Looking to buy Apademak Horn 3/75
500k a peice is cheap. 750+ for the difficulty / price of pop set.
The NM isn't that bad to kill. The most important factor is stuns.. If you end up with shitty stunners (PS2 users or generally slow players who blame everything on lag or not seeing it in chat log) you will die. You can have one person hasted and have them stun every spell it does, other than that the only threat is lithic breath if it gets off but can be side stepped. Also the pull is important as well, it opens with a cast and runs fast so don't let one person pop it alone to bring to the ramp, or you can fight at the ???.

After that you can value the cost of the merc, so in my opinion 500k each (profit of 2mil for 60-75 minutes of work) is kind of ridiculously high. I'd probably do this at 400k per, maybe a flat charge of 1mil if the other person provided the popsets and took on the variance.
Edit: I think it's more cost effective to use KI holders than bring stunners into the profit loop. Asura.Vyre said: Leviathan.Draylo said: The NM isn't that bad to kill.

Mainly stems from my experience with them. They always screw up and blame it on lag or ps2 limitations, what have you.

He doesn't even need to pay anyone, save that gil for buying sisy fragments before you head out. You really can do it with three people (four if the main DD isn't geared well). Two DD(one being a thief, although apa has high drop rate on double drop) on apa, one hasted stunner and a white mage. Also, you could advertise the +2 items and phurba in a shout and gather a bunch of people and get them all KI from the first NM (back tank this nm and its np, proc red etc) and then brew them. You can fit like 7 apa into one brew with sanguine blade and the right atma. Leviathan.Draylo said: The NM isn't that bad to kill. The most important factor is stuns..

When we did this trial for a friend, it never even used this move. Probably because we fought it on its side so that it couldn't use the move... But yes, it's easy fight with component stunners.

Just build some pearl and you'll usually get a chest off the NM to lock on, saves a couple seconds of fiddling with menus. But yes it works fine and if you can get someone with a mule or two to hold pops you should be able to brew more than 3 with Aeolian Edge.

Strat would just be pop it and stun brew with whatever WS is best and use ToM item to lock timer, rinse repeat? You would be expending a lot of cruor by not fitting in the max, you should pick up some shout stragglers and aim for 6~7 pops. THF can get access to Sanguine blade I believe, you should use that. It can 3 shot him pretty easily, just stun upon pop and go to town. Offline
