Skirmish: how?

[Jynx]

how do you beat the elm? we did 3 war 3 blm 2 whm and timed out with 10 mins in, kept hate reset.

Just did him with.

2mnk 2whm 1pld 1brd 2blm

Hate is a bit of a issue but with 2 whm's it's pretty easy to live through the eventual smackdown he will lay on everyone. hit him with 12 min left and had 4 or so when we finished.

*edit*

Oh yeah got bow~ Personally I don't think it will be very long before these weapons are sitting on the AH at a decent price considering they are not Rare/EX at all. Although them being meldable might effect the price from going too far down.

We beat the elm 2/2 with 2 WHM, 1 WAR, 1 PLD, 1 MNK, 2 BLM and 1 BRD. WHMs just need to cure everyone awake and when hate resets, move but don't move it TOO much else his other moves will hit everyone. Both times we started the elm with about 10 minutes left, beat him in about 6 minutes.

Sword dropped both times.

I'm guessing there's some sort of gear-check involved for this. Any word on whether it costs anything (stones, totems) to do these fights? Thinking of ending my hiatus to give skirmish a try.

Costs nothing, and I rock full AF and a mog-axe while the group I ran with was pretty much the same no crazy melded gear.

There's still hope, then. Thank you for the information.

No gear-check really, it's very simple and straight forwarded content, but you do need to know mechanic of the NMs to do the fight well such as where do you moves if Chimera uses this, etc

There is no cost, just speak to NPC and enter.

It's one drop per win so far. We won two and got a weapon each time. There are no totems or nuts or tapers or anything involved. Go in, beat them, and win a weapon.

Really fun content that makes sure you know what to do, what to avoid, and how to use abilities at the right time. Stun locking is so fun on the peiste, chimera, and cyclops xD And it also seems that class/job stacking isn't the best since each type of mob has different weaknesses.

I'm just happy that there isn't a speed run involved for a drop. But maybe I'm speaking too soon since there is the gladiator gear set for war and magic classes that I don't know where to get from.

Turtleback Island has:
Buffalo, Pieste, Chimera, cyclops, and Golem. All about defense.

Don't know about the other place but that one has a priority on attack instead.

We got 2 weapons on one of them. We killed both pretty fast with 15 minutes left so maybe a speed trigger.
