Rankings

As this addition was such a smash last year, we'd like to present you with the second annual Vana'board Top 100 rankings, starting with malicious monsters that mercilessly massacred the most players.

Exploiting flank openings and using gambits to claw its way to the top of this treacherous pile this year is the rough and tumble bishop Pil.

Last year we saw Abyssean abominations lurking in the upper echelons, but it seems that Voidwatch and Walk of Echoes fiends have overtaken them and now rule the roost.

While this is undoubtedly due in part to the level cap increase making it much more difficult to get KO'd in Abyssea, a shift in players' focus is also a conceivable cause for the change.

Continuing on, let's have a look at the hottest items in Vana'diel's auction house.

Judging from the data, it seems that adventurers most often submit items related to Voidwatch and Magian Trials. One can assume that Durium Ore (third) and Darksteel Ore (sixth) place so high because they are used in synergizing Mekira-oto +1. The same goes for the ninth-ranked Phrygian Ore, which is used in synergy recipes for Phrygian Earrings and Phrygian Rings.

* The different crystal types were not included in the results.
