Monster / Notorious Monster Discussion

[Septimus]

Found where monsters live, status effects and weaponskills, or anything else cool about the new monsters? Talk about it here.

EpicEdit: On the March 10th version update, NMs were added into Wings areas, so instead of making a new thread, we'll talk about them here too. Carry on.

[Eander]

ROM/197/76.dat is where the Pixie model is, for those trying to update the AltanaView lists.

[Lordwafik]

I think any monster that gets added now will be pankrationable or jugpets(lol), since there's no point adding monsters to the game otherwise for expansionless players.

Or maybe they can appear in the present because of the whole "extinction" thing.

How can an extinct monster appear in the present? They'd have to appear in the past only unless there's a way to bring them out.

Anyway, because I'm gonna be at work for the next 9 hours or so , thus losing any chance I had at cheap adaman ingots or angelstones.. :

Several issues concerning the Gigas race have been addressed. This has resulted in a change of graphics and jobs for a section of the Gigas population.

Can anyone check what they did to the gigas in Qufim/Upper delkfutt's tower?

How can an extinct monster appear in the present?

By changing certain events in the past to make them unextinct. Since you just stated why it would be pointless for them to add monsters as expansion only and SE pretty strongly suggested such changes could take place, there's no reason they should be limited to the past.

5 Pixies or Sprite mobs have been added to the npc list of all the main middle lands outdoor areas. My guess is that they are what SE spoke of when talking about mobs that can be affected by the past. I think that players will be able to bottle Pixies/Sprites which are endangered in the past and targeted by the beastmen. Then they release them at the special spring refuge mentioned at fanfest. Thus saving them from extinction in the future making them appear in present zones. Other than that there's the Mouse and Rat npcs for the New Years event later.

you probably missed it in updates note, but it will probably explain pixie and other mobs.

[Repercussions in the Present]
The actions and conduct of players in the past will come to have a direct role in influencing the trajectory that Vana’diel takes into the present. One such example is the dispersal patterns of monsters and beasts.

Dunno on other server, but I logged first on ifrit and everything was gone within 20sec. I managed to grabs 2 (of the 3) stack of rainbow clothes by the time everything was gone. Only gem up stayed about 20sec, and all 10 adaman were bought by the same person in 5sec. You probably had better chance claimming an NM than grabbing item off AH.

[Rocl]

There are Pixies in the .DATs for various zones including:

East/West Ronfaure, North/South Gustaberg, East/West Sarubaruta, Konschtat Highlands/La Theine Plateau/Valkurm Dunes:
Pixie (5)

Jugner Forest, Batallia Downs, Rolanberry Fields, Pashow Marshlands, Meriphataud Mountains, Saromugue Champaign:
Sprite (5)

[Rocl]

Shadowreign Zones of Interest:
There appears to be 1 Sandworm in every zone, as are all the NPC Armies and the NPCs from Headhunting. (The armies and headhunting NPCs are in the cities too) Interesting to note, Choh Moui has 8 chigoes after her name in every zone so far.

Oh, and there's some form of Pixie in every zone too >.>

Also, every zone has the same mobs as the past (though some are higher tier):

East Ronfaure [S] has Colibri and Ladybugs. Also, Goblin's Ladybug- so maybe they're charmable! Flytraps and Djinns too.

West Sarutabaruta [S] has Rafflesia, Dhalmel, Lycopodium. Also, Poroggo Gents and Toads! The armies in this zone confuse me, either the Yagudo or the Tarutaru name their troops after Zodiac symbols.

North Gustaberg [S] has Coppercaps. I think they're funguars? or something >_> WAIT- I just found Lesser Wivres, oh my god rofl.

Pashow Marshlands [S] Peistes, Ruby Quadav(!), Lou Carcolh (wtf), and Electrumcaps (Funguar?).

Meriphataud Mountains [S] has Lynxes, Lycopodium, Rafflesia, Gnats, and Scolopendrids (wtf?).

Jugner Forest [S]: Smilodon, Gnoles, Biddybug (next tier of Ladybug?), Flytraps, Djinn, and Lobison (idk).

Batallia Downs [S]: Smilodon, Lycopodium, Djinn, and Gnole.

Saromugue Champaign [S]: Lycopodium, Gnat, and Lnyxes.

Rolanberry Fields [S]: Lycopodium, Chigoes (oh god), Coppercap, and Slugs.

Crawler's Nest [S]: The only difference here is everything is a higher version of the mob, and it's got Quadavs in it. (Like Processionaires have replaced most of the crawlers)

Garlaige Citadel [S]: Like Crawler's Nest, all mobs went up a few tiers, and the Yagudo moved in. Scolopendrids are there too.

Eldieme Necropolis [S]: Same as the other two, all mobs are tougher and the Orcs are inside. Smilodons are there as well.




Since these zones have no present day counterpart I'm going to list all the mobs in the zone:

Grauberg [S]: Lizards, Worms, Saplings, Treants, Chigoe, Wivres, HIPPOGRYPHS, and Ajattara (?).

Fort Karugo-Narugo: Bunnies, Saplings, Lycopodum, Rafflesia, Bees, Gnats, Goblins, Lizards, and Crows.

Vunkerl Inlet [S]: Leeches, Crabs, Smilodon, Bugard, Djinn, Gigas, Sapling, Marabou (?), Goblins, Pugils, Treants, Orcs, Chigoes, and Beetles.

Everbloom Hollow: Full of Orcs.

Ghoyu's Reverie: Full of Yagudos.

Ruhotz Silvermines: Full of Quadavs.

The following zones exist but are empty:
Beadeaux [S], Beaucedine Glacier [S], Castle Zvahl Baileys [S], Castle Zvahl Keep [S], La Vaule [S], Oztroja Castle [S], Throne Room [S], and Walk of Echoes.

Xarcabard [S] is very interesting, it appears to be full of Beastmen NMs and the Generals of the Allied Forces of Altana.

[LD]

Not that I'm complaining, but that's more mob recycling than I expected. Gunna be nice to actually fight some of them outside of the one or two zones they currently occupy. With this many more Wivre, they might finally give BLU one of their moves. :x

[fantasticdan]

Looks like next batch of blu spells is not coming until next year, unless they are keeping them hidden until the expansion is activated, but I doubt that.

[Rocl]

There, that's every zone I could find

[Remyo]

looks liek good alternate lvling areas?

[chesh]

Google says "scolopendrid" is a centipede.

I think there was some terrifying many-legged buglike thing in one of the previews, but I have been waiting for the WotG site to load for at least ten minutes now, so I give up on trying to actually find it for you.

Edit: Fucking thing finally loaded, looks like I was thinking of Peistes. God, I hope there's nothing centipede like, as if antlions and spiders in this game weren't enough to give me fucking nightmares.

[Remyo]

marabou is a stork irl, so yea it'll be a bird of a sort.


I believe you found an NM slug there rocl.

No there are several Lou Carcolh, so it's a normal slug.
