Royal Jelly (BCNM)/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!

Red Mage or Black Mage or White Mage + DD + DD
One Mage with stoneskin and a yag drink with 2 other DD (no job specific requirments. Thief TH is always welcome however) (Have found that if one DD has a white sub this helps in case Mage is out of cure range from Bind)

Strategy:
 * 2 DD start on one side and WS together on jellies #1,2,3
 * Mage stays near edge, but in healing distance to DD's
 * Mage cast Bind, and also, if RDM, Gravity (one each) on Jellys 4,5,6 and rotates so that eventually all jellys (4,5,6) are enfeebled and are kept from reaching the center.
 * When one jelly is left Party does whatever it needs to kill to finish BCNM.
 * Convert may be necessary. StoneSkin is a must for this.
 * Also, if using WHM or BLM, please be sure that enfeebling is capped when lvl 40.

Strategy Pros:
 * As noted below, DRG excell at this BCNM. Pole arms and any other piercing weapons do extra damage to the Slimes.

Strategy Cons:
 * MNK, while a wonderful DD most of the time, doesn't fair to well against Slimes which have extra resistance to blunt damage. While it is possible for MNK to participate in this BCNM, you may likely be cutting the time limit rather close. If the MNK has Vampiric Claws which deal slashing rather than blunt damage, they will perform acceptably.


 * BLU, on another hand, while not terrible at causing damage in this BCNM, is very hard to keep going untill the end because of a particularly limited MP pool.

Making this Strategy Better:
 * A team of DRG, SAM, and RDM work really well on this BCNM. Best way is for the DRG and SAM to kill the jellys together one at a time from left to right, while the RDM casts Bind and Gravity on the jellys from right to left and to heal the other members when needed.
