Dark Legacy - DRK AF1  

I was at Jeuno tonight and met a cool Lv 75 samurai *** player. He offered to help with gil in return. We made a deal with $50k. He then invited me to his party w/ another lv 60+ ninja.No doubt, they killed him in seconds. As a lv 46 drk knight, the NM still too away 50% of my HP with 2 magic spella (Bio and Stone..i think). Hm...i think this is a good deal coz I will definately buy the rayen Scythe w/ $50k.

Well my set up was just myself and a 61RNG. I could've gotten a 60MNK and 50WHM to help, but RNG said he could easily solo it, so I thought ok. We went, killed surrounding yags, tp up. I traded cherry, Vaa casts Thundaga 370+ dmg to me, then 218 Critical, I had 25 HP left then ><. So I just backed off and RNG killed it with 10 arrows easily, had about 700/900HP left.

So basically 1 60+ DD should be fine, but I recommend a healer too, just sit back enjoy the show, & Stun when you see him start to cast (You can't stop everything, but every bit of HP saved helps)

My experiences :

Ok I decided to give this a shot with me (nin52) and a blm friend of mine (50).

First time we gave it a try it did Aga's like they were going out of fashion...in fact I am sure he did his first Stonaga 2 before he actually spawned.

I was taking a major battering and after him unloading all his mp on us (about 360dam per aga) he eventually got the better of the blm which left me and him. I had some shadows, 96hp and 96% tp and him with a slither of hp remaining. I knew whoever got the next hit would win........he used MANAFRONT (shows how much mp he hit us with) did an AGA and It was all over.

My Blm friend went to hp and was going to come back so we could revise our tactics and whoop him. While lying dead on floor a Pld farming tripped over my corpse and offered a raise which I gratefully took (lvl 58). I asked him to offer a helping hand and he kindly accepted.

Anyways, blm gets back we re engage that dirty mob and......its a piece of cake, we all end up with near full hp (pld used 2hr as he was subbing thf).

do you know why?......the damm thing didnt even do one aga, just his pathetic physical attacks (about 40 a hit on me) and maybe a poison 2 to show that he was actually a blm.

I was chuffed that he was dead but a bit pis**d at the fact that if he would have acted that way the first fight the 2 of us could have taken him down easy.

So long story short (too late i know ^^) It can be done with 2 50's however just depends on if the yag is feeling magically fustrated at the time!!!

Btw Thanks to Takedown (pld) for the raise and help and Imarian for always been there for me ^^

I took me a while to get on this quest actually, I was lvl 46 when I did it. I found whenever I went to Bastok to start it, I'd always get a PT invite and have to turn around, I never turn down invites as DRK, because they are so rare =(.

Anyways, Me and 2 LS buddies came along to help me on this.
DRK46/WAR23 <-- me
WHM40/BLM20 <-- (Was hepling do him AF1 as well)
DRG52/WAR26

When we got to Giddeus, I Decided to look at some posts on Peoples experiences on the NM, i realized we had no chance VS him alone.
I decided to look around the area to see what I could find. "Hmmm 62MNK/31WAR LFG" Maybe he will hlp. Sure enough, he tagged along to help me kill him, so we went to the ??? in bottom part of Giddeun, i go to trade Cherry to it, and nothing happens!!! I forgot to go to the Library in windy!! oh well i walked back to windy, and back to giddeus, and thank god the mnk didn't leave. Three of them gathered up 300%tp while they waited, and before we started, MNK boosted up his Chi Blast. When he spawned, we had no trouble at all, he got to cast one AoE spell, for about 200, and in less the a min, he was dead.
I go back to bastok, Obtained Item: Raven Scythe

Well, I finished this up last night. My LS buddies and I had deciede to do all of our AF1 fights in a row. We were a 42 PLD/WAR, 43 PLD/WAR, 43 WHM/BLM,and a DRK/THF 43 (me). After spending some time finding two people to join us for all 3 fights (a BRD/? 50 and a BLM/SMN 43), we all met at Ordelles's Caverns for the PLD fight. It went great. No problems at all. So we headed to Valkurm for the WHM fight. It also went great! So then I said we needed to Teleport to Mea and go to Windy for my fight (I still needed to talk to the guy in the Opistery and get a cherry). Suddenly the BLM had to go help his LS and the BRD was falling asleep. So we were now 2 members short. But we head there anyways hoping to just grab 2 more members and finish up. My Buddies headed to Giddeus to start looking for members while I went to Windy to finish up stuff there.

As soon as I enter Windy, one of the PLD's say, "Hey, I have a BLM 46, but he wants us to pay for his transportation." Well, no problem, the guy was in Quicksand Caves, our WHM could just teleport to Altep and grab him, then Teleport back to Mea. But by the time we told him that, he was back in Jeuno (he used an instant warp scroll). So, we tell him to take the airship, but he says "You don't know how much I am helping you, do you?" So we told him not to bother. He insisted he was coming though. So we wait for him for a bit while looking for another person to help, but none around are free at the moment (Even though they were LFP).

Finally the BLM gets to Giddeus and he has switched himself to anon. He tells one of our PLD's that he needs his shield. We all went, Huh? Suddenly, he equips full PLD AF armor. He was over lv. 60 and changed jobs just for this. Needless to say, Vaa Huja was owned. I got my item and got my scythe, but I was disappointed that we didn't beat this guy with a party full of consistant levels. Truely, I didn't want high level help.

Oh, and just for the record, his AOE sweep attack is nasty. Hits hard and stuns for a long time. Sleepga isn't very nice either.

I more or less soloed this as 57 DRK.
He got me down to around 150 HP before I killed it.

Used drain a couple of time to regain HP + 2hour+souleater is a nifty combo ^^

Mages please stand back, it does some nasty AoE + Sleepga. Had a 58 BLM&41 DRK with me but they were asleep almost the whole battle because of sleep.

I did this with a 61 mnk, 59whm, and me a 44 drk This was extremely easy, mnk used hundred fist whm used holy and some other stuff, and then finished it with Raging Fist. the mob didn't even have time to pull of manafont. Silence resisted though so I'd try and get an rdm or someone who can silence it for sure.
