I also posted this on KI. Sorry for those who read it twice.
I'm curious. Who has done it?
On my server, BC40 is like the town bike for everyone 40 and over. When I logged off, there were 18 phalanxes and 13 erases up on the Jeuno AH. Phalanx was down to an alltime low of 120k. This is a good day to be a red mage.
Seeing as how I and my linkshell are nearing level 60, I'm setting my sights on BC60. I'd like a bit more information before I throw my seals at Shami, though.
My first concern is party makeup. I'm getting a lot of mixed answers here. Some say to bring a BLM because Sleepga II owns Lullaby even with Mary's Horn. Some people say use a Bard still because Black Mages can be interrupted. Yet another strategy is to use Lullaby and then Sleepga II over the Lullaby. I'm thinking a more traditional xp'ing party would work, especially since you have tools such as Refresh and Ballad II. It doesn't seem that you'd be pressed for mp conservation and high damage output like you are for BC40.
Next, I'm wondering about which location to choose. I understand that when you engage the Beastmen, that you should go in a certain order depending on their classes. Giddeus seems like an overall bad choice due to having to deal with a BLM, WHM, and BRD. The orc one seems like a good choice since it's mostly melees and you get a shot at spectacles. The tonberry one also seems like a good choice since there are good drops and tonberries generally have low defense. Astral Flow seems like it might cause problems.
Anyways, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
I'm not looking for a complete walkthrough, or this is you you do it kind of thing. Just some general information on what to expect in terms of resists and crowd control.
