to start off, i really can't claim all the credit. i began this challenge several months ago on Charingo's "please kill me" coli challenge. less because i was after the prize offered, and more because completing the bestiary (sans sprites, beta, KS, and downtime familiars) is one of my long-term FR goals.
this is my entry in Charingo's challenge thread. now that i've got this, i won't be updating it anymore. but the setup used in that entry will carry over! to clarify, here are the guidelines:
as of 9/18/2017 i will be converting this from a boss familiar challenge to an all-coliseum-familiar challenge. the update will be gradual and i will curse every time they add a new venue.
as of 11/29/2018 i'll be combining this into a longdrop challenge, since i'm doing essentially the same kind of long grind anyway. to clarify the change in setup:
this is my entry in Charingo's challenge thread. now that i've got this, i won't be updating it anymore. but the setup used in that entry will carry over! to clarify, here are the guidelines:
- the familiars must be collected from the coliseum by me. no buying allowed!
- that's not to say i'm not allowed to obtain boss fams via other methods, but i won't count it toward this challenge if i am gifted or win a boss fam.
- to prove that i farmed them up, a screenshot of each bossdrop must be provided. no screenshot, no credit.
- the ones that dropped while doing Charingo's challenge have my username shown in the screenie as proof of my identity; however, for this personal challenge, i'm foregoing that and cropping the screencap down a bit more.
- though optional, i will be including notable drops from each venue as i farm.
- for reference, when i'm grinding fodder in the mire/ruins/roost/pools with a trainer not capable of taking on the boss alone, i don't consider myself to be boss farming, so i won't count those drops. only drops obtained while i am purposefully boss-hunting will be shown.
- this challenge will be considered complete when i have one boss familiar from every applicable venue. stage 2, which we'll call "exorcise my tortured spirit pls" will aim to get the other boss drop from every venue.
- according to the Nov 21, 2016 weekly Q&A, the coarsefur yeti in the boreal woods is not meant to be a boss. it should more rightly be considered a miniboss. however, it's in Charingo's challenge, and i wouldn't pass up the opportunity to heap more suffering upon myself by including it in this.

as of 11/29/2018 i'll be combining this into a longdrop challenge, since i'm doing essentially the same kind of long grind anyway. to clarify the change in setup:
- the next time i go into each venue and get dropped loot, the first (as in the top leftmost) common drop item will be my target item. things like battlestones, apparel, eggs, etc will not be considered. just the food or material or trinket items.
- once that target item is locked in, i will continue to grind until i have an entire 99 stack of it. along the way i'll be keepign the notable drops updated like usual.
