Sortie Basement Solo Collection

Can I get some short summaries of what goes on in those solo videos? Nothing too long but just e.g. 'WAR is geared with X and Y and just activates Z and spams N', etc.

Super interested in knowing what goes on in these but just don't know japanese to tell what actions they're using. I could make out a little bit of what's going on from the comments on this thread, but yeah would really appreciate it thanks!

What are you hoping to accomplish? ACE and chests?

I'm a noob and have never done it, just wondering what the capabilities are for a WAR with trusts and it definitely needs Monb and/or Ygnas to do.

The WAR doesn't show his equipment in the video so it's hard to tell what he wears but he's using empy great axe and ukkon's fury for the most part of the fight, judging by the insane damage he pushes he's probably wearing BiS Ukko's fury equipment from the WAR guide. He's probably also ML 30-50.
He uses his great axe break WSs for def reduction, summoned qualtada for buffs before he entered dhartok boss arena and straves at max distance around dhartok in a attempt to stack miasma clouds on the side to avoid losing much time repositioning. Despite the fast clear time I didn't catch him using mighty strikes vs dhartok but I might have missed it.

No specific goal at the moment, was just purely curious about the strats used in the videos. I find it very cool to know that a WAR can zerg through it in 5m against what I thought was a heavily magic-oriented boss, and how the other jobs fare, etc.

I won't try to shadow them since I mostly play RDM and probably won't gear up those jobs, though since you asked; at the moment I get around 7-8k muffins doing A, top-floor NMs and objectives and basement 2 blitzers but I do plan on attempting E once. Haven't tried C at all yet but maybe I should.

Oh that's very cool! Ty!

SCH can solo ABCD E easier than a WAR can do E IMO.

RDM too probably.

I recommend to attempt E dhartok eventually, not just because of more points but because his star stone drop rate seems to be quite a bit higher than just farming basement chests. If you don't do it star stones eventually become the bottleneck of your empy armor upgrades.
I don't know how usefull RDM empy gear is for a dhartok solo but for BLU I'd say once you've upgraded empy armor to +2 it's time to switch focus on dhartok with magic approach.

Most jobs that can beat the top floor can beat E
The rest of the basement not so much

The most important thing for E is an effective means of poisona and the protective item from the mini boss which is a challenge to do solo without the right trust setup for both

Mini boss is damage from behind for the chest

Also remember no water on a & e
No reverb, distortion, darkness

Ty I'll look into it!

I found out it's technically possible to solo Aita (H) on SCH too. Granted it's like a 10-15 minute fight with helix and not worth adding to a solo run outside of bragging rights. But It's possible.
I gave it a couple of attempts and took it to 43% before I messed up and healed him then died to the 3rd Vivisection. The idea is to spam his weak element nukes enough to drop his wings and if you do it you will survive Vivisection (That's how I survived the first 2 prior). While doing that a helix is ticking him down. Not a difficult fight, just tedious. Not really worth doing.


I also hear a JP Samurai is working on soloing Gartell. So far he has soloed ABCD EG and is working on F. Granted not all in the same run, but you get the point. If you're curious and wanna dig into his work his Twitter/X account is @Higeburo_ff11

He also provides valuable info and testing to certain things that are often missed within the ffxi playerbase.

Wow have I really never noticed the wings?
I only really payed attention to the element and the Blu proc animation
Such a heavy chatlog fight

I used to do ACE on Sam a long time agooo with my pocket whm which practically took me the whole run lol, haven't really tried again since I started 4 boxing. I think i might give it a try on War just for funsies with trusts. What's a good nuking trust for magic kill, I never use them.
