Escha - Zitah Data

[Draylo]

We did ours with melee, one melee per mob with geo brd whm. Made sure we didn't kill one before the rest were almost dead. The RNG strategy is probably a lot easier, we tried a few runs with PLD and they could hold all three of them w/o troubles.

After 21 22 pops of Nosoi and no Calamitous earring, I'm kinda skeptic it's a "common" drop as wrote in the Nosoi page on BG-wiki.

About Fleestalker (T3 ape) in Zi'tah, which setup did you guys use to solo/lowman? He seems to wreck Trust tanks, even august. The issue is not so much the firaga spam during CS but some sort of physical move he does that oneshots trust Tanks.
Unless there's some way to avoid that through proccing or something, but there's very little information on Wiki (or this thread) about him.

I dunno, I remember he went down fast when I killed him with my LS this summer, but trying to solo/lowman it I'm having issues with trust tanks

SCH. /runs.

Admittedly, I had a backup pocket WHM ready, if an untimely Breakga + Chainspell were to burn my petrified face. Apart from that, Hydrohelix II, run in circles, nuke it when there's an opening to do so. The log at #6 can be used for old school pinning.

I can see Aegis PLD or a standard RUN, a DD/RUN with "enough accuracy", and Trusts work well enough for Fleetstalker, especially if the Trust WHM is smart enough to stay far enough from the PLD.

To give a visual example of what he means... don't even need trusts

Has anyone ever had Surprise! Wrathare run up after killing anything? About a month ago, we were nuking down Behemoth for a friend's clear/Skormoth and an odd message popped up in the chatlog, followed by deathbunny hopping madly in to aggro I think our SCH.

The fight timer was shared with what we had left after Behemoth, plus we were righteously unprepared for it, so we timed out...

Just curious if anyone else has had this happen.

[Skudo]

There's a (very small) chance for another random NM to pop right after killing a Gaea's Fate NM with the timer continuing. I've only had it happen once, after running Pazuzu in circles for 12+ minutes, Wrathare decided to play with me. Unfortunately, I didn't get to kill it in those less than three minutes. ;-(

[dasva]

Yeah they added it in an update awhile back.

Geas Fete has undergone the following additions and adjustments.
•A mechanic has been added that provides a chance for a different notorious monster to spawn in the place of a previous monster that has been defeated.

[Lyramion]

Happened twice to us again when fullclearing Zitah a while back. It's only in that zone, too.

[Seekerstar]

Shows I should pay more attention to update notes.

That said, from all reports, it's only Wrathare who shows up. Had someone else tell me the same thing happened to them, guess I should suck less and just be ready to kill the damn thing regardless of current job.

Fun times.

[dasva]

I've had people say some of the lotto pop ones popping too

[Hoshiku]

I've only seen it once and we also got a Wrathare but I believe it is supposed to be any NM in the zone that can pop next.

[The Assman]

I saw Blazewing and the pixies pop off T2s months ago. Never saw it again so I had assumed they got rid of it until now.

Had Pazuzu (Ig-Aalima mob) pop twice.

Happened 2 times for us.
Once with Wrathare, another time with another lotto NM... the Bugard I think?

Was one of the many stupid choices they made at the beginning with Escha. I'm glad they finally managed to get things right over time, but Escha was pretty much shit at start, if you ask me.

[Seekerstar]

Calling bullshit on the very low chance thing, or Altana hates me...unsure which.

Yesterday, while doing a run of Zi'tah clears, this shit happened twice. First was the three faeries, second was Ted Bunny.

Not amused, SE.

I'm staying out of Zi'tah now, clearly it hates me.

[Lyramion]

Why? It's nothing a reraise doesn't fix. You still get the clear for the first fight.

[dasva]

I've yet to see it at all so I'm still saying low chance.

I've yet to see it at all so I'm still saying low chance.

I've never seen it either, I actually completely forgot they implemented it till it mentioned here.
