	*The ENM can be trio'd with different setups also, but mnk is is well suited for this enm because they have a very useful 2hr and can use Chakra to gain hp back. You can easily replace the mnk(s) or sam(s) with wars or different jobs but with a different setup you might have to take a tp wing or hp meds. War/sam or war/nin works also burning the Hunters with 2hr>ws>tp wing>ws (or 2hr>ws>meditate>ws).		*The ENM can be trio'd with different setups also, but mnk is is well suited for this enm because they have a very useful 2hr and can use Chakra to gain hp back.

	** another strategy to trio this fight with [[Monk]]/[[Ninja]] (we had Galka) [[Samurai]]/[[Ninja]] (we had Hume) [[White Mage]]/[[Scholar]] (we had Mithra) is to enter, buff etc, after first pop of [[Tuchulcha]] go around as a group (because if you split up other members might be to far if you get a pop alone) if pops an hunter kill it without 2hr, save 2hr of mnk and sam for 2nd and 3rd hunters if should pop. We managed to kill all of 3 hunters and [[Tuchulcha]] in this way in 13 minutes with little trouble and without meds, without use of benediction and with no MP problem.

	*We trio this nearly every 5 days as [[Samurai]]/[[Ninja]]x2 and [[White Mage]]/[[Scholar]]. It's fairly straight forward and can take anywhere from 6 minutes to 13 and change depending on how lucky we are with [[Tuchulcha]] pops. I wouldn't say 'skilled' is even a pre-requisite, just a standard knowledge of the game and a bit of end-game experience can carry a three man group through this. The Whm can obviously be replaced by pretty much any mage job. Blm might be a little sketchy, but could still probably be pulled off. I see no reason why this ENM should/would be attempted with more than a three man group.

After the initial aggro of [[Tuchulcha]], run around as a group to search out the Antlions. [[Monk]] and [[Samurai]] use their 2-hour abilities on 2 of the 3 hunters if aggro'd. If the third hunter spawns have the [[Red Mage]] [[sleep]] and [[gravity]] while searching out [[Tuchulcha]]. Can be done this way in less than 10 minutes. Meds are recommended for the [[Red Mage]] i.e. [[Vile Elixir]], [[Vile Elixir +1]]		*Can be trio'd by a skilled [[Monk]]/[[Ninja]], [[Samurai]]/[[Warrior]], and [[Red Mage]]/[[White Mage]] with the use of 2-hours by the [[Monk]] and [[Samurai]].

Samurai used skillchains for each pop, successfully taking out well over 30% HP per skillchain. Icarus Wing and Meikyo Shisui sometimes required.

		⚫	*Duo this ENM regularly with sam/war and rdm/whm and neither of us use 3rd party tools to locate the NM. A few close calls but no loss so far. See the luck part :P, tho I know 2x rdm/nin and some other job combos can duo the ENM with difficulty.

		⚫	*Easily trio'd with 2x SAM/NIN and RDM/WHM. SAMs share hate on the NM while taking turns to create skillchains. SAMs each take a turn to use their 2 hour ability on the non-NM monsters. The RDM would sleep the third non-NM monster while the SAMs found and killed the NM. The hardest part of the fight was finding the NM 3 times in the 15 minute time limit.

		⚫	* Easily killed with Samurai x3 and a White Mage. Even if you find the regular monsters instead of the NM, you can still finish with plenty of time. Some form of refresh is required, and usually one of the Samurai should be /war to take hate off the mage. Possible to rest during fights if the Samurai are skilled enough to not take damage for the 10+ seconds it takes to get mp back. Everyone, including the mage, should follow a single individual to pop the mobs so multiple fights at the same time do not result in a death. Not recommended to rest while the others are looking, because you have a good chance to trigger another Antlion searching for those that are dying. Not known if using Sneak will avoid aggro from Ants still under the ground.

It's fairly straight forward and can take anywhere from 6 minutes to 13 and change depending on how lucky we are with [[Tuchulcha]] pops. I wouldn't say 'skilled' is even a pre-requisite, just a standard knowledge of the game and a bit of end-game experience can carry a three man group through this. The Whm can obviously be replaced by pretty much any mage job. Blm might be a little sketchy, but could still probably be pulled off. I see no reason why this ENM should/would be attempted with more than a three man group.

			*Can be beaten with SAM/NIN, PLD/NIN, THF/NIN, WHM/BLM with some difficulty, no 2-hours used.

			* Can be duoed by [[Samurai]]/[[Ninja]] and [[Red Mage]]/[[White Mage]] with some difficulty.

			* Can be duoed by skilled [[Monk]]/[[Warrior]] and [[Red Mage]]/[[White Mage]]

			** NM hits for about 120-150 (up to 300 on a crit). /WAR is not a great idea unless you want to rely on Counterstance to keep you alive. Me (MNK/WAR) and a friend (RDM/WHM) got the NM down to about 50% before he was completely out of MP. We got unlucky and found two antlions and failed.

			* Can be Duoed by decently geared [[Red Mage]]/[[Ninja]] and [[Black Mage]]/[[Ninja]] using [[Utsusemi]] to avoid hits and AM2 and Tier IV nukes to drop [[Tuchulcha]] Avoiding the hunters is key here as having to sleep more then one can ruin the run.

			*Duo this ENM regularly with sam/war and rdm/whm and neither of us use 3rd party tools to locate the NM. A few close calls but no loss so far. See the luck part :P, tho I know 2x rdm/nin and some other job combos can duo the enm with difficulty.

			* Easily killed with Samurai x3 and a White Mage. Even if you find the regular monsters instead of the NM, you can still finish with plenty of time. Some form of refresh is required, and usually one of the Samurai should be /war to take hate off the mage. Possible to rest during fights if the Samurai are skilled enough to not take damage for the 10+ seconds it takes to get mp back. Everyone, including the mage, should follow a single individual to pop the mobs so multiple fights at the same time do not result in a death. Not recommended to rest while the others are looking, because you have a good chance to trigger another Antlion searching for those that are dieing. Not known if using Sneak will avoid aggro from Ants still under the ground.

			* Can be trio'd by RDM,SMN and WHM with ease.

			*Easily trio'd with 2x SAM/NIN and RDM/WHM. SAMs share hate on the NM while taking turns to create skillchains. SAMs each take a turn to use their 2 hour ability on the non-NM monsters. The RDM would sleep the third non-NM monster while the SAMs found and killed the NM. The hardest part of the fight was finding the NM 3 times in the 15 minute time limit.

			*Can be duo'd by a well-geared [[Samurai]]/[[Warrior]] and [[Dragoon]]/[[White Mage]] with luck. Dragoon took care of erasing bind as well as curing via wyvern. Samurai used skillchains for each pop, successfully taking out well over 30% HP per skillchain. Icarus Wing and Meikyo Shisui sometimes required.

			*Can be duo'd by a skilled [[Beastmaster]]/[[Ninja]] using Singing Herbal Broth and a [[Red Mage]]/[[White Mage]].

			*Can be trio'd by a skilled [[Monk]]/[[Ninja]], [[Samurai]]/[[Warrior]], and [[Red Mage]]/[[White Mage]] with the use of 2-hours by the [[Monk]] and [[Samurai]]. After the initial aggro of [[Tuchulcha]], run around as a group to search out the Antlions. [[Monk]] and [[Samurai]] use their 2-hour abilities on 2 of the 3 hunters if aggro'd. If the third hunter spawns have the [[Red Mage]] [[sleep]] and [[gravity]] while searching out [[Tuchulcha]]. Can be done this way in less than 10 minutes. Meds are recommended for the [[Red Mage]] i.e. [[Vile Elixir]], [[Vile Elixir +1]]

			*The ENM can be trio'd with different setups also, but mnk is is well suited for this enm because they have a very useful 2hr and can use chakra to gain hp back. You can easily replace the mnk(s) or sam(s) with wars or different jobs but with a different setup you might have to take a tp wing or hp meds. War/sam or war/nin works also burning the Hunters with 2hr>ws>tp wing>ws (or 2hr>ws>meditate>ws).

			* Can be trio'd by RDM,SMN and WHM with ease.
			* Easily duo'ed as Drg/Blu and Brd/Whm... Could probably solo if it weren't for the Bind affect on Sandpit. Saurian Helm or Relic is a must if your going to attempt a Drg solo.
