The catch em all thread...

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

How does that even work? Ahahaha

Well the golem attacks slow and the detector has like no delay so it just spams hit it and brought it down quickly. I think a detector with like an added effect hit + attack speed up would rape face.

Much like a Slime owned a Corse.

What is the difference between fire attack bonus and Fire Attack+15% exactly?

Actually this is something I'm curious about. All mobs seem to take the same sort of damage, slimes don't take noticably less then any other mobs (and Qutrub's don't take noticably more, though they seem to have significantly higher HP). Anyone else noticed this or am I just imagining things? Crabs have impressed me defence-wise, I saw one only taking 1-10 damage per hit with Def Boost up, it slowly wittled down it's opponent whilst taking hardly any damage.

In case it wasnt posted, you can get the same plate kind twice from the same mob (read: i got Ice Attack Bonus x 2) from an Ice Elemental.

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

Empty

My master plan was to get a Seether and use it's 25-shadow TP move as my ticket to fun.

now I'm thinking of getting a Shadow, They only uses 1 TP move, so you have that level of reliability instead of saying 'aww nuts, it used bubbleshower/snatch morsel/a useless move'

evasion bonus + evasion +15% wut

[Eaglestrike]

Anyone notice, or just have alternative theories, about skilling up abilities? My Roc doesn't learn anything atm, I have Main job Thief, Thief traits and evasion+15%. But I'm thinking of putting Evasion Bonus on it. I'd guess that my evasion bonus ability would get exp and skill up over time. And my assumption is that it eventually becomes > evasion+15% if it isn't as a base. Any ideas on this? Does skill ups on any other abilities have a noticeable effect for anyone? Maybe it's too early to tell since for me it's nearly an hour wait (and this latest fight is an 87min wait lol) but just hoping to figure things out.

My current plan:
Roc
Thief/Monk
Evasion+15%

And with thf/mnk traits I'll have triple attack, evasion bonus, max hp and counter(guard? lol). But I'm unsure how strong and what the traits do. I also haven't even found a SJ:Mnk plate to see if my Roc can be it.

Last I checked there's a mandy owning the hell out of mobs on Shiva. It takes 0 damage per hit often and does 60-90 damage per swing with two swings per round.

I might re-try my slime idea with an Instant Dread Spikes scroll, but we'll see how that goes. Currently my roc is THF/RDM (Roc's start as WAR/RDM lol) and I didn't get any extra FP when I went from 6 to 7, so dunno if it's just 10+ to get 1FP/level or if it's 1FP every two levels or something.

What I'd eventually like to see is a list of max FP per mob type, but I think it'll take a while to get that.

Also, my slime took a good bit less damage than other mobs (I started off in Diablo not knowing it was tournament) but they nerfed the hell out of its attack and low level slimes only use Digest, which is an unresisted 9 damage (dark based) so it was pretty shitty. With dex+25 and paralyzing attack (which I never saw activate) it got owned by a level 7 Ameratet at level 7, Ameratat had the default name so might not have even had extra abilities. But it was 40% hp left when my slime died.

[Delekii]

yeah, low level slime are really, really weak. dont take much damage comparatively, but dish out even less.

regarding main and sub job, can you not get both from any relevent job mob? I used about 18 shots on a low lvl war quadav and only got main job and abilities, never sub...

[Falisa]

Theres a black mandy in the tournament that kills pretty much any mob that comes into the cage in one shot on Fenrir. Last I knew it was level 18 and I havent been to the colosseum for about an hour now so who knows now.

[Marcicus]

Mnk/War Molech how I love you so.

[colombianita]

I got resistant defense bonus off an Ice element in sky, I add it to my wivre wich came with 15+attack, It's rocking currently level 11 still cant use comands he just go and pwns

Next level i think i may be able to add haste+15 i got off a thf gobler in biki coz it is damn slow!

[Priran]

Landed 10 out of 12 shots in besieged by walking up to the mob and taking the shot face-to-face.

[BRP]

What WSes will my Wamoura do? Worth putting Fire+15% on it?

Dread Spikes are from Lamia Idolater by Dvucca for those curious (don't know where else it drops though)

Can't really say much about this as I'm on my first pet still (<3 Penguin's), but FP goes up as you level (very slowly however), I'm not sure if FP is randomly assigned or each species has a set start point, if it's the latter penguins have an awesome amount of FP. 8)

Also, my slime took a good bit less damage than other mobs (I started off in Diablo not knowing it was tournament) but they nerfed the hell out of its attack and low level slimes only use Digest, which is an unresisted 9 damage (dark based) so it was pretty shitty.

Yeah they get access to new moves as they level. My Penguin used Yawn only until it got to level 13, now it uses Beak Lunge, I've only seen it use Yawn twice since and both times it was on a Marid readying Onrush (in which case it was slept before Onrush went off).

Mnk/War Molech how I love you so.

You just give it a war subjob and monk job traits?
