Xsaeta II (Dark)

This is the dark affinity: magic damage +1, magic accuracy +6, & recast time -14% path.

Trial 790
Objective: Kill 50 treants in any weather.
Areas: See dark-oriented staff common trials.

Trial 841
Objective: Kill 50 slimes in a ice, earth, water, or dark weather.
Note: Clots do not count.
Areas: See dark-oriented staff common trials.

Trial 878
Objective: Kill 50 monsters during dark weather/day.
Areas: See dark-oriented staff common trials.

Trial 879
Objective: Kill 50 beasts during dark weather/day.
Areas: Limestone Hare in Abyssea – Misareaux near Conflux #02. For Dark Weather/Day, Xarcabard [S] is the best choice. Kill Gigas Tigers near the outpost. There are several near the outpost, so you can just keep killing. Since you will not be wearing a proper staff, I suggest you stick to Tier V magic. There is also a Gigas’ Tiger camp in Vunkrel Inlet [S] with two BST Gigas near each other at (E-12).

Trial 884
Reward: [Lv. 75 Teiwaz] Dark: Affinity +1
Objective: Apply the finishing blow to 150 birds (family) with at least 50 dark damage.
Areas: Coastal Colibiri or Frigatebird in Abyssea – Misareaux near Conflux #00. Sky has easy access to birds. Lesser Colibri would also work. Grauberg [S] off Graubergy Hippogryphs may be an interesting camp since they have MP to aspir.

Trial 886
Reward: [Lv. 75 Teiwaz] Dark: MACC +3, MDMG +1
Objective: Defeat 250 pugils while they are under the affect of dark-based status ailment.
Areas: Blademaw Pugil in Abyssea – Vunkrel near Conflux #03. Peak Pugil in Abyssea – Grauberg near Conflux #04.

Trial 1746
Reward: [Lv. 75 Teiwaz] Dark: MACC +3, MDMG +1
Objective: Defeat 250 crabs while they are under the affect of dark-based status ailment.
Areas: Gasher & Slasher in Abyssea – Misareaux near Conflux #05. Glen Crab in Abyssea – Grauberg near Conflux #04. The Tree is nice, but you will need both camps of Robber Crabs to keep you busy all the time. The Robber Crabs are especially nice since they have fairly low HP. An alternative would be Vunkrel Inlet [S].

Trial 1747
Reward: [Lv. 80 Yama’s Staff] Dark: MACC +4, MDMG +1
