Best Way To Get Bale Hands +1?

Just been looking through the different NMs which you can beat to get hand seals for it.

Minaruja - Grauberg wyvern
Sharabha - Alepta Manticore
Veri Selen - Uleguarand wyvern

If anyone has tried these, which NM is easiest to get pop items for and kill?

Just dont really fancy getting a group together for one of these and have it totally not work out, so any information on these would be cool, thanks! :)

I did the manticore. The repeatables suck (ie. Snoll).
Duo on rdm with a THF that wanted BLM seals. DRK seems pretty high drop rate compared to the other seals it drops.

Getting the coins of wieldance is another obstacle.

I hear the manticore is easy but I haven't tried. Mina is a damn joke, just bring a WHM or a tiny grellow group.

To pop Mina, just kill the wyverns around his "???" until you get the pop item and spawn him. Easy easy easy.

Since I hate wyverns with all their para/dispel/breath ***, Sharabha is probably the best bet. Veri's fangrush spam is annoying, and Mina's breath can drop you if you're not paying attention. The manticores in the NW part of Altepa here usually go untouched, same for Svell drakes. The Faunus wyverns are almost constantly killed due to easy Dom Ops/Quest tied to their KI.

Since Sharabha also drops hands for nin, blm, pup that enlists a would be tank and procs for !!! The hide also goes towards Amarok's pop set if you're working up to getting an Atheling Mantle.

Thanks for the info ppl! Im thinking of trying out the manticore :D

Do it. Manticore for the win..I got my 8 seals in like 5 NMs was very nice.

yay, i already got the head, sexy new hands here i come!

my ls was getting several drops for the mantel...while doing this we got... i think...16-18 seals in about 2hours if you can proc it they fall pretty easily.

They're actually pretty easy if you can't get a group or don't have time for one and can do something quick. The turnout for a seal isn't bad, either. It's also a nice bonus if you have extra jobs other than DRK that can get something out of it. I completed BLU Hands this way, SMN's more than halfway done and I'm halfway done on DRK as is.

Oh, the snoll quest drops BLU as well? Guess I'm gonna burn some traverser stones then.

Sharabha - Alepta Manticore was easy, Tanked it WAR/NIN had 5 people with me though but mostly for procs. Only time I died was because he did a STONEJA, then some insane deadly hold for almost 2k damage.. usually his TP moves don't hurt that bad. Just keep shadows up really.
