I was in Crawlers' Nest today hunting the Water Element and I died 3 times trying to kill it as 52BLM/26WHM. Luckily, a party nearby kept giving me raises. After my previous 3 deaths, I decided to try once more. Half way into the battle it woke up and started hitting me before i could get up to sleep it. Almost all the healers in the three parties started casting cures on me until it was dead ^(*^-^*)^. I got my Bag of Seeds and gave free Warp IIs for everyone in the zone for about an hour.
I remembered being in parties Pre-December and noticed it rained alot with the eles always there........I came back after all this time and noticed that it rains a whole lot less there.......Is there a drought in Crawlers Nest?!?
Does it need to rain in Crawler's Nest for these to appear?
...I've waiting for several hours over the past day or two, waiting for rain so I can go seek one of these out, but it hasn't rained at all. I also looked around for them without the weather showing up, but haven't seen them either. Any hints? I really want/need my AF. ;_;
Soloed water elemental as 52 blm/whm without any food/drinks. It checked as even match. Used thunder2>sleep2>aspir>repeat. Sleep2 wasn't resisted at all with 115 enfeeble skill.
The elemental only casted enwater, aquaveil and water2 when I was fighting it. I was able to interrupt most of it's spells with sleep. Thunder staff helped with the +15 water resist. So the spells it did land on me didn't do much damage.
I rested at about 20% MP just to make sure I didn't run out of MP. Overall, it wasn't too difficult. I only took about 2 hits from it when I first attacked it.
I solo'd a CN water elemental as 52 blm/nin to get this for my Blm AF boots quest. Ironically, already having the boots would've made solo'ing things easier...
This was essentially what I did: Sleep 1/2 (move out of melee range) >> Utsusemi >> Bind >> /Rest >> Aspir >> Thunder2 >> repeat
I used a bit of Hi Ethers too, might want a yag drink or something. Only really prob was when it decided to use Waterga, brought me down to 300 hp. I slept it, Ele Seal'd Drain, and rested up.
You could probably also do this as Blm/Whm and just try to keep it bound/silenced/sleep'd, but /whm Blink is pretty easy for an EM mob to hit you through, Utsusemi is a sure thing (assuming it doesn't use Waterga, but I recovered from that, in retrospect I should've been ready to Stun -ga spells)
Okay, I got this drop soloing soldier crawlers and rumble crawlers as a THF60/NIN30, occasionaly taking out an elemental. I didn't know what it was for so I took it to my mog house to check. Noticed they are NOT plantable.
I just soloed the Water Elemental for the bag of seeds in Crawlers Nest last night for the BLM AF2 quest as lvl 57 BLM.
It registered Decent Challenge to me so I thought Id shout for help. After doing so this pty engaged the elemental and then quickly cast Escape after figuring out they had no chance of success. I figured what the hell I'll give this a go on my own. It basically had full HP when I engaged it.
The key to winning this fight as lvl 57 BLM is proper use of Silence, Bind, Sleep, Sleep II, Drain and Aspir, and the occasional use of Thunder II, Cure and Cure II.
The Elemental hit hard around 48-69 HPs each hit. If youre getting hit then properly time a Bind then run back for a Drain. My Drains were taking about 133-196 HPs from the Elemental which really helped out after getting hit. After your Drain cast Sleep or Sleep II (which ever has refreshed first) then go for an Aspir. Keep this general strategy going and squeeze in a couple Thunder IIs or so when you feel comfortable using it based on your mp level. Silence also helps as this elemental likes to cast Water II which can do some good damage. Took me about 10 minutes to win the fight. At the end I had plenty of MP and HP to spare thanks to Aspir and Drain. It was a great fight, lots of fun.
Got my bag of seeds plus 50 exp and a water cluster.
If you need help with this fight and your on the Remora server send me a /tell Elijah I'll be more than happy to help you out. =P
These are used for BLM AF2 and are not useable under any other circumstance. If ya got 'em and you're not a BLM (or don't plan on being one) they have no other uses that I know of.
As far as I knew (I could be totally off), these seeds are not plantable. The reason for this is because they're used for Black Mage's AF2 and are only found in Crawler's Nest off of Elementals.

Posted:Apr 01 2004 at 1:22 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) you have to plant your seeds, and depending on what you feed it (what type of crystal) It'll give you something. Ex I bought a bag of vegetable seeds in AH and planted them, gave it a fire crystal, and soon it gave me 11 boxes of taru taru rice. (though worthless it was fun ^^) Check you plant once a day (our time, not game time) and in a couple days you'll have a bloomed flower with a prize ^^
