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

[Hellfury]

Been getting steady 96-97 points of Wivres (he wants lizards, preferably wivre family atm on remora). I've handed in 30 or 40 of them now over the course of several gamedays, waiting for gameday change to hand in 10 more I have ready. Wondering if there's some kinda server wide quota or something like that involved in triggering new requests.

[Gabrielx]

I am fairly sure that is how it works, as it suddenly changed preferences in the middle of one of my daily trades.

Oborons are fucking epic. Got around 99 a shot at 1-3% standing 3' from it's face.

25 people on the boat, all crowded round it. ofc our ally didn't claim, so we didn't take pics. Got back to town and it changed to crabs. lolowned.

I think the Family interest changes every 3-4 game days.

The interest changed from imps to earth elementals at 0:00, transition between 2 game days, I was waiting for the new mob cause I was tired of imps, so I camped the NPC til this point, speculating that it would change at 0:00.

Apparently Lil' Apkallu gives a LOT of Apkallu hate.

#1 pop (hate@0) = Zero resist, easiest mob ever, would run for 1 minute after Yawn
#2 pop = 60% resist on nukes, Wing move a bit stronger, and only run for 15 seconds after a Yawn.

Just did 3 in a row and it got easier as we got the hang of it. Noticed absolutely no increase in difficulty.

Unrequested shadow lord for about 60 zen each.

0/5 Coiler :/

It was Harlequin frame again. I honestly don't believe it can change frame.

Also, we went 1/1 on Numenus (sp) Pumps from Lil' Apkallu, and 0/1 Dragoon's Earring from the Colibri.

How hard is Tier 3 Experimental Lamia? Our static is a balanced and advanced group of around 7-8 people.

I've seen him in Harlequin, Stormwaker, and Sharpshot form. when we fought Stormwaker, he started off at it from the beginning. On sharpy, he changed somewhere during the fight. The Stormwaker casts some pretty stupid magic choices (like stunning the MNK, using Choke, Using a Tier III) but he has alot of fastcast. This is probobly the easiest frame, he would rather nuke than WS, but he still does. The sharpy was easy, too. all of his WSs were blinkable, since the R.A WSs are 1 shot. he is capable of using slapstick, though, which he can use to wipe shadows then very quickly Daze you.

The harlequin, like most others have said, takes -50% damage no matter what. Stormwaker has INSANE magic resist (RDM, BRD, WHM, and BLM were unable to land ANY debuffers period) but takes alot of increased damage, Sharpy seems in the middle, and the valoredge also had high melee DEF but not so much magic DEF.

Epic, how did you pop it/when did he change? I see it's at 100% but it's just pretty confusing, lol.

[Aemora]

After reading that Lil' Apkallu can be kited with movement speed (C.Cuisses / H.Gaiters) to avoid Hundred Fists, I thought to myself, "Ah... Soloable!" ... So I went and solo'd the bastard.

Eaaaaaaasy, but long. Very long... I did this on Blm/Nin (as I lack Rdm, and Sch is kinda with solo'ing atm without a Refresh body piece (IXION CLOAK PLZGOD)). Bio2 landed npnpnp, Poison2 wouldn't stick worth shit, so just a Bio2 fight. The area where it pops has 0 Aggroable mobs there, until you get hit.

At which point, the Drauger from the cave opposite you will aggro and train it's way through to come kick you in the face with its Dragoon-pet and you die not more than 15m away from finishing the solo. So yeaaaaaah...

Kite from where it spawns, follow the bottom (nearest to the water) to the back area before the Draugers beyond the hole-in-the-cliff-face, and turn IMMEDIATELY up and around the top. What I started doing when I first popped it was wait for it to catch up slightly then try to trick it into following my path, which did NOT work and it would hit me, follow the ledge down, then kite along the top, and once you reach it's spawn point again, put Bio2 back on (if it wore) or Drain (if you got hit), Stun, then whilst it's stunned run straight passed it and repeat.

So I ran it in a long oval kinda shape. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD idea when you get hit. Yellow health running along the top ledge on your way back to spawn point will make the Draugers in the caves above you aggro and come running. So I suggest kite in a straight line, along the water's edge, and just make a small loop at the end to run around it. And it's so simple to Solo. Just takes a long ass time.

Again, I died doing this because of the aggro, but easily soloable imo. Gonna try again when I get enough Zeni. :>

It can definitely change mid-day. Has done so twice now while I was trading, so there should be some sort of quota. However, it would also make sense that there is a time limit, such as if it's something hard to get a picture of (or when this ZNM thing slows down) and it'd take too long to reach quota.

I can confirm as well that its based off the number of Soul Plates turned in total from everyone. Last night the option for the desired picture was Colibri, which translated into everyone spreading out in the Thickets to get their 10 pictures for the day. halfway through the first day of Colibri the required picture changed to Apkallu, which resulted in the rest of my plates being worth half as much as i was getting before the change.

It's already been stated he changes interest when he gets enough of the one he's asking for.

This is I guess why "Fauna" isnt THAT useless. You can like get 30 plates for the next few vanadays without having to fear the requirement changes - because no many people do the fauna part.

Is it possible to Duo/Trio this?

Also is it possible to Duo/Trio Cheese Hoarder? I have another BLM friend and a RDM friend who would be willing to go Cheese Hoarder > Iriz Ima > Armed Gear for the boots from Iriz and the hands from Armed Gears.

Ya, getting a khimaira sucks when you don't have claim >.> or princess pudding when you never pop it in salvage. Or behemoth in nyzul isle when you don't do 20 or 40 anymore.

Those are the 3 faunas I've seen so far
