This video contains my own editing and commentary and is for educational purposes.
For your PL add Foe:Farthest - Steal on the Slimes. That negates the "pushed into the corner of the room and nothing respawns" issue, and it means you get to run over and you get some decent gil for when you return too.
Good addition!
Also since I pinned this comment. Meant to say Bowline Sash x.x doing too many things at once = too many screw ups
You can just use Foe:Farthest - Attack (if you dont have Steal on your PL).
He will be running everywhere too, and with your "empty hands" equipment you wont be killing them.
Pablo Asensio Unless you happen to have brawler. Then you might.
Equipping a shield negates the damage from Brawler...
I remember I did a guide for Negalmuur Idle LevelUp 1o+ years ago. I would add a couple of important things. First one, add steal, you can get crossbows and sellt hem for 1650 Gil each. And second, once you feel comfortable cast haste on the boss, he will attack fawster but also summon more often ;)
There’s a way you can bypass the corner as well, you can get rid of all of the weapons, and set a character to attack furthest it will do 0 damage but the character will walk around the entire screen attacking the furthest enemy from them so they always pass through the middle.
Man, You're a Genius Thanks
@@roldymovie you’re welcome!!!!
For those of you using the second method who just don't like the somewhat inconsistent charge skill and are going to level up more than just three characters, I recommend equipping your Time Battlemage with a Turtleshell Choker, which lets you cast magic by expending gil rather than MP. Then, equip any party members not currently getting any EXP with Cat-ear Hoods, which turns LP into gil.
Break normally costs 14 MP, which comes out to 896 gil per cast. You'll be fully reimbursed per cast/kill as long as the sum of all the characters' levels who you have equipped with Cat-ear Hoods is at least 180. The "Channeling" augment licenses will help reduce this price quite a bit: Time Battlemage has two such licenses that are easily accessible, and having both will cut down the MP cost of break to 11 MP, or 704 gil, which can be covered by characters wearing Cat-ear Hoods whose combined levels equal at least 141.
Since the Time Battlemage will have to be on the field for the entirety of the grinding, normal-rate EXP due to the lack of an equipped Embroidered Tippet should be perfectly fine to get them to max level. Hope that this helps in some way.
For Slimes I remote my PS Vita when I'm at work. I finally found a use for it 😂.
Ive found that the MOST efficient late game NON afk farm is the undeads in the great crystal just before Mark XII, theres about thirty to forty per room sometimes and just moving between zones or warping between platforms generally respawns them. They give over 2k xp a kill and you can oneshot them with an Excalibur or Holy lance. You can go from 90 to 99 with 3 characters in less then an hour without tippets easy
Since I just started replaying....
If your doing the flan farm have your tank use steal on the furthest enemy away.
This ensures that they always try to work their way near the middle of the room when the numbers thin up.
God I STILL have my original FFXII guide sitting on my bookshelf. In pristine condition. only guide i still own.
I had one. I miss it. It was one of the best prima guides ever made, full of info
I have that one too, it's really a work of art how well designed it is, and how many useful charts it had for young me to play through ffxii. I remember playing the game with my best friend and we set up a negalmuur farm overnight, good times.
Another tip for the negalmuur fight is to use sword users or anyone close range as party lead as they will 9/10 walk into a loot bag which refreshes mp for your healer
Thanks for this man. I'll spent a few hours grinding in the mines early on but I'm gonna do this instead. Given you a sub!
Idk if anyone has said this but an easy alternative to enlisting a "tank" is have mirror mail and have your time battle mage also a red battle mage for raise if not have a healer with raise as a gambit. mirror mail can be found as a uncommon drop from mirrorknights in the fey wood walk of stolen truth and walk of dancing shadow, a 25 chain is at least one if not more.
I should add for new people the fey wood is extremely deadly to unprepared individuals not only is the map static to the point of being unreliable, the recommended farm lvl for players is 35 but is doable at 20 with good tactics, good directional bearings and pull methods. know your limit and run if you must.
The Jelly grinding can be made better by killing a few rooms manually before setting up the AFK, that way instead of getting the occasional item or two, you can get items almost every time, as well as HP/MP restorations as well as shell to keep poison off your characters. You also don't need to charge MP as often/ at all, so you grind slightly more efficiently.
The disadvantage to slimes being restricted to a time mage being in the party can be fixed with negalmuur. with a lvl 40-50 the ghosts do 0 dmg, and equipped with a ribbon there's no threat of instant death, and out regens any dmg (allows you to kill it solo, for the last member who didn't make it into the 2 slime groups (5 people)
those loot icons look fresh
Definitely something I’m going to do when I get everything together. I played this game and started it quite a bit and never finished it. I rented it. Then bought it. I got really far at the one temple or tomb after you speak to that leader who is sleep but he woke up to talk to us in the snow mountains.
That was back on PS2. Now I have the Zodiac edition for PS4 and I’m going to get back there. I just finished the Tomb of Raithwal early this morning. Definitely going to implement these things because I played this so many times being overpowered isn’t a problem for me. Thanks a lot!
is the 2nd method in the video applicable to the original version? im using pcsx2 with the original release.
Don't get too happy the slime method doesn't work anymore
GamingNord Lol! Yeah those darn slimes killed me. Lol! I eventually got the Stetsengrad for everyone which made the whole game quite enjoyable.
THEREALGAMER Mii Thanks! I’m going to try this... I mean the game for the most part is already easy but with The Last Us Part 2 who coming out this Friday I’m just trying to finish it up ASAP
if a character doesnt have steal there is another option if the know expose shear or any of those moves use that on the farthest away and your character will run around casting that on all the mobs especially the new ones that pop up
FFXIV AFK leveling spot: Frontlines
/s
Spookipooh how
for a time battle mage setup you could just go to the guild house, pick a new class, then when you are done, switch back to your original class.
Montblanc in the hunter’s guild can change your license board if you didn’t make a character a time battlemage.
wow thank you for this i just followed it step by step and it's working, currently doing it right now :)
How so? I did the same thing and everyone dies instantly
@@GamingNordmedia I think you need to be at least a certain baseline lv for these tricks to work. I did t stumble on this till yesterday when googling best spots to farm lp and now I'm auto farming exp with this. My lowest lv char at the time was 32. Ashe, my time mage
evilanimegenious After playing around with the gambit system and leveling up to 34 I was able to finally do this. Just finished the game on Friday! For future readers know that the three characters you plan on leveling up have to have at least 3200 hp for this to work. My first run through I had 2700hp and died after a minute.
For Jellies, you should be be able to go with Embroidered Tippets if you take the weapons off your guys. At this point your characters should be hitting one another for 0s when barehanded, so Confuse isn't that big of a deal. You can always keep the Bowline Sash on the healer for safety measures, but I don't think it's necessary.
I removed poison in a gambit. Also make sure to unequip and brutal weapons your allys might have on that can inflict status or ko. Makes confuse brutal. I also put regen on leader just to be safe and bubble.
I am a bit late to the party, but still want to say this regarding the slime strategy (PC version).
Don't use gambits, that make you walk around. As in the video mentioned, the slimes push you. I did this method once and the slimes pushed me out of the room. While standing in the corner, I only had half of them respawn, but that was perfectly fine for a permanent kill.
I found this while trying to find solutions to the 13th.... the one you need 10 espers to challenge. Anywhoozle, you came up as a "solution" video, and well, I learned not to give anyone a weapon who isn't constantly casting, aka, don't leave a freaking Grand Mace on Ashe or Kumbha on Vaan, since I think characters at that point can only cast and block at that point. Either way, leveling them because 1) I am incapable of fighting the superbosses atm due to 2) because Ashe/Basche are both lower than my main team of death, meaning I just can't complete that last phase of the boss I mentioned since no one else can cast unaspected magic, aka Scourge, Flare, Shock, and can't kill the damned thing!!!!!! @.@ so thank you, hopefully I'll have my Ashe and Basch in fighting shape soon, not that Basche is much more than a leveling device atm, because he ain't going into combat, he's just Haste-pre-buffing and leveling everyone else.... but hey, at least Ashe is gonna see some usage again, I've considered Fran for the fight too, only issue is she is tsnkier than Vaan while he's Knight and she is Foebreaker, but Vaan does way more damage with Genji Gear than she can.... sadness... at least I don't have to dodge 200 bolts of lightning for the most powerful "normal" weapon in the game. As-in, not counting the invisible ones, nor the mace that does actually have a model and is just unlisted.
I assume since the point this video was made (4 years ago) and now there's been some kind of patch to this. Whilst the basic principle works and is still the same i've recently started playing through the game again and opted for the Negalmuur method only to find that there a ton of new status possibilities that can be inflicted meaning it's not as AFK as it once was. I've noticed that as well as the normal doom and confuse that Negalmuur or his cronies are inflicting disable and break which effects this set-up massively. I've yet to seen anyone make a recent remodel of this tactic based on these changes but with a more refined gambit set up it can be made good again but it's probably not worth the investment vs the jelly method.
I cant believe how effective and easy the slimes method is, running switch version at my desk while working
How so? I have everything and my party dies instantly
@@GamingNordmedia i followed this video exactly and it worked for me so I am not sure why you are having trouble. Are you really low level maybe?
AndyF1130 what level were you when you tried this method. Right now, I’m at level 30 with an average 2200 HP
@@GamingNordmedia man i cant remember, but i know i grinded the skeleton bridge for a few hours before trying to do this method.....but that was the only time I grinded before the slimes
AndyF1130 oh alright! I’ll have to go back and grind some more at the skeleton bridge did it for about 30 minutes early on. Thanks for helping out 👍
I just checked and the black belt gives you immunity to disable and immobilize, but the Bowline Sash just straight up gives you immunity from confuse, wouldn't that be better to use?
woopsie, yeah meant to say Bowline. Both begin with B x.x
I got confused when you said black belt, that's irony for you lol
Pros and pros. Lol thanx for the vid happy!
woopsie #copypasted
Mrhappy1227 it happens when you produce a lot of content. I didn't even know you could add farm in xii. now I'm looking forward to this game even more.
AFK leveling at the Henne Mines? One might say that it would...
(⌐■_■)
...break the game.
I don't get it lol
Because the spell you use to kill the slimes is called "Break"
Idk where i can find Break btw... im looking on every magic shop but nothing
It should be able to be bought at Eruyt Village, Mt Bur-Omisace, Mosphoran Highwaste, Phon Coast, and Archades (Don't have the game myself so I can't confirm, but that was their locations in IZJS)
He says equip "Black Belt" to be immune to Confuse, doesn't he mean "Bowline Sash"?
He does
Is it possible to tell characters to "hit a ally if he has not hit yet"? because I have a staff that gives life regen if you hit a character with it
Throw Mirror Mail on everyone or the Ruby Ring and take all their weapons off. Negates the Berserk status bc they do no damage and Reflect negates Poison spell. I ran that setup for an 8 hour AFK and they lost basically no health. The only heal gambit I set up was Ally:
Nice singularities. Beat the original and just wanted to see the new end game content. Thanks Happy.
For the slimes, I turned off atk for my other party members and set them to heal or steal.
Truly i like the old version. Without the job board limit
Nice vid, well explained. I'll do this for the last few levels which are a pain ( at least in the original) to achieve.
I hadn't played this in years before zodiac age. I got 3 of those invisible bows and am farming those bats in the trap room. It's just a stop gap now until ffvii remake.
i still have it on ps2 to this day, and still haven't beaten it, and only now i learned about this
There is that ghost monster in great crystal area which keeps on multiplying itself when it's dying. Maybe with the right set of gambit you can exploit that as well.
Something that I would like to add is in the Negalmuur farm i killed him after a while because i had cura on my gambits and he takes dmg from heals so it hurt him everytime keep that in mind and just use single target heals
So I think Square Enix patched this because I've done everything you said plus what other videos also said and my entire party dies instantly. All party members are at level 30 with all gambits and accessories mentioned.
need better amor
how are you replacing your MP? i keep running out. im doing the 2nd one with the slimes.
Gambit: Self MP < 10% Charge. On the Negalmuur method, it's also possible to get MP restoration from the monster drops after a large chain is built.
I read in GameFaqs that Vanish(ga) is also effective for keeping the slimes respawning. I am yet to try this out myself, but I am only leveling to 99 for Yiazmat, already killed Omega MK XII at party average of 86.
can you do this in the first release of ff xxi pcsx2?
I started trying the slimes part with the Switch version just an hour ago, max battle speed and x4 speed active. Still going strong! I had my 'tank' character set with self>decoy as his first gambit, and foe:furthest>Steal as his last. He wanders around the room stealing from the slimes since they shift around so much and then it drags my lead (the healer) so it keeps the spawns going. and now we're going to get some gil from items and possibly more teleport stones cause they've been hard to find.
on your party leader put "self:status=doom" remedy instead
I might be dumb but I can't find where to buy decoy lol
At the Rabanastre Bazaar just south of Clan Centurio. You have to be a certain clan rank to buy specific spells and items.
this is grinding spot early on game. easiest way is buy fira at fran's home then cast fira on these flans they die in no time. don't kill other enemies when spawning them again nor touch save crystal
I keep seeing a Duck debuff and laughing
Both methods equip the bazzar item to convert LP to gil. You get huuuuuuuge gil. Do it for a bit then switch back to 2 x exp cuz you rich.
Also, Keep in mind all party members will need to have a minimum of 3500HP for this to work or INSTANT DEATH
what if you accidently killed negalmuur? do you need to save and exit game and come back in or do you just wait another 30 mins to try it again?
What's the recommended level or gear for the slime method? I just got there and the slimes are just kicking my butt, so knowing that would be great.
Lvl 40 with as many mirror mails and shields as possible. If you're still losing health with a mirror mail on tho, use the next best armor you have and set someone else up with a cura gambit so you can heal that party member. I also set up gambits for "attack ally if status confused" and put a tourmaline on my time mage so they never get poisoned and never waste time under confusion. With a white mage handling the healing of the weaker members
I still play this game on my ps2 xdd
Which version???? Normal or ZJS????
I'm playing in IZJS version but I don't have a time mage, so I dont have haste. I can get the chain going for quite a long time, but every few hours or so, doom is cast on the party leader and the chain is broken. I have decoy caste on the other 2 characters. Any advice to fix the chain?
You can now change jobs so getting a temporary time battlemage is possible.
So I beat darkmare and waited 30 mins and he didn't show up
So I mistakenly have 2 Knights and now halfway through the game. I have 11 jobs assigned within the 6 characters. Will this prevent me from platinum trophy?
Either I’m doing something wrong or that farm doesn’t work anymore
On the PS4 it doesn’t work. When you go back to the Stilshrine their are way to high levelled reapers in the main room that will kill you before you can get to the room. You might say that I should level up more, that’s what I’m trying to do
If you deactivate your gambits and just run to the Waystone you can activate it before the reapers can get off an attack.
I just got the dawn shard and I'm doing some crafting and gearing up in area not meant to be at yet lol. I'm I able to come to this area yet? Or do I have to get more into the story?
NoRussianma if you're talking about the second option of farming the area is after the dawnshard main quest. If i were you just slowly make your way leveling up. I did Dustia farming at level one and now i'm level 53 and my members are also around my level.
how did you get cure/raise etc. on all 3 characters?
For does that do not have any character using time battle mage and do not be able to use Break you can equip the Ancient Sword that has a chance to petrefy the enemy, i try this my selfe and manage to kill some, sadly my characters are level 50 so i kill some of theme before the efect take action
another thing is that i DO not know if there is a accesory that increase the chance to aply the effect of the weapons
pd. this jobs system is a pain in the ass, i al ready use all my characters and i do not use any one with time battle mage or busshi or monk
The second one doesn't a rare game spawn there? How do you stop that?
I really only do this to finish the license boards. In my opinion it isn't cheating because it's still putting forth some effort and work to get what you want out of it.
3HeartLimit its cheating getting stuff without doing shit lol
Bryan Dirksen I don't particularly do this, instead I farmed skeletons but it wouldn't be cheating if it's how you set it up. The game let's you do it.
Ah, the good old Negalmuur.
DarkflameAxel never used it, waste of time..... literally.
How is it a waste of time if you're sleeping while this goes on? It worked pretty well, at least in the Vanilla version of the game.
DarkflameAxel 35 minute setup for the same experience and it's more risky than the flans. more money is the only + if you ask me. I've done both (yup I lied) on the vanilla and the izjs and I keep going back to flans.
I was wondering if this was even still in the game xD
how did you got that swoed and shield-?
So I play it on German and have to ask if break is the spell that turns mobs into stone?
Yes
the slimes are good for teleport stones
what do i do if i haven't got a time mage?
what's a good level to start doing this? i just gave it a shot at around level 40 and couldn't stay alive.
I started at level 42 and everythings fine... i think you should set up good set of armour... to keep your defense high so you wont get any damage from the foe...
Guys... Don't forget to make sure you aren't wearing Genji armour when using the Negalmuur method...
If you kill negalmuur will he spawn again right?
one thing I hate about hd ports and remakes is that the devs tend to patch known and recently found exploits. -.- wish I had the money to buy the game and exploit teh hell out of this.
Yeah it's high time I did this...I'm not through the story yet but I don't care, the combat in this game is a nightmare of status effect spam and damage immunities, I'm about ready to let this run until I'm level capped so I can just blow up the rest of the game with zero effort.
There is like. 5 zombies on screen at once
ok I don't know what I am doing wrong but I end up killing all the slimes and I set up the gambits the way you had.
and in true fashion of troubleshooting, I fix the problem I ask immediately afterwards.
ralynedin what was the problem though???
and for the mp?
Anyone know exactly where to find breake
This is great but how do you go about MP management unless I missed something here?
I see. I had charge on but it was proving too unreliable. I should have specified that but I got it sorted out. I had to add a few miscellaneous licenses regarding action time but I appreciate the clarification though, thank you.
0rnstein in izjs and zodiac age all gambits are buyable in batahns gambits in rabanastre after the barheim passage escape.
eh. I'll just go deep into the great crystal and level grind there lol
What if i change the time in my ps4, do i still have to wait 30 mins?
Idk where i can find Break btw... im looking on every magic shop but nothing
I bought mine from the moogle in Eruyt Village.
I only have 2 going
Newer versions of zodiac age include a job change system at Montblanc so meh.
Thats only on the switch
@@jecal2855 They patched it on PS4. I did it yesterday.
and it is also on steam, denuvo free woohoo!
Tell me it's not cheating to go from 90 to 99 overnight to get Yiazmat down :D
If you have a disc copy of the game, for the love of god *don't* leave this to keep on going for more than 2 hours.
Woke up this morning to see the results and had to leave the house. When I got back home the PS4 showed up an error code multiple times while trying to start the game, and when I took the disc out there were a *bunch* of very bad scratches on the edge of the disc, pretty much making it unreadable.
LaekoStormz must be your system.
Nick Matza Nah, everything else including different discs for other has worked out perfectly after discovering this today, the proof being that my FFXII disc hasn't been able to be read by my PS4's disc drive, while it could read every other game I had. But I'm just gonna stay sold to digital copies for now to prevent this from happening ever again.
Did you accidently bump system or have pets that may have. I have played games like ffxv for hours without issues. Or maybe just ffxii discs that susceptible. Sorry about your troubles either way.
LaekoStormz something is just wrong with ur system, I have played the game from 10am to 9pm and my disc is fine.
...don't judge me, IMA teenager ._.
Ivan L. C. I've already stressed and noted the fact that my system itself is perfectly fine before and after I did this. I probably just had a bad disc. Eitherway I'm sticking to digital copies now.
USe mirror mails for the slimes
Using Mirror Mails kills the slims without petrify.
NoNameJustWords no it doesnt stone works to fast and they're only reflectable attack is poison. they also split after reaching 10% health creating a clone copy so even if the poison were to kill it, it would be still viable.
Running out of mp quick
Any tips
leonGarciaification use sages ring. it'll cut my costs, and have your mage use charge when below 10% mp
Idk where i can find Break btw... im looking on every magic shop but nothing
Kalas TV you can't unlock the safe ting until a bit further into the game
leonGarciaification the technick(don't blame me se loved the hard k too much back in the day) charge
Kalas TV moogle shop eyrut village, aka Frans hometown, aka the bunny ranch, aka jerk material central, aka porn hub..... w8....
I had 2 spawn wtf?
Grinding isn't even needed, it's easier to just push through the game and then go into Strong Mode where everyone starts at level 90.
I have the correct gambit set up for this guy if anyone is confused by this rant
Showing your setup on screen would have been way more informative. Just looked at your link was terrible I don't ever know what your abbreviations mean, to follow what you have said for number 1 is only for people that think like you. Much better to just to show the setup in video. Why you didn't is weird.
Neglmur method is fucking shit man. Maybe cuz I don't have decoy.
Squishes uwu
If you could've just posted screenshots of your gambits that would be so much easier than trying to read your text document. I give up.
And here I am trying my best not to level. I want to see that guide. Lol
Step 1 equip Fireflies... there is no step 2.
NoNameJustWords finding firefly's alone is worth a guide
isn't there one in the Outpost in Dalmasca Eastersand?
yup, and another one I found today is in the Zertinan Caverns. Invitation of Hersey ( Westersand Entrance). Just need to find one more and then we got enough info for a guide lol.
There is a mode after you beat the trial mode which keeps you at level 1. It's called New Game -.
Measures plus shield equals can't be hit.
too much work
