Zone Boss Pops And Gold Chests

I currently have 4/9 abyssea wins (attohwa, misareaux, vunkrel and konschat) I dont like to wait around for shouts so i try to farm pop items for 2nd tier NM's i need to get to the boss. The only problem is getting ppl to help me kill 2nd tier NM's, seeing as they dont realy get anything out of helping me. I have MNK and I am currently working on getting my gf's WHM to 90 (72 atm) but she dont get on that much. Now to my question do u think i would have better luck trying to farm gold chests for the key items i need to pop the zone boss or should i just stick to what i am doing, trying to get ppl to help me kill tier 2 NM's for key item?

NMs unless you exp a lot and get them as a side effect. You will get them a lot faster from NMs. If you can get her whm atmas and functioning decently, you can solo all of the NMs that give you key items for zone bosses.
