Any quick and efficient ways to get stones of vision? (WAR, THF, RNG, WHM, BRD head)
Most of the NMs bar fistule seem a gigantic pain to pop, and Fistule is camped to hell still.

Always did Itzpapalotl for those. He's quite easy. Worst part is the Tunga KI, but I usually always got that through cleaving.

+1, Itzpapalotl seems the best plan here because he drops 3 and is fairly easy, but you may as well gold box cleave for all the KI's.

I feel kinda bad getting my entire group to help me farm Itz pops, even though we do need the scales eventually. Ugh

gave up and spammed Fistule since i needed 24 of them at the time
Perhaps just bad luck with you. I did 7 pops just last week and 6 our of 7 dropped 3. When I do runs like that the majority of the time I always get 3.

Better off getting your group to help you with it than, say, getting a shout group for it.. a pickup fighting Tunga? Not no, but hell no.

The annoying thing about Fistule is his pop NMs are far away, so you often can't tell if someone's fighting it or on the way to fight it without running a long distance.

Could just zerg it over and over 'til you get KI, WHM's can cure for that if they have enough MP lol

The corse NM takes 4 KIs but they're all really easy NMs. If you're going the single dropper route and don't want to fight over Fistule, I suggest it.
Or give up because stone of vision = pain the ***. :3

Not sure. Regurgitation works because Itz is weak to water.

I'm not entirely sure, I've never needed to lowman, however i once stole an Itz with Charm on BST and it bound it for roughly 10 seconds lolz

Jeebus, there's no easy mobs for Wieldance. I feel bad for you, Flion. :< Idk about large amounts of them per kill. But the time spawned Ironclads in Mis and Attohwa both drop Jewels and are pretty damn easy. Same goes for Durinn in Vunk.

I got all mine (Jewel of Wieldance) off Resheph and Durinn, usually because I also needed the other items off them. The uragnite is a pain in the ***, however.

for my last +2 on PLD i needed em and i swear its a pain simply cause of Tunga -_- and bad luck on my part but Fistule is a simple NM other than it being camped as an emphy which is good cause Fisty can be duoed and most of those players are high profile players who typically dnt need them. But its about 1 per fistule only reason i got mine was cause AF3+2 items were FFA in the LS i was doing it in

Would RDM's bind work on Itzpapalotl also? Longer recast and you'll break the bind with damage whereas Regurgitation's bind overwrites itself, allowing you to keep the NM at a distance at all times. Different element doesn't matter because Regurg's bind is still technically ice based, easy to see using elemental mobs. RDM solo is still doable, just more annoying; would probably be simpler for RDM to melee solo if you're on the ball about turning during spells/JA. That or kite it around that long rock over near Tunga's area.

You can find shouts for people wanting to do this for empyrean pretty regularly in Port Jeuno. I would imagine it would be easy to just join in one of those for whatever drop you need off of him. He is a super easy kite, and can be easily THF tanked as long as he knows to turn around when he sees Fire Break going off.

Resheph is a lot less annoying than he appears at first glance. Worst part is the hate reset a few seconds after Tarsal Slam really, the move itself shouldn't be much of a threat since it ignores shadows. A quick WHM is also more than enough, and they should be able to keep themselves alive long enough for you to get hate back even with fairly NQ gear.
