NM Cactrot Rapido
It's the one in Altepa that drops the bow or w/e.
Pandemonium.Krebons said: I thought they were refering to that one in abyssea my bad... The one in the tunnel could be soloed @ 75 on bst..... which makes me puzzled... what pets would you use to solo it at 75. I thought about it before bug jugpets were pretty weak before and local pets are like lvl 40ish.

BLU/NIN soloable with Reaving Wind?
I ninja edited! rawr
Nin can solo rapido
Won't that Migawari spell or BRD Scherzo make this a joke?
yah he's pretty easy to solo for most jobs these day's id imagine..
only has 10k hp and could probably stun with violent flourish /dnc Just not sure the bow's sale price is worth the time of pulling the little ***. I'd do once for fun or to test yourself or w/e.. but camping him for gilz is dumb imo. New best way to do Rapido for Ninja:
srsly doesn't get easier then this. Only thing to be scared of is 1,000 needles. I find 1,000 needles to be a lot worse then 10,000 needles just because migawari will take care of that. EDIT: Fun fact! I still have not seen one bow drop since that first thread I made about NIN being able to solo Rapido.... over 9 months ago.

so feral howl does hit him? ill have to try that then move back and let pet fight only till feral howl is back. i dont know why i keep wanting to kill this nm. haha i dont need drop or gil. i quess just for kicks.
p.s i didnt find it too hard to agro the NM , maybe coz im Bst, just sic a pet on a catur then when its 10percent heel the pet and have the NM on widescan. only took like less then 5 mins to agro the nm. nice vid upbeat, you raped his azz. lol

I'm 100% sure this had nothing to do it skill/strat, and everything to deal with luck though. Wow didn't realize it had such little hp lol
Bahamut.Dasva said: Wow didn't realize it had such little hp lol Upbeat, maybe I'm wrong about how Migawari works, but since the NM never actually hits you, couldn't you just start the fight with <1k HP? Then Migawari would take care of 1k needles too wouldn't it?

Assuming the plague sticks (I'm pretty sure I've landed lowing on it once upon a time), reaving wind will help speed up the process, and you should be able to whittle it down without it ever tp'ing if you take your time. Would probably help if you knew exactly how much tp each spell will feed, and the rate at which it's tp goes down under plague (assuming it lands) etc. Odin.Blazza said: Bahamut.Dasva said: Bahamut.Aeronis said: Bahamut.Dasva said: Wow didn't realize it had such little hp lol Actually, a solo savage > quad doesn't give 100 tp, if you open with delta thrust > solo SC and avoid being hit, you'll have taken of a pretty decent chunk of HP and prevented it from using a tp move (turn to avoid meleeing).

Eyeballing (lol), even my mediocre equipment lets me land all hits of Quad. Cont. most of the time.
Could just assume all hits land on him, not an unreasonable assumption and it gives you a bit of safety buffer. Some Subtle Blow gear wouldn't hurt.
Ramuh.Laffter said: Eyeballing (lol), even my mediocre equipment lets me land all hits of Quad. Cont. most of the time. Then there is subtle blow and Dagi to factor in... I know it's 10tp per hit, but didn't know whether or not subtle blow (/nin and rajas) effected spells, I've never really had reason to try and find out. There's also the new AGI update on tp, I don't know if that effects spells either. Furthermore, I don't know how much tp each melee or ws hit feeds (again, no reason for me to know), or the amount of tp-/tic from either lowing or delta thrust. Nor do I know the values of tp loss from reaving wind, light of penance or feather tickle. I've played around with all of this ***before, but never found any of them to actually be in the least bit useful.
In fact, the ONLY time I've ever used them to actual effect, would be duoing rapido with my rdm friend. At 75 when I first started killing Rapido I would use:
NIN/BRD to tank it. BLU/NIN for Frost Breath/Cold Wave to deal DMG, and Feather Tickle/Lowing for TP loss. (After each Frost Breath would use 2 Feather Tickles) RDM/BLM for Haste, DoTs, and Refresh. I never got a TP off once in 15+ fights using this strat, but the fights were really really long, boring, and had to pull it to a zone so the BLU could zone if they gained any hate. At 85 I duo'd with one of my BLU friends, and he pretty much soloed the thing before zoning. He managed to get it all the way down to 21% I want to say, but Rapido decided to use 10k needles. One or two more spells could of killed it without a doubt in my mind. Also! Light of Penance failed every single cast at 75. However, now that we are 90 it might land. |
