Talk:Garden of Antiquity

Our party set up = Nin/War, War/Nin, Whm/Blm, Brd/Whm, Blu/Nin & Mnk/War

My advice since this is a non BC battle is to get any help from people or friends in the zone (not that its needed) but merely just to make the fight quicker and save your party's time to move onto the more important missions inside the Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi.

If you can't find any help "not to worry", any normal or even oddball party set up can easily blow through these NM's. The most important factor to killing them without deaths is sleepga, if they are all awake while fighting it can get ugly quick. No super sleep is necessary, even the Whm NM which bene'd only took about a min to kill and that was the longest kill. The other ones (even the Pld NM) died in less then a minute. Bard lullaby did not work as long as sleepga so if anyone can even sub Blm just elemental seal±sleepga and you will be fine.

Also just to note on West tower we fought on ramp just fine, just kill sharks in area to build TP for fight and you will eliminate any chances of links or aggro. If your planning on killing those NM's the sharks in the area are nothing to worry about, highest con is VT.

Last note of warning! I would highly advise NOT USING Auroral Updraft's that are near the west and east towers. These 2 Auroral Updraft's are crawling with sharks and UFO's and especially the East Auroral Updraft has 3 sharks that swim literally under the Auroral Updraft making it nearly impossible to use without aggro. Just walk the long way back and save yourself a headache.
