Almighty Apkallu

[Stilgar]

This thread owns.

I've never seen Almighty, but then I've never ridden Nashmau > Whitegate, either. Does anyone but fishermen take it that way?

drops that nice PLD sword.

I was dead right after haste, and just before Pro V landed.

It was epic.

Someone needs to capture one of those tentacle-rapes and YTMND as "Epic monster battle".

Take a PT to fight Proteus, and get a PLD tank. The thing multihits shadows off Ninjas like a monk on crack. He did show up at least once-twice every RL day when I was riding around- I spent a few days sailing back and forth skilling up some really crappy sword, club, and dagger skills around 62-63 RDM (yes, I leveled soloing on the ship. That much soloing), helping BLU's learn Frenetic Rip, and seeing how pissed I could get the Apkallu. I think the most times I spotted him in a given day was three- so my guess is Proteus shows up at least four times a day, though when seems to be relatively random.

For some reason, I never had the same luck spotting Almighty Apkallu, but IIRC that's because the Nashmau -> Whitegate boat doesn't have people stomping every spawn that shows up in seconds. Indeed, a lot of people never ride the ship to begin with.

Does it even matter if you kill the random crap that pops on the boat? Can't you just wait for Almighty Apkallu to pop next to the crab and imp?

Since I've seen random monsters pop in the same spots as Proteus does, I'd say killing them is a plan. Proteus can spawn at any point on a trip- I've seen it show up with 45 seconds to go, I've seen it popped the second the ferry loaded up. Mobs can also despawn on the boat, if left alone. My guess- Proteus is therefore a lottery spawn from anything on deck. Anyone who has a chance in hell of killing Proteus should wipe the floor with the random spawns anyway.

Proteus spawned and some 57WAR voked it the second he saw it. It agg'd my BLU friend and took down my Carby in like 5 seconds. Hilarity ensues.

Sorry for the bump but has ANYONE found out anything about this? I've camped this like 20 hours total and I've never even seen it pop, I've taken 35-40+ trips from nashmau to whitegate (I lost count). Is it 21-24 hour? I don't see why it'd be so hard to pop. I've looked at jp sites, they don't have any information either. I'm stumped.

Isn't it on the boat from Whitegate to Mhaura?

[Zetah]

No.

Hmm, maybe we have to trade a NQ Apkallu a Goblin Drink to spawn AA

This sword would be extremely nice for any Paladin, even as an off-hand weapon.

It looks really nice too. Screenshot on KI I haven't seen one yet on Bismarck.

Wow, that looks bad ass.

Mambo maybe? Works pretty well on some other multi-hit nm's.
