You can't kite the mobs. Will depop if too far from pop location...

It's not so much a kite as a split. Not allowing the boss mob to affect the other members of the party with its TP moves.

Credit to Chilicheese for picture ages ago.

Haha that screenshot is still my favorite.

[Caudle]

There's all kinds of room to kite stuff. That slug is way annoying though. We didn't have any trouble just a pain in the ass. I was on nin but i believe our rdm/blm and brd kept the little ones slept most the time, while the pld and whm dealt with the big one.

Batallia Downs, D.log + khroma ore, gully with +2 agi +1 chr +4 attack.. sorry no pic i was on PS2.. (this is too good to be true >.> )

[Spira]

seems like Gully is a regular item in the list of augmented stuff that drop from B.downs

[Tarage]

Man... It looks like it'll be a while till someone comes up with a full explanation about how this works and how to better the odds of obtaining X augment.

Hell I'm still confused as to how this works.

[Starr]

Wow, I think I would cream myself if that happened.

[sruon]

dear fucking god.

Time to use the 900k allied notes I have.

[Spira]

ok so there are 3 chests..
1 has the craft/money drops, 1 has the augment eq and 1 gives exp.
can someone tell me which colors are for which? and if you have any idea which appears first or by condition? as much info as possible would be great...

for the NMs that are level capped, it seems they will only drop augmented equipment from below their level cap.. for eg.. im guessing only 51-60 equip drop from the 3 starter zones {s}.. and possibly 61-70 from vunk/grauberg/fort kn.. but those that are uncapped will probably all drop 71-75 stuff?

havent done any of this myself but im gathering as much info as i can on this to figure out how this works and put it into a chart again..

[Tsuki]

I can't give specifics about what pops first etc., cause we've only done three of these so far and we wiped once. In the other two runs we've gotten three boxes; 2 brown chests (like the hp/mp chests in limbus) and a blue chest (like the time chests/temp. item caskets)

Blue Chest= Augmented Item
Brown = Exp
Brown = Loot

Also, In addition to the Batallia run we did the Grauberg 70cap one; popped 6 Hippogriffs and 1 Wyvern boss. We ended up wiping to this one largely due to bad luck with our brd having some pc issues, also we did not know it was 70cap until we popped it. It doesn't seem that hard though, will try again tomorrow.

Last one we did was Fort K. Popped an Ochu type mob named "Amaranth" and 6 fly adds. This one we found much more difficult because the boss mob triple attacks and has a poison TP move that increases potency over time, TP drain moves, an AoE Sleep move, and single target amnesia, among other things. Not to mention the fact that the adds seemed to have more HP then the previous pops we did (this is just eyeballing, it was 70capped and we were not decently geared for level). We did manage to kill all adds and win though, netting 1.2k Exp, Misc drops- sorry most of them elude me it's now 7AM here lol. offhand, what I recall for drops were: Hermes quencher, moblin thread, bloodthread (?idk it was red) super-ether+2... sorry they were pretty lackluster.

[Doofus]

My LS just did batallia, sauro, and rolanberry.

They were all kind of stupid, but not overly hard, won all 3. drops were kinda meh, got that log that starts with a J thats worth 80 and 2 darksteel sheets from batallia. Sauro and rolanberry were ew, red curry was best.

As far as augmented items, we got an ice lance with crit hit rate +1 and pet acc +4(and something else i cant remember what but i think it was good)

Dance shoes with acc+1 and attack +2? or may have been the other way around, idk

and as other people said a gully with stupid stats, didnt even get the delay - on it,

we tried to do the CN one but beastmen controlled here we gonna try eldieme and citadel tomorrow i think, or maybe the 3 OP zones, we'll see.

[Spira]

um. are both browns the 2hr chest? as in.. are they both brown and grey metal frame.. or is there a brown and gold metal frame?
and.. does it make a difference? lol

[Fridell]

This seems promising!

Just tried Batallia down with 2 + 2 dualbox (PLD RDM + BLM MNK), not very hard, got it down to 50% just within first sleepga. Thanks to awesome JP lagging us, was hard to resleep and promptly wiped. Paralyze spam prevented me from using Hundred Fists but if you have a real mage dedicated to sleepgas and one for paralynas it's a real joke.

Do you guys realize its almost pointless to kill just the boss?

Also with the tiger, he spams roar for a little bit but when he uses another tp move, and starts attacking, that is when you do your stuff.
