While I have not done so myself, one of them remarked that Grafu Easy could become mento farm instance of choice. Any comments on that?

Our guild has started farming it. It's much faster and more fun than dod spamming. 27 mentos from doing 1-4 and we can get that done in like 5 minutes. Thats pretty darn good IMO. I managed to get 180 or so yesterday from farming it for like an hour or so.

On the first boss, is everyone supposed to click the box when the color is called out? Or just one person from the party?

Everybody.

When the boxes appear, everybody has to run to the box on the floor tile that corresponds with their debuff.

dusk=red floor tile
purple=purple floor tile
indigo=green floor tile.

Only click it once though, because it does damage to you everytime you click it.

Okay, earlier today someone was saying that in "normal" mode, only one person needs to click and on "hard" mode, everyone needs to click.

Updated OP with caution about boxes. Thx for the input guys.

The Sardo thread is getting more attention that the Grafu, is anyone even bothering with this instance or is Sardo that much easier?

With My guilds clear of Sardo Castle we have turned are attention to Grafu Hard mode. Bosses 1-4 is relatively easy and working on getting 5th boss strat down before moving on.

Udate: 5th Boss hard mode downed pretty heal intensive fight if anyone lags and gets caught in the poison but all in all simple boss

Ya, 3rd boss isn't that bad for the Strat.

People need to be fast with the cages & the acupuncture debuff.

Everyone needs to click on the box otherwise they hit very hard in Normal and in Hard Mode, it's instant kill (130m damage.)

The rabbits inside the hat need to die.

8 hits and it will ensure the boss does not do a massive kill AoE.

Don't forget.

Each person inside the hat has to kill their own rabbit. Otherwise they will not the buff that protects them when they come out.

Another thing.

This boss can be and has been 3-manned and 5-manned.

2 Healers, 2 DPS, 1 Tank for 5-man.

1 person goes inside the hat and makes it much easier.

target them and kill them off the player, thats the only thing that helps. needs coordination as in "ive got a wrestler [mirage] on me" via voice.

I have yet to use the stone but AFAIK it protects you from being feared if you got one on you (so after the first killed mirage one important person like tank or heal could protect him/herself from atleast the fear-effect. Usually having a DPS or two stop damage on Annelia for a second and kill the thing off the player is easier.

can you be more specific?

we have:
- the 4 little bears that spawn throughout the whole bossfight and need to be kited away from the group
- the 2 Big bears that need to go down simultaneously and with distance from each other (Lafadius + Heticus)
- the face-huggers wrestler-mirage that need to be killed off a player they send around in the room

what else? mob's name would be useful, ill either look it up then or ask/look around in our next fight (its just not my job as a tank so i usually only care about the stuff i have to do in the actual fight and may not know every single detail w/o asking a DPS

)

think just 1 is hittable/tab target-able, the one not humping your dps. wrestler mirage is correct, just tab, kill and hope you didnt tab to a little exploding bear :p dead mirage and both go away for 25 sec i think
