    New Records of Eminence damage range objectives. How to finish?

    I can't remember the ranges for all of these, but I did most of them fairly easy as level 62 BLM rabbit in Monstrosity. A little time in Ghelsba Outpost and Valkurm Dunes was sufficient. I haven't had as much luck with the highest tier, the 1110 - 1120 objective. In about 4 hours I managed to get one objective done.

    My rabbit can't really put out that much damage unless I use ancient magic, and I can't seem to hit the sweet spot with that. I've tried on my regular BLM (skeletons near gate #3 in Garlaige Citadel) but I keep getting close but no cigar. I'm using Baqil Staff and some lower tier (1-3) single target nukes.

    I tried on some melee jobs. I got 1 target Fell Cleaving frogs in Abyssea - La Theine. But my WAR is poorly geared and not particularly durable so I got killed after about 15 minutes. I tried Chi Blasting as MNK, but Chi Blast damage is all over the place. I tried going as MNK and pounding pots in Abyssea - Grauberg. I get a lot of 1000+ damage per fist on criticals, which are frequent, but it's always around 1050-1100. I can't seem to get it down to that 1010-1020 range.

    Has anyone had any luck with this one? BLM damage seems the most consistent, but I don't know enough about how the damage from nukes is calculated to zero in on that narrow 10 point range. I'm thinking my next attempt is to level up my rabbit some more and maybe try some different instincts.

    Just keep swinging, leave it active on the back burner, eventually it will go. I found that these just came to me rather than trying to get them done.

    I managed to get only 3 of the 10 done while on other tasks. However, once I had finished all the others I went back to try this one again. By switching to Warrior and not gearing up particularly well (I had no item level gear on) I was able to Fell Cleave frogs in Abyssea - La Theine near conflux 6 and get the other 7 done in less than an hour.

    Pretty easy to do with magic dmg just adjust your stats till you get into the right range and then do 10 real quick

    Yeah I blasted through the lower tier ones super fast with my BLM rabbit in Monstrosity, but I just couldn't hit the sweet spot as an actual BLM for some reason.

    Maybe not enough int/mab gear to swap to get to the right amount. I'd just take off all the mab and go from there with int and magic dmg to make it easier

    Just mess with gear until you get the right stuff... I was randomly on whm and took of Tamaxchi and was able to get the 10dmg one from mandies in Ceizak with fire1... lol
    The hardest for me was the 1100 one...
    That I had to switch to the most strange stuff on BLM... There were a lot of empty slots too.
