what do these check to a 75? i wanna figure out what lvl they are


VT~

They con Tough to a 75. The Chigoes that they spawn are Decent Challenge to 75, though a NIN can one-shot chigoes with a Blade Jin or Ku. Suggest saving TP for chigoes and quickly switching target and WS so as not to lose too many shadows.--Maharet 22:34, 7 December 2006 (EST)

Duod with easy as melee RDM/NIN and melee WHM/NIN. WHM took out chigoes. Had no problems whatsoever. Raos 04:34, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Tusk

Tusk are 100% Drop rate depending on if u can break the tusk. Which means you are limited to two tusks per drop and need a really heavy hit or a critical to knock it off.

Solo

Confirmed solo by 65 MNK/NIN took about an hour. Fun if your bored and lfp.

Attempted solo by 75SAM/DNC, no kite, steps didnt kill off chigoes,(like i planned) although i would'nt have won if they did.

Barrier Tusk

After fighting marids for 2 nights now (a few hours each night), I can pretty well say that Barrier Tusk increases both physical AND magical defense. After using Barrier Tusk enfeebling spells and Nukes are highly resisted for the duration of the Barrier Tusk.
