This information might be useful in the WS or MB section. I'm jotting this down as a note to myself also. ^^

There's a limited number of monster classes in FFXI (as many people often complains about), but the limited number also makes it a little easier to remember a mob's weakness as long as you know what class it belongs to.

---------------------------

Weak against FIRE (Liquidfaction):

Bomb, Skeleton, Hound, Ghost, Weapon, Sapling, Tiger, Morbal, Mandragora, Shadow

Weak Against ICE (Induration):

Yagudo, Beetle, Pugil, Crab, Lizard, Fly, Bird, Spider, Scorpion, Crawler, Mandragora, Tonberry, Bee.

Weak against WIND (Detonation):

Worm, Bat, Lizard, Mandragora, Dhalmel, Cockatrice

Weak against Earth (Scission):

Manticore

Weak against LIGHTNING (Impaction):

Quadav, Rabit, Pugil, Sheep, Crab, Tiger, Spider, Crawler, Mandragora, Tonberry, Doll

Weak against WATER (Reverberation):

Orc, Rabbit, Raptor

Weak against LIGHT (Transfixtion):

Goblin, Worm, Beetle, Bat, Funguar, Hound, Ghost, Weapon, Leech, Scorpion, Shadow

Weak against DARK (Compression):

Rabbit, Sapling, Crawler, Mandragora

---------------------------

When we're in party, we normally try to do a level 2 skill chain (Graviation, Distortion, Fragmentaion, and Fusion). Determining which one is most effective is the same as with level 1 skill chain and we just have to remember which two elements makes up the level 2 skill chain.

For example, Distortion is a Water/Ice element so it is effective against mobs weak to either water or ice.

Something that confused me early on was that I forgot that combining two level 1 skill chain creates a level 2 skill chain with different elements. For example, Transfixion(light)-to-Scission(earth) makes Distortion(water/ice) and not light/earth.

Just to start off a chart relating Mobs and the elements they're weak against. Can't paste the full HTML here and so I had to change the extension to .txt so I can attach it.

wow I keep finding cool new stuff when I go browsing around here ^^ CoP gave us some new monster types maybe you want to update this if you have some time Bak. I also think you left off Coeurl class (weak to earth).

Is there one out there that shows what enfeebing spells to use for MB? Or is just relying on the color icon next to the spell name is good enough?
