A group that camps the Al Zahbi -> Nashmau ferry should have no trouble. I've seen him three times on the same (realtime) day, just randomly riding the ship. Given, he ate most of the passengers, but that's what you get for sitting out in the open without GM invincibility up.

Proteus is true sound is he not?

Unless he ignored me, I dashed by him with Sneak up and did not become a Taru Snack. Considering he ate everyone else, I may have been lucky...but admittedly I've only been inside melee range with Proteus the one trip (twice, because someone decided to run up to me with Proteus in tow and die with him in front of my nose after I left the initial spawn area.).

Now that the cat is out of the bag on Lamia 19, I'll give some details that my LS discovered in helping me kill this thing:

1) It normally pops around G-9 or G-10 or F-9 or F-10. Once you cross the boat there are some Imps around there and she seems to pop there often.

2) Through my trials, usually you can get the message anywhere in the zone if she can pop (or so it seems), but you will get the message consistently when you are close to where she can pop... and obviously she will pop 100% of the time if you are in the right area. Some of us believe that she is sorta like the Ying-Yang robe NM. She's just there roaming around and if you die near her she will just pop on you. Who knows though?

3) The window is definitely less than 18-24, but I'm not sure what it is.

4) You can kill this easily with a party of 6. You can kill it with a party of 4 even if you have a good RDM and WHM. A Nin tank can solo kill Lamia 19 while the others are doing other things. The hard part is the skeletons (there are 2 of them and they hit for around 200 to 300 damage non-crit). The skeletons can be bound and gravitied. A good redmage can kite them both (with a WHM helping to cure/kite). Else you can have 2 pseudo-tanks to hold the skeletons.

If anyone has any other questions, I'll be glad to try to answer them.

Congrats on all those who got the mace. I was lucky to get the drop after only 3 kills. I'm slightly disappointed with is as it seems to not increase my Cure V as much as I'd hoped. My Cure III is for 250 and my Cure IV is for 502 (with nin sub). So it's not that bad. It was definitely handy for taking down Hydra.

Every time we've killed her, we've popped her at E-11 by the gate that requires a Lamia Fang Key. That little cove is completely clear and makes it easy to kite. Fighting there also allows you to avoid the imps completely pretty easily.

I believe that she can pop anywhere on the coast line between E-11 and F-9, and perhaps even in the areas off the map south of there. When her pop window is open, it seems like each death has about a 50% chance of causing the message to appear. If you're in the right area when the message appears, she will pop. I don't think she wanders or anything like that ... I think you just have to be within the radius (a rather large radius) of a certain point.

By the way, her skeletons don't repop when they die, and she is a caster so she usually doesn't melee at all if you stand out of melee range ... it makes it pretty easy to hold her as long as you have someone that can stun -ga 3. We just killed the skeletons then finished her last because she was easier to hold than the skeletons.

It would probably only take about 20 minutes to get to her, pop her, and kill her if you enter from the Ilrusi Atoll staging point ... though I don't know about how long it really takes for sure though because we always got distracted by Merrow No.5, Lamie No.7, and killing each other constantly while charmed (on the other two NMs ... Lamia No.19 doesn't seem to have a charm ability).

Has anyone found anything out about the Qiririn Collar NM yet ??
I just noticed one up on AH, so I can try to run around Aydeewa to see if I can get an approximative location of the NM using NPC.exe (QUICK FRAPS THIS POST OF MINE AND USE THIS AS LEVERAGE AS ME BEING A BOTTER).

you see the square under the 7 ??
The lower left corner is where it was killed.

[Ghostface]

Awesome thanks. I've tried killing all the Qiqirn around there before but looks like it's time to try it again.

[Local]

So i went there minutes after reading about where you had found it. Low and behold one of the top JP linkshells on my server was already there camping it.
Their sole purpose is to camp all the new NMs and sell their drops for outrageous prices. They were the first one to kill the Colibri NM and wanted about 8 mil for the earring. (its now down to 900k)

Seamus can you confirm the POS where he spawns?

[Tarusquee]

Our ninja got lamia 19 to pop again about 2hrs after we killed it when he mijin gakured by the imps.

Owned homo, should have taken me

[Ghostface]

There's 6 Archaeologists and 2 Mosstroopers spread throughout the approximate area where Nynja posted and I've been killing them all for the last 5 hours with no pop. Seamus PM me some details or something.

[Local]

Been here for 2 hours as well with no pop. Im wondering if he doesnt even pop anywhere near the square on the map and he just died at the bottom because thats where he ran to.

[Ghostface]

That spot on the map where Nynja found him is also where Seamus is fighting him in the screens if I'm standing in the right spot. It's starting to feel like if you clear every Qiqirn on the map before any repops maybe he'll pop or something IDK I'm getting tired.

edit~ Just popped. We killed it with 4 (NIN RNG MNK RDM) and had 3 links. His shots hit me for about 170 DMG. Only dropped that Peacemaker. Popped right where Nynja said and where Seamus' SS is.

[Jaffar]

bah, tough luck on the drops gf.. I was zzzzz - now, wonder what his respawn time is.

[Jaffar]

Ghost & I went back after him after work & he popped after killing 2 rounds of the thf & 2rng:
