Walkthrough

• Anyone can help with this fight. A Mark of Seed is required for each party member seeking mission completion, but is not required for those helping.
  • Only those with a Mark of Seed will be rewarded with an Ivory Key upon completion.
• Click the burning circle once for a Cutscene, then again to enter a battlefield.
  • The battlefield is capped at 75, and you do not lose experience if you fail.
  • Buffs are removed upon entering
  • Tractor does not work in this Arena
• You will be fighting four enemies:
  • Seed Orc (WAR)
  • Seed Yagudo (WHM)
  • Seed Quadav (RDM)
  • Seed Goblin (THF).

A full party of level 75s is strongly recommended in order to beat this fight (see testimonials).

• If you fail the fight, another Mark of Seed will need to be obtained.

The Battle

See the individual mob pages for information about their abilities and behaviour.

• Seed Orc (WAR) uses a special ability called Phantasmal Dance, causes AoE damage, Knockback, and Bind.
• Seed Yagudo (WHM) uses a special ability called Feather Maelstrom, which causes Amnesia and Bio.
• Seed Quadav (RDM) uses a special ability called Thunderous Yowl, which gives AoE Curse and Plague.
• Seed Goblin (THF) uses Thief skills and randomly teleports behind a player, forcing all players attacking him to put away their weapons and manually re-target. Spells already being cast on him will still land, however.
  • Uses Sneak Attack, Bomb Toss, and Goblin Rush.
  • Players that start running when they see the Goblin disappear can avoid SA Goblin Rush with a "PLAYER is too far away." message. Standing with your back to the wall will also prevent SA.
  • Also has an ability called Saucepan which removes any existing food effect and replaces it with its own, giving -10 to all attributes. (lasts for about 30 min)
  • Saucepan will also give you a food effect even if you currently do not have a food effect. This food effect can be removed by Colibri or similar, or Parike-Poranke.

• Mobs have low damage and defense (hitting DD in TP gear for ~100, ~50 with Cocoon); damage reduction will help greatly.
• These mobs are all immune to black magic Sleep (even with the use of Elemental Seal)
  • Light-based sleep works but may resist and has short duration.
  • All mobs are susceptible to Gravity, though the Goblin has THF's Resist Gravity trait.
  • Bind is frequently resisted (immune?)
