Do mobs have infinite MP?

[TheBlazed]

Its around infinite

[Sylvrdragon]

Its around infinite

...

[Agana]

Yea I figured the crabs were PLD with auto refresh so they basically never run out of MP completely

[Kimiko]

Agana wins on sig alone. =D

[Rektify]

^ That is a neat sig, very true too -,-

Its around infinite

Somewhere in the ballpark of!

[Meian]

I know I've seen wyverns run out of mp in dynamis but they get them back quickly

[Aquilo86]

No but some of them have a ton.

iirc Crabs in Qufim Island have close to 4k mana I think?

Kirin himself has only so much MP as proven by some rather sad linkshells that kited him so long that he ran out of MP for spells.

those were the days!

[Wulfgang]

Gration is actually worse when he runs out of MP; happened during my first go at soloing him on RNG.

Ele's in the Ouryu uncapped fight are fairly easy to aspir dry too. Takes about 15-20mins for our blms to do it normally.

I wouldn't bank on the auto-refresh job trait granted to crabs.

Drg Dynamis Mobs still have their old 2hr, and you never see a Sam mob Hasso/Seigan either.

[zard1977]

Adjusting job traits and job abilities to mobs are entirely different things.

Job traits such as Zanshin and auto-refresh could have been added, but job abilites such as Hasso, seigan, were never added to mobs. In fact, mobs never use any JAs of players except 2hrs.

[Deemos]

I can remember many times soloing NMs that at certain point they stopped casting totally

Oh shit hahaha, I didn't read what I wrote before posting. I had to read what you quoted off me twice then read your statement again to figure out what you meant

iirc, theres a BLM NM in Mamook, lv85 that 2 Bsts can duo with Puk pets. He spams Wind spells only, thus healing the pets constantly with Aeroga4 and such. I also heard that once he runs out of MP he goes F#$*ing apeshit.

Someone go get a vid of that, thatd be awesome XD

And yet goblin Drks in Altep use absorb-tp. SE doesn't apply things universally.

Following on from Avesta's Suzaku solo, just trio'ed Suzy at the weekend using the same strat (kinda) - took just under 1hr to run out of MP completely.

Rest of the fight consisted of 3 RDM's loling on vent whilst smacking it with Joy or Staff with enwater

[Hanyoko]

Ages ago, i skilled up dagger (rdm) on elementals; using both aspir and energy drain/steal. It did eventually run out of mp after like 45 min; Its too long ago for me to remember if they had an auto-refresh trait.

[Fogo]

I sometimes play with the mage yagudos in saruta if i'm out doing a little farming, dragging one along as an MP bank. They tend to run out of mp after like 3 aspir's (about 400 mp), after that, all you get is 0's.

Done the same thing in qufim pl'ing friends, i'll grab a crab for mp bank. They typically lasted about 2000 mp iirc but it's been a while since I did that.

As for smn mobs (the one that always gets me), i'm about 99% certain their spirits don't cost any MP to perp. It's a little disconcerting to aspir one of those guys dry and see them still sitting there with their elemental out -_-

[Ryphen]

I don't remember when they added Zanshin to SAMs, but a lot of SAM mobs have the trait. Aerns and the Yagudo Disseminators and Inciters in Campaign come to mind. You may as well be blinktanking a NIN or MNK.
