BCNM F.A.Q. and Guide - Updated 4/2004 (30BCNM)

[StarvingArtist]

Once again I had time to kill. Here is a FAQ and translated guide to BCNM. So, for all of those that are wondering what those Beastmen Seals are for, here you go. Note: There may be some odd mistranslations on my part, but for the most part the information is still accurate. My original source:
http://www5.plala.or.jp/SQR/ff11/monster-bcnm.html

What is BCNM?
BCNM ?EBurning Circle Notorious/Named Monsters. A special battle in which you enter a closed arena.

How do I fight in a BCNM?
You trade an Orb (Star/Comet/Moon) to a Burning Circle found in various parts of Vanadiel. It will then allow you and your party to enter the arena.

How do I get Orbs?
You trade the proper amount of Beastmen?s Seals to a NPC in Port Jeuno - Shami (H-8). You will receive an Orb.

How do I get Beastmen?s Seals?
Any monster that you can defeat and gives experience points can drop a Beastmen?s Seal. They stack up to 99 and you can have multiple stacks.

Can I buy, sell, or trade Beastmen?s Seals?
No. The coins you may see in the Auction House that look like them are Beastmen Coins. They are dropped/stolen from higher level Beastmen and cannot be used to obtain Orbs.

What are the Orbs I can get?
Cloudy Orb - trade 20 Beastmen's Seals
Sky Orb - trade 30 Beastment's Seals
Star Orb - trade 40 Beastmen's Seals
Comet Orb - trade 50 Beastmen's Seals
Moon Orb - trade 60 Beastmen's Seals
Laksis/Clone/Atoropos - trade 30 Kindred's Seals*
*Kindred's Seals are dropped from level 50+ monsters

What is the difference between Star, Comet, Moon, etc?
Cloudy Orb will let you fight in a level 20 capped BCNM Battle - 3 person limit (*Note: Only for Ghelsba Outpost Orc Hut)
Sky Orb will let you fight in a level 30 capped BCNM Battle - 3 person limit
Star Orb will let you fight in a level 40 capped BCNM Battle
Comet Orb will let you fight in a level 50 capped BCNM Battle
Moon Orb will let you fight in a level 60 capped BCNM Battle
Laksis/Clone/Atoropos will let you fight in a level 70 capped BCNM Battle

Can I enter a BCNM if I am lower or higher than the level cap?
Yes. If you are higher than the level cap of the BCNM, when you enter you will be temporarily be de-levelled. Be sure to have appropriate level equipment. You can enter the BCNM if your level is lower than the cap, even as a level 1.

Can an alliance fight in a BCNM?
No. Only a single party (1-6 people) may enter at a time.

Does everyone in the party need to have an Orb?
No. Only one person needs to have an Orb, once he/she trades it to the Burning Circle, it will allow other party members to enter.

Where are the Burning Circles?
Orc Hut - (G-8) in Ghelsba Outpost (site of Sand'oria Mission 3 / DRG Job Quest NM)
Horlais Peak (J-6) in Yughott Grotto, accessed from the top of Fort Ghelsba (J-8)
Waughroon Shrine (I-10) on the third floor of Palborough Mines
Balga's Dais (F-12) in Giddeus
Chamber of Oracles (E-10) Quicksand Caves
Cloister of Tides (?) Sea Serpent Grotto
Sacrifical Chamber (E-5) Den of Rancor
Qu'Bia Arena (K-8) Fei Yin

How long is the BCNM battle?
You have a time limit of 30 minutes. (50BCNM Time Bomb is an exception to this).

What happens if we get killed or time over?
You can choose to Reraise if possible and if the time limit has not expired. You can also wait to Reraise after the time limit, and be ejected from the Burning Circle arena automatically. If you cannot defeat all the NMs before the time limit, you will be ejected from the Burning Circle arena. You can also choose to leave the field if you go back to the Burning Circle.

If I die in a BCNM, do I still lose experience points?
Yes. However, the amount you lose is based on that particular BCNM's level cap. Eg: If you are level 50, and enter a 40BCNM and die, you lose the amount of experience points as if you were lv40 (536exp). If you are lv38 and die in a 40BCNM, you lose 520.

lv40 - 536exp loss | 402exp loss with Raise/Raise2/Raise3
lv50 - 616exp loss | 462exp loss with Raise/Raise2/Raise3
lv60 - 1600exp loss | 1200exp loss with Raise | 400exp loss with Raise2/Raise3
lv70 - ? (currently don't have formula for this level)

What do I get if the BCNM battle is won?
Once all NMs are defeated, an Armory Crate will appear. Target and attack it to end the BCNM battle. Depending on how many party members you have, items will be available in the Treasure Pool to lot on. The rewards can either be equipment, magic spells, gems, guild supplies, or money. It is up to your party to decide on lotting rules, after a certain time has passed, it will auto distribute if no one has passed or lotted.

The Orb is still in my inventory after I won/lost. Can I use it again?
No. You can trade the Orb back to Shami, or just toss it.

I have an Orb and we?re at the right place, but we can?t enter!
If another party was ahead of you, and enters the Burning Circle (either mission or BCNM) you have to wait about 10 minutes until you can enter the field.

Great topic very informative .. Gonna spread the love ..
thanks estya

[Nerv]

Yay!

[Awntawn]

Here's a tip. Don't fsck up horribly

[Lone Dragon]

What's a good Set up for most BCNMs?

I always hear Monk is good, but besides a WHM, what is needed?

I guess for fights like the one with nothing but worms,
you can put them all to sleep and nuke one at a time....
wont need melee at all. :x

[Dont Bot Play Fair]

I thought we weren?ft supposed to tell anyone about that >< o well we kicked ass next fight anyway Just a little general tip for people who haven't done any BCs. There are only 2 different types of BCs. One's with 7+ things to kill and others with only 1 thing to kill.

What is kind of cheap about BCs is that most you can't do unless you have 4+ BSTs or 1 BRD. Mostly even BSTs don't work as well because some of the BCNMs are Beastmen and you can't tame those. So before you start saying what PT setup you think might work, it doesn't go anywhere without a Bard unless it?fs only of those single enemy ones~

[Izual]

Any stradegy tips for bc60 fights? I'm probably going to do the one in Pal mines (good drops, no monk-types with hundred fists). Party setup will be drk, thf, war, rdm, blm, brd.

Putting the whole group to sleep and fighting them one at a time seems like the obvious stradegy choice, but will sleep work on them? Seems like that would make things too easy. Anyone who has done this before, please let me know what you did to win
