Vana'diel Bestiary: Skull of Pride
| 
SummaryA Sin Run is a term for an organized "hunt" for the various sin weapons. Each weaopn drops from it's respective skeleton NM. It takes a minimum of 7 people, and each of those people needs to be able to kill a different skull, because ALL SEVEN are popped at the same time. You have to beware of blood agro, no matter what level. It is easiest to do this with level 75 jobs, or jobs that are paired off to duo-fight the skeletons. All information provided is from FFXI-Atlas and Allakhazam. Sins
The 7 deadly sins are: Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath The stats for each of the skeletons are as follows:
MapsEveryone enters The Eldieme Necropolis. There is a specific position for each person. More information about how to get to that position is below. These are all the maps associated with the run. Click on a map to enlarge it.
WalkthroughEveryone must be at each spot at the same time, and everyone trades a flint stone to the tallow candle. The candles only stay lit a short time, and if you zone--they will go out. Once traded, the flame only lasts a short amount of time, so coordination is required. Once all 7 candles are lit; all NM Skeletons will pop. Drop rate is bad, but they do have good gems. You can do this as many times as you want, respawn is an hour from when the last skeleton dies. Now, how to get to the appropriate position:
Drops

Hit the I-10 entrance to Eldieme - the one SW of Upper Jeuno, the entrance with all the doors people hate.
Head to the southmost room. This requires, at a minimum, one hit of a switch; possibly two depending on whether or not doors are in your way. As such it requires two people.
Station someone at the East Panel (in the eastern square room). Have them camp the switch until the second player makes it to the southern square room. At that point have them camp the South Panel to let the first player through. Easy.
In that southern square room, sneak up and drop in the middle pit. Head to the east to reach a new map.
The Pride skeleton is found in the far southeast; that little southern turn before you would exit to the island south of Batallia.

Ok, since I just did this with friends and there was horrible information on these NM's available, I'm posting a mini-walkthrough for them.
A) Necessities:
1 flint stone per person or group of people lighting each candle.
A group, or person, capable of killing a lvl 60 NM skeleton per candle.
Maps for all regions involved (this should be common sense, but you never know.)
Silent Oils / sneak casters (for those groups /
people who would get aggro from lost souls, shadows, and the utukku near pride candle which hates lvl 75's.)
B) Locations of Eldieme Entrances Involved
D-6 (anemone room #1) Envy
G-8 (anemone room #2) Sloth
I-10 (need 2 people for this, to activate
levers) Pride
G-7 Gluttony
F-5 (beaucedine glacier entrance) Wrath
H-7 Lust
H-6 Greed
Look at map above for exact location of each candle (pride info below.)
C) Rules on Skull Popping
1) Each individual candle takes an hour to become lightable again. As you get people to each candle, check to make sure they're all lightable. If not, then you'll fall prey to rule #2. Once a candle goes out, and if one wasn't lit, then you can't pop the NM's until they all become lightable again. That means, tell all the trigger happy people with you to not touch the controller / keyboard until the leader gives the signal.
2) ALL candles must be lit at the same time for the Skulls to pop. There's a timer of about 5 min for the candles to stay lit, so there's no possible way for less than 7 people to do this.
3) Once all the candles are lit at the same time, then all the skulls will pop directly in front of you, in the alcove with the candles. They will then proceed to flay you alive. Take precautions before spawning them, such as buffs, clearing possible undead aggro, etc.
4) The drops are not automatic just because the NM's are triggerable. TH1 or 2 is advisable.
5) The flint stones are not used up on trading them to the Tallow Candles. Most you need is 7.
6) Read Okilani's post for directions on how to get to Pride candle; I wasn't the one to go to it in my group, so can't give directions.

Hey how do i spwn this nm by lighting the pride candle? Thank You
Does anyone know which enterance into Eldime you need to take to find this mob?
yes you go in the entrance to Eldeime Necropolis below the bone fence in Batallia Downs, stay along the right passageway until you come to the stone door. Somebody will have to pull the switch for you to enter. Make sure you have Silent Oils as after this drop the Utukku will aggro a level 75. Once through the stone door go left through Titan's Gate (somebody will have to hit level again for you) drop down the first sand pit in middle to the section leading to I-10 and the Pride NM Candle.
