No, the chance is just low.

Do NMs, is arguably just as bad though.

Yes, not needing the seals. That seemed to work for a friend of mine going for RDM seals, he got enough to complete PUP and DRK before finishing RDM.

Really though, no clue, just have to pray to the seal gods that you'll get what you need in a timely manner.

Wait you guys are qqing about bale head seals? I have seen NOTHING drop more then that damn seal off of my primary nm I farm: Blazing Eruca. I kill the eruca for iga seals but all i've seen drop in 25 kills is the following total:

15 bale head seals

12 pups (once had 3 drop on one kill)

6 blms

0 ninja

in 25 runs. Im guessing if no iga seals (ninja for the uninformed) don't drop today from the 10 pops I plan to do then I'll assume the wiki is incorrect and ninja seals do not infact drop off of the eruca and all ive done is give drks and pups and blms free hats.

FUUUUUUUUUUU imma go in saying in party chat "I need DRK I need DRK" and watch like double iga drop back to back and zero drk. Seen a quest has finaly been posted on WIKI concerning the iga seals and how to obtain them, but it requires lvl 3 reputation and some how farming gold chests for malachite. I'd perfer a 16% supposed drop rate on iga seals of blazing eruca vs farming malachite for 5 hours just for a CHANCE at a iga seal. this is rediculous, I love the look of this hat and its the same haste as walmart turban plus dex for crit hits so great tp hat, wouldn't ws in it but I want it for town and tp lol.

Idk about the weakness thing. Like I've never triggered something based on what is listed on the few nms that have that info on wiki... hell I've yet to have any NM trigger to the same thing twice lol. Like been doing the T1 orobon recently. I've had it trigger on aero 4, stone 4 and something else. And then I've had it not trigger the other lik 7 times I've fought using everything a rdm can cast on a mob other than dia 3 and most blm spells that I couldn't

blms, kite and nuke around big rock near spawn point. Don't cast when its casting, and make sure to keep a 2 min timer. If you cast when timer is up or its casting you will heal it. I don't recommend melee because of blaze spikes, when blaze spikes fall it absorbs melee dmg as heals. If done correctly and you have a dedicated stunner to stun when it casts (must stun during casting because it likes to Fire V himself for over 1k and firega 4 for 1800 dmg) its a rather easy fight. Be a noob and *** up one small detail and you can wipe. Pop item is Eruca Egg and usually is 3k on ah. Drops drk and blm seals like crazy, and lolpupjesterhat seals too.

yes, very very easily. just keep running and you should be able to pass hate between yourselves by trading off nukes. Be aware though he can hit hard and fast so you'll want movement speed+

EDIT: Addle is your friend

My shell melees it down just fine with relatively minimal support from the White Mage and Red Mage. It's just a matter of coordinating weaponskills so an awry Gekko doesn't drag out the fight longer than it needs to.

Funny enough we've gotten more drops from Whiro than the crawler despite all the "Man he is a Bale vending machine" talk... oh well.
