As some of you may or may not be aware, they have added a new item to
the Voidwatch system called Spectral Displacer. *These items can be
purchased 1-5 at a time, for 100k each, from an NPC at the Jugner
Forest OP (one purchase per conquest tally). *I decided to try them
out duo with my BST buddy so we purchased 5 each (10 total) and
experimented;
Windurst Tier 1-
Both were easy, didn't need any weakness items.

Windurst Tier 2-
Used 1 weakness item. *Fight was easy, if you space pets out around
the mob so Horn only hits one at a time. *We have tried duoing this
before the weakness items were availible and were unsuccessful, so the
item made a difference.

Windurst Tier 3-
Used 2 weakness items on the Vampyr, and it was laughibly easy. *Used
2 on the Turtle as well, with similar results. *Probably could have
been done with only 1 item each.

Windurst Tier 4-
Used 3 weakness items and the NM was a push over. *Like, literally, a
45 second fight, could have used 2 items.

Had a RDM friend join us for more weakness items (He bought 5 more,
giving us 7 total)
Sandy Tier 1-
No weakness items, killed normally.

Sandy Tier 2-
1 weakness item, super easy.

Sandy Tier 3-
1 weakness item on Fairy, 2 on Behemoth. *Super easy, coulda used 1 on
Behemoth probably.

Sandy Tier 4-
2 weakness items, was super easy.


Bastok Tier 1-
No items, as easy as the others. *Having temp items to deal with the
draw in > AoE from the worm is useful.

Bastok Tier 2-
Used up the last of our weakness items. *As easy as can be expected now.

We need to wait until tomorrow (Sunday) to get more weakness items,
but I assume T3 and T4 bastok will be just as easy (if not easier
since the Tier 4 is wind based)

At the conquest tally tomorrow, we will buy more weakness items and
finish the cities and move onto Jeuno. *Seems like these items are
basically Brews for Voidwatch. *While in a lowman setup, getting procs
is hard/impossible, if all you need are the clears than this seems
like a pretty awesome solution to finding people to do the cities and
crap.

This is great information, thank you for sharing, would you care to elaborate which pet you used on each fights or it does not matter? Also aren't the procs very important to get full lights effect for atmacite and key items? Overall great info, I wonder if you can do the same for higher tier ones.

Yes to the procs being important for people doing the climbs. I was just doing this to get my buddies the clears, as it will seem like a lot of the temp items and super good atmacites aren't even required as much anymore.
As Xilk pointed out in another Forum, I should have used /fume to reset the procs, and I will probably bring a BLM next time as well. (He suggested PUP for fast proc reads, which would also be a good addition)
I used Falcorr in every fight, but I'm pretty sure Ladybug would be fine too. TBH Im not even sure if it would make a difference if you used Rabbit or something as I wasn't even riding the Reward timers and only used Run Wild during a few fights.
I'm very curious to see if Morta or Ig-Alima can be solo/duoed with 4/5 Weakenss Items (if anyone has any tesimonials, or care to test it out, let us know)

/fume sucks for BST. It only works if the tank uses it, and your pet can't use it. So after a couple ws's have been snarled onto it, /fume isn't an option anymore since you can never pull hate again. I guess you could all use leave, but then you'd have to be over 5 minutes into the fight already.
