New ToAU NMs (Now with 100% more Pandemonium!) pg77

[Starr]

I bet Sundi put that Gob in as revenge for us taking the piss out of him.

[Suterusu]

You know, a little late now but, I don't get why everyone bitched they popped that goblin by mistake. I was more upset their entire alliance was gathered around the ???, even the mages. I mean, if this was the actual pop, who knows? Could have started off with a deathga, sleepga, etc. I'm more troubled they weren't even prepared for the fight :\


Edit: Soulflayer NM only uses -ga III when his shield was up we found. Once his shield is down he uses AMI and AGAII. He used shield on us 3 times during the fight, takes a while to break.

[Radiogotem]

This is probably 99% common sense but I gave this a try anyway for fun because I am sitting on a veritable war chest of zeni right now...

Pet Wyverns do not work when Ryo asks for Wyverns

I was on lunch this afternoon and saw a PLD at Mamool Ja SP solo'ing a pet wyvern for pics and asked if he needed any help with sleeping his mob. He invited me and I snapped off a roll of 10 on the pet, figuring it'd be worth a whirl. I mean, it says "wyvern" in its name, right?

Well, not so much. For a lv76-77 mob, I got 16-19 zeni per pic. It was worth a shot since Skoffins are a bitch to soro, even though they ARE worth 99 a pic, but it didn't pay off.

Thought I'd share.

And who says they didn't all crowd around it after it was dead and obviously a game error?

The coin! It has 2 sides!

I'm pretty sure they do count as wyverns, but your Zeni reward is greatly based on HP/TOTAL_HP with the smaller the fraction the better. A pet Wyvern has crap for hitpoints while a Skoffin has a ton of them. There's your difference.

[Seeko]

There's big difference between missing "something" and saying something that was said many times over like 10 pages. >_>

But anyway, that's the past so let's let it die.

Kinda on-topic: Why would they keep the "t" in Atnm if it was indeed Atorugan NM? They omit the "U" in A.A.R.I. (Aht Urhgan Archaeological Research Institute). Or is there something about moonspeak I don't get?

Aht Urhgan Test Notorious Monster maybe?

Maybe Alliance-Touareg-Niger-Mali (ATNM), or a typo for ANTM (America's Next Top Model).

My own thought would be along the lines of Atorugan TRIGGER Notorious Monster Test. After all, that's the entire basis of the ZNM system, is that all 31 mobs are trigger pops.

You know, a little late now but, I don't get why everyone bitched they popped that goblin by mistake. I was more upset their entire alliance was gathered around the ???, even the mages.

Or maybe we used it as a gather point since it was close, and fully expected nothing at all to pop, just wanted to try it before we moved en-mass to the actual trigger spot? At least that was MY thought as I was standing there.

[Gunitsoldier]

Stop with the fingerpointing already. They lost their pop set they worked hard for, they feel bad enough already. They just traded it to that ??? because there has been alot of speculation around it. Since there is nothing in this game that will make you lose your pop item by trading it to the wrong ??? , they went for it. This is SE's fault for leaving the ??? there and they're fixing/fixed it.

Now drop it and post more tips/info for fellow players on how you experienced certain ZNMs because after all, that's what this thread is for. Posting tips and experiences, not kicking people when they're down.

[Kuroshi]

We wanted to try the Wajaom one first, since it was close to zone. We thought if it didn't work, nothing would have popped...

lol. You should have went to aydertime what ever that place is called.lol

lol. You should have read the fucking thread you retarded pile of shit.

Oh I guess I missed something. But I am not retarded nor am I pile of shit. May be you need to grow up.

I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I!?

----------------------------------------------

Seriously though... onto the topic. Did Nosferatu last night with BLMx2, THF(me), COR, MNKx2, WHM, RDM, and SMN. Was still kinda rough if the healers wern't looking out for his summoning animation. Our Monks died at about 80%, so the rest of us zoned it and I dropped the party to continue zoning it while everyone recovered. I'm sure many or all of you know this, but you have to drop party when you do this or else the ZNM is just going to attack your party members while their resting.

I found that we did a better job having the BLM nuke then zone. Although cheap, still very effective. Eventually he turned almost all of my group into bats where I had to drop party and zone the NM yet again. BLEH!

Bring a proper tank(s) to this NM!! Our monks were very good and have duo tanked and killed Experimental Lamia in a 6 man group with really no problem. Basically it really doesn't matter how good of a MNK tank you are.. you WILL have trouble with this NM due to all of his nasty one shotting summons.

All in all really, I had no fun with this guy unlike some other ZNM. No SS of drops. Sorry

You can make your life a whole lot easier with Nosferatu by Stunning the summoning animation, Wafik even said it a few pages back - the only one you won't be able to stun is Astral FLow at low HP, it's a total bitch.

The reason I think its hard to tank on mnk is because nosferatu's kiss ignores shadows and steals HP+TP - you hardly ever get to WS. When we fought it, took it down to 1% and it healed itself back to 15% several times, pretty annoying.

The amount drained from Kiss didnt seem static, I think it takes your TP x # = the HP taken(while taking your TP as well) Since it's AoE, he basically 'always' has TP, it's a very fun fight indeed lol

Have we still not heard back from the GM?

I is sad.

Back when the CoP earrings weren't reobtainable, I tossed the one I picked, that I later regretted, in hopes of saying I accidentally tossed the good one I wanted. I filed a lost item claim and it took about 3 days to get a response, which was, for lack of better wording, "uhh...no".

[tsola]

They said it would take up to 3 days from the time the item restoration was requested. I don't know exactly when it was requested though, since the GMs apparently did it on my behalf.

I'll probably call again Wed night/Thurs morning if I don't get a response by then I guess.

We did have the Black Mages Stunning, but one of them mentioned getting resists (at least, that's what I saw). I'm not sure if they were stunning when he wasn't summoning and he built up a resistance early into the fight or what, but I didn't notice any of the summonings getting stunned.

The summons didn't seem to be a huge problem after the first time they popped and faceraped me. The only ones that seemed to be any trouble at all were the fomors. As long as Ni or Ichi was ready, it wasn't hard to blink the TP attack from the Fomor. You still got hit with whatever Nosferatu was using, but I didn't see that hit me for over 800. The problem was that, between the summon pops, regular attacks, and spells, I would often have 7-10s on each of my timers. If the summonings had been stunned, it would've been no problem at all.

That's just not true It took us a while to break through the shields and if it only used -ga3's we would have been toast. It did use -ga2's but those are easy to eat.

I tried this during first day, got a T Mamool's Wyvern and took some photos, got 60-70z for them, then went for a Skoffin and was getting 97-100, so unless you think you are unable to hold one of the big ones, get the pets

[Chronatog]

Wow, who is ready to eat some crow for making fun of the person for posting that thread.

Only people that think they know everything but just don't know anything like everyone else, been proved with the Gob nm. looks like that "retarded person" isnt that retarded, i mean, he didnt pop the gob in the end. And its making laugh when i see the "1rst in retarded thread b4 lock" from people that just follow the tendency and prove they havent took the time to think about it and just making fun to humiliate others from their inhumanity.
There are some other way to tell someone he's wrong or anything you want but insults.
