Abyssea - Altepa

[Aerynlia]

We procced red on all the NMs I posted on last night, so you can assume the ones I didn't mention an atma for do not have one.

[Hitoseijuro]

Off the top of my head Cards of Ardor are use +2 MNK and SCH
Jewel of Ardor DNC

Any proof? or going by speculation? Just asking because jewel of wieldance is for +2 hands, So I wanted to know if coin or jewel of Ardor is for body so I can spam

*edit* NVM, I confirmed with moogle.

The reason I asked was just a coincidence that we went 1/1 on T3 VNM atma so I figured maybe they made it a little easier and upped the rates on atma without. Yes, I know there's a small chance to get it without red, but 1/1 just stood out a little bit.

Ouzelum is the roaming Roc NM. Absorbs melee during WS. Saw Aero IV, Aero V, Fire V, Silencega, Addle-ga.

Drops were: Kogara, 3rd Echelon Trophy, and Atma of the Scarlet Wing.

[Aerynlia]

Chickcharney is the Cockatrice pop NM. Sound Vacuum is mute. Contagion Transfer steals all of your buffs. Not very difficult.

Drops were PLD hands, RDM hands x2. Didn't proc red.

Edit: Procced red, no key items. Also dropped Skald Breloque.

[seia]

Killed Sharabha, Kirin skinned skinned Manticore. Dropped Keen Ring, Sharabha hide, DRK hands and NIN hands.
Also killed ladybug NM (can't remember name) - dropped DRG and SCH hand seals.
We also went ahead and got to 100% control in Dominion (getting all Dominion Ops to 100%) - the only discernible effect this had was popping the ???s for doll, cockatrice, ladybug and manticore.
Seemed each nm kill got us 3-9% on NM list - speculated you get 3% base + 2% for each different color you trigger.

EDIT: Also got Emerald Abyssite of Soujourn. Pretty sure it was from the Puk NM but not 100% on that.

Both Battlerigged and Long-Barreled Chariot are soloable as RDM/NIN by kiting them to Conflux 04, and pinning them around the nearby downed ruins. The chariots deaggro, and thus will allow you time to nuke before needing to kite again. Keep Poison II and Bio II applied to avoid regen during unclaimed periods.

Long-Barreled Chariot does have the ability to use Homing Missile, seemingly independent of TP. The Chariot would regularly use Homing Missile immediately upon claiming (usually claimed with a nuke shortly after deaggroing). The range on Homing Missle is 20 yalms, and you can easily out-run the TP move by simply placing yourself far enough before you nuke, resulting in a "Player is out of range." message.

Ansherekh is the Smilodon NM. Casts fire based spells. Hits pretty hard but wasn't exceptionally difficult. Never did Disorientating Wail.

Drops were 5th Echelon Trophy, Furor Cesti, Tiger King's Hide.

Like to add to his drop list, that Ansherekh also drops Cor earring

[Tambor]

Long Barreled Chariot can drop Orison Earring

[Hitoseijuro]

Does the scorp have any extra movement speed?

Didnt seem to be too fast, I pulled him from scorp camp all the way down to tiger camp, never really caught up with me with 12% so I would assume he doesnt.

[Salmijr]

Anyone find the ingredient for the quest, "the secret ingredient" yet? I tried the obvious lufet salt, some rock salt, even HQ rock salt, nothing. Tryint to cap fame in all zones early.

[Amedia]

in dats

Badlands Salt
A flavorful salt found in the shell of a desert-dwelling crab.

So guessing Crabs will pop in altep eventually if not already.

[Xerlic]

More info on the scorpion. Before 50%, he seemed to always follow Bindga with Hell Scissors which, as someone posted before, is similar to Throat Stab. If you stun it, he won't try it again so that's easy enough. Also, if Bindga is resisted, he will not do Hell Scissors.

After 50%, he always seemed to followup Bindga with Death Scissors instead. If you stun Bindga, he will not attempt to do the TP move. Also, our MNK was saying that he will keep doing Death Scissors until it lands. IE he spams it until it hits.

[Hanyoko]

What is the name of the T1 / T2 / T3 VNM for this zone?

[EvilTheCat]

Got 3 PUP hand seals, 1 WHM and BRD body seal from tiger Dominion

[Amedia]

Ironclad Smiter needs smoldering arm and tabilla mercury to pop at detectors. Guessing for new brd and shield Empyreals.

[Sumiko]
