Caedarva Mire or find a level sync for the low level slimes in Ranguemont Pass.

To save yourself some time, just use the magian trial specs. If the weather isn't coming up for the next 3 game days, I would find something else to do, whether in game or not.

I went to Ranguemont Pass with a friend and a sync and killed them. Went decently fast. There's a couple rooms with slimes, the sync can sit in a safe spot for each room, just in range for credit for both.

I went to Pashhow Marshlands (S) and did it there. Only 2 on the map but it's like raining 90% of the time and the slimes are 5 min respawns

you only have to do 10, so it goes alot faster then you'd think

This is where I did mine, I got a bad run on lightning weather only and didn't realize how fast the damn things depop if you get away from them.

Yeah it's either one or the other. But weather is really common there.

Did mine in citadel in the past, 8 slimes pop behind gate #2, a good pdt set you can sleepga all 8 and aga down, 40 kills right there, just use specs to scope out weather.

Maybe you could try Mount Zahlom. Mountain clots would count right?
Get a lot of earth weather there, even when forecast doesn't call for it.

Yeah, i dunno why they made it like that. I just remember when i was doing the trial seeing clots didn't count. Just go to citadel in the past like i said, frequent earth weather sometimes and 8 slimes behind #2

Figured this would be a good place to post this >_>

Save running back to the past for potentially nothing, you could use this site to check weather for every region in XI.

Takes about 5 minutes to update after a new day pops up, but it's pretty accurate (at least for every trial I've ever done/helped with). Also makes me think Weather is the same on every server =O

I found the Mire pretty good. theres 4 slimes pretty close at two lakes. One set is at the Sheep NM lake then just sneak up and walk through a tunnel to get to the next lake. Lots of rain or dark weather around.

Everyone save yourself some trouble and use this Reference Website.

I'm not entirely sure how they obtain the weather data to populate the charts but it's pretty accurate and I'd say the only issue with it is if you were to check it right as the day changed.

i did dyna-beauce, tried dyna jeuno, but its really easy to link everything cause all the mobs are crowded together.

dyna-beauce has only 1 pet afaik, but by the time you rest up its back, and the mobs are more spread out so as long as you watch what you're doing, you wont link
