Can rare mobs spawn multiple times?

I've been farming/grinding in the mines below Bhujerba the past two nights, and there is a red bat that has spawned about 3 times already (Aleerin maybe?). I haven't stolen anything from it yet, and no notable drops yet.

I have killed two other rares in Westersand (a cockatrice with a name starting with a N I think, and Fel-whatever, the skeleton out there). I did not steal anything or get good drops from them. But I am wondering if they will respawn again under any circumstances.

later at some point you will get access to being able to spawn 30 new Rare Game monsters, these will give you trophies when you kill them. However, these will only spawn once.

the others will respawn

newb question:
how do i decrease resist rates on enfeebles and make them land reliably?

do i just increase magic attack power by equiping mage armors? the technick shear i think also helps reduce resists.. but it doesnt work all the time D;

[safer]

yes they do

also.. say you have 0 quickenings, but unlock an esper that requires 3 mist charges to summon... once you get that summon, you'll have 3 mist charges, effectively tripling your mp in the process just like quickenings

hope that answers your question

uhhhhh no

im quoting the brady guide on this one... so far they've been pretty accurate in their information.. dont have reason to believe otherwise

Is it getting to a particular point in the storyline, or is there some event indicating the new prey is released?

have to have gone through Sochen, then go back to the Phon Coast camp and talk to a bangaa by the beach (pretty far west from the gate crystal). He will tell you more about Rare Game and then tell you about trophies etc.
that's when the new ones are available

yeah i had trouble finding it since it was different compared to JP version...

anyway from the gate crystal go north a bit then west and look for a guy sitting down, he's called "Man that Fell from the Sky" or something about falling lol. anyway the key is next to him

Thanks man you rock .... can we give Helpoemer a title for the forums

[Coldone]

yes they do

Actually what it will do is open up the slots for the quickenings to unlock.. but you won't get the mist charges til you actually unlock the quickenings.

I have a question regarding the Lhusu Mines

I am currently running back and forth between town and the Killer Bow chest. In doing this Vaan and Basch are now level 16 and Baltheir/Fran are 15. I do not want to get too overpowered for later areas to take away from the fun. Should I stop doing this soon and just give up on the Killer Bow or what?
Please advise, thanks.

[Skyylya]

bows suck in comparison to other weapons (i'm not sure why people are arrowburning). You only 'need' a bow later on in the game but you can buy a bow better than killer bow at that point. I wouldn't spend so much time on it.

[Endo]

Got deep into the mines with party lvl at 57 55 55 and Disma pops jesus 5k hp gone with a thundaga what a bish. If your trying to kill mystery man dont go till later much much later

Would you suggest guns and crossbows then, instead?

thats up to you. however i'd take them as high as they can go there if not for the story, at least for the hunts.

[sephir]

question, is it safe to sell things like Leo, Scorpio, Aries gem to the clan bazaar? or will I need to sell them to a different merchant in order to get the final weapons?

[Bkbahamut]

Yeah they drop very very common about halfway into the storyline, they start dropping from everything, all are 150 each, so yeah sell away

Will Behemoth King still be up if I leave the zone to save my game?

I think he will be I did that with the rare in the mines and he was still there to kill me when I came back

[DeadLegend]

Yeah I tested it and if I zoned out for a little bit he'd still be there. Kinda pointless since he'd regen to full but I could at least steal some crap from him repeatedly. I got sidetracked after zoning once and went for something to eat and he was gone when I came back d: so I figure it's a small window, can't keep him popped with a save file.

He was hitting my Lv63 pt for 3-5k damage, much harder than fafnir and he spams high black magic along with slowga and Fafnir's white breath so this fellow seems like a bit of a doosy :/ I got him to around 70% and gave up on it for the time being.
