I have only been to the Charybdis room twice. Both at 75 cap.
First time, I went to camp ToD so I could ask my LS for help after getting it. Went down... LS member who was also in another LS was there helping camp it with a friend of his. They tell me the window is open, and let me join up so I can get ToD and help claim.
Then they tell me I can lot it if we get it (two of them needed it). Window goes on forever and ever, those guys have to leave but the rest of my LS shows up. Keep camping, lots of competition.
Charybdis pops right in front of me. Caught off guard, I spam Provoke, get claim, long enough for my LS to join in, then it lays me out flat. (I was on PLD at the time... My first 75 and the only one I had back then.) Rest of the LS did the work while I lay there dead and later weakened. But I got it.
Second time, I was idle in my Mog House in San d'Oria (now with NIN leveled to 75). Got a /tell from a random JP asking if I could tank it for him, offered me something like 100k (which was a lot for me at the time), and said if I could bring my own BRD, he'd pay 300k between the two of us.
That was an easy 300k (just happened to know someone who loved being BRD at the time)... Even though he insisted I use a full evasion set and dual-Mambos, and he proceeded to do what appeared to be skilling up his magic (RDM) while we were doing it.
