Difficulty of NPC Dragon fight?

Re: Difficulty of NPC Dragon fight?

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!?

I had this problem too, and lost the first fight, but they fixed this issue. Members outside of your party who currently don't hate, won't be effected by the AoE. I had 3 other parties standing, I drop it's HP to about 15% and it drains back damn near all it's HP from EVERYBODY standing around. Killing all of our NPCs. Not an issue now.

As far as the fight goes, I went in as a RDM37 in my RSE, wasted all kinds of time buffing up, (Stoneskin, Pro/Shell, Blink, Phalanx etc; take a long time to cast.) and I was 4 seconds from beating the record. If I hadn't bothered with buffs, which as I recall were wiped once I entered, I probably would have beat the record by 20 seconds or more. Any DD job would destroy it in short order.

Aa a lvl 29 BLU what set up would I need for the dragon? I assume I wont be able to solo it(even though I almost soloed the skeleton--had a lvl 30 help me beat it), but would like to finish this quest. Can a 30 BLU and a 30 BLM be able to take the dragon? I can also go as a 30 RDM(but have better damage spells with BLU)

Why is it so difficult to attaint lvl 40 first?

I think you will have an extremely hard time at lvl 30, even with help, who's also lvl 30.

Just make it easier on yourself, get lvl 40. Or 39, even.

Eohmer, honestly, this guy is hard from hard for a 40cap fight.


Anyway, if you went 30BLU(with Magic Fruit and the Auto Regen trait up)., and both you and the BLM brought drinks and possibly a Hi-Ether, and you subbed WAR to tank the first half of the fight, you'll do fine honestly. He isn't as hard as I thought he would be considering the fight IS 40 capped and all.

I did the fight as a level 40 Hume bard using my AF knife because I was so cheap. He wasn't easy but it wasn't hard, my NPC was the one that really came to save the day. Once she came out it was a piece of cake.
