Attestation NMs:
Reside in all the towers except for Nue tower. Prereq for popping these NM is the defeat of Vanguard Eye in Nue tower.
Attestation NMs have 3 jobs and can use EACH JOB SPs. Each NM in the tower is surrounded by 4-6 Shadows. These NMs are always Deathpulled.
But the time we clear the prereq mobs, the Timer alliance should have completed all possible timers and meet up at a specific tower location. If the Shadow team is behind on time, Timer alliance will meet up to support the Shadow team. This means Everyone needs to know how to walk glacier Backwards..

Which attestation NM are we going for? So we know which tower to run to after they've been popped.

Depends on time left. Some towers are very far from last timer point.

Another method is more or less the rush-method. Alpsyche has credit for this:
Thf takes one team, SP pull all the way up to Nue tower. RR when time is right. Defeat Nue eye and drop glass. Re-enter using a new glass and continue.
This method, is quicker and easier but with less farming. Also require a thf that knows exactly where to run.
Thx Alp & Auspice

No need to SP, just flee, use powder boots, and hermes quenchers.

I personally don't like "farming" Shadows, because it's more of a pain in the ass to play with them. Farming NQ mobs are fine while you mess around with the eye Art.

sac them then
if we have 45-50 people we can easily kill them up to nue for massive AFs and shadow NMs (IF got like 8 AFs 3 paper a while back when we had 50)
if short on people, ok lets do sac and get the damn papers so we get more relics

One thing i dunno what alp did for today is:
After he sac pull, did he die alone? or did entire team die at nue tower, RR and go for the eye?
cos what i have in mind for saturday is using THF/NIN.
powder boots and run to nue tower aggroing all shadows/eyes, using flee mid way through (SP if feel like it) and die behind nue tower with ALL the shadows/eyes
While doing the above, 1 person who knows way (most prob kirakun) will bring the team run up to nue tower, following close after i start the sac, and die. prob i will be dead first alone since i have 2 flee and shadows will be in the way walking back to their spot, so i dunno where is a good spot to die so the rest of team dont die on way up at a spot where eyes resides LOL.

I wasn't in the group but I was in their ally.
Everyone had a flee item(hermes, powder boots, or Flee JA), ran to Nue tower and died behind it. After the mobs reset, they RR'd, waited on weakness, then killed the eye.
Alps aggro'd more mobs away(I think?) from them as they were fighting the eye then they all dropped glass and came back with fresh ones.
For specifics, ask Alps since he actually did it.
Ingram came up with the idea.
