Solo Binding Coils of Bahamut

So how high of a level and ilevel do I need to solo the turns with a RDM? I would like to get this raid done so I can see the story content in it, mew :3

Don't know about Red Mage, but you'd have to have some pretty good healing to endure a lot of what it had I know some classes that could solo some of the first set of turns no longer can thanks to the loss of certain skills (Sustain). And on youtube I'm only seeing Coil Turn 1 to Turn 5 with solo attempts, so I don't think anyone has managed to get any others done besides the first five.

You're better off starting a PF group for it instead of waiting to do it solo, for some reason.

doesn't the dreadknight mechanic screw this up?

That's my problem is that no one wants to do it so I don't really have a choice but to solo it. I've tried using PF/DF, asking on this forum and other places and no one wants to do it. Anyway, any idea what level and ilevel I should have at the very least?

Unfortunately we're on very different datacentres, so I won't be able to help you. But yeah, try doing a cross-realm PF, say it's unsynced, and that there's also bonus available, should soon fill up.

I tried already. No one wants to do it. So what level and iLevel should I strive for?

Its impossible to solo 2nd and final coil, as mechanics in said turns require more than 1 person.

How long are you giving it to fill up? Are you playing in the prime time for the server? As Valkyrie said, it's impossible to solo most of the turns due to mechanics. Indeed, with one of the coils, you need 8 people to be able to reach the boss because of mechanics.

I'm having the same problem, I would also like to complete Coil to see the story on those raids, but no one wants to do old content anymore.

I't's really hard to get a party going for coil, same thing with the big party raids like LoA, I've been trying to get in a party for the ghost ship for a week now with no luck, it takes too long to get all the players, it's funny cuz in most of the que attempts tanks and healers fill kinda fast but there's always 2 or 3 DPS missing which ends on a tank/healer leaving the que cuz of the amount of time it takes to fill, so it becomes an endless loop of never getting all the players needed. :(

I do hope they let us solo those too or make some incentive to run them since it seems no one wants to do em anymore.

Around 90 minutes to two hours. I am not for sure when prime time is but I usually either wait after 9pm or around 9am in the morning. I work all day so if prime time is in between there i'm SoL lel.

Oh, I see. Well I guess i wasted my money on this game then. That's too bad because I really like this game and its story and characters. Time to find a different game and cancel my sub then.
