Caught in a Circle

[Zellata]

I wanted to do some speedruns to get tomes to get the DL Armor (which is apparently a necessity for AK and HM bosses).

You can easily do CM, Prae, AK, and HM Ifrit with just AF (lvl 45) set and lvl 47 white HQ jewelry. Same goes for HM Garuda, unless you are a tank - they would need at least a few pieces of DL. Do not attempt HM Titan without at least Ifrit weapon and almost full DL (1-2 pieces missing at most) unless you have a group that is willing to carry you hard.
