Trial 873

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

Objective: 200 experience-yielding monsters of the Skeleton family.

Attack: Water damage of 150 points or greater

Equipment: Teiwaz must be equipped.

Suggested locations:

Best Location:

• Abyssea - Attohwa. Schnitter. Upside: Atma of course, plus a bit more profitable. No real downside, these are melee type skeles. Aeroja>Fireja>Waterja (3 or more skeles) Fireja>Waterga2 (for 2 or less).

Good Location:

• This camp has been broken by an update.
• For a solo BLM85, Toraimarai Canal from Windurst Walls entrance. There are 12 easy prey Mindcravers and Fleshcravers within a two minute walk from the zone. Be careful as the Impish Bats and the Stygian Pugils (the ones on the east side) are both aggressive.

Fair Location:

• For solo BLM90/RDM, consider The Eldieme Necropolis (S). On the first map head to (F-8) (Drop A), fall down, and there will be tons of skeletons waiting for you. All easy prey, pretty easy to kill! I would round them up in groups of 3~5 and Firaja -> Waterja -> Waterga III. For groups of five, make sure to have Mana Wall up before engaging and Convert ready. Silencing one of the Lichs can also make this easier. :)

• Abyssea - Grauberg. Sensenmann. Upside: Atma of course make this a bit more sustainable, plus a bit more profitable. Downside: generally takes 3 spells to kill, mobs are dangerous in that they are mage type - requiring you to pretty much keep buffs up due to elementals in area/possible hp/ma aggro links.

Notes:

• Remember: blms normally can't sleep skeletons as they are dark based.

• Finishing blow may come from any prescribed elemental source in the party, including avatars.
