Monster Job Question (Diremite)

[Schalaa]

Now, I've been trying different types of monsters since the release of Pankration. I've tried Orobon, Qutrub, Buffalo, Antlions, and most recent obsession has been Diremite.

Dunno why, maybe because they're so wonderfully creepy. However, on to the reason for this post...

Since becoming obsessed with Diremite training, I've looked all over the internets looking for information regarding them. I stumbled across this page on FFXIclopedia the other night, (which seems to be down now? haven't checked up on info as to its condition) regarding Feral Skills, and there was a table with each of the different jobs available to monster families... On that table, included saying Diremites have the ability, either in-born, or changeable, to be MNKs. Every diremite I've found (and I've only -not- tested two types, the Dynamis Diremite, and Gyre-Carlin, an elusive NM in Pso'Xja). All, and I mean all have been DRK, and refuse Mainjob and Subjob: MNK plates. So, is there actually a MNK Diremite out there, or is the table incorrect. I didn't really know if this was the correct place to ask, but I figured I'd start off here.

Thanks :O

It's probably false. Diremites are rare and I doubt people extensively tested it, nor would it only be on some super rare/random Diremite.

As far as I know, if a mob family refuses a job class plate, it cannot come innate. (not to mention main job and sub job restrictions are the same)

NMs do not follow the same rules as normal mobs in my experiences. both should be easy to get pictures of if you have 3-4 people that could help.

Is there any record of a NM or higher level mob getting an innate job that normally cannot be used with said mob family? I haven't. Usually, if anything, the NM simple grants a specific (already possible) job for free. Am I wrong?

I believe you are correct. NMs start with different main/sub sometimes, but you could change a normal version into those jobs. NMs just save you those FP.

Pasuk = DRK.
Gyre-Carlin = ??? Can't seem to find, after several hours of killing Diremites.

But basically judging by this response, I'm going to point to 'No MNK for you' for Diremite. Time to experiment with another type :O

Ancient Goobbue isn't a MNK when you try and make his card into a pet.

In context of the discussion here, Goobbue (family) can be set to MNK. The Waughroon Kid (Goobbue BCNM) is MNK/WAR default when turned into a Soul Reflector. I don't know why anyone thought a NM plate would grant their pet with an innate main/sub job that was something other than a trait that mob family can even equip.

I have a NIN Diremite with WAR sub. It came with +25 AGI and i gave it +15% EVA. Needs more FP so i can give it the +15% Crit attacks, and i wish i could fins a THF sub plate somewhere

Ah, thank you for clearing that up. so NMs cant break the rules just get free job changes that normal mobs can not.
