Some Unanswered Sea Trigger Questions

[Ichthyos]

ah. well, you read it correctly, but i have no reason to believe that we would have to wait longer if we let it depop than if we killed it.

[FFXIFlux]

In the last couple days we've gotten 3 vices and 1 deed from Ix'Drg. Thankfully it's dropping 100% at least.

[Pyrena]

We were sea farming one night, and and xp party pop lotto Ix. They said we could have it after they tried and wiped, but we didn't get there in time and it depopped. It showed up again to them not long after that.

You forgot to mention that 2 of those vices came without any form of TH-.-

honestly, I dont care about no homofag summon skill cape. We want the frickin deed.



On that note:
how do you kill ix'drg with a blm setup ?? I know it involves abusing the portals, but Ix loses aggro sometimes (still havent found out why, though it involves the portals), or the aw'aerns just dont stop chasing, resulting in like a 20 aern zergrush. How is it properly done ?? >.>

I just can't believe you people are that lucky with popping DRG. He's been holding our JOL attempts hostage for the past 3-4 weeks, since he simply refuses to appear :(

I've gotten like 70k xp in the past 3 days popping him though :D

In answer to how to kill it with BLM setup, the trick is disbanding party before you even start fighting. It has shared party hate (Darters in Aery type of thing) and if you do anything to it while in party the other people will get hate too. If you step in the port then it will attack other people, and if they step in the port you will all of a sudden have hate again on the other side of the port just from being in the party still. What this results in is the Ix'aern going back and forth between the east and west sides of the port linking a half dozen aerns on the way which also have hate the same way, and they will keep rampaging around killing until there is only one person left alive and when that person steps through the port hate will finally be gone.

Cliffnotes: Disband before you fight and have 1 person keep bio on it and the other people alternate nuking and porting. It doesn't aggro at all so you can all just stand right at the "zone".

So the portals do have an actual zoning effect ??

My LS was under the impression they dont (based on aggroed ghrah's following through the portal).

[aurik]

They count as zoning, but all mobs in Garden have darter-hate. If you're in party with anyone, you "zone" and shed all hate but immediately get back on the hate list since you are in the party with someone who is on the hate list.

[NynJa]

so the party disbands, one person sticks bio on it and zones.

it goes back to its spawn area, then one blm T4's it, and zones. then another blm t4's it and zones. repeat untill dead ?

[aurik]

Yup. Re-sticking dots as necessary.

And Ix'DRG just popped 3 times within 3 hours for us...what is up with this mob :(

It's best not to really let it path back, just keep nuking and zoning while it's in the room with the portal. If you do it right, it won't even get far enough to aggro the aerns in the middle of the room. Have your rdm or whoever is DoT'ing it alternate between Bio II and Poison II. You can't 'refresh' a Bio cast once it's on, and if it wears off while your DoT'er is on the other side and Ix is unaggro, his hp starts going up 10%/tick. Alternate DoT's and one of them will always be on. When it gets under 10% we usually have the blms party up to finish it.

It's insanely easy to kill using this method, I've done it with as little as 3 people (2 blm and a rdm). Only takes 10-15 minutes tops.

[Suiram]

Likening Ru'hmet mobs to 'darter-hate' isn't completely accurate (with the possible exception of Ix'aern DRK and DRG). Darter-hate adds PCs to the hate list, so if you tag a darter and die, they go after your alliance members. I don't think this is the case with DRG PHs, and it definitely isn't the case with ghrahs. If you tag a ghrah and zone it to the portal, it'll despawn, if you tag a ghrah and someone else performs an action on it, it'll follow you through, but that's just portal behavior.

[NynJa]

hasnt popped for us yet
been up here for like 2-2 1/2 hrs now.


But, something good happened. You know that botting LS I always bag on. Some fag from that LS came up to try to fuck up out xp pt, alone. His response to us asking him to leave, "nope, these aerns are IT". Ya ok, so is every other fuckin aern in this place..

Valensia was defeated by the Aw'Aern.

dumb bitch asked for a raise too lol.

[mysticnugget]

How much hp do the Ix'Drg's wynavs have? Do they repop if you kill them? If not, can a few blm just MB them or do u need to blink kite them away?

also, i'm assuming u cant MB the ix'drg and wynavs, but if you can do that, how many blm u think you would need?

[MisterBob]

The Wynavs are retardedly easy to deal with. Have one person grab hate on all 3, then just run into the portal lol. Theyll run all the way through the rooms to get to you, and when they get close, just run back in. Dont bother killing them. The Ix'DRG only has like 15k HP or something retarded like that, and takes damage just like any of the normal IT Aerns, so he goes down nice and fast.

[mysticnugget]

so if rdm got hate on wynav and took off with them, could 4blm & brd MB the NM u think?

[MisterBob]

2 BLM could

[mysticnugget]

lol nice thx
