Notes/Strategy

• Easily soloed with 99WAR/DNC, and most likely any 99 job. Kill everything except the Recollector to gain memories.
• Constant Wanderers do not agro at 99(even to resting) and did not link.
• Defeating the Recollector will end the battle. AOE weaponskills or spells will quickly kill the Recollector(2x Fell Cleave will kill it).
• Do not AOE near the Recollector unless at least 10,000 memories(periodically displays current amount in chat log) have been gained or the battle ends with no reward.
• Constant Wanderers yield 10~200 memories each, with an additional bonus 800 for defeating every ~20.
• Different Hollow elementals have different effects:
  • Hollow Fire - 1 minute Accuracy / Attack boost buffs
  • Hollow Ice - 1 minute Magic Attack / Intesion buffs
  • Hollow Air - Restores 1000 TP
  • Hollow Earth - Bind all enemies
  • Hollow Thunder - 1 minute Potency buff
  • Hollow Water - Restores all MP
  • Hollow Light - Restores all HP
  • Hollow Darkness - Kill all Constant Wanderers and give the resulting Memories to the player
• Futile Thinkers yield the most memories by far - a multiple of 3950, based on how long the battle has gone on for (3950, 7900, 11850, etc.). They also have far more HP than any other monsters present, and may prove somewhat challenging to fight while being attacked by many other monsters. This issue is irrelevant at level 99.
• The target memory amount is at least 10,000. For example; reward not received when the Recollector was killed with 9,890 memories, but was received with 10,190 memories. All players are rewarded with one Distant Imprint, and the orb user has a chance at additionally receiving an Distant Reminiscence.
  • Imprints and reminiscences can be redeemed for a random prize from the list above at Shami.
