    Difficulty of NPC Dragon fight?

    I'm mainly asking how hard is this fight exactly? I'm mainly asking if its possible for a 30RDM(I can get to 33 prolly for Phalanx) and a 30BLM to do this fight? Once the NPC's come out I'm guessing the fight will be easy, but beforehand would a kiting method work on the DRG? I was gonna go /NIN for the fight so I figure with Gravity I could eventually whittle it down, with nukes here and there.

    Just looking for info basically XD.

    It's not a particularly difficult fight. I soloed it as a 40 WHM, to give you an idea of degree of difficulty.

      I soloed it as a 40 BLM, and to tell you the truth I woulda killed it without my NPC... aftually her popping in to "save the day" messed me up and made teh fight take longer then it should have >.>

        I did it as my BLM, and was practically naked. Seers gear and low level crap I had sitting around. As long as you can do damage you should be fine. Once my NPC came out, it was just a matter of time, although do be sure to keep your NPC healed.

            I was winning it very happily, then I got petrified right when it was close to dying. My NPC finished it off, but even after the BC was over I was still petrified, and it didn't wear off for TEN MINUTES. So be sure to turn around if you see the dragon ready Petro Gaze ...

              If you can solo the skeleton NM before this, I'd think you should be able to solo the dragon, they are roughly the same, with the dragon maybe being a little bit harder.

              I did these as a lvl, 60 something dragoon, so I can't say for sure just how difficult these are though.

              Have you considered the sleep/nuke method? Or would straight up fighting work best for this mob? Go rdm/nin, 2x dagger or swords, enspells + blaze spikes and go at him?

              Or you could mix it up a little if you feel daring, go rdm/thf, when you have a bunch of TP sleep the dragon, run behind and get off a SA+WS for a ton of damage.


              You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you.

              I don't have a big ego, it just has a large mouth.

                You can solo it, but not at lvl 30 or 33. It's a lvl 40 cap, so I highly suggested doing it at 40, or atleast 39. Your NPC will come in midway as a tank, so you'll be free to do your magic stuff.

                Regarding your 30BLM friend, he MUST be on the quest as well, or else he/she will NOT be able to go in with you and help.

                  lol, for me, the skelleton was MUCH harder...because assholes kept crowding the ???. You know how hard it is to kill something when it's Blood Sabering from that many people!?

                    Re: Difficulty of NPC Dragon fight?

                    This fight was far from hard :/. I just finished the dragon with my brother, 30BLM, and another LS buddy, 30WAR, since we all needed the quest anyway. I honestly think I could have soloed it had I brought some juice and maybe a Ether >_>.

                    Also I'm having trouble finding the Adventuring Fellow guide we used to have on these forums, can anyone give me a link? I wanna read up on it incase theirs info there not in the wiki page.

                      Here you go, Clever Ninja. You can also find a lot of useful info over at the Wiki (I use it primarily, since I don't have to sort through posts that way), but the guide is really handy regardless.

                        Re: Difficulty of NPC Dragon fight?

                        Would a lvl 30 BLU/RDM be able to solo either/both NM's or should I wait until at least lvl 35 to try to solo the 2 fights?-- I am asking because the nm guide(forgot what site it was from) says something about the Dragon being lvl 49?

                          It might be worth a try, if nothing else. The fights are really rather easy.

                            I also soloed this Dragon, as a 40 RDM, and while RDM is more easily soloable than other jobs, it was very easy to handle.

                              Is there a need to do it at 35? Get to lvl 40 first, or very close to it, and then try.

                              Better to be safe than sorry.
