Monstrosity: Abilities and General Mechanics

[Haunted]

Looks like the price of instincts might be based on jobs you've done the 70 cap on. For myself smn is 5k while the rest are 10k, and a few other friends have noticed jobs they've done maat on are half price. Going to go kill him shortly so will be able to confirm later if someone else hasn't.

[Karbuncle]

I've got Maats cap and Half of mine are about 5k while others are 10k, SMN is 10k and Thats 99 + maat deaders. Pretty sure its based on the Monsters you have leveled up

Possible answers determined so far, in order of appearance:
Aengus > Ternyon > Suibhne
Suibhne > Aengus > Teyrnon.

Well this is false
Tried it on vermy, Suibhne worked for San, tried Aengus for windurst and failed.

I've got Maats cap and Half of mine are about 5k while others are 10k, SMN is 10k and Thats 99 + maat deaders. Pretty sure its based on the Monsters you have leveled up

Your smn one might be a bug. All my chars are rabbit12 only. Vermys whm is 99, never fought maat on it, and its 10k for whm instinct. Cleared 75 cap on bard, and thats at 5k. Nynja has all 15 maat jobs at 5k. Kehhiko's only fought maat on rdm, 5k, everything else 10k.

[Karbuncle]

Thats sad news.

Edit: Playing around as Bee.

Lv. 1 - Sharp Sting (100TP)
Lv. 10 - Pollen. (150TP)
* At level 11, Cured 69HP
** At level 15, Cured 98HP

level 15 right now, Seems Bee is WAR/WAR. Unlocked a new Bee at level 15 similar to other base Monsters.

Black/Red Bee is a RDM. At 15, my Cure II was curing 164 HP ;o

[Vanderleest]

Bee at 30 gets Frenzy Pollen, and unlocks the fly.

Does it get an instinct?

[Kaisha]

Gathering the third starting item (stupid lizards) before I'm returning to the starting NPC, was wondering if each mob had their own level caps, or if everything is free to go to whatever the current cap is?

Probably going to start with hare here.

[Khiinroye]

The update notes say the cap is 99.

Most jobs are 5k for me, a few like GEO, DNC, RUN, and 1 or 2 more are 10k.

[Haunted]

Just killed Maat on bst, price dropped from 10k->5k, so looks like that confirms it.

[Karbuncle]

I guess i'll double check mine but I have maats cap and i swear SMN showed up as 10k..

[Rocl]

Er, sorry, I missed some posts apparently.

That'd make sense since I only ever did RDM Maat and just recently the GEO/RUN quests.

[Haunted]

Just killed Maat on war too, now thats 5k also, so looks like thats definitely it

edit: to avoid spamming, killed him on mnk, 5k etcetc

[Kaisha]

Finally, a way to track Maat kills in FFXI.

Spoiler: show

Lack of engage/disengage animation is amazing

This event is going to be horrible for my OCD, taking all those mobs up to level...

[dasva]

Those three things you listed come from this upcoming Log-in Campaign.

Also think it mentioned you could get from more edification from the fertilizer npc?

[Rocl]

The fact you make the "aggro" noise of the monster when you engage is enough for me

[Karbuncle]

Theres an Engage/Disengaged(Idle) Position. Noise is just icing on the cake :O

[fantasticdan]

Level 30 lizard unlocked (blue box) bugard, and lizard instinct 1: hp+1% vit+5 def+20, cost: 2.

[jimbobsonofgod]

Tiger is amazing.

[Khiinroye]

T > A > S was my order to unlock bees.

[Karbuncle]

It was mentioned at level 30 Bee gets "Frenzy Pollen".

It does in fact grant Hundred Fists... Seems to last about 10-15 Seconds though.
