Re: Need a Joyuese FAQ
Yes, camping Charybdis is no picnic, considering there is usually competition on this NM. If you're going after this NM, I'd advise setting aside a lot of time to first get the Time of Death (ToD) and start camping it eight hours later. It has a pretty long window to spawn in, it can be anywhere from exactly eight hours later to 11 hour later, so be ready to tack on extra hours after then window opens eight hours after the ToD.

Some important things to know is that it is a lotto pop off Devil Mantas during the window. These mobs will respawn 15-16 minutes after they're killed. Anticipating the respawn is key to claiming this NM.

You will need a BRD or COR and a NIN for the fight. BRD and COR are helpful for their evasion buffs here (Mambos and Ninja Roll) If you can get all three jobs, perfect.

However, BRD and COR can use Joyeuse, too. And COR has a pretty strong argument for having one, much stronger than RDM does, actually. Its godly for TPing those Slugshots.

Soooo... I'd recommend bringing a COR or BRD that already has a Joyeuse, otherwise they'll try to lot it (set to Quartermaster and keep leadership to prevent this.)

Trust me, there are people who will try to dick you over on this drop, I highly suggest going with people you can trust. I let a guy get the drop ahead of me on a friend's insistance, he swore he'd come back to help and... shocker... he didn't. Got mine on next pop, but one less man on hand put that at risk.

Fast claim jobs are also useful. THF with a Machine Crossbow, WHM with Holy, MNK with Chi Blast, COR with Quick Draw and your usual provoker jobs will all help ensure claim better.
