could grab the Astral Candesence after the BLM died, but no luck. I gave up when I realised the BLM had respawned... But the next party after us probably had a nice supprised to see the BLM on 33% XD

Not to mention SE designed it so that players have to throw time and EXP away at it, just so some someone else can win it. Thats why people don't want do it.

Yeah , hmm ... You are describing (H)NM camping. ...

Please don't judge something unless you actually tried it.

Getting to the BC is less "time consuming" than camping any NM required to pop Gods . Also you definitely donnot loose xp if you bring a whm : farming the key items after loosing BC grants you more than the XP lost.

If you have experienced people, that is ppl able not to get aggro every 30 seconds in Mammook, then it takes like 1 hour to reach the BC zone. After that do the BC and have fun (I mean you don't look at your screen for hours waiting for a pop that you won't claim).

Also the reward is not that tiny : title granted and 4,000 IS at least according to the JPs that won (after our group and another one brought all beastmen to 33%). Bringing the center beastman down to 33% required 3 attempts (around 30 minutes fighting).
