Not sure if this has been asked, but is it even possible to get clears with how fast they repop?
Note that I haven't done them in a while, and it's just from what I am hearing?
How many people do you need for a clear, a friend of mine is wanting to do them - but is worried about clears. She wants to do Xar but has zero clears.

you get pop items for the megaboss from random NMs, and you can sneak and invis past everything to the ???s to pop megabosses

Thanks, I'll pass it on and look into it. I wasn't aware snk/invis worked in there. That would make helping a ton easier. They're aggro magnets lol
No procs on the Windurst run either. It'll be sort of lame if it's a random ability from any member of your alliance... that would promote solo/super low-man play to a depressing level, imo. Drops weren't as bad when we just went all out in the last 10 minutes, got 3 of our 4 shells in a few monsters (wasted a bit of time wandering looking for NMs after giving up on trying to proc). One member suggested it seemed like they dropped from monsters we skillchained on. I wasn't paying attention to that at all, so I have no idea.
I'm going to try soloing tomorrow and throwing abilities around to see what results I can possibly come up with.

Since I started over i've done Bastok Sandy and Windy now for clears, so far Windy's been the hardest as it casts Death.
Bastok is easy - Kill NM behind AH -> Pop NM kill it. Duo'd THF90/nin RDM90/blm
Sandy - kill the SMN NM at entrance, pop NM ..spawns with 2 orc NMs, can sleep them and kill the boss. Trio'd with RDM BLU RNG.
Windy - So far hardest one, NM above AH drops pop item, casts doom which can be cursna'd/holy water'd away. Has an avatar and lots of links around it. NM pops with 2 yag NMs also, both can be slept however one's a pld. NM casts death and curses(not doom).
Anyone notice Dynamis-Xarc NMs having a higher drop rate on their Relic armor? We killed 3 NMs got Armlets and Melee crown off THF+MNK NM, no drop on rdm but that's all we could pop at the time. Havnt done dynamis in a long time but seeing any relic off NMs was really rare last time I went...like 5months ago? :<

This one we actually got by accident tonight - killed NM on AH (wiped a few minutes afterward because we linked every freaking Yagudo up there and could not kill them before they all killed us), found the ??? that went with its Bijou (southeast of the auction house, across the small bridge where zone would be), popped it and wondered why it wasn't the usual single NM. D:
Was not too bad with DRK stunning and BLU head butt... Stuns really helped with Death and damaging AoE TP move. DRK noticed he got the zone clear KI as soon as the statue dropped. Killed the two yagudo first while the statue tried to hit the THF/ran around trying to figure out who it hated.
Found 4 TE's in Xarc there marked with red dots(ish) on the map.
20+AF maybe 15 coins proc'ed red a bunch but even then didn't get a coin most of the time. Killed constantly for full time never had a random NM pop.
There's a TE inside of the Boreal Hound cave in case you were unaware
Thz for info^^
NP, took the liberty upon myself to remark your map with the TEs to the best of my knowledge, this still leaves 1 unaccounted for though.
Resized the dots so it doesnt get confused with the red outpost dot on the natural map, and that they can be seen more easily.
inb4 my paint/dot/arrow/text/shoop skills are those that will pierce the heavens
BG mentions proccing while the monster does a TP move? Was the NIN/DNC earlier in the thread happening to use steps/flourishes/etc. while the monster was using a TP move when resulting a successful proc?

thats all 5.... next time u kill the 1 at I-6 look at log its 20 mins.... + its the only proto "eye" not statue... :P
Currency rate didn't seem too incredibly horrible.
We went in Xarc today with 12 people, getting all the TE's.
Just camped in 1 spot, repeatedly hitting up 2 lottery NM's that spawned fairly close together.
Almost every other NQ was getting staggered with a WS/JA/MA of some sort.
Also got in 2 DL fights this run, came out with 57 misc. single currencies and several AF.
Not bad for having no perfected farming strategy as of yet, I'd say.
