Just wondering what the rough going rate on Bahamut is, since I'm half considering doing Daurdabla if I took up BRD again D:
Colorless Souls: Either buy pop (much prefer Ogopogo, far easier) or directly buying souls.
Apademak Horn: Would be buying horns directly, screw that Khim D:

Not bashing you or anything, but if you don't mind giving some advice, I wouldn't use your gil buying Apademak Horns. It was defeatable by a party of 3 (WHM, NIN, BLM/RDM) at 90. There is a small bit of luck involved as the stun timer won't always be up, so bringing a second BLM would be a wonderful safety net. If you're attempting with 1 BLM, then your WHM's haste priority should be BLM > NIN and the BLM should have at least 10% haste in his stun macro. With 2 BLMs they shouldn't need it. Make sure your NIN has a PDT or Eva set for when they get terrored. Not required, but it helps your WHM. Dhorme Khimaira is harder than Apademak due to his Chainspell/AoE spells, though; I was always more scared of him than Apademak. Anyway, I'm rambling now. Just thought I'd give you some help on the horns! As for the souls... good luck. Hope this helps!
P.S.: You can sell the +2 items to make back the gil you spent on souls! :D

Personally, I wouldn't pay for Apa Horns. Just join those cruor parties and get enough cruor for lots of brews. You can brew 3-4 Apa at a time using MAB atmas and elemental weapon skill. Just get couple of people to hold KI for you. I did that with Dragua as well.

If you can beat Dhorme Khimaira then you can beat Apademak.
Edit: Unless you're simply brewing to speed up the process anyway.

Yeah I know. But finding reliable stunners these days for Apa is just not worth it.

Personally I did this for my 'dabla^ Could easily brew 4-6 Apademak with Aeolian Edge and the appropriate atma/gear. However, there is that pesky problem - while Fulm will not kill you, it does give a long *** stun and annoying paralyze. So if you're going this route, try to bring some stunners for that first pop-magic. Makes it so much easier.

This^ If you use Cataclysm you will kill 6 Apademak, 2 at a time (assuming 2 stunners for initial magic) and have half your brew left.

Roughly how many brews does that equal to? I have ~2.5mil cruor currently and carrying a brew as it.

Hmm. well assuming that all your Apa's drop 2 horns (which is why I recommended THF/Aeolian) then that's a mininum of 38 pops, which if you assume 4 pops:1 brew ratio, is roughly rounded up to 10 brews, which is 2mil cruor.
Keep in mind this is assuming that you will ONLY need 38 pops, mininum.

Thanks for that :D

Somewhere between 19 on the high end, with zero luck on double drops, and 10, assuming you get double drops on all of them, with being able to kill at least 4 Nm's per brew. 3.8m cruor at worst, 2m at best. If u can squeeze in 5/6 nm's per brew, then obviously the numbers go down
