Notes/Strategy

  • The goal of the BCNM is to collect as many memories as possible.
  • Monsters give a certain number of "memories", which you collect in order to win prizes at the end:
  • Insatiable Gorger is true sound agro and has high regain, using a TP move every ~10-20 seconds.
  • Insatiable Offspring give a random buff (~30-60 second Ascetic's Tonic, Stalwart's Drink, or Champion's Drink) or instacast Firaga 3 on themselves and other nearby monsters (large radius) when defeated.
    • This Firaga III is sufficient to kill Disconsolate Weepers, which causes them to give extra points. (or something)
  • Everything in the BCNM (except the Recollector) respawns. The Insatiable Gorger respawns much more slowly (~3 minutes) than the Disconsolate Weepers though.
  • Best strategy is killing Disconsolate Weepers with AoE damage (like Whirl of Rage or -ga III/-ja spells) and bringing one person to handle the Insatiable Gorger.
    • Have them fight the Insatiable Gorger in the middle of all the Disconsolate Weepers, taking him to 25% and then just killing his spawns as they pop. They'll give decent points, and occasionally give you a big boost when they decide to -aga III.
  • The target memory amount is around 10,000. All players are rewarded with one Ageless Imprint, and the orb user has a chance at additionally receiving an Ageless Reminiscence.
    • Imprints and reminiscences can be redeemed for a random prize from the list above at Shami.
