Dabotz's Ghost - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Is this fight easy or at least able to be done as a 52 BST - I know the NM is supposed to be 53, but NM's are usually stronger than regular mobs also, so just wanted to make sure before I tried this.

Hmm never fought that ghost before. I think it may be a difficult fight for a 52 bst. Do you know what kind of mobs you will have at your disposal for charm? It looks like the highest you can charm are Underworld Bats 50-52 and Camazotz 51-54. I have no idea where the nm is spawned or where the bats are.

I duoed this fight as a 70 Pld/War with a 70 Rdm/Whm. While we were never in any real danger it was still kind of a long fight. Besides this Ghost, you have to worry about clearing out the pots that hang around here unless you don't plan on using magic (which you will need). While I can't say for sure that you will or will not win, I would suggest bringing some help (it can't hurt).

That's BST AF2 NM.
You don't need to go as BST.
You could go with your BLM.

I heard it's possible to solo with BST52, but I heard it takes as long as 1 hour.
I don't know if that's true because I went as WHM75 and not BST52.

Ya I know I could go there as my BLM, but I am there leveling anyway and figured I would try it when I hit 52 or 53. But since you said over an hour I think I may ask some LS buds to come on out n help.

I went as WHM75/BLM & had to warp out 'cause he was too much, but came back as WHM75/NIN & beat him.

He is indeed soloable at 52, because I did it. Took me 2 tries, however. This is due to the fact that ghosts (Uttuku I believe) like to hide behind doors in the hallways where you would be swapping bats. Yellow hp = death if you aren't careful.

It took me 45 minutes to beat him on my successful run. It was one heck of a fight, dodging agro and finding my next pet. I used about half of the basement, I had to go that far to get new pets sometimes. Lots of fun, in my opinion, and I was darn proud afterwards.

If, however, you're looking for a quick and painless fight, bring one of your lvl 75 jobs.

Killed him as 71Thf/Nin + 71 Mnk/War for a 52 Bst in our ls. Nothing too serious for high-level help. I'd opt for assistance on this one.

I soloed him as well as 52bst. I pulled it back to the large stair case and was just very careful about having yellow health and casting in the hallways. Very, very rewarding to solo it :D
