Have you checked your servers bazaar? I think 1.5m or so per item would be a safe bet.

Go to achievements and look up the top endgame shells on your server. Either send a tell to someone with a sack or check their LS websites.

You can also just keep seeking in Dragon's Aery, Valley of Sorrows, and Behemoth's Dominion until you spot a bunch of people in zone, then just go there and ask whomever gets claim.

Getting timers is easiest after a server reset because the windows are open as soon as the server goes up.

Alternatively, MNK/NIN can duo Adamantoise and probably Behemoth on a level 80 cap. Free beats paying for the drops any day of the week.

You can also do KS99 for the drops. Wyrm can be done with a PT of 6, and the Behemoth with not much more than that. Need a bunch of BLMs for easy Tartaruga Gigante, tho.

Overall, the easiest and cheapest path is to get claim on Adamantoise and Behemoth until they drop, then get some friends to do a Wyrm KS99 run.

Good Luck to you, sir.

On top of this, I recommend trying to claim HQ kings and giving it to LS's in exchange for the drops.

Most LS's will gladly let a BB item slip if they can get hold of a HQ King for it~ Just be ready to hold it for a couple of minutes if you decide to try this.

My old EGLS was at the point of giving BB items for free, Way more BB items than demand for BB items.

I suspected as much but I actually quit the game about a year and a half ago.

I used to do six man Wyrm KS99 with 3 RNGs and 2 RDM/NINs. I was usually SMN, but SCH is probably more useful.

It's not that hard, I've watched a MNK hold for 5min solo. And let's be serious, if you have an agreement before it pops then you should only be holding for ~9 shadows max.

With some decent gear swaps and a little preperation, it's hardly difficult.

They will just wait for you to die... or call a GM lol. Even if they agree to give it to you for free (which most won't cause they charge 1~2m...) they can just be lying and get the claim. If you can't kill, that's an easy way to get on peoples nerves.

I've yet to see this happen, ever >_> If there's no competition, they might let you die (in that case though, why are you trying to claim?), otherwise most will gladly take a free HQ King for a 1M hit to their bank.

GM's also won't do anything because the NM's have Rage Timers to prevent excessive holding.


Admittedly HNMLS's could be lying and say they'll give you a BB item in exchange for a King, but doing that would be pretty damaging to their reputation, putting their LS Bank down pretty far at the end of the month because people just won't buy off them.


On Sylph at least, there's 2 LS's that have openly admitted they give away BB items because they have no use for them.

You can hold KB as a MNK/WAR kiter for a few minutes if you know EXACTLY what you are doing. Aspid presents problems in CC, but it is manageable as a MNK/NIN. If you are there as a duo trying to claim the NQs, you can last quite a bit longer. In either case, holding Nidhogg is all but out of the question for anything longer than an elemental seal-sleep 2 (and you'd almost have to claim with that). Note that you shouldn't be MNK/WAR at Behemoth if your intention is to duo the NQ.

Honestly, I wouldn't even camp when HQ is due. You will have far less competition for NQ only. You may have to camp full time, tho, if you don't have a friend in an LS who camps the HQs who is willing to pass on the time after the HQ dies.

Holding KB on MNK? You run away from it, not that hard to hold really.

Tell me how long you will last. This is the damn internet... what makes you think these cutthroat HNMls will give a ***what one person thinks or feels after they were lied to? Most that camp now don't care, and really you think they won't ever get a buyer again?
