Note: This Mission is essentially identical for all 3 Nations. While each Nations requires you to travel to the other two, they all follow the same path.

  • San d'Orians and Windurstians who choose Bastok first will do the same things. Therefore, it IS possible to group people together from different Nations to ultimately end up on the same BCNM fight.
  • A Windurstian may choose to do the Bastok portion first, and San d'Orian portion second, while a Bastokan can do the Windurstian portion first, and the San d'Orian portion second. In this scenario, Windurstians and Bastokans can enter the same BCNM for the San d'Orian portion.
  • Players who have already completed this Mission (for any Nation) may enter any of the BC, except for the one associated with their Nation (A Windurstian who has completed 2-3 is unable to enter the Giddeus BCNM to help others, unless they have completed this battle through another Nation's 2-3 Mission).

Notes

  • Windurst Dragon was easily solo'ed on a level 25 RDM with 4 trusts, though I did sleep the dragon. The sleep landed first try. The fight can go badly if you don't land the sleep quickly.
  • Easily solo'd at 30BLM with four Trusts.
  • The BCNM has been solo'd by a Mnk/War, Pld/War, or Drg/Whm with meds and skill.
  • Can also be solo'd by a Thf/Nin with capped Marksmanship, Sleep Bolts, Bloody Bolts, and a few meds.
  • The Windurst version of the dragon seems to be a little bit easier because it does not use the Petrify AoE. Doing the Bastok leg first also seems to be faster.
