I'm finally breaking down to do a Trial (work has prevented me from working on them thus far) and I've decided to work on a Surya's Staff. I did the research and came up with a path with suggested areas to do each trial, what I'd like is alternate suggestions on areas/prey for each trial, if anyone has had better experience with any. Also, would this path/listing still be viable at Lv90?

As I understand it, kills during a weather effect give 5 points, correct?

Here's what I got so far:
790: 50 Treants/Saplings, any weather -> Crawlers' Nest (S), Witch Hazel

791: 50 Spiders, Fire/Wind/Thunder/Light Weather -> Boyahda Tree, Bark Spiders

828: 50 monsters, Light Day/Weather -> Grauberg (S), Chigoes

829: 50 Arcana, Light Day/Weather -> Ro'Maeve

834: 150 Beasts, 50+ Light Dmg finishing blow -> Bibiki Bay, Goblin's Rarab

838: 10 Bottled Pixies -> Meriphitaud (S), Yagudo High Priest @ I-8

1700: Same as 838.

1701: 150 Elementals, Light Day/Weather -> West Sarutabaruta (S), Yagudo Elementals

2191: Same as 1701.




Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Oh, I have 90WHM, 85SCH, 85RDM that can equip the Trial Staff. Hoping none of these trials are too hard solo xD

I'm currently on 2191 myself...

790: Bumped this off in grauberg_s, south side of the map. Weather is incredibly common
828: Nyzul Isle, perma light weather
1701/2191: Pixie mobs in Abyssea: La'theine count and die quickly.

For 790 I usually go to Grauberg (s)
791: Kuftal or Boyahda depending on the weather report.
828: Nyzul Isle Assault run (since it's always light there, it'll be cake).
834: I did tigers in Jugner (s) (dual box with monk and whm). Meh... pet bunnies in Bibiki work too.

For 791, you could also kill Aht Urhgan Attercops in Bhaflau Thickets or Wajaom Woodlands.

For 834, Uleguerand Range is a good place to go. There are a ton of tigers and bunnies that are really weak.

Wow, lots of fast replies with good suggestions, Thanks!

I'm thinking I could do a lot of these solo as SCH. Would that be feasible?

For 828, I put the Chigoes because sometimes its a pain to get people for Nyzul, no matter the purpose of the run. But, as luck would have it, I have a static that runs every week, so I guess I should get up to that point in the Trial Path and do it that way! One run aughta do it :)

Better to do Spiders in Boyhada tree, weather is more frequent there than Thickets/Woodlands IMO
