    Diorite changes?

    Has anyone farmed Diorite since the update? The update notes metnioned a change to the mobs that "iorite" drops from, but I was unsure if it was possibly "iolite" or "diorite." I saw a link on lolAlla to this translation of the Japanese update notes, which has convinced me that they did in fact mean "diorite."

    I'm figuring they made it so that you cannot farm diorite while camping Zip, but I'd love to be able to confirm that. Anyone have any luck with Enkidus since the patch?

    The typo is fixed: http://www.playonline.com/pcd/update/ff ... etail.html

    For me, the sky LS I'm in tried farming for them in Ve'Lugannon, 3 PTs in different locations, for an hour, 1 THF with TH4, no drop.

    8 member alliance. Tried farming Enkidus for around 1.5 hour. No TH though. No drop.
    Doesn't mean much, but who knows.

    Re: Diorite changes?

    LS member of mine said that they don't drop Diorite anymore. I haven't gone to test it myself but I tend to believe him.

    First thing that crossed my mind was "Why would they do something so stupid?" Then I remembered who we're talking about.

    If they moved them from enkidus to nexus golems it wasn't that bad of a change unless people farm diorite constantly on your server. I always liked doing circle golems for merit way back when >.>

    Re: Diorite changes?

    It's not stupid, it makes sense <_<

    Why would different non-AuraStatues mobs called Enkidus which deal with a different NM (Zipacna compared to Ulli) drop an item for the other NM? Nexus Statues should have dropped them isntead of Enkidus since the start.

    I'm pretty sure we got one there after the update, I remember asking if the drop had changed because I had read that in the update but then we got one I think.

    Re: Diorite changes?

    Well we constantly have an army of RMT at Enkidu.. most of teh time we just steal their mobs from them if they go unclaimed (like a link). Moving them from one zone to another really isnt going to help.. They should just make both drop to spread out the RMT or something. But then again that gives teh RMT 2 places to monopolize

    I don't really mind the RMT at Enkidu's or even in the Ulli pop room. While mildly annoying it's still leaps and bounds better then it was previously.

    Despot is becoming the new "annoyance" because of mulitple shells camping on top of each other regardless of how long 1 shell has been there or not.

    Fortunately that has the simple solution of pulling Golems and Calling For help on them when they start Meltdown. A few boom booms later and people tend to get the hint. \:D/

    Pretty sure that doesn't do anything if they don't have hate on the mob.

    Don't pass it off as something you do then. You got my BST MPK hopes up.

    If they are spamming for claim at a cove and said CFH mob is in front of them... they'll probably end up with some hate.
