Trying to organize a swift belt run. Contact me here or in game if you're interested and I'll try to work out a time that works for everyone. Could also farm subligars as we go through it because we will most likely need to build hate. If you just want to help that would be cool too :)

Unless you really need a panty raid, you're generally better off getting your hate in mis coast. Two strong DD's can get max hate in a single night. One at the entrance to Riverne (3-4 fomors around the fire, 2 roaming) and the other at the far SW (4 fomor's up a tower by the sea). The SW one can also run North to the campfire/hut near the Tav zone and kill two more there. The faster you can kill the mobs the faster they'll repop. It's possible to kill them all 4 times each. If you have more than two people, you can whack another one outside sacrarium, and any extras can just help out the other people to kill them faster and have them repop asap.

As for the NM's themselves, 2 BST two-hours with the high level hecteyes up the back will slaughter 2-3 NM's within the half hour if you're organised. The taru is a bit ***, but the rest are easy prey to two bst's.

Just throwing this out there, but I've done this a few times on Balor (Hume) and most times he will go after one of the pets more than the other. Need to make sure you got some pet food zeta to spam to keep them alive. I've had one of the pets die during the fight and had to bust out a CC to help.

BST will be able to take it out every 2hrs

So not a great thing to bring if your doing a run for multiple people

x2 tank, x2 healer, x2 DDs

should work fine

I kinda figured that was a given, but yes, you will need pet food zeta. It's also a really good idea to use sic when your pet has no tp, as it will cast magic instead, including AM if you're lucky. With two bsts, if one pet is getting picked on more than the other, just make it heel until the other picks up some hate, that's one of the main reasons you use 2 bsts working together.

Yes, but 2 good bsts can kill three NM's (provided they're not all the same race due to the 15 minute repop on the ???). If you're going with a full alliance, then just throw people at it and you'll be fine, but considering how hard it can be to get people for this, it makes the 2x bst option even more appealing if it's available.

Its simple, take about 10 people couple healers 2 nin a couple summoners then dd, fight the hime one you hsould loose one nin to ees then its solo tanked. works fine never lost to him that way. just keep killing fomor during breaks to rebuild fomor hate on the humes. killing a formor nm actually boost fomor hate quite alot i found out when i did my run.

Getting 10 people for swift belt is not simple.

Umm, i actually got my swift belt with this setup:

RDM / NIN / THF / PLD

It took us about 5-10 mins, and iirc we fought mithra NM.
NIN did most of the tanking and PLD only took over if shadows werent up.
Was pretty simple to be honest.
