Just one question for thought, if someone can do this for Peaca Lower, can the same be done for Peaca Normal?

Duh.
Barrier Spikes is THE number one alchemy skill, ever.

I don't know about "number one", but yea, barrier spikes can allow you to kill most monsters, regardless of their PD, as long as they are able to attack the walls.

That's pretty awesome, reflecting damage bypasses anything, I guess.
I guess that means I can help out in Peaca boss rooms more than just making Ghost Swords.

And that's why I got Rank 1 Barrier Spikes as soon as G9 came along

I remember seeing this video xD
Made me want to get to r1.
But I'm waiting at r9 (or A or w/e i'm at) since I forgot I'm still working on other things. xD

This video is my inspiration for getting barrier spikes.
I wanted to test this on Peaca Normal but the guys who went with me insisted that it won't work.
My reasoning is that they didn't believe because they haven't seen this video.
I showed this to my friend, hopefully to convince him that it might work, because I'm tired of people telling me that it won't work without even testing it out, telling me Demi Lich has too much hp (I say it's bs) and just insisting that ghost swords are the only way to go.
Demi Lich and Banshee both have 5000 hp. Which is why I'm curious to know if barrier spikes would work on Peaca Normal boss as well.
As a side note, it seems to me that one of G11 Tara Castle Mission's boss Snake Lizard vs Barrier Spikes is ineffective. I don't see any damage reflected to it when it's attacking the spikes. So barrier spikes can possibly be ineffective during certain situations.
I ought to test it out on the doppelganger someday.

The downside of barrier spikes is that it doesn't tend to be useful in large parties unless you tell and separate the meleers from the rangers/mages/alchemists or tell them to be careful when aiming their attacks.

Very true, but playing with a guild or group of friend who know about it kinda make the skill easier to set up. Your point is way too valid in random party case though, that or the jerk who think it's fun to destroy your barrier when you set them up.

Coordination is always important in large parties. Since mabinogi is so big on strategy, sometimes teamwork coordination can help you do dungeons your party would not be prepared for yet.
Example: Ice tennis helps you destroy just about any monster, lets you duo any dungeon without multiaggro issues at level 5.
If the entire time spammed barrier spikes everything would literally kill themselves.
