If you do the research and tell me whats needed I'm sure we can schedule something soon so you can get these.

In order to enter the battlefield you will need to bring a Moon Orb, which is obtained by trading 60 Beastmen's Seals to Shami at H-8 in Port Jeuno. When you are ready, trade the Moon Orb to the Burning Circle inside Qu'Bia Arena and choose to enter the battle Brothers D'Aurphe.

Up to 6 people may enter and you will all receive a level 60 restriction. You have 30 minutes to win. You will fight 4 Shadow NMs:

Disfaurit B D'Aurphe (Thief)
Jeumouque B D'Aurphe (Ranger)
Maldaramet B D'Aurphe (Black Mage)
Vaicoliaux B D'Aurphe (Warrior)
Strategies
Recommended party setup is 2 BLMs, 2 RNGs, RDM, and a tank. Ninja and Paladin are probably best. It is VERY important to keep the mobs clustered close together for sleep. Elemental seal/Sleepga II at the start and just keep these things slept! BLMs should focus only on sleeping. Having a Ninja tank is good because then your Red Mage hopefully won't run out of MP.

Silence and kill the BLM first because the -ga spells he casts will annihilate your party. Then kill the Ranger, followed by Thief, and then Warrior. Once you get the BLM out of the way, it's way easier and once the ranger is dead, its cake. (especially with two blms) We tried a bard instead of a second blm and it was a disaster!

Above all else, DO NOT FIGHT THIS BCNM ON DARKSDAY!!!! If you do not heed this advice, you will fail miserably. The problem with Darkdsay is they just get too strong and they start resisting Sleep (funny enough sleep is dark element though). A player went as BLM and my Elemental seal + Sleepga II stuck for all of 20 seconds after which the RDM and BRD couldn't sleep and neither could I. So The three died, followed by the rest of our party and they had to homepoint. >.<

OH yeah i remember this one this first time i helped you with it the first time i casted sleep it didnt take and i got killed in like record breaking time.

I'll help. I have a RDM.

its a tough fight but any help from you guys would be great. i talked to a few other people and they said they would help as well hoping they see this board soon so we can confirm it. I am getting the seals up i need to do turn in for orb now so i figure in a week we can try this i will be gone this weekend.

I will help too, just let me know when.

Looking to do it next week some time maybe next weekend might be better i am still 28 seals short from getting the orb. I am gone this weekend but will be on today to try to farm some more or get a pt and try to win some. tofu will you set the date for this on either Fri night(Aug 7) sat during the day (Aug or for sun (Aug 9) thanks.

As far as I know I can do Any sunday excepts the 16th and the 23rd.

why don't you just Farm the NM for rare/ex version

Unless you are going for the money. idk just a suggestion

the nm spawns takes 16 to 32 hours to lottery spawn off Specter (Thief) plus i don't have maps for the area lol

oh

You know a 16-32 hour nm doesn't mean it will take that amount of time to camp, if you can find out the time of death, you will know when the window opens. You will spend less time trying to get it as a 10% drop from that nm then you will trying to get it as a 4% drop from a bcnm, unless you are extremely lucky.

either way i would really like to have this weapon should last me till i get up to doing the quest for destoryers.
