Seductive Radiance - SMN's inquire within.
By Zoltar 2014-12-02 22:27:12
0/2 so far, but 3 treasure pools has me optimistic
Did Thunderspark method, slow but effective
Also did Flaming Crush Method, took (3) 10k BPs to put them down but recommend using Meteor Strike because both frequently use Perfect Dodge

So if this BC only drops Foreboding, do others drop the other Legion abjurations? If so, does anyone happen to know which?
All are Zelos Orb (50 Kindred Crest) BCs:
Corvine (Hrafn) - Horlais Peak: Last Orc-Shunned Hero
Supernal (Tenryu) - Waughroon Shrine: Shell Shocked
Transitory (Kheper) - Balga's Dais: Avian Apostates
Foreboding (Auspex) - Chamber of Oracles: Dragon Scales
Lenitive (Paean) - Sacrificial Chamber: Whom Wilt Thou Call
The above is correct. You can verify it by looking the abjurations up on FFXIDB. Just a correction, it's Deimos Orb, not Zelos. The Dragon Scales fight is stupid easy on blu with subduction spam. 1.5 mins per fight. Takes longer to npc the drops and clear out inventory than anything else.

Just landed Foreboding Body, but I already have that. :/
I gave up trying to balance damage with Nirvana. It's just a straight zerg-fest for me.

How much damage are you hitting them for with Nirvana? Just curious. I'm averaging 10-12k w/o

Thunderspark was only hitting one of them for whatever reason so I switched to Predator Claws (which took roughly half their HP) for around 14k-ish damage - give or take. I had a few missed BP's before I realized they periodically do Perfect Dodge. -_-
By Zoltar 2014-12-03 11:20:53
that's funny because I had the same issue with thunderspark and I believe it's because the dragons are so big that they aren't close enough to hit both of them at the same time with thunderspark

350 Seals - 0 Drops.
What's the fastest way to farm seals? :(
I'm just going to work on Unity quests or solo in Gates to farm them.

Or ask someone to merc it, should have someone with countless crests, like me, that could burn them for some cash.

I burned 4400 points on Crests. It's a shame you can't mule for them.

0/10 so far, but I did get Foreboding Abj: Legs
Still no hands, about 500 KC's left ;;

During this same campaign, seals are dropping as many as 6 at a time (based on party size). Going to an Abyssea worm party, you'll see the treasure pool filled with Kindred Crests. It's like, each party in the alliance can get seals to drop every 5 minutes, so in a 5 minute time you could see as many as 18 Kindred Crests.

Since it's gonna be difficult to get the Hexed Gages -1 I decided to dbox my foreboding hands I got yesterday and try to get another (so I can NQ one while I wait for a HQ) Now I'm 2/2... if only my luck would be like this in other area of the game!

Does Treasure Hunter affect this?

I've gotten both of mine without TH, someone said earlier in the thread that it does not but I'm not sure myself
By Pantafernando 2014-12-04 02:26:15
Does Treasure Hunter affect this?
I think no, because supposedly just works "unlocking" drop slots, and those bcnm have a fixed number of drop slots (6 drops per nm killed that can drop).
Most believed theory is th do not affect what item will drop from a drop slot (dring/pixie earring case).
By Crevox 2014-12-04 02:58:10
Yay, got it third try, thanks very much for sharing this info!
Highest damage I did was a 18900 Flaming Crush, no Nirvana of course.

Can the other area's that drop different Legion Abjuration be solo'd with say MNK or THF? Seeing as this is old content. Or does the area that includes 6 mobs a bit harder?

Well it took around 3+ hours but I'm also 5/5 (woot). I can honestly say that I agree that the Foreboding Hands are much more rare (on average) than the other pieces. At least 5 Bodies dropped, 3 Feet, 2 Legs, 4 Head and 1 Hands. I spent a few rounds trying to farm a 2nd Abj like Harmless did but after around midnight I ran out of gas and was too tired to continue.
A super huge shout-out is in order to Decimation for burning an absolute ton of seals to help me obtain this Abjuration. After burning 350 of my own seals to no avail, I was starting to think I may not get them. Thanks!

I'll offer my solo services to anyone on Bahamut who needs help burning their crests
Here's what worked best for me:
Ifrit
Crimson Howl
Apogee
FC dragon1
FC dragon2
Alternate FCs on dragons until dead
Fwiw, I don't care what anyone says about thf not helping, because when my thf friend came we had a drop much more frequently than without

Apogee is so awesome...
I opened with it in order to do Predator Claws on both of the Dragons. Them raging really wasn't a huge ordeal but it helped balance the fight instead of having a half-dead Dragon and full HP Dragon starting to rage while waiting on the BP timer.

Isn't it dandy? :) it's going to be great for the new Wards too!
The only drawback to this strategy is where one of your dragons resists the Rage and there is a HP imbalance. When this happens, put your pet on the one that resists and DD a bit, it'll even out. Also suggest /rdm for buffs. I'm lazy and went /blm and it almost cost me a few fights
By Acacia 2014-12-04 09:36:29
Treasure Hunter absolutely helps. First day trying we went as SMN+BLU and got only 1 abjuration (body). The next day we did about the same number of runs as SMN+THF and got 5 abjurations (head x2, hands, feet x2).
As for Flaming Crush damage... 10-26k using Nirvana... derp.
Also if anyone on Odin needs hexed gear made, send me a tell. I'll craft for free if you have the materials. I have Alchemy 110+12 :)
By Zoltar 2014-12-04 09:47:56
The highest I did was 19k with crappy Tumafyrig, I can't wait for Nirvana.

How close are you to finishing your Nirvana?
Hi folks,
I'm wanting to organize an upcoming Seductive Radiance event here in the very near future for a shot at the Foreboding Abjuration: Hands (aka Auspex/Spurrina Gages). To be clear, these aren't the only Hand Abjuration that drops in this BC, so perhaps people might be interested in acquiring some for their DD jobs as well.
Here's the progression list in order as needed to obtain the completed Gages:
Or
Here is a bit of info on the BC and what drops:
Seductive Radiance
I have a few people interested already but I wanted to do a server-wide 'shout' so to speak and see if anyone else might want to participate. There is no date set yet but once enough people respond I'll post again when the event will be. I'll also contact everyone in-game and talk with you about the details.
Note: This BC requires that you have access to Provenance, so be sure and check out the following page for details on how to get access.
Voidwatch Quests
Thanks!
