Wings of Fury  

Did this last night, BST/WHM, BST/WHM, SMN/WHM

Piece of cake, and while other setups might do this faster, I have trouble imagining how to make it easier than this (without any 2hr)

Go in with noble ribbon and 2 hopes ring, and tuna sushi on the BSTs for the +chr (gave a total of +12. Anything over that, like a monster sigma, would be serious overkill, as even the second BST, a mithra, had no trouble charming the bats...only slightly harder than average mobs, and MUCH easier than mobs like Blobs and other jelly types)

Smn summons Ramuh, Thunderspark (I think thats how its called?) Colo-Colo and tank the 3 bats for a sec, one BST charm left, one BST charm right, if a BST fails, merely kite the bat around the arena while either the other BST (if success) fight Colo-Colo with his/her bats, if both failed, have Ramuh continue tanking.

Once Colo-Colo is dead, merely pit the bats against each other.

Trick: if both bats are charmed and you're only waiting for one to uncharm, make it "Stay" across the arena and go at the opposite side...gives you more time to react when one uncharm ^^

Won all 3 times, and got a Thunder Spirit Pact (240k on Hades) for our trouble. Good nuff, going at it a few more times tomorrow to see if we can shoot for an astral ^^


Food used: MP food/juice for the SMN, Pamama Au Lait and Tuna Sushi for the BSTs. Thats really all we needed.

This was our first bcnm ever.

Just did this with party of bst/war, blm/whm (me) and whm/blm. We each used food, whm gave us Protectra, Shellra and Baraera, and we rest to full mp and hp. I elemental seal sleeped one of the Furies, Bst charmed the other. Charm didn't stick the first time, so whm and I kept bst healed while she tried charm again. Charm stuck on the third try. We let ColoColo and the charmed Fury go at it and we all concentrated on the Fury that was asleep. It woke up, by the way, right around the time when the third Charm stuck. We killed the Fury fairly easily, then watched the other bats fight, and rested mp a bit. ColoColo won with very little mp left, then we smacked him around and won!

Drops weren't anything great, Platoon Sword, Invis scroll, Green rock, and a Bat Wing :(

We went in a second time just to try it without Bst 2 hour. ....You need Bst 2 hour. Charm stuck pretty quick this time, but the other Fury wasn't even half dead by the time Charm wore off. Everything was downhill from there :)

A good time was had by all though, these are a lotta fun!

We tried doing this twice as two ELV BST/WHM
CHR was 26 going in and we got it up to +12 so final CHR was 38

Needless to say we died both times.
First time I mischarmed 5 times in a row and Other bst got charm but i died

Second time was quick death, both of us mischarmed

So i would say this is pure luck with 2bsts unless you have monster signa and flint caviar

BTW didn't realize it but if you lose, you keep the orb

To the person that asked if this one could be done solo like Shooting Fish by SMN, nope.

Typing this as I lie dead waiting for a raise beside the hut. lol

I did it on Iceday with Shiva. Shiva did plenty of damage with Diamond Dust. That wasn't the issue. The problem is that the arena for this one is much smaller than the other ones. You don't have the room you need to Ether/Recast.

Soon as the Avatar is dead, they are back on you too quick.

One meat shield with plenty of potions might make this a duo possibility though.

Two Bst/Whms can do this without needing a third. They just need one item of the following for each battle. Don't worry about multiple food items since it will last for both battles.
Pamama Au-Lait
Melon Juice (Yagudo Drink works if things go wrong, but it is generally overkill)

My duo and I have beat this BCNM 9 out of 11 times in a duo. One death was due to my massive charm failure (non darksday + max Chr), and the other was due to ill-timed uncharms + failed charms on both Bsts pets.

I would not suggest doing it in a duo, but any two Bsts who know how to work together can do so with a little bit of luck.

If you aren't gutsy enough to try it in a duo you can pull just about any job in as the third to help out. Obviously 3 Bst/Whm is safest for the group. Without a 3rd Bst though, you can pull in pretty much any xxx/war to tank for a bit in case charms fail, or you can pull in a healer.

After the couple deaths we decided we'd much rather have a 3rd to help out (and more chances to get gil). My friend whose only has one job above level 20 (lvl 31 War) so we brought him in as a 20War/Mnk to voke. After finding out just what he would do in battles the setup worked great.

Also if you're up for a real challenge, and have the ability to two-box then you can have even more fun. If my friend can't log one when we do BCNM then I'll log in as his character, and suit up for two boxing it. It's kinda hectic, but very thrilling to complete.

I think we're at 2 rings with 6 Spirits so far (couple lances too).

I wish I could try the BCNM as a 3 party Smn, but I'd hate to have to wait 2 hours before I could try again.

Edit: Clean up

Hello! I have done this BCNM 13 times with the same setup. BST BST WHM. It works great, we are 12/13. Only reason we lost is because we decided to use Familiar and didnt know that it lasts for 30 min. Our winnings: 2 Astral Rings, 2 Platoon Lances. I have not seen a Thunder Spirit Pact drop yet.

If anyone one on Alexander wants to do this, and has whm at lvl 20+, let me know. Tavian is the name. My friend and I are the BST's and have the strategy down pretty well. I'm always looking for a battle.

i did this today before i loged for the night
i do this BCNM w/ the same 2 people (all SMN pty), Beauu and Doman cause we are an awsome team at it^^
our first run togeather we beat the time record for it to 2min 4sec, tonight we beat it at 1min 36sec!!!!!!!!!
Our drops:

Astral Ring
[li]Ganko
[li]Ganko
[li]Bat Wing
[li]Bat Fang
[li]Scroll: Sneak

so we each got abought 176k^^ hehe

after doing steamed sprouts several times and not getting drops worth the effort my brother and I did this one again things went much better only took three diamond dust attacks total to win platoon dagger and staff bat fang and sneak scroll were the drops this time we used a different set up this time instead of the bst we found a pld who just finshed garrison in ronafaure and he said he would do this my we went it my brother and I buffed with aquaveil and protect using our yag drinks before that so we would have refresh pld casted protect and shell then rested food was fishkabob our avatars fought the furries he tanked the main bat only thing that could have gone better was that my furrie intterupted my casting and i was hit down into red life but hi potion shiva diamond dust and victory was ours

can a smn solo it using the same strategy as in the mini avatar battle? send ramuh, judgement bolt, resummon, judgement bolt

I've done this a couple of times now, and finally figured out a good strategy. My buddy and I were both smn/rdm and we had another buddy blm/rdm. The blm/rdm healed me as I went in and used Ramuh and my 2 hour. Our first time in a group of 3 we did it in 2:58. Since our blm buddy isn't on as much as us we tried it with just 2 smns. Here's how it went.

I was the leader so I went first, and boy did I get hate. I sent Ramuh after Colo-colo after all the bats grouped I used Judgment Bolt. They killed Ramuh, then my buddy used his Judgment bolt. I recasted my Ramuh, used potions and ether. My mp was 44+ and I smashed on my Judgment Bolt Macro until it finally went off. Then there went all the bats. We beat our first record (I think we got 2:26, not sure). Anyways 2 smns and a lot of hi-potions and the right macro set up you can take them down. We got the Platoon Lance and split the money. We just need more seals to get an orb and try again.

*** this is in regards to a post i read on another forum of a bst claiming he solo'ed this. i know that 2 bst could easily do this, but id just like to share with everyone my comments i made about his post in hopes that he sees this.



ive done this bcnm about 12 times, almost all were won when i used my two hour (as bst). i take a whm, smn and myself. after reading, and re-reading ur post, i will say i dont think this is possible. i argue'ed with an ls member about this today. im a 41 bst, and at lev 20 i have the absolute BEST chr gear u can have. Out of the 12 times ive done this as elv bst/whm, about 4 or 5 attempts i ran in and got the charm off the bat. BUT ive also gone in and missed 7 in a row. This is again, with monster signa, the ribbon, tuna sushi all the good stuff. the few ive done without using two hour, the bat will only hold charm for a MAX of maybe 45 secs, and for that reason, i dont think there is any way on earth u could have done this solo. the only way this would ever happen solo is if u got REALLY REALLY frickin lucky or used some really ridiculous potions, not just a hi potion. our whm has casted banish on cola and not done 21 damage with it..so how could u do that much with whm subbed? i think it would be easier to solo the 2-3 dragon than 3 bats. for the 20-30 seconds that ur bat isnt charmed, two bats smacking u will do an immense of amount of damage, u wont be able to cast cure because they are BOTH hitting u and interrupting your cast. maybe u did do this solo, but id have to see a video to believe it. thats probably why ur post was rated so low, because anyone thats done this will prolly agree with me...i mean, ive lost this bcnm with a whm and a smn lol, not because i did something wrong, but mis charms are going to happen and when they do things get ugly fast.(special note on that...the ones we lost, there was no two hour available for me to use, but we tried 1/2 the times anyways without it, we still won a few, but lost a few as well..
