The catch em all thread...

Where do you get the instant dread spikes? seems kinda broken

Friend said Corse, I haven't seen it personally so can't confirm.

Okay, so FP is what again? My Skoffin has 38. Dread Spikes comes from Qutrub.

FP is basically how much abilities/traits you can equip. If you have 38 and (just for example) Double Attack +15% was 15 FP, equipping it would put your Skoffin at 15/38 FP. If you then wanted to equip Triple Attack+15% (30 FP) you wouldn't be able to as it would put you at 45/38 FP.

Those FP numbers were just made up, DA and TA aren't that cheap FP-wise. You can also remove FP abilities if you want to use your points for different things.

It'll probably start higher level though.

I don't think you can start higher than 9

Feel free to prove me wrong though >_> it's just the highest I've seen and I've been skimming the majority of this thread

In that case does it really matter what type of mob you get as long as its from the same family?

Sabotender:
<Auto Regen> (FP 47)
<Accuracy Bonus> (FP 30)

Don't think so, you could go grab a bee from South Gustaberg and it could potentially start out stronger then the exact same type ones in Wajaom Woodlands.

I might go for Wamoura or Wivre, and make it THF/NIN or NIN/THF with ninjutsu scrolls so it can blink tank. Or, WAR/NIN with Ninjutsu and WAR Job Traits. But I'm unsure of how the whole job system works.

Wamouras can't be thieves. It turned down my Main Job: Thief.

[Priran]

The first one looks pretty good but that's a lot of FP unless it's really noticeable.

FP is Feral Points. Your pet mosters will have a certain (apparently randomly selected at their creation) amount of FP that you can use to add traits to them from other Soul Plates. When you make a Soul Reflector out of a Soul Plate there is a chance that your new monster will inherit the trait on it for "free." They're like Blue Mage spell points more or less. The amount of FP apparently increases as the monster levels.

Damn, TP drain could be nice but mob TP seems very random in there. I've had my mob use a TP attack after the first set of swings and sometimes never WS at all.

Ding 14, just absolutely abused a level 9 Wyvern, each hit was taking off a good 5-10% and my last attack round I triple attacked for 4 swings, last one being a crit which did over double his normal damage.

[Khamsin]

So, can the following be used as a base mob:

Empty
MRs
Hpemde
Xzomits

?

I haven't seen these mentioned yet.

[evilpaul]

I couldn't use a Craver when I tried. Carousel spam would have been great.

No, just abilities/traits off all of them.

Got a couple off of Arrapago 6f Chariot:

Light Attack +15% FP:12
Double Attack Rate +15% FP:30

Doesn't the whole camera business remind you of this game?

Are you having an easier time controlling your mob once it levels up?

watching a detector own a golem is probably one of the funniest things I've seen on FFXI.

Before it would just completely ignore me, now it says in the chat log "Howling Fist (pets name) seems to be following your orders.". All I've been doing is choosing "Show no mercy!" as he enters the arena now and leaving him to it. I can't really see much strategy to this other then just leveling up and buffing your mob with plates, but yes the mob does listen to commands more once you've leveled a little (started obeying at level 12), I just haven't bothered to play around with them.

Anyone check zone .dats to see if any text in for the soul reflector NPC being able to craft items for HNM types? SE said we could use Behemoth..so..yeah. There has to be something. It would be pretty stupid of them to implement a no-hnm thing after specifically saying we could use a certain monster type...

How does that even work? Ahahaha
