Notorious Monsters
Apparently the respawns and despawns conditions are the same for all NMs

Respawn 1-2 hours later regardless if killed/depopped.
YG have updated pages with their position, drops etc.

Ninja changes

• The sky looks better, apparently stars move slower than they used to.
• The mobs don't seem to follow you around as much as they used to.

Glitches, Bugs, Issues

• Selling to NPC tends to glitch forcing you to hit the X at the top right to get out. Very annoying for controller users. Fix : Wait longer before clicking sell (lol) Fixed in the second update
• Client crashes when you start it -> Change your sound sample rate to a rate lower than 48kHz Control Panel > Sound > Speakers > Properties > Advanced Fixed in the second update
• Some local leves are broken http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...f7a71b2a230c36 Fixed in the second update

Stuff promised but not added (2nd December Update probably)

I wondered about that since they said in the description that Goblins in this world are mostly crafters/gatherers.

LS mate says repairing an item auto-loads the required material now.

Nice info. Thanks.

[Drakath]

How many you kill Mosshorn with? My group is getting owned

[cyrus]

Fighting buffalo right now, hitting our lvl 50 GLA for 600-700dmg

EDIT: Wiped, and when we came back to take a stab at it again it was de popped...

[Drakath]

Elder Mosshorn and co. just depopped while we weren't engaged. Either had something to do with the time (20:00) or the fact it started raining. Popped at 18-35 in Thanalan. Wiped twice with 6 people 40-50. Has like nearly 10 adds.

Inputting crafting items doesnt take you out of inventory screen so you can spam ingredients all at once, and new animation for a successful synth action

[theonemav]

15 rank 50's took 13 mins for Elder Mosshorn. Blue Garter Rabanastre.

The recipes you got off local guildleves? Would make sense

[Enygma55]

Guessing thats for local leves.

[Reapz]

Text limit is ALOT better, tested it and seems to be 80% increase in how much you can type before it cuts you short

[Sign]

The list is a combination of the last 8 things you made and local leve reward recipes. So if you have turned in some leves recently (before going through 8 unique recipes grinding) then that is where they came from.
