Re: Fan farming

I went there at 75 as RDM/THF and could only barely kill them all before they started to respawn, my gear was crappy, and I didn't make much because I spent too much time resting.
I've spent a lot of time there as RDM/NIN and it's much easier for me, and I still get decent drops and more than make back the money spent on shihei. I think once I get a Joyeuse I'll try again as RDM/THF.

A very good place to farm for me when I need seals/EXP and money. ^^

Re: Fan farming

Now, I stay in the centre of the room after the first clearance so as to concentrate on the 4 demons. Life is more comfortable as long as the Abriman stays outside ^^ . I have some time to rest before the next spawn cycle, usually I cast invisible and rest .

With the money made, I m going to upgrade my gears with a view to increase attack and evasion (such as bat earrings). I trust I need to camp OSE someday as Rdm/whm =P .

Re: Fan farming

If you find yourself short on time between repops, don't be afraid to eat food. Both Mithkabobs and some kind of defense food is great. I prefer +attack for the EP demons and +defense for the DC ones, then again my Thf sub is still lvl 15 so if I leveled that maybe I could go with +attack on those as well.

In four sessions on the DC ones I've been unlucky and not seen a single Flare but I've found the Demon NM that drops Abs-Dex twice so I feel like I can't complain too much

Re: Fan farming

Ok, I finaly got 75 so I decided to try it out tonight. It sucked, I could not kill more then the eye and 2 demons before they repoped.
I went as 75RDM/36War because my THF is only 25. My gear is this:
Main: WW Anelace
Sub: Genbu's Sheld
Head: Orc
Neck: Shield Torque
Earrings: Dodge x2
Body: Narasimha's vest
Hands: Orc
Rings: Astrial x2 (lack of anything else on AH)
Back: Amemet
Waist: Warwolf
Legs: AF
Feet: Dance Shoes

I dont know what my proublem was but I could not kill them fast enough...Stoneskin would fall after like 5 or so hits. Is it because I dont have the evasion you get for THF sub or what? I thought that with war sub I would be able to kill them fast enough to make up for the less evasion, but I guess not.

I know I should sub thf so I can get TH but right now I just need about 100k more so I can buy Utsmi: Ni.

Any sugestinos?

Re: Fan farming

Is your Enhancing Skill capped?

Also, I'd suggest the lv74 STR rings or as someone has said before: Tiger Rings.
Also WWA is a little weak, if you can get a Joyesue or Martial Anelace i'm sure it'd help.

I went from 10k till 74 to 13k into 75 in 48 hrs thanks to MNK and WAR pts so my Enhancing skill is still that of a level 73 RDM. I would love to get a Joyesue but I dont know how to go about camping something that has something like a 16-hr pop window, and Royal Guards or WW are the only swords I have access to.
I'd get a Martial but I need money, that's why I'm trying to farm...kinda a circular argument ; ;

Re: Fan farming

If your up for it you can easily solo the pops by yourself and once it pops call on your LS. I did it around 67-70 so it would still be some good exp. I used the sleep > nuke > gravity > nuke > sleep method. Also gives you a chance to raise your evasion every now and then ^^
