BCNM 20-Charming Trio.

Me and a few members of the linkshell I'm in are going to do try and do this today in a few hours. I'm going as WHM/BLM and one of them is NIN/WAR or WAR/NIN. We can probably pick up another person from the LS when we get start. Are there any suggestions? I logged in earlier and bought 4 Yagudo Drinks(1 Per fight, extra just in case) and a Hi-Ether for an emergency. I'm going to ask the other two to buy about 6 Hi-Potions(2 per fight). Are there any suggestions that could help me?

I'm going to go in, buff, eat melon pie and rest. Then I'll cure sparingly while they fight Pepper. After they kill Pepper they'll move on to Prune and then the last Leech.

Suggestions?

Re: BCNM 20-Charming Trio.

I personally take a War/Mnk or War/Blu as your main tank - War/Nin is pointless at that level (and Nin will have real trouble generating enough hate at that level to main tank), a Whm/Blm and an extra melee DD, be that Mnk/Drg/Rng/Sam/Drk.

Tank eats Crab, DD eats Meat, Whm eats +mp food.

Tank runs in, engages, provokes middle leech and runs in to melee range. Melee DD attacks the same leech. Whm readies a big cure spree - as the three leeches open with a big drain x 2/3 opening which can really hurt your tank if your Whm is unprepared.

Once the first is down, move onto the second and so on.. I think Prune is the last one to kill usually, but I've fought them out of sequence without losing... so.. it may not make that big a difference.

Additional help items: Pamama Au Lait/Pear Au Lait + Def Food for tank + 1/2 Hi-Pot if things go sour. Mulsum/Hi Ether/Yag Drinks for mages. Hi Pot x1/2 for melee DD if they are really hard hitters.

It goes without saying that you need to equip your melee's fairly decently for this.

Other than that.. the run is fairly plain sailing.

Good luck.

Re: BCNM 20-Charming Trio.

War/Mnk with a Great axe using shield break is the best tank for this. Nin will not get shadows up with 3 mobs attacking him and anything that uses MP will have it sucked clean very quickly.

I did this myself not too long ago, set up was War/mnk main tank, War/nin DD (though any melee DD with War sub can work here) and a Whm/blm.

Everyone buffs pre fight, war charges in and vokes middle leech and both the melee beat it down. When it dies it uses a big single target stat down move which drops all your stats big time. Then you move on to the leech on the right. (this is from memory mind you, so you might wanna confirm this somewhere else. ) Now when you fight the leech on the right, it will open up with a buff/debuff drain attack. Meaning all those nasty stat downs you were just hit with, as well as any buffs you had including food, are now his. But at this point you've won, just gotta finish off the leeches.

Have both melee bring hi-pots (no other kind of pot, just hi) and regen drinks and you'll have no problems.

Mann hands drop 100% of the time here.

Re: BCNM 20-Charming Trio.

Strategy has been pretty much covered here. I think the move that removes the buff is called Deep Kiss, so kid your tank about making out with leaches... always gets a chuckle.

I would try for a dragoon for DD. Heavy armor (lizard is heavy? :O ) and comes with a 4th party member (wyvern). I did this a few times with war/mnk, drg/war, whm/blm and it made the fight very easy. The only hard part was when all 3 mobs were on the tank. Don't panic, just keep a steady Cure going, with Cure II when the tank falls a little low. After one is dead the others fall pretty easy.

Re: BCNM 20-Charming Trio.

The best part about war/mnk tank is you can counter any attack that comes at you from in front. So if you keep all three leeches in front of you, you may be able to hit one that you didn't even target.

Re: BCNM 20-Charming Trio.

I'm back. We're 1/3 on this one. The first fight our tank didn't Hi-Potion in time and died. The second time we were successful. The Tank was Using Hi-Potions fairly frequently until Pepper died. Then they concentrated on the right one. They eventually killed the other leeches and it was the tank's orb and he got: Platoon Disc, Mannequin Hands, Wool Cloth, Fiend Blood, and some other stuff(This fight was on Lightsday). Everyone was about 1/2 HP at the end of the fight. We were out of potions and decided to try it again. We died. : ( But we're going to try it again tomorrow with more Pots.

Re: BCNM 20-Charming Trio.

Take a DRG or two with you next time. DRG and Wyvern do a lot of damage. I've seen a DRG drop 300dmg on a leech with Jump and Double Thrust. PUP can fill in, but those fights seem to last longer than the DRG fight. Smoothest this has ever been it was WAR/MNK w/ Great Axe, DRG/WAR, WHM/BLM.

I wanna try this as DRG/WAR x2 and WHM, or just 3 DRG/WHMs. Just haven't set it up, and found a group that had enough seals that they didn't care if they lost. lol

Re: BCNM 20-Charming Trio.

Today we went but our WAR/BLU was AFK when I logged in. So me and the tank prepped up and I started shouting in Jeuno. 2 hours later(>.<) a DRK/WAR offered to go. Well then we made it to Balga's Dais. Used my orb and the battle went smoothly. Too smoothly. Me and the Tank were like "WTF?" when Pepper went down in under a few minutes. Then there were really no close encounters afterwards. Finished in 6-7ish minutes. Yesterday we had a completion time of 8-9minutes. We're doing it again tomorrow for the DRK. But yay! I got my Mannequin hands


Anyone know how much they sell for on Gilgamesh? ; ) A few weeks ago they were 300-450k I think....
