User:Arkevorkhat/Solo Abyssea Red Proc Guide

From FFXI Wiki

Generating red procs in Abyssea is the most efficient way to obtain abyssea NM drops for creating Empyrean Weapons and reforging Empyrean Armor.

There is only one job combination that is able to perform *all* red proc weaponskills, and that is NIN/WAR.

Strategy

Overall the process is fairly quick and easy.

Equip whatever atma you have that provide haste and/or multiattack and/or store-tp

I like Atma of the Sun Eater, Atma of the Plaguebringer, and Atma of the Omnipotent, in that order.

Bring trusts that don't engage. Koru-Moru, Apururu (UC), Cherukiki, and Ulmia are all good options.

Exceptions: Check the page for the NM you are fighting. There are some NMs in Abyssea that are completely immune to melee or physical damage. You may or may not be able to proc these enemies, depending on their mechanics.

Cycle through all 9 of your weapons, performing each weaponskill on the Abyssea Red Proc list once while the NM is neither casting nor preparing a TP move. If you get through the whole list without a proc, you most likely used a weaponskill at the during a cast/prepare and will need to try again.
