Almighty Apkallu: Found, and then lost again.

Then again with the "boat problems" couldn't it be glitching which ferry ride your go on so that the Whitegate->Nash physical ride uses the Nash -> Whitegate dats.

[Spekkio]

screenshots have been posted of the birdman cape (in this thread i believe) but the individual holding it is a foreigner (well, to us at least) and communication was difficult. what he said indicated that it came from AA, but language was a major problem and there's no guarantee what he said was truthful either.

If you see Proteus, then maybe.

[Shapua]

3) Tell GM I accidentally tossed my Birdman Cape in a lag-fest
4) ???
5) PROFIT

[Lebzile]

Won't work, they'll check the log to find out that you're a fat dirty liar face.

[Airenn]

Possibly.

Let's keep in mind that GM's are complete tools though.

Mostly, I meant that post as a what-if to the person who actually HAD one.

Hi everyone.

I am not much of a forum poster as much as a reader, but I thought I would share what I just had happen tonight. My friends were riding the boat searching for AA as a gift for me, and I decided to catch up with them and take the boat back to Al Zahbi. As soon as we walked upstairs we were greeted to AA.

Here are some screenshots. It was an interesting fight. We didn't manage to kill it before docking, but we got it to approx 1%. We were a party of 2 WHM/BLM and one WAR/NIN.

The WAR said he had great defense and his RR wasn't hitting for very much at all.


I didn't take note of time or anything. My friends tell me there was a group of people on boat heading away from Al Zahbi right before who kept killing Apkallu.
I am happy to have seen the NM, sad I was unable to find out if I would have gotten the drop.

He seriously SPAMMED Yawn and another move that causes Paralyze. I really do believe we would have been able to kill it but we got aggro from the Sea Monk and had to waste MP Reposing and putting bandaids on the WAR.

Sorry the SS's are big and ugly. Forgive me on that one.

Take care ^^

So i read that SE states that people ride the ship one way but not the other.
Could they infact be leaning that you need to be on BOTH rides to affect the pop.
Like the actions on AL Z > Nash affects the ride back on the same ship?
Which is why people are not seeing sighting cause they are warping.
Also people only catch and usually kill everything going to ein. So once every few/alot hours. May explain the lack of sights to only a few. Would also explain why at first you all thought proteus was linked. Do you think that group may have killed the birds too?
Charly do you know if any actions were taken on the ship ride previous to you seeing AA?
Would need a group on each ride killing/protecting birds to see.
Also did you do ANYTHING on the ship before seeing AA like cast a spell, use a JA, /emote, Fish, talk to NPC, use food/item, Get sea sick and hurl over the side, Hug a bird, ect.

Someone made a thread about this NM and another poster replied with a link to this thread. If people can't repeat questions and can't necro bump relevant questions, what can they do? Not as if this has a fixed answer that will be ready for the Randomest Question thread.

[tarumalphius]

I have shocking details to share. I just killed Absolute Virtue (we used bar spells and virtue weapons) and he spawned A.A. after warping us to the ship. So we killed him. We got 2 Birdman Capes and the boots as well. True story.

Not even remotely funny.

Actually yeah I apologize, I was skimming through and didn't notice other thread, just this one

Well I at least amused myself.

>_> What an amazing way to up your post count.



and I hate A. A.

[Thorny]

Total # of rides on boat to nashmau vs total # of rides on boat to whitegate, whichever is higher's NM pops when one of them is due to pop. Resets at maintenance.

...no idea, but it'd make sense.

That really does make sense. Extremely unlikely, but it does seem like people who really go out of there way to camp A.A are the ones who end up seeing him. I also always had the feeling that the number of people who ride the boat comes into play. Its to bad SE has to make such extremely ridiculous pop conditions with nothing even set in stone to what they are.

[Gergall]

The two boat rides are completely different zones. It's extremely unlikely that a variable in one zone (such as the number of people present) affects something in a different zone.
