Spiritbond tips and tricks

[Fadigre]

Hello world ~

Me and my chumlies are having a little trouble with the ol' spiritbond lately.
I suppose we're rookies as our first and only attempt to spiritbond effectively was with a group of playful wolves in Natalan. All was good until a party with more manpower showed up and pushed us out due to there only being 5 of us at the time.

I also found out yesterday that the Gambler's crown is DoH only! I was so disappointed
I've been trying to stack spiritbond + gear to make my the experience fly by without a thought.

Are there Are there any tips and tricks out there to spiritbond effectively?

So far we've thought of using the level 50 imperials and the room before the boss in Zahar'ak as there's an incredible amount of level 52s back there.

The amout of mobs works against us however as we are trying to spiritbond our relic weapons which requires one person outside of the party to claim whilst those inside of the party kill; Zahar'ak is just an flurry of lances and staves, we can't organise that!

Our lovely little Bard seems to have taken up residence at Twinleaf as well, to take advantage of the constant Spriggan spawn as the Spriggans stay at range and have minimal hit points for a level 50.

I've become quite fond of the Diremites past the Bard AF quest NPC for solo Paladin-ing.

We've also been having a player outside of the party (the spiritbonder) run out, agro the mobs and then use an ability to claim, then have the party decimate whatever turns purple for them - or in the case of BLM, a player runs out, agros mobs and they sleepga what's pulled back for a claim.

Find another 7 people, go inside Cutter's Cry, hold princess, let the guard heals and keep killing the minions. Finish 7-8sets in one hour.

Works level 50 mobs, too? If yes, try the imperials around iron lake, broken water and dragon head

That's a pretty sweet idea!
It's a shame you can only spiritbond relic outside of a party but when it comes to standard spiritbond I bet that's fantastic!

Oui oui mon amie, we were goofing off at Dragonhead late last night but we were down to only three of us at that point. That mob gathering was taking forever as they seem to be spread quite thin yet they'll chase you for malms and malms!

Oh u were talking about relic lol my apologies

AF room in the U'Ghamaro Mines is a good one, works very well with Pld SB with a Blm helper, have the Pld agro the 3 standalone kobolds by sight/attack then flash the second closest to you kobold in the line of kobolds.

(maybe the first cant remember so test it first as you may not want to agro the level 55 Ashman at the end of the line).

Gather them together by moving back towards the blast door and have your Blm friend fully buff a Firaga, Fire then finish with Blizzara.

All mobs should die, recover MP/HP etc and wait for repop, can get 8-9 chain if I remember correctly and sped my Pld SB up dramatically.

Will most likely work for any class if a War is doing the pulling.

To be honest I've been daydreaming about using this for our Black mages provided they're not in the party.
Can you drop party in dungeons? I know you can for Darkhold as I disconnected in there last time we visited.

<edit> Scratch that, cures will claim the ants. This would be fantastic for WHM however.

Thanks for your very first post Terru!
That's interesting information, I'll take a look once I've finished my late classes tonight ~

WHM partner in the AF room (where the pot helm coffer is) in U'Ghamro mines. I did half my jobs there and takes about 6 hours with a whm nuking down your pulls or solo if you are whm. Can get up to 8 chain's easily.

We were doing this about 2 months ago but it seems everyone is there sb'ing now so might have a hard time getting a uninterrupted 6 hour slot.
