Full Perle

[Khajit]

Byakko has been soloed at 80? By whom?

Avesta did it at 80 right after the patch as a rdm. Lv 90 nin and some other jobs have killed it solo at this point now as well but it's long and boring imo and easier to just get help.
Because of this if you have any friends it can be easily killed by a DD whm and thf (if memory from what others whom have done so is correct)with any extra people coming along to help if you wish.(preferably in a support role like enfeebling or refresh/buffs to not tpfeed Byakko) Byakko was already killable with 5 at lv 75 so it's no stretch that some decently people with at least a clue at lv 90 can kill it for you. Tbh the hardest part now is getting diorite to drop since despot's aery is gone.

You're talking about getting gear that a lot of people don't have access too compaired to something that is basically free and readily available.

dusk gloves are less than 10k in ah, leveling to 80 or 85 nets enough gil from cruor/dominion notes to buy dusk+1 feet if there isnt some other cheap/easy option to wear, Nyzul isle is ridiculously easy atm and the stp from askar body beats out full perle if they have the same haste as perle when x-hit's are involved, walmart turban is not yet hard to get although you need more gil to buy the coins instead of using IS if unlucky but otherwise it's easy to get, Ace's sabatons is a 100% drop and there are enough people spamming empy from the mob(which just happens to be soloable too) that simply asking if you can have the drop is bound to work eventually, i'll admit homam legs is actually trouble to get thanks to the time restrictions on limbus and that the tonberry for aces hose isn't anything id expect a noob to get easily killed but in the end it means that perle is already beaten if a person has some/any help at all and can be beaten within a days worth of effort.
That same day's worth of effort can also obtain several +1 pieces if people you know wish to focus on putting one at a point to do away with full perle.
