Heroes of Abyssea - What you should know!

[Garota]

Ok, gonna start this topic off by saying... Where the hell is everything you need to find?!?! Ok, to start off, with the new content released there are new Moogles and Maws which will be your best friends for this new expansion. So this is a simple and basic compilation of where to find stuff!

Artisan Moogles
Sells you a Mog Sack for 9,980 Gil
Free "Instant Warp" once per day (Earth time).

Southern San d'Oria (M-6)
Bastok Markets (H-7)
Windurst Woods (G-10)
Ru'Lude Gardens (I-9) - Directly Outside of Mog House on stairs

Maws

Abyssea - Altepa
South Gustaberg (J-10) - South East from Vomp Hill.

Abyssea - Grauberg
North Gustaberg (G-7) - Almost at the very edge along (G-6) in the Top/East Portion of the map, not the Bottom/West Portion where Outpost is.

Abyssea - Ulegrand
Xarcabard (H-8 ) - Directly East of Vhazl.

Nice things picking up from new Conflux Serveyors.
Ivory abyssites of:

Merit (HP+10% MP+5%) - 6000 Cruor
Celerity (4 Hours off Traverser Stone Restock) - 9000 Cruor
Furtherance (Stats+10) - 7500 Cruor

JSE Emotes
Magian Moogle in Ru'Lude Gardens
Level 30 minimum required for desired job emote. Complete the Magian Trial specified by the Moogle.

Shami
Fat bastard STILL won't store Kindred Crests for you.

Synthetic Atmas

Beast King: Behemoth
Kirin: Kirin
Luminous Wings: Absolute Virtue
Dragon Rider: ?
Impenetrable: Adamantoise
Alpha and Omega: Proto-Omega
Ultimate: Proto-Ultima
Hybrid Beast: Fafnir

Dark Depths: Salvage
Zenith: Nyzul
Perfect Attendance: Captain Rank
Rescuer: ?
Nightmares: Dynamis Tavnazia Win
Einherjar: Odin
Illuminator: Fiat Lux
Ace Angler: ?

Possibly based on HNM titles obtained previously, Missions/Story Completion and Quests, other accomplishments (such as completing Dynamis - Tavnazia).

For those that haven't gotten to it yet, Dominion is very similar to FoV but without the cooldown. The NPC tells you to kill 5 of XXXX mob (it will be mobs that are near the NPC you flag it from). It will give you a difficulty rating of 1-5 stars. After messing around on the same mobs for about an hour, the difficulty seems to be based on the /check of the mobs. As we know, the mobs in Abyssea respawn at higher levels if they're killed rapidly, so base level DC mobs will be 1 Star while high VT-IT will be 5 Stars. This seemed to be the case for me when I was doing them, as when I got there, people were killing the mobs and they all checked VT to me and the rating was 5 stars. I left and came back and the group was gone and it was back down to 1 Star fighting DCs. After killing the shit out of them for a short while, they started popping EM and, sure enough, they went up to 2 Stars. By the time I was done, some more small groups moved in and started to kill and it was up to 4 Stars /checking as T.

Oh yeah, unlike FoV, you don't get the credit when you kill the last mob; you have to check with the NPC again.

Anything else worth mentioning I'll edit it into this original post, thank you!

Tell me what to kill for all job emote ex items. You have 5 minutes, go.

[Yugl]

So this Lunar Abyssite won't be bought? Bummer.

[Colenzo]

heard there are no ephermals in Uleguerand Range

[Aemora]

No Ephs in Altepa, nor can I find #05...

Also, could not target ANY ??? on the map. 5 NMs up from what I can count, including one that looks like the quest NM <.<

Were you expecting it to be? You get each of the multiple abyssites from a different source in each addon. ie one celerity is bought, one is from an nm, and one is from a quest. Seemed pretty obvious just from the visions+scars really =/

[Karbuncle]

Whats Dominion ?

[Velocy]

Ninja job emote requires 1 Eastern paper, drops from Yag Herald and another Yag in Saurm. got on first kill

[Lyramion]

Killed 5 Raptors in Ule for Dominion

Got

2000 EXP
400 Cruor
200 Dominion things

[Pergo]

things i've noticed in grauberg:

-No Ephs
-No NMs found yet, only 1 ??? found, i don't think its for an NM pop though.
-The Fayspring has light and dark faeries, the dark ones aggro sight and are rdms.
-They covered up the part in Skyrend where you can see Crag of Dem.
-Mobs are also extremely spaced out (mob families that is), i'm walking in an empty zone most of the time

uh, free celerity is win!
happy that will be out of the way...

Lenity: Marvin + Tuskertrap
Merit: Paparazzi + Medial quests
Prosperity: Addled + Coop quests
Sojourn: Mielikki + Ovni

Wouldn't that counter your claim?

Edit: Free celerity is win. I just hope the third lunar isn't a bitch to get.

[Lyramion]

Maybe the NMs are spawned by the Dominion Ops? <.<

Not zone quest, killed it and just gave atma + normal exp/cruor/notes

[Pandorablue]

Sorry if this has been answered before, but where do you start the job emote quests at least? I just perused the dat mine and didn't see it in the quest info.

Edit: Just added to OP post, never mind.

Confluxes in Altepa. Some mobs are:
SE Of #01 is Amoebans and Cloinids.
In that space directly between #01 and #03, overlooking the desert are Ladybirds.
#03 is Empty atm.
Folloiwng Anti-clockwise from 3>7 are Manticores, Tigers (NM), Scorps (NM, huuuge) and Dhalmel somewhere.
In the SE area of the huge central bit are Cockatrices and that spirey bit at (J-9) are Rocs with what looks like the quest NM (at least the quest NM design) around there, and Cloinids to the north at (J-7)
SE of #04 are Wyverns with a Dakah NM.
Leading down from #4 is a whole load of Puks, with Murex where KV is today.
#06 is covered with Black Mandies with a Cactuar NM, between 6-8 are Dolls, and East of 8 are Bombs with a Chariot NM

Played with that NM for a bit on RDM... Is a RDM chariot with fire-based moves and crit me for 700 :<. Saw no TP moves go off. Also roaming around I found a few Dominion camps... One near #08, one on the South side of the huge rock in the center near the Oasis, and another on the far-west side north of #07 (I think), and one close to #05, NE of it.

[Yugl]

We should find pin spots while there are empty spaces. Just sayin~

[Thalandor46]

No flux 0 for Dominion?

Oh yeah, and what was flux activation cost?

[Thorny]

All in Attohwa:

Scorp NM drops thunder belt, looks to be a thunder gorget on your waist. Seems to always follow casts(only casts bindga and breakga) with TP. Uses hell scissors(throat stab effect) until 50%, then replaces it with death scissors for 3k or so. Venom storm gives a poison aura for 1 minute, which'll drop your DD after hell scissors.. cureskin helps if you get if off quickly enough. Gave Atma of the Scorpion Queen.

Dahak NM dropped nothing, gave Bloodied Dragon Ear and Atma of the Crimson Scale.

Roc NM dropped nothing, gave Resplendant Roc Quill and Atma of the Scarlet Wing. Was not quest NM(duh).

Tiger NM randomly melees for like 1200. Triple attacks floored shit fast, though we weren't that well organized. HPed out, taking a break because of broken ???s.
