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

[Wulfgang]

Has anyone found the spawn point for the T3 Wivre Dea? Says it is in Bhaflau Thickets, have checked birdland, Mamool Ja SP, and NQ area outside Al Zahbi with 12 people, no luck.

EDIT: Found in F-7 Thickets outside Whitegate.

[BlueMage]

dextrose dropped ruby seraweels, complete crap.

Just spent the last 6 hours taking pics to get points for a tier 3. Start price was 5800, and just bought it for 3900. Got Vinegar Pie for the Troll NM. Gonna go look around Mount Z for the ???.

Drops from Dea, T3 Wivre. Hard fight with 12 people (Aegis PLD). Uses Demoralizing Roar followed by Crippling Slam every time, Crippling Slam took three shadows towards the end from a NIN with capped Ninjutsu. Damage from Slam was about 500+ with added Paralyze. Our NIN is a solid Kikoku NIN and there is no way he could have tanked it. Elegy landed fine, make sure to dispel Boiling Blood asap or fail.

Verdelet ??? @ (K-6), Caedarva Map 1. Just north of Azouph Staging Point warp.

Edit: Info on fight - is really weak, fastcasts elemental tier I-IV, -ga I-III. Casts weaker spells with lower hp. Casts often, every 5-10 seconds. Physical strength seemed to increase with damage, but still not very tough. Magic lands for same, if not higher than surrounding imps.

Can anyone explain how to kill the Cheese Qiqirn in details ? I already wasted a pop

We used that portal strat earlier and it was hell. I just did it again with friends in 5 min, heres how.

Gather your blms (we had 5), clear mobs north and south of pop. Then pop it, all blms nuke, when it runs let it, nuke when it comes back. Took 3 sets of nukes to kill in under 5 minutes. Blm need shell and barfira for bombs or they can die and mess it up. Try to have a non-blm pop it.

[Atreides]

updated the OP again with drops from everything up to now, great work everyone!

@wulfgang: where was the ??? to pop it? what key item did you get from trading in the horn?

@radec: what key item did you get from trading in the wing?

J-6 actually. The K-6 threw me off and I thought we'd have to run through Arrapago.

Really easy, just ga's are annoying but aoe stoneskin ate them. Everyone was spamming their cameras since imps was the monster of interest, too >_>;

[Mansin]

I've just been skimming, but I'm doing Chigre right now and the ??? is FAR shorter than 15min. I didn't check, but it's short as hell.
Please god do this to every pop NM.

[Ethican]

yup, Verdelet wing gave me amber colored seal also. fun fight ^^

[BlueMage]

killed armored gears, dropped oracles hands

[Thorny]

Iriz Ima is the retard child of the set, any RDM 41+ with utsusemi:ichi and bio should be able to solo it. Just some random info: It got TP 4 times during the fight and used different moves each time, however it did Onrush much like Despot's panzerfaust though a bit slower. I suppose that could be a small problem straight tanking it, as I have no idea how hard it hits(it never even hit stoneskin, lolmarids). To confirm for OP, yes it gave Apple Green Seal.

Edit: 345 Exp and 4,500 gil solo at 75.

[dyluck]

grats on that solo

[Kirbyprime]

Didn't find this in a search, but is this also type like the crab one.

"His current infatuation is with birds, in particular those belonging in the bat family"

Considering birds and bats are 2 different mob types on Vana'deil Bestiary

[Tidane]

He said birds, particularly bats, so I traded some Greater Birds and he liked them.

Maybe this has been posted before. If so, please forgive me.

I'm almost certain of the NM progression now. There are 18 unique seals in the DAT files and a total of 30 NMs(31 if you count Pandemonium). It's confirmed from various sources that 18 of these NMs only account for 6 of the 18 seals. That leaves 12(13) NMs and 12 seals. I'm guessing that you'll need all of the seals from all 3 tier III NMs in a specific branch to purchase the pop item for the HNM that resides in said branch(nothing else would make sense). Upon collecting all of the seals from Cerb/Hydra/Khimeria, you're eligible to receive the Pandemonium key which is used to access the final boss. There is no other way that can account for all of the seals in the DAT files so this is probably it.

Edit:

Some more information. The order in which seals and NM names seem to match. This would require confirmation, but it coincides perfectly thus far with all of the collected data.
