Talk to Sylvie (I-5, W. Adoulin).
Talk to Nhili Uvolep (I-7, E. Adoulin).
Examine the grave at M-9 in Cirdas Caverns for a CS.
Examine again to pop Ancestral Rage (earth/dark elemental, extremely high dt).
Defeat it and examine the grave again.
Return to Sylvie for a CS, your Geomancy Pants, and the title "Storied Geomancer".
The damage on the final NM for the AF questline has a huge amount of defense, even if you use Formless Strikes or Mura. The best way to do damage to it was actually nukes. Had a PUP come out and they had a Aero V hit for 2.5k.
Did a very quick test of the Fast Cast on the Geomancy Pants, and they appear to have more FC then Orvail. I took into account the haste on the pants by wearing Orvail pants+goliard saio.
Pet burned the pants ele with only 1 death. 4 smns, 2 bsts. SMNs were using Garuda with Wind Blade and spamming whispering wind for healing so that the smns and bsts couldn't get cure aggro. Smooth fight. good luck!
Finished the Club/Handbell/Gloves/Pants shortly after the update, the final boss in Cirdas is rather frisky but we got it down eventually, its just sad that due to the usual combination of greed and sheer stupidity well be waiting weeks to craft the remaining pieces because the weavers are buying akaso grass for 10k each, using two (20k for you shivians) and then selling 1 thread for 5 million, so quick recap 10k +10k = 5million, yea, no thanks, I can wait, gl people, don't feed these idiots.
