Trial 1744

Trial: Deal the finishing blow to a set number of experience-yielding monsters with the prescribed elemental attack.

Objective: 200 experience-yielding Crawler creatures.

Attack: -damage of 150 points or greater.

Equipment: Teiwaz must be equipped.

Places to Go:

• Abyssea - Vunkerl works with Devegetators. They DO link if you pull one too close to another, but usually not a problem.
  • Thunder V >> Bind >> Comet works; rarely leaving a sliver of life, where a Drain can do the trick. Only sad part is the recast timer on Comet makes it about a 1-per-minute kill. Can get quite boring. :/

As of the September 2010 Update, the person wielding the Teiwaz no longer has to be the one to deal the killing blow to receive credit. Proof

Spells: Any dark-based spell. These include, but are not limited to, Drain, Bio, Noctohelix.

• Notes: A 0 HP recovered Drain works, as it still does damage to the mob. With Bio and Noctohelix , the damage that lands has to be the finishing blow. Allowing the mob to die from the DoT of the spell does not constitute as a successful kill.
• As of the September 2011 update, Black Mages can learn Comet, which is single target Darkness damage, at level 94. Comet did about as much damage as a Blizzard V boosted by Atma of the Beyond, so it will be a valuable tool for completing this series of trials.
• Blue Mage spells such as Everyone's Grudge and Eyes on Me are also capable of dealing sufficient damage, if you can get a Blue Mage to help you.

Weaponskills: Any Dark-based elemental Weaponskill.

• Cataclysm is amazing for this family of trials, even at 100% tp it will do 600+ darkness dmg to all mobs in AoE but you need to be whm or /whm to use said WS.--Josiahkf 13:49, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
• Note: Haven't seen Starburst or Sunburst proc as a successful kill, given that it deals Light or Dark elemental damage.

• Just got a successful kill with Starburst. --Faey

• Blade: Ei, Infernal Scythe, & Sanguine Blade work well if you bring along a friend.

Blood Pacts: Any dark-based elemental blood pact. Nether Blast, Somnolence, Lunar Bay, Howling Moon, and Zantetsuken work. Pavor Nocturnus does not.
