Can Trust characters get me through the level 95 roadblock?

[Kraggy]

Been stuck 2 years at 95 because all my friends left and I don't have the gil to pay for my two characters to be merced through this roadblock.

Can Trust characters plus Fellow make up a party that I can get past the 95 LB?

I don't know, but if anything, you can shout for help.

What I will recommend is that you go out and farm the mats for the Olde Rarab tail (http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Olde_Rarab_Tail), perhaps get several.
They removed the Rare tag, so you can carry several. They also changed the effects of it, now it terrorizes him and removes the damage cap of 100 per hit practically turning him into a punching bag for 90 seconds per tail.

Basically one kind ilevel 119 player should be able to turn that midget into mincemeat for you with just one of those tails.

They allowed you use trust npcs in the fight basically with a lot of olde rarab tails, but you have to summon them before entering. Its still a known bug however, sometimes they vanish when entering when you summoning them beforehand.

[Zarchery]

Probably. You can also buy the materials for several old rarab tails with login points (only 30 points total to build one) and use a lot of those to make the fight much easier.

Thanks folks, especially the tip about the tails, I wasn't aware of that.

Two years at 95? I call BS.

He could have taken a break during those 2 years. Not necessarily an active player at 95 for that time.

Call it how you like, makes no difference to me, it's true.

Thanks, it's true to a large extent. Thing is over the last couple of years the friends I had have drifted away and TBH I didn't have the desire to go find a new LS after playing with the same folks since '05.

I tried shouting briefly, got told I needed 5m per character and I don't have it and even if I did I'd not give in to blackmail.

At one time SE said they were looking at making this soloable like all the othe LBs, sadly they never followed through on that.

However, if I understand it right now I can get 12 tails and effectively shut him down the whole fight, kind of like those COP items you used on the Promy bosses?

[Olor]

if you were on my server I'd gladly help. I'm sure if you had been a bit more persistent you could have found help - but yeah get the tails, try shouting for 1 or two people to help should be fine.

I'm not sure you'd need 12. At the very least, you need to make sure that the skill level for whatever your main weapon is, is capped or near cap. You'll never win if you keep missing because you microwaved your job to 95 by leeching in Abyssea. Skillup tomes purchased with Sparks of Eminence will be helpful for this.

My skills aren't shabby, I never did Aby we (the LS I was in) did things the old-fashioned way, but probably need a bit of work, good point.

They did indeed make the fight soloable early in the year, when they first allowed Trust to be taken into battlefields, it was in the very first update that did so. Between Trust being able to go in, and Rarab Tails being able to stack, the fight has been soloable, since what, February or January?
