Treasure and Tribulations/Strategies

Working Job Combinations
This section is not meant to discourage people from trying different combinations, but to illustrate combinations that have been tried and tested. Please feel free to try this BCNM with any combination you think might work, and above all, have fun!

Russian Roulette
This strategy can be done by anyone, any job, any level, provided you can get to Balga's Dais alive.

Strategy:
 * When you enter the fight, there are three boxes, they are non-aggressive.
 * Choose one, engage it; If it is the correct one, you win, no fight.
 * If it is the incorrect one, the other boxes disappear, and this one turns into a Mimic. I do not believe anyone has successfully soloed one at level 50 or below, so if this happens it means certain death.
 * Bring a scroll of intsant warp, to cheat certain death.
 * If you an angle your camera to look inside the boxes, one of them is a different shade of pink than the others... it is rumoured it is that one which contains the treasure.

Strategy Pros:
 * Soloable by anyone with 50 Beastmen's Seals that can get to Balga's Dais alive.
 * 33% chance of winning without a fight.

Strategy Cons:
 * 66% chance you die.

Summoner Alt:
 * Go as a Summoner and send in avatar/spirit to check on the chest. If it turns into a mimic just head back to the exit. Removes the chance of death, unless you stay around.

Ninja Alt:
 * Go as Ninja and Mijin Gakure if you pick the wrong chest. It's better than wasting a warp scroll and you can go at any level, so long as you are able to reach the Burning Circle arena.

Red Mage Alt:
 * Enter as Red Mage/Black Mage, cast Aquaveil/Stoneskin/Blink etc. and activate Chainspell before selecting chest. Cast Warp on yourself if you select the wrong chest.

Traditional method
I am trying to form a stratagy without using the "Aaah! A Mimic!! Run away!" methodology

Tank and Nukers (untested)
 * 0/3 on Russian Roulette as this is written. A shot of Thunder II while attempting Russian Roulette dealt about 5% damage to the Mimic. It should be possible to beat it with a good Paladin, a White Mage and 4 Black Mages. The Paladin engages the chosen box. If it is the correct one, congratulations and enjoy your winnings. If not, the mimic spawns, and hurts the Paladin, lots. The Paladin keeps hate as he usually would, relying more heavily on Cures, with the White Mage curing as nescessary. The black mages get to have lots of fun spamming their strongest nukes as fast as they can. A Red Mage with Chainspell could be very handy, but would likely take the hate from the Paladin. There are no other mobs, so -ga spells are fine. Deal with the AoE poison either with some very rapid Poisona casting, or by taking a poison potion before engaging. The only problem this leaves is Draw In and the AoE Stun attack. Neither of these is a major problem (unless the Paladin is near death), as Stun wears off before it becomes an issue. It is presumed that defeating the mimic will result in an Armory crate, similar to any other BCNM.
