I know Wivres were mentioned earlier in this post, does anyone have any luck with hide drops in the WoTG zones?

killed about 60-70 Wivres in Grauberg [S] with TH3 still no hide..

[evilpaul]

I got 4 mauls (which won't sell) and one tusk there in about two hours w/o TH....no hides either.

[Kaslo]

Haven't got any hides either... but considering how bad the drop was in AU that doesn't mean anything >.>

[Lonewind]

Which ones did you tried killing the Lessers (N. Gusta [S]) or the normal (Grauberg [S])? I mean 60-70 kills and no hide is pretty bad... Although I tried in Bhaflau Thickets with BLM manaburning and me as THF to at least have TH3, about 10k exp later, still no hide either.

[evilpaul]

I was doing the ones in Grauberg by where the teleport dumps you out. I've done the ToAU ones, so I know that two hours killing them with no drops proves nothing. >.<

Need information on the possible family Sandworms are under. Also Pixies, if they are unclassified or Arcana.

Don't listen to BRP, we need not know what family Pixies are in, only that they are made of happy and ground up kittens.

[Kiarax]

I would guess they fall under Beastmen. Same as Poroggo's and Sahagin.

[Sagacious Sundi]

I still hope pixies fall under a new group called "fairies," which would include wild moogles.

I did both Wivres (Grau and Gus)

And Fairy's aggro low HP, clearly they are undead >.> <.<

Ha, ha. I'd hate to see them vanish in the mornings.

The Pixie begins to cast Raise III on Kyreth.

4:01 *poof*

My R3, noooooo!

One thing that's nice on the higher HP- lots of places to skill up.

My atrophied Parry skill was getting some nice skillups on the DC Quadav near the Pashow/Rolanberry border, and one Quadav lasted a looong time solo. If you don't kill them, pixies might not be bad sparring partners either. After all, even if die they'll just Raise you...

i was bored the other day and started wandering around batallia where i found an EP djinn. i figured what the hell, i'll punk it. hit it w/ a T4, bound it, hit it w/ another T4...and then something that scared the shit out of me happened. it was at 30% and i started to nuke it w/ a T3 spell. it was at this time that the bomb unbound, ran straight for me, and tried to use Nocturnal Combustion. i realized just how screwed i might be if it had enough HP to kill me in 1 explosion (and it just might as a squishy taru) when my nuke got off before it could finish exploding and killed it. this is very strange to me as either the mob started w/ TP, or something i did gave it VAST sums of TP, as my nukes should have only given it 20%. it was nighttime at the time and it was firesday, so i suspect that either it has TP regen at night or it has TP regen on darksday and that carried over onto firesday w/ him sitting at 300% TP b/c nobody else was as dumb as i was to try to play with what might be an unsleepable, unstunnable bomb.

Maybe TP regen at night, because their blowing up move is called "Nocturnal Combustion" and I hope you know what nocturnal means

About the ladybugs, I was killing the EP Biddybugs in Jugner so I could work off a latent while getting wings. There seems to be some method by which they get stronger as was mentioned, though if it's like Apkallu or not, I don't know. When I started killing them they were swinging fairly slow with 1-2 attacks in a round for 30 damage on average and only did the Spiral Spin. Later they added the other TP moves mentioned. They also started swinging much faster, 4-5 attacks in a round were fairly common, with many of those being criticals for 100+. Maybe I just got unlucky though. I did have Sigil on. I seemed to remember saying that maybe they got stronger in the day, but I looked through this thread and didn't find it, but I might also fail at searching.

I just now fought my first three ladybugs in Jugner because they all linked to me aggroing en EP-low-low one. It was daytime, however they weren't really attacking all that much faster than a standard quick mob. The first one I killed used Spiral Spin, the second one I fought used Sudden Lunge and Nepanthean Hum, and the last one I fought used Spiral Spin. I don't quite think it's apkalluish.

edit: fourth used Noisesom Powder.

I thought the Sandworm only spawned in the areas around Jeuno, but a few hours ago we killed him in North Gustaberg.


Got an earth crystal and a cool title for the 30 min fight :D

Any luck on intimidations? Well, I don't think people walk around with much Amorph killer on them.

I didn't notice any intimidation happening ;< We had a nin tank

Taking pictures for Pankration can also help (since chances are you'll get a killer effect). Someone on otherwiki confirmed slugs are amorphs like this.

that's why i suggested it. ^^ i just thought it would be rather sickeningly mean to make them have TP regen at night as almost any bomb that aggros would have 300% TP from the get go as nobody would have killed them in the past hour. that's why i put forth the darksday theory too. still, it's not inconceivable that SE would do something so mean. they do have a history. ^^
