@FFXI_JP ドラグアとアペデマクの五行素材やエンピ素材が0の場合があります。オルトロスやアルファルドは経験した中で1以上は確実に出ていました。特にドラグアの土行の絵札は、他の五行素材はそれぞれ対応したNMで1～3出るものですが、土行の絵札は100%出るNMがいません。

@monako660 ご報告ありがとうございます。早速、修正検討します。

Google translate seems to agree, but yeah, its an internet translator. So that means this could be COMPLETELY OFF.

[Byrthnoth]

Blue, normal, 100% drop for:
Pantokrator - Zelus Tiara (Blue?), Torero Torque (Normal?), Pan's Horn (100%?)
Apedemak - Phurba (Blue?), Manakfa_Utsu Bead Necklace (100%?)

Did I do it right?

[Alkimi]

Zelus Tiara doesn't seem like 100%. Only fought once but we triggered blue but just got Torque and Horn.

[Clash Perez]

He's not saying it's 100%, he's saying it's the drop that is added to the pool by getting a blue proc. Pan's Horn would be the 100% drop, according to what he posted.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, what he said.

Pattern seems to be that one drop goes from something like 10-20% with TH to ~60% with TH when you proc Blue. I was implying those items were Phurba (parallel to the GKT in Altepa's Cerb path), and Zelus Tiara (a la Caturae).

The other drop rate options are 100% (Necklace, again parallel to Mantle in Altepa's Cerb path) and "normal", which just seems to be affected by TH to me. The "Normal" drop rate items start at like ~30-50% without TH and go way up with TH.

[Foldypaws]

Apedemak's drop table seems messed up even aside from horns. Fought him 5 times now, always proc'd magic, always a THF, never seen more than 2 jewels (usually only 1), never seen his other +2 drop.

[zard1977]

He can drop 0-3 jewels. Coin drop rate is very low.

just special note for people fighting apademak, i found out a way to dodge lithic breathe as i solo if you fail to stun or if it resist...

right after he manage to cast the spell, do not wait, drop watever ur doing and strafe left or right (lock on and press A or D). If it lvl up, turn to u and use lithic breathe, you will already be at the side of him as he "readies" the move. Yes it is instant but if u just hold on to A or D, you will 100% get out of his breathe(conal) and he will hit nothing and your still unweakened.

hope this helps

Good info, I found the same style works on Sobek Tyrant Tusk (move to the sides) but you have to be on your toes as its kinda fast. Also some sort of semi-pin on that single tree where it is usually fought but its sort of hard to position it properly when solo tanking it. Can't rely on that silly Resist Death Atma as it failed a few times on me...

I fought this only once fight at pop spot 2 tanks whm brd minimum I would say. It your usual non flying wyrm but it has this annoying paralyze aura after using wing move.

[zagex]

The wing move has a > 20' range and paralyzes you. After the wing move he has an additional smaller paralyze aura. As Whm, I was using an anti-paralyze atma which, combined with barparalyze and barblizzara helped make the wing move less annoying for me. I'd suggest getting Shaula's atma for your mage, though the others should work fine. It's not necessary, but it makes it go smoother.

[Darkmagi]

Various DD whm combos can duo with relative ease.

[Mojo]

NIN or MNK, WHM works fine for Isgebind although I suggest bringing a stunner to stun ga spells as well. You can position your mages to be up higher on the hill in the area you pop it in so that they don't get hit by wing or aura. When it uses hate reset, the tank can get it back and then immediately reposition.

I thought they removed the benefit of vertical distance.

[Odin'sLaw]

I thought they removed the benefit of vertical distance.

everyone seem's to believe this but higher area's still seem to work so fighting Khim on the lower level then mages by the #7 flux avoid AoE damaga

[Jeryhn]

I thought they removed the benefit of vertical distance.

No. They simply extended the vertical range of area of effect abilities to prevent abuse of things like Ironclad normal attacks on cliff edges.

An easy way to tell if a mage is in or out of vertical range: Cast a Barspellra. If it hits your melee, you're in attack range.

yea, i would say tyrant and lithic is the same cos they use instantly but lithic is alot easier to pre-emp because if you fail/resist a stun, there is a 50% chance it lvl up and turn around to use fulm/breathe

so lithic is alot easier to anticipate ^^

Anyone have any insight on Benumbed Vodriga in Abyssea-Ulegrande? Wiki doesn't seem to have any information on it. Mainly wanted to know how soloable it is. I'm assuming THF or RDM would be the best to solo with if it's possible out of my jobs (RDM THF SAM BRD PLD DRK SMN). Along with that question, I was wondering how difficult blanga solo would be.
