I tried Abyssea yesterday to get the final levels of my Guarding but was unsuccessful.
Even getting ALL mandies of Attohwa on me didn't produce a single guarding skillup in like, what, 30 mins?
Consider I'm at 390 base skill though.
I found it much more proficient to go outside of Adoulin, get all the mandies close to the gates of West Adoulin (wish there were more!), position yourself right in full otronif with some autoregen and /DNC sub and use Healing Waltz every now and then.
With just that I managed to get to 400 in like what, 1 hour? Less than that.
Ionis's increased skillup rate probably did a lot in that, as well as the monster's higher level.
I suggest to go there once your skill is beyond a certain level.
In Abyssea I was using Atma of Vicissitude, Atma of Mounted Champion (is this the name?) and Atma of the Sea Daughter, which is perfect because regain helps with Curing Waltz (hardly had to use any in abyssea...) and slows down the rate at which you attack, making mobs last longer.
To further increase that I was also mainhanding Relic Knuckles, base dynamis relic weapon with 999 delay and +1 damage.
But, as I said before, doubt abyssea is gonna be worth it past a certain level of skill (370ish? maybe less?)
