I know there is already another thread related to this, but I wanted to avoid necrobumping an already-necrobumped post.
My question is mainly related to the number of times people have had to kill the Tier 1 NMs in order to force a color change in their clear abyssite. Is it based on number of kills? How much time spent in the zone? Or something else? This is the very first time I have ever done a magian trial (specifically Trial 8). I have read as much as I could on the color change. However, all I have managed to figure out is that I am supposed to kill Tier 1 NMs and that it should change color (fairly quickly, was my impression). I spent a good hour trying to get mine to change, but still nothing in my logs indicate anything beyond detecting yet the next Tier 1 NM.
