Casual - In FFXI: 1. Any player with a job or a wife or a nagging girlfriend or a combination of two or more of the former. 2. A taxpayer.
Hardcore - in FFXI 1. Any player with minimal social or financial obligations. 2. Any player that claims outlandish scenarios on the basis that time is no object. See also: Troll.
In a perfect world with unlimited pops on the AH and no VNM competition while farming all 3 zones at once for T3 pops, sure. I'm still calling BS on 75 azdaja in 3 hours with that few pop holders though.
Grauberg has 2 KI, and its more like 45 Azdaja.
I love how everyone is trying to build a case against me based on misinformation.

and "like 45" isn't misinformation? and that would still be a lot of brews to kill 45 of them, that your friends are willingly donating.

I'd say the people that are being irrationally contrarian in regard to something they have little to no knowledge of are more trolls than the person who's both done what's being talked about and has provable timetables to support his assertion.

Explain how its misinformed.
well you claim all of your info is "provable" including your timetable (which you provide no SS or anything of your time stamps (like beginning and end points)), and its complete eyeballing. the term "like" is very relative, and hardly specific info.
This entire thread is one big straw man. Nobody has presented any counter-evidence to what I'm saying. You're all just agreeing with each other on the basis of "nuh uh".

If Fenrir is like test server in regards to competition. I'm sure you did it in a week, it's the 'casually' part that seems either made up or incredibly lucky.

Prove to me that a 5 minute maximum time limit to kill Ironclad Sunderer is unreasonable. Prove to me that 2-3 minutes to get new pop items is unreasonable. Prove to me that my VNM numbers/hour were inaccurate. Prove to me that I cannot kill 45, hell, 55 Azdaja in a few hours with constant cleaving and an Armageddon locked in transcendence.

Competition comes into play during on stage of the process. To be fair, yes, it is the longest stage by far, but with two focused players at the ready, competition is of very little consequence. Hell, at least a handful of my souls came from others' wipes.
oh wait.. by a week Minjo meant 168 hours of farming collectively guys... :P
Iron plates took a few hours on the first day, colorless souls took ~6 days on a fairly consistent 2-3 hour basis, and the Azdaja trials were finished in a few hours on the last day. My group consisted of a WHM, NIN, MNK, and THF(never engaged). My NIN was mostly useless, it just seemed like a productive way to level 90-95.
I call ***.
Been doing Ochain 'casually' for a little while, on and off, Ironclads take a while. Souls drain you, horribly (havent seen how hard it is to upgrade since they changed the KI' and Azdaja is a ***.
Ironclad takes no time at all with a good DD and the wallet to purchase pop items. Colorless Souls' drop rate on Brulo is incredibly high(eyeball ~80% double with TH6). Cleaving Grauberg for on of the two KI in the zone while Wildfire chaining Azdaja is laughable.
none of u seemed to have picked this up, well every1 picked up the BS but yeah, group consisted of a nin/thf/whm/mnk and he was wildfire chaining........

Keep trying though.
I'm not interested in arguing with you but you have to be able to see why so many people want to jump on your comments right?
What can theoretically be done does not mean it will be even if you have decent luck. And your use of casual is a far cry from the majority.
Anyhow, as my personal experience goes, it would take longer. Few people have the capacity, nor the will to be able to do the things as you describe them, much less in a casual environment of 2-3 hours a day.
Your definition of casual farming is deceptive Dodu. Many hours every single day is not "casual" at all
Well hey, if it isn't a reasonable rebuttal. I was beginning to think those didn't exist.
If a few hours per day falls out of the realm of casual farming, so be it. Given the time a lot of us spend in-game, I'd definitely consider that a fairly casual approach, but mileage my vary.

when did se make armageddon useable by every1?
BOOM Headshot.
I'm REALLY hoping TBH thats these new WS's are good, it'd be nice for us DRK's to have a crit WS lol, us Sam's to! I did Caladbolg and have no intention of going down to Masa *i know it isnt hard, hell, with Minjo's math I could do one in a day!* I'd LOVE to get an Amano, but I have a real job, a nagging GF, Call Of Duty and a social life, so thats outta the question to. So please Squuenix, be nice to us :D
Hey guys? He's not lying. The only thing he wasn't clear about is that one of the characters changed to COR for Azdaja (job changing is a radical concept, I know) and a few extra characters were on hand to hold KIs for part of that specific stage.
And seriously, Ironclads take a while? If you're focusing entirely on killing them as opposed to procs, any of the Ironclads will die in less than 5 minutes with a single competent DD. I can kill the one in Uleguerand in 2-3 minutes 95% of the time with NIN + a halfassed BLM for damage output. Most of the time it doesn't even 2hr.
Asked Camate about the video and other ws's and when they will be introduced exactly (for an official response since it hasn't been translated yet by the dev team) and this is what he said:
Yes, all 14 new weapon skills will be on the test server once maintenance is completed tomorrow So you will be able to try each and every one of them out! Hope you are looking forward to it!
I am back from a nice Thanksgiving break where I ate way too much, and I have some goodies for you all!
I have a couple of images of some of the new weapon skills that will be implemented. They look pretty impressive if I do say so myself Once all the testing has been finalized, we’ll be putting them onto the test server for you all to try out.
Without further ado...
Great Katana:
Tachi Shoha
Archery:
Apex Arrow
Scythe:
Entropy
Dagger:
Exenterator
*Please note that the English weapon skill names have not yet been finalized and are subject to change.
Right now there isn't any English translation (though I doubt they would give us much info this early other than how they look), but I will update once the official English release is out.
Hi. Is a new weapon skill have kept you waiting, come-completed one after effects and motion even while writing the text to do this? ! (Apparently this is sounds like a slightly different motion for each race. Fumufumu ...) Once finished this verification problems remain, and I also enjoy touching you on your test server soon also. Please wait for us to enjoy! ... And suddenly noticed that the writing so far. Sometimes it is left to finish this post, let's take a picture or two, one. I'll choose what image aesthetics, please wait. (What is it to see if any of this means, we try to check!)
Aaa ... Innovation, and if I have time to shoot. Excuse me. Today's the last image in that the dagger weapon skill "Monte Executive Letter" is. Lance, I Temashita jump! And wrestling is also Kakkoyokatta Sword!
Again, I'll update my post once the English version has been released.
