Vana'diel Bestiary: Bloody Coffin
|  | ||||||||||||||||||
soloed as 61 rdm with blm sub. like the other rdms, i converted twice. aspir every minute gave me 50-60 mp. i shouldve used dagger for energy drain. paralyze sucks.
The best part of Final Fantasy XI is its rich storyline. It separates this game from other MMORPGs. I chose to give my character a storyline that goes along with the game's storyline. I find that this is a more fun way to play the game. Playing the game just to fight in the endgame and collect elite equipment is very boring and is totally missing the main objective of the game, which is to guide your character through the storyline which is to save the world.
Spent literally 30 minutes fighting this frickin crab solo as 63RDM. Converted twice, and Energy Drain was about the only thing keeping my MP up as well as Refresh.
1) He misses not as often as you think
2) If he hits you there is a chance you will be paralyzed, whether you have Stoneskin up or not
3) That paralyze, though doesn't last long, just SUCKS
4) It takes very little damage to both physical and magical - IMO, you're better of melee'ing instead of wasting MP to nuke it.
5) Keeping it silenced will save your ***
6) If you have to sleep it, I suggest you use a Dark Staff to do so, there is a chance even with a DS + Sleep II it might get resisted >.>
7) Honestly best fight I ever had solo, truly was something of accomplishment :D

I just finished soloing this guy as my 61 smn. He really does warrant a pty. This crab is no joke. I used the typical Carbuncle diversion technique. Here and there I called another avatar to cast a blood pact but that only seemed to waste mp. The most powerful one I casted was thunder IV which did a little over 100 dmg. Everything else did in the 20s which is a little shocking. He uses ice spikes, metallic body, bubble curtain, bubble shower, paralyze, haste, slow, and all typical crab moves. Patience is the key to this fight. He took me 30 min to kill. He has very high defense so don't expect a fast kill. I would guage him as lvl 60-65. I would recommend a pty for him. When I got out my staff and started helping Carby near the end of the fight, it made a difference. Fun quest and fun fight. Good luck. ^^

this crab is so easy ... however here`s what makes him hard ..
1) he does metallic body like every 15~20 sec
BRD abd RDM took turns dispelling him ..
2) his DEF isn`t somthing to take easily ..
Asuran fist = 150 dmg , Tachi: Kasha = 160 dmg
3) he does resist magic almost aswell as melee ..
Thunder III = 180 dmg only (by lvl 70 taru BLM)
good points:
1) as all pple here said earlier he misses like crazy .. dmg isn`t that tough either.
2) his HP doesn`t seem that much either ..
probably 6~8k HP ..
in the end i wish luck to everyone going to kill him ^^

Easy to kill? ha.... for lvl 70+ solo maybe, or maybe easy in a PT. I can tell you this ... i tried to solo him as a THF/MNK 58... yah .. i lost, took him down to about 1/8 or less of his life before i used Perfect Dodge and Flee. With Dodge on he missed alot, but when he did hit .. he was doing 40-60 DMG to me. Raging fist hit it for 330+ and would take a chunck out of his life, my normal hit were doing about 8 DMG and with acid bolts 10-12 DMG. Blind bolts didn't seem to help much nor did bloody bolts. I think i could of killed him if i had more Hi-Potions (3 wasn't enough) well good luck to all that wish to solo him ... it's a fun fight ^^
ps killed him later that day with a lvl 75 JP PLD

I solo'd him at lvl 63 rdm converted once as long as your patient with the fight you'll win
Soloed easily as DRG72/WHM12 (gimp sub><)
Fight took about 1-2 min.
At about 30% hp he starts to double attack alot and uses ice spikes and other buffs.

Soloed him as a RDM63 without too much trouble. Just took about 15 minutes since I was barely hitting him. I didn't get any experience, so he's definitely not too high-level.

I'm a 56 monk, was wearing 2 phalnax rings and this guy ate me alive, I'd guess his level at 60-65 or so.

/poke jimmahia :P nice pic jimma!

This guy is an evil little ******* - High def, double attacks like a crazy, and uses various RDM spells like Diaga, Blind, Enwater. I'd say it was round about the same level as Robber Crabs in Kuftal tunnel.
Good lord it's huge. Go red mage!
