Elemental Magian Dagger TrialsFollow

I know lots of people are excited about the occasionally attacks 2x Magian dagger, but I have been working on getting the AGI+4 Evasion+12. I was wondering if other people have been working on this dagger and where they have been doing the specific trials. I've completed Trial 16, which is 100 rabbits in any weather. This was done ridiculously easily in Uleguerand Range.

The next trial is 17, which is 100 crabs in thunder, fire, wind, or light weather. I thought I would try Terrigan, but I forgot how many people FoV there. Even if weather was up, claiming more than a couple crabs before it ended would be hard. So I turn to the forum to see if anyone has had any luck with step 2 or further. I know this is going to take a long time to finish, but efficiency is still key.

Here are the required trials for this dagger:

Trial 16 - 100 Rabbits in any weather (Best zone: Uleguerand Range)
Trial 17 - 100 Crabs in Fire, Thunder, Wind, or Light weather (Best zone: Vunkerl Inlet [S])
Trial 24 - 100 Monsters in Wind weather OR Windsday (Anywhere really, I did Terrigan mobs near outpost)
Trial 25 - 100 Vermin in Wind weather OR Windsday (I did spiders in Kuftal, helping my wife with her cure staff)
Trial 26 - 150 Birds in Wind weather OR Windsday (I did Tragopans in Bibiki on Windsday)
Trial 27 - 200 Morbols in Wind weather OR Windsday

Would the best strategy be to camp out in one zone and be patient, or check weather and move around accordingly? Another variable to consider is that objective can be completed under level sync.

17 is actually Fire, Wind, Thunder or Light as you mentioned correctly earlier in your post.

I did this one easily in Vunkerl Inlet (S). Plenty of crabs all the way around the pond, and wind / thunder weather are the only weather and are common. Look around for THFs or DNCs as you kill, and you might find others doing the same thing as you. I ended up inviting people until we had 5xTHF and a DNC. Kills were fast (and a lot of fun), with a little downtime waiting for weather.

The best thing about these trials is that there doesn't need to be any competition. Team up and everybody wins.

I had a setup like that as well in Vunkerl and we ended up rounding up all the grabs and AoE Cycloning them to death lmfao. It was hilarious. We killed all 10-12 pops on the North side of the moat within ~8 minutes. Then just wait for repops.

Anyone know a good place for 100 Beasts in Fire weather? I tried opo-opo in Ifrit's Cauldron. And fire weather was being very stingy. As well in The Temple of Uggalepih. Finally I went to Western Altepa, but fire weather wasn't gonna be there the next 3 hours according to the weather npc. And the Manticores there are both EP and TWTBW at 75. Thinking I might have to resort to level sync. But finding someone of the correct level that's willing to help is hard lol.

Great advice on Vunkerl, thanks! This is why I asked because I completely forgot about the crabs there.
