Avoiding Mandies 25-30

Re: Avoiding Mandies 25-30

...an yah before the majority of the NA discovered Kazham years ago, everybody went to Batallia for tigers and gobs, or did acrophies in Qufim all the way up to 30.

This is what we did in Beta. No Kazham so we had to slowly take on Acrophies. Goodness that was the worst!!

To tell you the truth, if you use full chainmail you'll have no problem at all tanking Mandragoras in the Yuhtunga and Yhoator Jungles. And if you have Evasion gear for the Goblins you'll really do great.

I remember this. 20-30 in qufim is the worst..........

go to outpost in yutanga and kill ranger goblins. They are weak and easy. After you reach 28 you can move to kill shahakins and pugils near the ssg zone. Favourite spots for JP PTs but not many NAs come here.

My favorite place to level in that range. Just watch for gob pops as you will NOT survive trying to zone anything.

Tarus are like oddjob in Goldeneye: too short to hit him and he can still beat the cr*p out of u.

I've exped on both mandras and gobs but found myself leaning toward tanking mandras just because it was easier. If ur health gets low (it really shouldn't) just have a back-up voker ready. With a decend +def equip, u wont take any significant dmg. Also mandras doesn't have any nasty abilities (sleepflower is annoying but nothing jeopardizing) so its also safer.

i agree. mandies in yuntunga/yhoat are one of the easiest mobs to tank. atks are weak, weak to a lot of spells/weapons, no big time specials. however, mandies in boyahda, specifically the black ones, those are a different story.

Really the Mandies from 25-30 are mindnumingly easy. Did that long ago as WAR/NIN (When my NIN was pretty bad only lv. 10 then so of course no Utsusemi), with some fish mithkabobs, dual wielded axes, and cunning use of Defender and Berserk the Mandies at best only hit me for 8-14 damage a hit. Often their second hit was usually parried or evaded.

Even with the change to NIN, the gear that they can wear and that others like WAR can wear the NIN as main should be capable of doing just as well on the madies tanking them without Utsusemi. Up to you though, mandies stripped utsusemi fast regardless anyway since they are MNK types.

Re: Avoiding Mandies 25-30

when i tanked mandies in the jungles, they hit so weak they didnt even interrupt me recasting utsusemi.

mandies are easy. just tank them the same way you tank everything else.
