Low Level Method for Farming Adamantortoise/Adamantoise

Prerequisite

Crystarium: 3 Primary roles for Vanille/Fang/Lightning must be at Level 5. Fang should learn SYN (Protectra/Haste/Bravera/Faithra) and some RAV skills. Lightning must have some basic SYN skills (you can switch Lightning with Hope as well but somehow I prefer Lightning over Hope). At this time of writing, Fang have only 2500 STR and Lightning with 2000 MAG as well as Vanille 1700 MAG with the gears below.

Setup

Vanille: Malboro Wand*, Weirding Glyph*, Weirding Glyph*,Gaian Rings*,Connoisseur Catalog

Fang: Venus Gospel*, Gaian Rings*, Power Glove*,Power Glove*,Collector Catalog

Lightning: Enkindler*, Growth Egg, Weirding Glyph*, Weirding Glyph*, Gaian Rings*

*you can use lower tier gear for MAG/STR like Warrior Wristband or Sorcerer Mark if you cannot afford to upgrade to

Weirding Glyph*/Power Glove* yet. Objective is to pump up as much STR/MAG as possible for the battle.

Summary method for upgrading gear(not weapon): Throw in 36 Sturdy Bones to boost the multipler to max and throw in the necessary number of Superconductors and Ultracompact Reactors. You should be able to see the number of EXP needed and number of EXP each Superconductors/Ultracompact Reactors will provide. Use it nicely. Keyword: Sturdy bones to boost up multipler, Superconductors/Ultracompact Reactors to provide EXP.

Paradigms

Paradigms:

SAB/SYN/MED - Default: Vanille to spam imperilga+death while Fang will spam Haste+Protectra+Bravera+Faithra and Lightning will keep the group alive

MED/SYN/MED - Make sure vanille have Curaja and always spam that for healing the group

RAV/RAV/RAV - Quick Stagger the legs

RAV/COM/RAV - kill the legs in the shortest time so that Adamantortoise/Adamantoise will kneel down before you

SAB/SAB/SYN - Vanille to spam Death while Fang spam the debuff on it and Lightning to restore the buffs on the group

*make good use of the Repeat function to spam fast

Explanation

The above method is useful for the groups without tier 3 weapon like me. Just start with the default paradigm and once the group fully buff (while debuff you can spam Death on leg), switch to RAV/RAV/RAV to quick stagger one of the legs. You might want to switch to MED/SYN/MED to heal for 1 round before going to RAV/RAV/RAV. In 1-2 round of auto mode, you should switch to RAV/COM/RAV already because the leg should be staggered already. Another 1-2 round of RAV/COM/RAV will kill the leg already then revert back to MED/SYN/MED for heal and go back SAB/SYN/MED for buff and debuff as well as spam death while waiting for buff from Fang. Repeat until the other leg is down as well then go for SAB/SAB/SAB/SYN. Spam 1 round of Imperil on the turtle and then keep spamming Death. Fang should be busy casting all possible debuff on it by now and Lightning should be putting back the buff on the groups in case it start to stand up again. Death shall hit in between 2-3 round of spamming in this state. Enjoy~

Advantage: Able to stay alive to spam Death effectively and shorter time compared to hitting using Fang at this level of gear and crystarium. No summon and TP gushing involved!

Disadvantage: No chance to spam Highwind. Spamming Death still requires some kind of luck. There is a chance of dying if are out of the rhythm. Try get hold of the rhythm of when to switch paradigm effectively.

Hopefully after a few round of these will drop some Trapezohedron for you to upgrade to Tier 3 weapons for Fang and switch to focus on Highwind method.

Happy brawling folks! =)
