Any SINGLE boss that takes more than an hour to kill is to much of an investment for any one person, let alone a group of people. I can understand if maybe you had to fight the boss repeatedly. But you should atleast get breaks between each form.

I remember raiding one boss for 20 hours in FFXI, shortly after NA release. 18 hours on one boss is insane yes, but we did it.

I was raiding with a Japanese guild at the time.

lmao, couldn't believe this when I read this. what the hell was SE thinking when they scripted that boss? I mean a fight that takes over 18 hours?? Seriously, nobody, I mean NOBODY should have enough time on their hands to be able to do that. Not taking bathroom breaks is pretty unhealthy. not eating. not doing anything human. though I think it's funny that after all that time the raid gave up.how they managed to form a group to take it on is a 1 in a million, bravo.

Apoco, name the NM and your job/level. Also, name the NM and say if you beat it or not.

To my knowledge, AV wasn't even close to being popped "shortly after NA release" even by a high end JP HNMLS. And there isn't, and has never been, another NM in FFXI that could take a dedicated shell anywhere close to that kind of time to beat until they added Pandemonium Warden this year.

And for someone claiming they was on this never before heard of 20 hour marathon, you would know its not called a raid or a guild in FFXI.

Lastly, if you was playing shortly after NA release then how on earth was you even high enough level for a high end HNMLS to allow you to attend on such an event?

You'd need level 75 and COP virtually complete (both of which take months). Plus absolutely top notch gear which takes even longer to attain.

Sorry dude, I'm calling shenanigans on your marathon claim.

Thats insane I remember my first kirin took 1 hour and my first JOL took about the same once we started Krak/eater DRKin it we drop them all in less than a minute XD. Cept AV of course hes still a *** and PW seems even more insane -_-. Oh well Kil'Jaedens on my plate now ^^

The truly messed up part is, people are just realizing Pandemonium takes this long, and SE just admitted AV is designed to be this long too. At least they were able to survive against PW for so goddam long, AV has stood for 4 years without being defeating except with exploits.

That is just terrible design.
