Meh not rly. If it's just one, sure. There's like 6-10 pops at that camp though. With my killspeed dealing that much dmg, no way I'd say alive w/ all of them on me at once
150 elementals on light day or weather. Mostly just super time consuming but yeah.
You're doing it wrong. Meriphataud Mountains (S) has 2 Yagudo Summoners at the entrance to Castle Oztroja (S). You just kill the pet elementals there. On RDM80/SCH I can kill solo about 30/40 of them before lightsday ends.
If you go with 2 people there, you can split up. One person stays at the Castle Oztroja door and the other in the open field. You'll get the kills for both.
Usually, 2 T3 and 1 T2 nuke can kill the elemental. If you link the Yagudo, just sleep and zone to the Castle.
The only elementals they summon is Wind, Fire and Earth. If it's fire and earth, you pull with silence. If it's wind, start off with Stone IV (If you are on RDM). If you're a BLM must be even easier. Let them hit you with Stoneskin, Blink, Phalanx and Aquaveil up, as they won't do much damage. If they cast AM, eat it. Only problem is aga-III, which you can sleep any of them easily.
Not really sure how I am doing it wrong compared to your "better" method. I am around 4-5 smns and one shotting them for probably more xp. Or just 2 smn and alot of danger for ALOT more xp
Where?
For the lower lvl ones... like I'd say around lvl 80ish just outside of Castle zhal S. Lots of aggro all around but fairly easy sleeps lots of room and can often nuke from a different lvl.
For the higher lvl ones like lvl 83 inside. Not really lots of aggro but it's pretty hard to avoid and not sure if there is a place you can safely rest without invis. Demons very resistant to sleep have been double attacked for 300+ each. Also hard to one shot without day/weather even with AM2 if you using a staff that doesn't boost dmg
They count as Elementals and as far as I could tell they don't affect Pixie hate for you. One of my ls whms thought of this when they were helping me kill T2 VNM Pixies on lightsday and got credit for a kill.
I'm on 250 Golem kills during Lightning(sday) for DEX/Acc Shamshir. If I can't find a sky LS doing Dio (who'll trust me and let me help kill) at the time, I have to resort to Fei'Yin where there is an amazing total of 5 pops with 16 min repop. Ro'Maeve is not an option, there is *1* Mythril Golem there and *** the VT ones behind the Moongates.
(On a random note, 1/1 Retaliators, MNK14, had to toss them D:)
"Defeat 400 gnat-type experience yielding creatures with the Goedendag equipped." For my Whitemage and there are only 75-78+ Gnals with high Evasion + Attack Speed, they take forever to kill...

Heh, at least you won't have an issue finding ones that yield exp <_<
tried PUP ? Easy prey should be joke, just don't engage.
They're EP, but they're weird (since apkallu hate is most likely coming into play). Certainly not 1shottable w/ pup nuking. If using whm frame, not gonna kill fast enough to outweigh the repops.
What pup strat did you have in mind?
W/ dune boots and kabobs, I'm kicking for 90-100ish. Their resistance also goes to magic, so not sure what kind of nukes I'd be getting
I was thinking of not engaging on the master and only attacking with the melee pup (without generating any hate from manoeuvers etc). Idk, it probably doesn't give hate to the puppet. Did you check on PUP if the dmg output from the melee puppet is nerfed when you got hate ?
After this current trial (100 birds on wind day/weather) I move onto 200 Malboros durring wind weather/day -_-.. REALLY not looking forward to that one..
So far all my trials have been pretty straightforward/easy.. Rabbits > Crabs > Anything > Vermin, though the crabs sucked, Thunder never wanted to pop in the tree, so was left with Vunkrel Inlet, where the weather is short lived and sporadic.
I'm working on Great Katana now, which hasn't been too bad.. But I wanted the Earth Magic Acc+ for BRD, but:
Trial 862: 250 Birds
Earth Status ailment
Trial 1722: 250 Sheep
Earth Status ailment
Trial 1723: 300 Crawlers
Earth Status ailment
That seems like it might be hard on BRD, unless /BLM with INT songs and Threnody are enough, I suppose it could be... Either way that's the Trials I'm least looking forward too.

Not personally, but wiki says phy and magic and only way I'd be able to kill it off w/o claiming is to kill it in two nukes. Otherwise it'll just regen if stays unclaimed.
So, I've been doing magians for a few weeks now and I've had some bad trials, some not so bad, but I've hit my absolute worst trial today.
Apkallu x450. These things are just plain horrible and I have 321 left to go.
I've tried them in 2 diff zones, as the hate acts differently in each.
In Zhaylaom, the more you kill, the less damage they take. After only 20 kills, I couldn't hit for more than 20 any more. Couldn't break 100 on a ws (easy prey mobs)
In Arrapago, as hate builds, they have increased link range, can now aggro, and will run away from you at low hp. When they run, if there's no other apkallu up, they will just run away from you for a while and come back. If there are other apkallu, it'll run to it and make it link and come back to you with his new friend.
At this point, with 2 or more on me, I'm using more tp to cure than I am for damage. At this rate I won't be able to outkill repop speed and I'll be dead here soon.
I can't even go to the bathroom now because if more than 3 are up at once, I'm dead.
