I dunno, I got my talisman before starting the quest when helping Doodles get hers. Entering the fight though is probably a different story and requires you to have the quest up to status.

To farm the "item" talisman you don't need the quest flagged, but to get into the bcnm, you need the "key item" talisman.

where is Spira and his testing of Alex, and Odin. I thought I would have seen a topic by now explaining everything.

What I'd like to know for the summon fights is can the images be killed or must they absolutely be kited. It's a pain in the ass to get a group if ur not a SMN and I'd like to believe there is another way of doing these fights without SMN burning them. If the images cannot be slept, I would imagine they have low HP and can be killed as soon as they pop? if anyone used a different approach than going with 5 SMN and a support class, I'd really like your feedback.

I went with 4 SMN, 1 PLD and me as WHM and either we did not produce enough dmg or kiting was horrible, but we got him down to 10%, both me and the PLD died kiting and the SMNs were OOM and we wiped.

no i meant can ppl help without flagging the quest?

Can't figure out how to repeat quest after win. Isn't the wait after an Avatar win JST midnight? I beat Odin last afternoon, so JST midnight has passed, but trading to Yoyoroon any combination of the irmik, sultac and talisman does not work. One person on wiki says to trade to the imperial gate, and tried there too, and it didn't work. Tried the NPCs at walahra temple and nothing.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's broken and S-E needs to do update #2.

busy doing missions lol..

and its horrible to test on PS3. my old laptop got busted and I just got my new one and its currently patching so by tmr I shd be able to get some tests done (if any) but it might also wait a few days cos I have an exam on friday to study for.

im with Chocoburger on this.... trying to request for the torque and im not getting any cs from anything. is it a 24hr wait or what?

[DarkRift]

I have read you have to wait 24 hours.

0/1 on both fights :/ I went DRG for alex to try to kill the adds and he spawns them a little too quick. Odin raped us since our RDM kiter was killed while kiting, IDK if RDM needs movement speed + to pull that off or what. Just need to re-farm the talisman

24 real life hours have passed now. Walahra Temple NPCs is a no, Imperial Gate (traded combo of all 3 items) is a no, Yoyoroon (traded combo of all 3) is a no, even tested Odin's gate and the Astral Glimmer next to it, both are a no.

If it's repeatable at this point in time, it sure is a headscratcher. Or broken. I just heard in-game that when you repeat the quests for Alex/Odin the quest name is different. It may be a possibilitiy that S-E doesn't want us to repeat it *yet* but maybe next update those "new quests" will unlock and you can repeat endlessly.


EDIT: Figured it out, go to Naja to restart Odin (why did they make it her? *sigh*) then go to Imperial Gate. Supposedly Abqubah for restarting Alexander (can't confirm this, about to get my first Alex clear now).

Well finally did Odin last night, composition was 2 SAM, 1 BLU, 1 PLD, 1 WHM and 1 BRD. Everyone had /nin as subjob except me (WHM) and the BRD. This setup is much easier than SMN burn with kiting. SAMs just tear the shit out of him. One thing to remember when you go to fight Odin, bring echo drops!!! All three of my DDs didn't bring any and some of them had to stay silenced for a while for Silena to be off cooldown.

If you're not a SMN, go with good DDs and a BRD and you'll win for sure. He spawned 1 image btw.

Oh and to restart Odin or Alexander, you have to talk to Naja after JP midnight. You'll need new items again >.<

To restart Alex just get near Naja and a CS should start.
