This is what I did personally. Took about 2 days of casual playing, averaging 100 killshots an hour with WHM mule hasting me.

Trial 1045: Undead - Catastrophe x200
Abyssea - Grauberg Flux #07, Sensenmann.

Trial 1046: Aquans - Catastrophe killing blow x200
Abyssea - Misareaux Flux #00/05, Gasher/Slasher.

Trial 1854: Lizards - Catastrophe killing blow x300
Abyssea - Misareaux Flux #07, Atrociraptor.

Trial 1855: Birds - Catastrophe killing blow x300
Abyssea - Misareaux Flux #00/04, Frigatebird/Coastal Colibri/Gore Bat.

Trial 2265: Beasts - Catastrophe killing blow x400
Abyssea - La Theine Flux #02, Angler Tiger/Plateau Hare.

Trial 1045: Undead - Catastrophe x200
Abyssea - Tahrongi vs Qutrubs
  • Brought a WHM friend, took maybe 45 minutes.



Trial 1046: Aquans - Catastrophe killing blow x200
Vunkerl Islet vs Crabs/Pugils
  • Went solo. Boring as crap, but really easy.



Trial 1854: Lizards - Catastrophe killing blow x300
Attohwa Chasm vs Sand Lizards
  • Another annoying spot, but MisCo was overrun with a Whisker party.



Trial 1855: Birds - Catastrophe killing blow x300
Bibiki Bay vs Tragopan
  • Another night of Cruor party farming, so I had to run to The Bay. No interruptions, but there's really only 8 pops. This one actually took me 2 days.



Trial 2265: Beasts - Catastrophe killing blow x400
Abyssea - MisCo vs Limestone Hare
  • No competition, and they don't level any higher than DC.


Abyssea - Uleguerand vs Sierra Tiger
  • Started here, but there were 2 other groups doing trials on Tigers, and Indrik hates me. >.> Kill the guy once, and he takes a bee line for me every time I walk into the area.



When I did my Amano trials, I had a few friends available. So they would pull a bunch of mobs, and drop them down to 30-40% health and I would then kill them from there. Blew through the first 3 trials the first night pretty easy. They apparently remembered how much fun that was, and were all out of town when I finished Apoc. lol So I was solo until the Dynamis trials.

There are plenty of options for all the trials but here is what I did for mine:

Trial 1045: Undead - Catastrophe x200
Eldime Necropolis S and Present has a ***ton of Skeles that are fairly easy to kill.

Trial 1046: Aquans - Catastrophe killing blow x200
Didn't have any problems in Kuftal Tunnel off of Robber Crabs, another great spot is Vunkrel Islet S with the Crabs/Pugils.

Trial 1854: Lizards - Catastrophe killing blow x300
I went to Cape Terrigan went fairly fast since could do Sand Lizards and Raptors there

Trial 1855: Birds - Catastrophe killing blow x300
Old School level 54 Bird camp, was there for like 5 hours always pops and went fairly fast.

Trial 2265: Beasts - Catastrophe killing blow x400
Ule Range at the beginning of the zone there are Rabbits/Tigers and Buffalo all easy to kill.

Another way to make the trials to go faster is after you are done with your first trial find a person who is willing to help you who has an Apoc, makes trials twice as fast.

Hope this helps you :)

Mobs outside of Abyssea have less HP/DEF, and almost always have no competition. If you can find a mob that re-spawns fast enough there's very little downtime and you can get kill shots easier.

Take Lizards for example. Lizards in MisCo were being Whiskered and were DC mobs that I had to melee down to 30% to kill shot. But EP Lizards in Attohwa Chasm could be killed with Catastrophe at 45%.

yeah but you have atma in abyssea and mobs respawn like every 5 mins yar? competition shouldn't be a problem..even with lizards as you said, you could go to abyskonscht for them.

I'd say it depends on what your goal is. If you want to break the mob down faster so you can WS, then going Crit/CritDMG/TA would likely be the best route. For that you would want Razed Ruin (Crit hit Rate & Crit hit DMG), Sanguine Scythe (Crit hit DMG), and Apoc (Triple Attack+15%).

If you're O.K. with your DPS, then you could pick Atmas that would increase your Catastrophe damage. More WS damage means you have to DPS less and you run into less mobs with 1% HP after WS. For example Griffon Claw gives a some extra attack (GS/Scythe Skill+10) and a WS damage bonus. Try them out and see how they work for you.

I definitely averaged more mobs outside abyssea then inside for my recent Yoichi trials. Abyssea was pretty new when i did Apoc trials but it can't be much different. The outside mobs die extremely fast and there is very little comp.

It really depends on the mob type.

Its funny seeing people did these trials in 5hrs or a day when it used to take weeks...lol

No kidding! I remember just doing a basic Magian Scythe back when Relics required 1500 kill shots. Met up with a WAR in Fort Karugo doing Bravura trials, so I'd soften them up with Guillotine, and he'd kill shot.

Now there are 1400 kills/ws total before you reach the Dynamis stage. If you're diligent, you can muscle through that in 1 day. I think my Amano trials took 4 days, and that was because I couldn't get pops for Velosareon to drop requiring 2 trips to BCD.

Having just done them, if you're solo (without a pocket whm mule) you're much better off doing these outside Abyssea, other than the first trial.
Where I did mine:
Qutrubs in Aby-Tahrongi
Robber crabs in Kuftal
Lizards in Kuftal
Flamingos in sky
Rabbits by the OP in Bibiki.

Another good choice for undead inside abby is hounds in attowha since they actually have a weakness to slashing weapons
