lol why would you get rid of a T2 when you can have a locked T1 and not worry about it?
You got to keep in mind the VNM don't always give enhanced pearl kills it depends on zone. So all that time you wasted trying to cap pearl off VNM you could have been killing getting TEs. I never run out of time soloing in any zone. You have to know what mobs give enhanced lights not just well this works in on area doesn't mean it works in all.
I'm still waiting for Chloris to not take 92 1/2 NMs to pop.
Dark Knight ~ 90: Yes I actually use a Scythe.
for all guys wondering why i trash vnm, most of the time the T2 in la theine is in the same area as most T1, don't want to be bothered by it.
btw : they only gave 10 pearl, still more than classic mob (5 pearl), but maybe there's better to do indeed. wish someone would update the abyssea lights page on wikipedia '-'
Capping Pearl off T1s is still the right way to go, since you not only get guaranteed pearl light off it, you also get an Ebon light for each kill.
And you can tell when you're tracking the VNM which one it's tracking by the message. "resonates feebly" is T1, "resonates softly" is T2, and "resonates solidly" is T3, and the tracker will always prioritise a lower tier if one is available.
So basically you had the right idea but still screwed up the process.
i know how vnm works, but when i have the T2 abyssite, it takes priority over the T1 around, since they are in the same area, i have to dispose of the T2 to see all the T1.
(and i don't mean that the message comes from the colorful instead of the clear, but i always see the "softly" if i can see it around me even if i'm closer to some T1 - ok that's kind of a guess but all my tests are going this way -)

Well then kill the T2 and move on. The T2 in Visions zones are cakewalks.
If you kill it, it will stay gone for a good half hour or so, you'll have a shot at the Siren Shadow atma NM (always gonna be people wanting it), and some +2 upgrades.
I could only see one issue with the kill 50 or w/e times idea with NMs. Some times you need mages, although that could be fixed by adding some type of extra item that lets them buy a helm or w/e the trophy from the NM is and then trade it with the weapon to the box, this could easily be done by having a line saying if no trial target number down key item currency goes up or something while trial number x is active. Might not be the easiest to code but it'd be the smartest deployment, but you know omg its easy mode because it encourages team work and does not inspire people to pick up ethnic slurs to curse people out in three to five languages.
I have the final form of Aegis, it has 40 Def Augments Shield bash V and Magic Damage Taken -45%... The ultimate form!
already killed it a bunch while farming serpentes stuff on the T2, already have the atma of the T3 and even his coins are trashed now xD
(and btw, repop is 10-15 minutes, i was assuming it was gonna take me longer than 10 minutes to get another T2 after disposing of one, it didn't xD)
