I'd like to alert the mods that the proper spelling is Succession. If this is a misspelling within the game and is being left in for consistency's sake, please ignore this message.

Thanks! :)

This was not an easy BC!

Party

SAM/WAR
WHM/BLM
BLM/WHM


Tried this three times...0/3. These 5 mobs were just too much to handle all at once. Youve got to kill off the Monarch first or he will gain the Invincible ability, so having to start with the toughest mob and work through the ranks was difficult. Possibly the wrong party setup for this. WHM tried sleeping the other four while BLM and SAM worked on Monarch, but as soon as sleep wore off, they tore into us like Hell Monkey's on crack cocaine. Actually killed Monarch and Heir, but by that time mages were low on MP and no time to rest. I would recommend NIN as either main or sub of tank since opo-opo's can hit twice in a row. That may help keep WHM from curing constantly. BRD might be good idea cuz he can help sleep the other mobs, and help keep focus on one at a time.
Anyway hope this helps somebody. lol

I was just curious to know if anyone has any suggestions for a party set up, since the last update changed rangers pretty dramatically. I'd like to give this BCNM a whirl, but I don't want to go in unprepared.
Could this work
# Aug 27 2005 at 1:47 AM Rating: Decent
If a SMN entered this arena alone, and send Ramuh on a killing spree, then Casted his 2hr, Will this work or will it be Stupid to do??? Im just curious... I know a SMN has a badd *** 2hr so Info will be great... thx

You can do Royal Jelly. it also drops Ni, aswell as erase and archer's ring. you can go as a sam. i've done it with: rdm, drg, sam. rdm, drg, drg. rdm, drg, drk and i hear rdm, drg and mnk works too
is the group good???
# Jun 09 2005 at 5:35 PM Rating: Decent
me and my friend went into this place. this was the frist time any of us did a BCNM40 and we got owned. we were 40Thf/18Nin<me> 40WHM/20SMN and a 40NIN/20WAR. we all died in like 3mins. i woas wondering if ppl could help us out if so thx for the help<in advance>^^ /bow
RE: is the group good???
# Jul 10 2005 at 8:05 AM Rating: Decent
just a thought: for the ones wit multiple enemies (almost all of them) bring a BRD and sleep all but 1 at a time. other mems could be a RDM for healing/nuking and a NIN so less healing is needed.


character: Frostbyte
server: Seraph
job: THF43/NIN 17
LS: PrimaMateria

The gilsellers will eventually go down with the rest of us...as soons as the noobs who buy the gil do. O.o
Harder

I think it got harder after the update too.

I beat it about 6 times before the update without a problem but I did 3 runs after it and we lost each time. We tried again later and won twice but didn't get any good drops. Just cheap lvl 40ish JSE weapons and pamamas.
suggestions plz

one helpful hint...
Many of the comments here recommended pld voke monarch n flash opo opo E...
however... when the healer heals PLD.. opo opo E will Attack the healer...kinda messy
so.. solution just let the pld run in first to aggro all the opo while the rng pulls
healer will only get hate from monarch

Oh ya the monarch will cast hastega n stonga...
be sure to silence monarch at all times...
advice?
# Mar 09 2005 at 5:17 PM Rating: Decent

can someone tell me what arrows n such the ranger used when you won
Sleepga
# Feb 10 2005 at 10:09 PM Rating: Decent
Would a SMN/WHM, PLD/WAR, and DRK/WAR be able to handle this?

More importantly, would Shiva's Sleepga be effective?

I do this one all the time, as SMN/WHM. I go with PLD/WAR and SAM/WAR. I do not recommend a DRK for one reason: you need to get thru the weak 3 fast. SAM, MNK work really well for that, from my experience. My only failures (out of many wins) were when I tried with my sis, who is DRK. Just too slow, the PLD runs out of potions and dies before you can kill them.

As for sleepga, with a fast DD, no need at all. We do it like this: PLD runs in, vokes the monarch, flashes the Epa-Epa. SAM runs in, vokes the Apu-Apu (weakest one), and I pull Shiva and sic her on Spo-Spo. With capped summon skill, Shiva can pretty well solo this guy, without needing resummon, while SAM builds TP on Apu-Apu the uses 2hour on Epa-Epa. SAM then kills Spo-Spo (who is nearly dead anyhow) and starts beating up the Heir. PLD is hitting Monarch the whole time. When SAM takes the Spo-Spo, put Shiva on the Monarch. Now, here is the tricky part. Heir and Monarch MUST die simultaneously. So have SAM disengage when Heir is at about 10% life left, and assist with Monarch. When SAM goes to Monarch, retreat Shiva so she doesn't accidentally kill it. When Monarch is at 10% life, both PLD and SAM disengage. PLD voke Monarch, Flash Heir. SMN use Diamond Dust. Victory!! Enjoy your winnings, we make about a mil every 3 orbs.

Currently the only job I have leveled to 40 is SAM and i normally sub THF (works for farming as well as exping) would this combo work, or is it necessary to use WAR sub.
Also, does the SAM need to have uber eqp? ex. Jujitsu Gi, Peacock Charm

In the above post it was mentioned that the PLD needs to bring potions; how many would u say? and does teh SAM need to do so as well?
Advice on food???

Answers to any of the questions will be greatly appreciated; Thank You !!! \(O.O)/

Our Linkshell in the Server Slyph decided to give this BCNM a shot. We went in with;

40 RNG/NIN
40 BLM/WHM
40 PLKD/WAR

We have done this a total of 6 times and have recieved Jagd Gorget 5/6, Scroll of Erase 1/6 and Utuesmi: Ni 1/6. With a couple good items on the side.

The first time we went in there we had no idea what to expect. We did some what ok but one of them members died so we are basiclly screwed. The Second time Heir and Monarch were not close enough to die and only one died and we were slaughtered. After these two tries it has been a breeze and we moved the record from 8 minutes down to around 7 minutes 39 Seconds. New record on Sylph.

Anyone feel free to share the record on other servers and happy hunting people
