DMG:+1
Objectives
- Mordant Rime 200 times on: Amorphs
Suggested Locations
- Gneiss Leech in Abyssea - Konschtat (Conflux #6)
- Asida in Escha - Ru'Aun proved to be a great, but also risky and dangerous, target for this trial. (View comment below
)
- go as BRD and set /NIN or /DNC as your subjob. Equip your Carnwenhan along with a DMG:1 Dagger (ex:
Trainee Knife) in your offhand. With Ayanmo Armor Set, 
Madrigals, and 
Accuracy Food, I had no issues hitting this target even with non ilvl weapons. - Summon a tank trust of your choice, along with Koru-Moru (for Distract and general support) and fill the rest of the party slots with Healer trusts.
- Because of how little physical damage you do (both due to your weapons, and due to it being a Flan), your Trust tank will easily hold hate the entire fight. When it enters "spiky head" mode, you'll be hitting it for single digit damage. This NM also isn't particularly scary, with 4 healer/support trusts and a tank trust, my tank trust never came close to defeat.
- Needless to say, you won't be killing this NM in the 15 minute window, but you will get the opportunity to weaponskill plenty of times on it. With the right cadence you could perform up to 80 Mordant Rime's in a single 15 minute fight. Using this method it took me 3 pops to complete this trial, and it was pretty mindless.
- This is not the best method, I used August as my tank, Koru-Moru, Joachim, Apururu (UC), Ferreous Coffin and failed. August holds hate, but dies almost halfway into the fight. Even then, according to the previous claims, you should have about 40 WS halfway in, I fall just short of 20. 2 fights, 2 wipes, I totaled 38 WS total. You are better off finding amorphs in the Abyssea zones and going nuts.
- This is actually viable. 2022 Geared BRD can do it this way without a problem. Summon Tank Trust and couple healers and just spam Mordant Rime on it. Accuracy is not a problem. Using only Canrwehan you will be doing 50-60 WS per fight and you should kill NM with a couple minutes left. (Josafath, Cerberus)
- You will get encumbered, so lock the fulltime gearset you want to be in. Hard to reapply Honor March if your Marsyas is locked out for 40+ seconds, and you dont want to get caught in your WS/casting set while you're trying to get TP as quick as possible. AAEV, Monberaux, Koru, Ulmia, Apururu, no one was ever in any danger. Originally did Carn/Chocobo Wand. Even though acc wasnt an issue I opted to offhand Ternion+1 for the lower delay. Can do about 22-25 WS's per 5 minutes. This is much faster than Bloodsuckers or Abyssea Amorphs. 10/10 would recommend. It does cast silencega, so it is preferable to have Monberaux to remove it so you dont have to expend precious TP using healing waltz. (Nynja.Carb)

- I found the Gneiss Leech in Abyssea - Konschtat to be pretty terrible and slow. I swapped to Vermes Carnium in Abyssea - Tahrongi and it went a lot faster.
