Trial 603

Trial: Defeat a set number of experience-yielding monsters under the prescribed weather conditions, or on the corresponding day of the week.

Objective: 200 monsters of the Diremites family.

Day/Weather:

Equipment: Target item must be equipped.

• Suggested Location: Aydeewa Subterrane at (I-9) on Map 1, where 6 diremites spawn with a 16 minute respawn. This is one of the only two zones that have both wind weather and diremites. To save time, make use of the Magian Spectacles for weather reports of the area. Wind weather can pop up even if its not reported, but be prepared to wait many hours if it happens at all. Depending on your server the suggested camp might have a few NINs to team up with, with little to no people during Japanese prime time. You will need some form of Sneak as worms and jellies will aggro to level 90s on the path there.
• Alternative Location: Abyssea - Uleguerand taking out the Hoarmite on Windsday, very fast kills and respawns with the right atma set and gear. Teaming up here on Windsday is highly recommended as a good team of Ninjas can kill 100-150 in one day, so shout for a group the day before and invite anyone you see soloing. No need for Sneak if you take Flux #6 and follow the tunnel south to the diremite spawns.
• Alternative Location: Pso'Xja from the entrance at (G-9) in Beaucedine Glacier on Windsday. This is a decent spot if you have issues in terms of fighting ability or traverser stone time for the Hoarmites. To make the most of the camp, you need the key items Blue Bracelet and Green Bracelet to access every diremite. 3 Diremite Stalkers in a long tunnel beyond the Blue door (drop down the hole), and 4 Diremite Assaulters at the bottom of the elevator on the path to the Avatar Gate. No need to worry about aggro between these two camps except from Mimics and the diremites themselves.

• Note: This trial is the same as the Axe Trial 311 which requires that a Beastmaster's pet must land the killing blow. If you have a BST in your party, be ready to turn around when the mob has low HP or move onto another mob so that the BST can get credit, as well.
