Talk:Coming of Age

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

  • The pull one tactic didn't work for me and my group. Both of them are underwater, making them out of range for any ability. The only way to get them above was to aggro them both.
  • just finished this killing only 1. might have aggroed, but didn't have to aggro pull both at once. --vm0d 23:20, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
  • it actually took 9 bat fangs each for myself and my friend to get the rank points for this mission.
  • Don't kill the first one until the other one despawns, otherwise you will have to wait an undetermined amount of time before spawning them to 'retry'.(Also meaning you don't get the key item.)
  • That I did not talk to Halver, after finishing the fight, but returning to talk to a gate guard before logging, then Japanese midnight came, and I received the cutscene in Northern Sandy without any issues. --Docstu 22:39, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Don't know if its worth updating, but I traded 5 stacks of ice crystals, and 1 stack of dark crystals and had less than half of my bar filled, but was still able to flag the mission. --Teknos 16:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Testimonials

  • Solo'd as NIN75/DNC37 with some eva. Just popped the two krakens with sneak on, and pulled Valor. Piece of cake, it never hits me, just build TP and use Desperate Flourish to gravity when it uses Hundred Fists. Kite a little and finish it.

  • Extremely easy kill with 75RDM/WHM and 75THF/NIN, had to kill both because we killed too fast and easy. Undoubtedly soloable by the THF.
  • Solo'd 75PLD/DNC Valor = too weak. Kill beatles at zone entrance for 300TP. Took 3 pro-ethers just to be safe and never used them. Flash and Reprisal when up. Had a Scorpion Harness on for a little eva but he didn't miss me much. No matter. Box Step and Desperate Flourish to slow him down. Invincible at Hundred Fists but probably didn't need to, a quick flash and Sentinel would have been fine. Never went below half MP or HP. Keep Healing Waltz on his VIT and STR down and take your time. Really easy fight. Have fun.^^
  • Solo'd Honor on February 11, 2009 by 75 DNC/NIN. I would not recommend a DNC to solo Honor, Silencega and Paralyga was a bitch, Hundred Fists would probably be easier to take as a DNC. I got luck and was able to get Para off fairly quickly. I WAS able to pull just one using the sneak/agro trick so it still works. I would defiantly recommend building TP first.
  • Soloable by a 75 BLM/RDM, I wasnt able to pull just one using Sneak I think its been updated to prevent this however you can pull by Casting Gravity onto Valor and run to the near by zone Honor will stop to cast on you. Wait at the zone if possible and cast Bio II on Valor and then zone to get rid of Honor. Zone back in and Valor will be slowly moving back to spawn area, Blizzard IV, Bind, Gravity, Bio II, on Valor and Zone as needed. Using Bind i was able to rest for two tics before it wore off.
  • Easily Duoed by 75 RDM/BLM and a 75 NIN/DNC. Rdm kites Honor around & away from Nin while Nin easily takes down Valor, was hardly hit in full evasion gear. After nin is done, bring back Honor and kill it. Silence only stuck once (even failed 2nd try with Elemental Seal), but Paralyze II and Slow II stuck easily. Nin only used 8 Shihei, 2 Sairui-Ran and 2 Kaginawa tools total between the 2 of them.
  • Soloable by a skilled RDM/NIN. Pop them with sneak on, pull Valor away from Honor and kill it while Honor despawns.
  • Duoed by 75PLD/WAR and 75BLM/WHM; PLD didn't need to use 2hr, just Chivalry. BLM keep DoTs up and paralyze then nuke under 50% HP
  • Soloable by 75 WHM/NIN. Bring mp drinks and defense food. During his Hundred Fists kite till your hp is low and use Benediction.
  • Duoable in less than a minute by a PUP75 and a BLU75 starting at 300TP on both players and the Automaton using the Skillchain Howling Fist >> Vorpal Blade >> Armor Piercer (with 3 Fire Maneuvers and a Flame Holder)
  • A BST75 can solo Honor with two CourierCarrie jugs; come /WHM for Paralyna and bring Echo Drops.
  • Both were easily trioed by two 75 BLMs and one 75 RDM by simply nuking and kiting.
  • A RDM75 and NIN75 are able to duo Honor without much trouble.
  • Also a WHM75 and a WAR75 can easily duo Honor.
  • Duoed by a 75RDM/NIN and 75WHM/BLM
  • Easily duoed by a 75WAR/NIN and 75PUP/DNC
  • Easily soloed by a 75THF/NIN (with high evasion) using NPC (lv68) for buffs and occasionnal cure.
  • Valor is soloable by a non merited 75PLD/DNC using a Tavnazian Taco. Only had to kill the one to finish. Bibiki seashell was a godsent, it intimidated every 5-6 hits.
  • 75SAM/37DNC can solo Valor using Seigan + Third Eye and basic eva+ gear. Use Desperate Flourish and kite up the tunnel During Hundred Fists. 2 hr not needed, but it is fun to use.
  • Soloable as 75 DRG/RDM. Wyvern already called and ready to call again. Got 300 TP from worms as mentioned above. Self buff with Protect II, Shell II, Stoneskin, and Blink. Rest MP to full. Cast Sneak and spawn the mantas. Used Tavnazian Taco. Cast Enthunder and Phalanx. Used a Yagudo Drink. Single pulled Valor using methods mentioned above. Fought Valor almost in the center of the room. Use weaponskill, gather TP, use weaponskill again. By the second weaponskill Valor will most likely use Hundred Fists. Immediately unlock from Valor and Super Jump. When you land from Super Jump, run up the tunnel and stop just before zone. Your wyvern will die, but having ran that far up the tunnel will have given you enough time to wait out Hundred Fists duration. Immediately Call Wyvern and continue fighting until Valor is dead. Did not need to use Spirit Surge. Finished the fight with approximately 50MP to spare (from triggering Healing Breath repeatedly). Be mindful that Valor may stop pursuing you if you get a large enough lead on it running up the tunnel. Re-Engage when you are reasonably sure Hundred Fists has ended. Valor will quickly regenerate HP if left unclaimed or without agro.
  • Honor is easily soloable by a 72SMN/WHM by alternating Carby and Garuda kiting.
  • Valor is an easy solo by 75BLU/NIN. Actinic burst and bind when it uses Hundred Fists... and make sure you let Honor depop before it dies -_- --Blazza 14:57, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Honor is solo'able by 75BLU/NIN as well (accidently pulled wrong one) just make sure you have echo drops and of course his 'ga will take out shadows instantly Ragrush 21:17, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
  • As has been noted already, this mission is easily soloable by a RDM/NIN using Chainspell Utsusemi when Valor uses Hundred Fists. Just make sure to have a fresh Stoneskin up a little over 50% HP so you don't get popped hard when he firsts uses it. He does have pretty decent accuracy (for a RDM's evasion, anyways), but I'm not sure if it's so high that a THF/NIN couldn't solo this as well, using Perfect Dodge to counter Hundred Fists. If you have an NPC fellow they can be used on this mission, having an emergency Cure V at your disposal is very helpful. Also, I editted out the comment about not being able to complete the mission by killing only one. Just did this on 1/12/08 and it still works fine, just don't kill Valor before Honor despawns. --Onyxium 05:36, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • As of this post I literally did this fight less than 3 min ago with a 75MNK/NIN and 75BLM/WHM. BLM pulled with sneak up (still works)and Asuran Fist knocked off 25% of Valors life. I had to back tank until he did HF after only a couple shots while waiting for Honor to despawn. All in all much easier than expected. 8/07/08
  • I solo'd this as a 73Rdm/whm by sneak poping staying to the right depoping sneak since they dont link bio II gravity bind valor. and blizzard III when nessarcary zone but poisonII right b4 Very easy solo
  • Popped Invincible on my last group to do this mission. We were fighting both at once because somebody couldn't follow instruction. --1.quos.vita.habitum.captivus 11:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Incredibly easy Valor solo on Pld/Rdm. Used a Tavnazian Taco and Level 70 NPC cause I wasn't sure what to expect based on previous reports. Just keep Phalanx up and Flash > Stoneskin and the fight is a breeze. When it uses Hundred Fists, just use Sentinel. No need to use Invincible at all. Never went below 1k HP and ended with ~280 MP. --Tomiko 1 May, 2009
  • Very very easy for 75 RNG, THF, and DNC trio. DNC build TP on surrounding mobs, THF tanking. We fought Valor, allowing Honor to despawn. Hundred Fists was a joke, THF barely even got hit with it at all. We almost killed it too fast, had to turn our backs to it and wait for Honor to despawn so as to not have to deal with the second one. Took about 5 minutes, with the time spent waiting...
  • Very close fight as 75DRG/37SAM, but can solo Honor.
  • Extremely easy solo by a BLM/RDM using the sneak pop method. Wait roughly 2 mins before you pull Valor because you will kill him in less than a minute. This fight is a joke.
  • Easy Duo by WHM/BLM and DRG/WAR using sneak pop method on Honor. WHM stayed out of AoE range of silencega. Had to disengage and wait for Valor to despawn.
