I'm about to do this mission around this week, based from faq on the site. It's recommended to have silent oils and yagudo drinks. Fighters should buy a couple of hi-potions.
==FFXI Online FAQ==
When Shadow Lord enters its invincible mode (you'll see the fighters doing only 0 damage), the mages should start firing damage spells (preferably ancient spells). If out of MP, use yagudo drinks, or even use the black mage 2 hour skill to continue bombing. When the invincible mode is over, the magic attacker should rest MP. The rest of the fight should not be a problem.

After the first form of Shadow Lord is beaten, you'll see an event. After the event, fighters use the silent oil, and the mages can use silent oil or sneak. After that, rest the HP and MP. Be careful if sneak is about to be wear out!

When everybody is in full health and ready to fight, everybody come in close to fight the 2nd form of shadow lord!!

In this form, all Shadow Lord does is a wide area attack. All mages should simply use their curega spells. All fighters should activate their 2 hour skill and use their strongest weapon skill whenever they can (no renkei). Shadow Lord should be killed rather easily in this mode.

Seems rather simple :sweat:
