forced pop with the KIs off mobs you mentioned, I know Smiter is 100% not sure on chariot ill check when I can.

Edit got it wrong second mob on list is 100%, Archaea, its ???? on Valefor. Smiter is 76%.

Initially Stun works but builds resist, blm damage was awful though and not worth it imo it casts too much to get a clean nuke, took us like 15m to get past 50% mark due to job changing, blm heals and stygian sphere spam. Fudo was horrible, melee hits 1-40 crits for 200, gekkos for 700-1k.

It drops seals, I got blu and rng bodies from it.

Are you getting perfect answers to Chumimi's findings? I believe there are 3 outcomes based on your answer when you report back to her. If you provide the correct answers based on what the npc's say, its 250 Cruor reward, and 150 for incorrect answers. I got mixed up at first, but found the answer to the result of the injuries to be that of the person who was recuperating and not from the person who was wounded by the fiend.

[Not Kuno]

I gave perfect answers.

Fetching Foodpad atma when I did all of Mingo's Dominions.

Look to the Sky gave -martello time abyssite.

[Not Kuno]

Now some ls mates are saying they did mihgo did not give them the atma. It might be related to fame but earlier today it wasn't available and after doing Look to the Sky + Mihgos OPs it appeared.

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

What do those items(or key items, if they are) drop from?

[Rocl]

Going to go out on a limb and assuming the Smoldeirng Arm drops from Bonfires, and the Tablila Mercury drops from Tablila, the Doll NM.

[Chumm]

Any fame tips? Dominion ops don't seem to give fame.

[Baroka]

Anymore info on rani?

[Chumm]

DRG Hands from Ken's quest.

[Uubu]

whats the dominion status of the server that rani popped on?

its not a hard fight till low, 50% meteor starts but it barely did any, lower % the gap between got shorter and back to back in some cases which hurt, got very lucky towards the end. May want to save the stuns for meteor only under 25%. Theres almost 0 chance to die for any competent group till then though the ocassional spell > diabolic Claw was a pain.

tier 2
Ironclad Smiter - 70%
????? (Archaea, Chariot i assume) - 100%

The only 100% we has was the second for ages so its probably linked to that.

not sure what thread is was mentioned Dragua is Ouryu model though not Vrtra.

Edit (shouldn't type as soon as I wake up)

[thetruepandagod]

So basically we need to spam ironclads in all 3 zones awesome... not sure if its already known, haven't read a lot of the dat mining threads.

Currently 9/9 on abyssea zone bosses and the next requirement he says is killing the 6 catuerue he doesn't mention the fact that there are 7 total in the cutscene so it seems as if all you have to do is kill 6 of the 7 cature mobs, still feels like a long way from shinryu though.

edit: it might not count iratham im not sure, there are a cature in each of the 3 new zones right?

[Amedia]

Well there was only 2 new Caturae models right? Looking at Ule thread the mob linked to Iron Giant is Omega Clone, (Is it the Iron giant KI or Iron Giant 100% anyone know). That would leave Grau for 6/6.

[thetruepandagod]

hmm that would make more sense, i wasnt sure at all on 3 new caturae being added just assumed.

[NynJa]

So, perhaps someone can shed some insight to this for me:

How can a mob that hasnt been spawned, that has no intel, be at 100%?

[Juxtaposition]

I would venture a guess to say that the requirements for it to pop (lesser mobs at 100%) are no longer being met, while everyone was spamming the crap out of the NM, getting it to 100%.

How can a mob that hasnt been spawned, that has no intel, be at 100%?

This is entirely speculation based on my last experience:

My group was trying to get Ouzelam to 100% for zone boss yesterday, but after killing a few times and not seeing the ??? pop we ran back to check with the Tactitian, and it was unlisted with a percentage much like that one is. Turns out over maintenance, the regular mob rating had dropped to ~90%. Once we got it back to 100% the name showed up again.

I think that one in your screenshot is the Manticore? It'll tell you the family, anyway. If you check with one of the Ops people and Manticores aren't at 100% yet, that's probably what's causing it.

Because some mobs are spawning before they are "unlocked". Hedjedjet is a T3 and at 100% on our server, and has been up since servers went up. Probably a bug, but /shrug.

[Odin'sLaw]

I did and didn't find anything. Searches for SMN and Caller turned up nothing. That and not everything is being reported. I don't know.

Sorry.
