Abyssea - Tahrongi Discussion

that's the second NM that website has reported as dropping goading belt

I think I'll wait until a NA pops it to get excited

[Mokou]

Yes, I probably wouldn't have posted it except for the fact that they have at least a little info on the NM and xp/cruor values.

Been trying hard to get a Karkinos pop for a while now, but Nahn won't give key item ;\ easy kite fight has low HP, SAM/RNG and RDM/NIN can easily duo him, doesn't have any enhanced movement speed from what I've noticed as the first time I encountered him I ran away in dusk gloves and was perfectly fine, and when I took the gloves off cause I had forgotten they were on it was even easier.

edit: @ above minhacao:

pick any 3 dd/nin, get a rdm whm and a brd,

and go kill the worm.

also we where able to kite minhacao by a RDM/DRK with 8% movement, eventually de-aggro'ing it, doesn't (always?) have flee speed.

[krizz]

I can't confirm this with first hand information, but apparently the ??? that requires overgrown mandragora flower and chipped sandworm tooth pops Lacovie, an Adamantoise type NM (which makes sense with its placement) which drops:

Hero's Galea
[Head] All Races
DEF:41 HP+45 VIT+11 AGI-7 CHR+11 Enmity+8
LV 80 WAR PLD

Saika Hachimaki

Goading Belt

LV 77 All Jobs

What is this I don't even.

I find this hard to believe. At least that it would have two sources within Abyssea. This doesn't follow the pattern at all. It's more understandable if it was reported to also drop from a higher tier WoE battlefield.

Please post the pronunciation of this

Mikt - Lahn - Tay - Coot - Lee



Pld tanking this last night reported hearing the sound of a 2 hour repeatedly during the fight, we hadn't timed the instances as it was after the fact, but it seemed to coincide with him absorbing physical dmg from 2 rngs, while taking higher than normal damage from tachi:gekko. Additionally, when the drg used angon, the Sam's gekko spiked up to 1944, while myself and the other rng dropped damage, we both hit for 60, 54, 0, 60 while regular attacks were doing 150+

Do the JP's not have a cultural equivalent of "POIDH"?

What items does WoE give that are Rare/Ex? I find it being in Abyssea completely plausible and probable, having 2 diff mobs drop it not likely though.

Also wtf if the zone boss is Lacovie (Adamantoise) where the hell is Iratham?

[Neosutra]

Lacovie being the zone boss is believable due to the other 2 zone bosses. Seems like Iratham will be the total abyssea boss perhaps (popped by.... ? idk).

However the drops seem odd.

[benny]

Further info on Lacovie translated from the JP source above, it's pretty specific so maybe the drop is not BS?:

Casts Stone V, Quake, Break, Slow 2; uses Invincible multiple times; during Invincible his magic becomes AoE; full alliance receives 5500 XP, 1100 cruor.

Could it be possible that certain weather or day gives Sandworm increased movement speed?

The day I pulled it was on Winds Day as far as I remember.

Actually I was banking on Iratham BECAUSE of the other two zone bosses. If you look at the official Abyssea add-on site, they have Elasmoths and Purbols there, which made me think "oh well obviously the Tahrongi boss is Iratham then, since they showed the other 2 zone bosses"

cause we all know it wasn't going to an Adenium (is Chloris though?)

[Priran]

where the hell is Iratham?

Didn't someone say that they found an untargetable ??? in Tahrongi using Apradar?

I meant it dropping from two mobs in Abyssea doesn't seem as likely as it dropping from Abyssea and WoE.

You have a point in that I have no idea what R/Ex WoE drops there are, if any.

Someone = me, and since I'm cancer, my information is garbage.

But yes, there was a ??? in the middle of the zone

Definitely doesn't have Flee speed. 25% would be believable, but it's easy to outrun when you're using obstacles to slow it down. Caught up to my W.Legs when running straight.

[Cairthenn]

That's very reassuring. Anything in particular to note with that setup that hasn't been stated before?

Aegis Excal PLD, Amano SAM, Yagrush WHM, Gjallarhorn BRD..but none of it is necessary anyways.

Do you think the pld could be replaced with a mnk? If not, what are some things that would prevent mnk from doing it? just curious

MNK would be fine.

[GavinBandura]

I don't think it's fair to call yourself cancer, you're just incredibly stupid, especially regarding FFXI.

[NynJa]

I have a better idea, why dont you take your dumbfuck ass back to the XIV boards and go back to asking your godsend questions, or your amazing discoveries.

I'm atleast contributing something here, instead of you trolling every post with bullshit banter.

in fact, your only two posts (the other being here) in all 4 abyssea threads, are doing nothing but attemping to shit on me. Get fucked.

[isladar]

I have zero patience for this shit, cut it out.
