These things are more or less harmless. Myself (50whm) and Lucidric (50mnk) were helping Cyriel (42rdm) to get his Vazhl tele crystal. Its spells were annoying, but harmless, and its melee attacks aren't too stellar either. We basically ended up duo-melee'ing the thing to death.
Farming With WHM?

Would it be a good idea if my WHM fought these things? I really need the clusters but the weakest Dark Elementals are only in Beaucedine Glacier. Currently, I am a 57WHM/28SMN. I could use Light Staff or my AF Club so that I can do Serphera Strike. I ask this mainly cause all elementals are dealt damage by casting magic that they are weak to, hence being a WHM I would be able to cast Banish, Banishaga, Banish II, Banishaga II, Holy, and Erase. I think I may try fighting some of these things if I get on tonight. I just would like to know the spawn points of these things.

shouldnt be too hard killing them as whm, tho u might not wanna nuke too much, banish isnt overly powerful and u cant regen that mp that fast. For lvl57 u should also notice that u will most likely get aggro from other mobs. Magic isnt that necessary to kill elementals as long as u have elemental ws (i mainky use cyclone/gust slash when killing elementals with my brd or thf or rdm)

EDIT: erase is extremely useful against the dark, they tend to spamm bio and absorb like mad

Anyone know where they spawn in Beaucedine Glacier?

Found one at NW most corner of H-10 at the edge of a cliff. I'm guessing because they're "Dark" they will spawn in caves or in areas that are set away from the main areas.

By the way, I solo'd it as RDM58/THF27 [THF subbed for farming purposes].

i was farming those the other day in Xarcabard and one of i was getting beastmen seals while killing them, i've gotten like 3 - 4 out of those, they're EP to me, 63 monk
gah

I cannot kill these things worth a damn as blm 63. Sure my magic gets unresisted... heck, put on your INT++++ gear, and go to town. But damn, between aspir, bio II, and drain, I cannot kill 2 of these straight in the glacier... I MUST REST. One of these things takes me down to about half HP and MP.

Use rng sub and waste a trip up there if you have to. Anyway, here's the best way I could find to kill these things, equip your club, sub whm, and find out where they spawn. Use your Seraph Strike to do max dmg cuz its weak against light. My club is only a hair above 100 btw. AF gear is a must for BLM, since you need to enfeeble these things to hell. They do me 20-30 dmg per hit when it lands. Erase will be so good when I hit 64, and get enough gil (whm sub). BIO II takes too long to get off. Too bad my divine is like 62 =P

I farm them as a blm 55, none of my magic gets resisted.
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 24 2004 at 11:07 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Sigh.... Bio2, aspir and drain are dark spells. dark elementals resist dark spells.... u do the math. Try Dia, Banish or Holy

To anyone looking to farm these, they pop in all the little crevice things leading to the caves in Xarbacard. The caves are the Gankai II caves as well. Just go near those caves, and you're bound to find one.

This elemental is cooler than the others, are those little black wing things part of it, or is that a spell that the RDM cast?

Is it recommended to farm these as a RDM58 in xarcabad?
