Talk:Bloodrake

From FFXI Wiki

Location:

- Best place to farm this by fighting Wurdalaks in Bostaunieux Oubliette at J-7, K-7.

- As you enter the large chamber, you should see several undead wolves (Dabilla) and at least one Wurdalak. The tunnel at the far end is occupied by two Blind Bats and the room at the far end is filled with them. The Dabilla and Blind Bats share spawns with the Wurdalak, aside from the one on the bridge. That guy always spawns as himself. Probably just to let you know you're in the right place. ;)

Trusts:

- Use a tank trust and fill the rest of the party with support only trusts. This way you don't have to worry about Doom from Eternal Damnation. You can bring holy water, but if you fight at the Vampyr's back it shouldn't be an issue. Valaineral and Rughadjeen will intimidate these guys. I preferred using Amchuchu. (She's my favorite little tanky-wanky.) Really, though, any tank trust will do. Yoran-Oran (UC) and Joachim both attempt to use Cursna, but it may or may not save your tank. The good news is that once you position yourself and your trusts, only the tank should have to worry about Doom. These guys are not hard once you have that down. I have very meh gear and I could take these guys after 3-4 TP moves using a Dream Bell (1 DMG club) and a Roundsey Wand. (Clang, chirp, clang, chirp....)

Bad News:

Whereas these guys are not hard, they can be rather frustrating. Bloodrake was used rarely and my learn rate was very low. I ended up spending hours here just grinding out the target mob and clearing the wolves and bats to encourage more spawns. Of course, as with all things BLU, your mileage may vary and you could learn on the first go. Best of luck, and have fun! --KayjayAsura (talk) 14:29, 27 May 2021 (EDT)
