Picture showing scale not dropping. Guess they aren't 100% drop rate in the heroes areas. --Greggles252 00:26, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
Not too difficult. Terra Wing sounds bad, but Barstonra and Barpetra from a WHM works wonders, each time it was used only perhaps 1 or 2 people in a 16-person ally would need Stona. Had 16 people but could easily be killed with a single party. --User:Alkimi
Alliance Kill
It would seem the more ppl you throw at this NM the tougher he gets. Barstonra and Barpetra are a must but it also might be worth finding some earth resist atma's or some petra resist atma's to add to your mix. We had a MNK tanking with no particular MDB/MDT build and was getting hit quite hard with Shell 5, barstone/petra up, then we had an Aegis PLD with Burtgang tanking it and he was getting hit like a baby. I would recomend looking for a good earth resist atma. The NM himself drops a good earth resist atma Atma of the Earth Wyrm, The more ppl you throw at this the more Mages your going to want ot cure them. SSJ4Puar 19:52, January 21, 2011 (UTC)
KI: NM
The KI "Bloodied dragon ear" Drops from Hazhdiha, which is mixed up among the local dragon "Ergdrakes" Which seems to pop about every 15 mins. Like most KI red helps it drop. The NM is easy fight, just keep bar-spells up from bard and whm, also use Mdef atma, and hes too weak, any nin or pld or monk, can hold NM till all triggers.
KI also drops from gold chests --Izzybella 03:55, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
4 man
Killed with MNK MNK WHM BLM. Relatively easy fight, WHM kept Barstonra and Barpetra up, only got petrified once and that was from an additional effect on a melee attack - only saw that once though, so not sure what triggered it or if that's a constant effect, but I got hit plenty of times and that only procced once.
Pretty much just a slow fight with a few annoying AoEs, MDT gear helps a bit for Stonega IV/Stoneja, and I think Terra Wing is magic based too. Also camped near martello so the WHM could restore MP.
Also confirmed the trial item is not 100%, dropped 3 cards and a soil sachet. This one will be a long trial. Solarus 11:08, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
This NM is so broke. its not even funny. ive killed it 4 times all 4 with Grellow Procs and ive only got 2 cards. 2 of the runs only the Soil Sach dropped. Ive seen 1 scale and a Ingot. This is going to be a long ass +2 Hands.

Duo
Killed duo MNK/WAR and WHM/RDM. rdm sub for resist petrify as a petrified whm in duo is major problem. Make sure barpetra barstonra and shell are up at all times. That plus a decent mdt set makes this alot easier.
First fight went without a problem, 2nd we very nearly wiped at 4% so its not a complete pushover but definately doable. Brownst0ne 14:32, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
Trio
Just beat Dragua with the 3 of us (NIN90/WAR45, WHM90/BLM45 and MNK90/NIN45). During the fight the MNK changed to WHM and afterwards the WHM changed to BLM to speed things up. The battle took about 60 mins... at 5% our BLM trigged yellow!! and we got great drops ~> Card of Wieldance x3, Soil Sachet, Dragua's Scale x2.
However I wouldn't advice going with 3 lol, make it yourself easy: Bring a brd and rdm along and and another random member to tackle it easy.

Duo MNK and WHM with me took roughly 17mins (and yes my mnk gear sucks) so I don't know what Nocturne's setup of atma was, although /nin is virtually useless on this as all of its TP attacks are aoe as well as spells... so /war only. Fight is horrible using a NIN as tank, we tried with a Kannagi user and took almost double the time then with me as MNK, not to say it isn't doable. I have about 3.9k hp on mnk in heroes zones without using hp atma if that matters at all.
Aoe > -Ga IV > Horrid Roar is really fun though~
