FFXI New NMs 11/9/09

A JP that was with us said on the JP wiki this drops the Lyft Polearm, if so yay! of course we got nothing.

Checked this morning and it wasnt on it, so it must have been added recently.

[Priestsan]

right on the c/d-10 line both times, damn near dead straight across from the emerald column

Bird at D-10 is definately PH. Easy solo by DRG/WHM. I imagine it's even easier as DRG/RDM cause of Phalanx. With baraero up, stormwind damage dropped to 20-30 damage, making it a perfect time to get a HB off. NM is very squishy.

Edit: I lied, went through battle log. Still hits hardish at first, but seems to scale down with it's HP.

damn Goblintrap 0/8 and don't finished after seen droprate of the forum.

1/4 on this thing.

You act like

-everyone dings into Askar/Aurum, Homam, or Zahak's

-they didn't use their ACP body for something else

-everyone levels as fast as you



I know a number of people who won't ever own any of the above except maybe Askar. Given the gear they'll have access to they're probably better off using this piece and getting their 6-hit elsewhere, especially since it makes for a better WS piece. I'm mostly camping it to help my friends out. If for some reason none of them can make it out to get the drop, I'll have a shiny new body I can run around in for kicks.

Well, considering the post I quoted/responding to was saying that if it took X amount of time it'd still be worth it. Someone with that kind of attitude would think the same for superior items, no? Making me believe that they would put time eventually and get one of those better bodies, at which point, the body in question then becomes useless.

Honestly, even if you don't get Aurum, between Askar and Homam you'd be covered to where this body would have practically no use at all, Askar of which not being hard to obtain. (Askar for capped acc, homam + rose strap ect for uncapped)

[TheTaru]

Anyone have information on Frogamander? I've been killing what I thought to be PH for like 7 hours while camping Hazmat, and it hasn't popped.

K just took another look at this body.

Best case scenario
9 acc 9 attack 1 fstr

Let's assume 500 attack on G colibri (now a drg should have way more than this, but yea)

Going to 509 attack is
((509/293)-.35)/((500/293)-.35) = 2.2644358% increase

Assuming 0 fstr, 95 DMG polearm
1/95 = 1.052631579% increase

Compounding
1.01052631579 x 1.022644358 = 3.34% increase

Now drg is what? 5/35/60 on Jump/DoT/WS dmg? Let's just give DoT the benefit of the doubt and say 40%

3.34 x .4 = 1.336% increase in damage.

SH+1 has 3 more acc than this body, 1.5% hitrate. Assuming 93.5% hitrate
1.5/93.5 = 1.60% increase.

With jumps at 5% of the dmg, this increases DoT and WS dmg, but you know what, let's give it the benefit of the doubt to be safe and say 10% of dmg is jumps
1.6 x .90 = 1.44% increase.

Unless I did something wrong, or assumed a way off DoT/Jump/WS ratio, this body doesn't even beat SH+1 in uncapped acc situations.
Edit:
Missed max acc/max attack by 1 (though only 25% chance to get 3 acc/attack from 3 str/dex,) but evne then it's on par w/ a friggin SH+1, nothing to jump all up and down/get panties in a bunch for. Will do the 25% chance scenario w/ 1 more acc 1 more attack when i have a bit more time.

[chiyio]

Becut down, aptant Arkhe. pops at G-10, lotto off the Pelters.

Uses a unique TP move, Moribund Hack, heavy ice dmg + hate reset around target + strong paralyze. Throat Stab mechanics, just have to run further. Oh yeah, 50 dmg shock spikes, enblizzard and double attack (though most gigas have it anyways). Paralyze rapes the shit out of it >.>


Also tried popping Magnotaur. I saw someone post about it earlier as well, cant find the post. Heres the dat:

Kindred Warrior
Kindred Black Mage
Kindred Dark Knight
Kindred Summoner
Demon's Elemental
Molech
Molech
Kindred Warrior
Kindred Black Mage
Kindred Dark Knight
Kindred Summoner
Demon's Elemental
Molech
Smolenkos
Kindred Warrior
Kindred Black Mage
Kindred Dark Knight
Kindred Summoner
Demon's Elemental
Molech <- assumed PH
Molech <- assumed PH
Magnotaur
Jormungand


I have a strange feeling that the PH may actually be the molech's above, or the single in the middle. I rememebr the last person talking about it had no luck, aiming for those 2 molech, I had the same results.

Anyone have information on Frogamander? I've been killing what I thought to be PH for like 7 hours while camping Hazmat, and it hasn't popped.

it's a straight timed spawn. no need to kill any flesh mobs. pops every 2hrs~ about.

Atpant of Haelan off Skvader

That doesn't make sense, is Skvader a time pop? If so it'd make sense, but if it's lottery I'm so confused. It's be the only NM that drops Aptants that isn't a time'd.

It's lottery. Becut is lottery too and dropped an Aptant

what? >.>
Becut, Big Bang, Demoiselle Desolee, Skvader, 3 of those I've personally popped and killed, the 4th being DD which Karbuncle popped n killed.

Demoiselle dropped an Aptant as well =x, shes lottery

[Rocl]

Lottery spawn from bees near the road at G-8/9, My friend knows the -exact- PH but i can't get ahold of him, but its in that area without a doubt. usually took us anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to pop it.

Did your friend ever get back with that PH for Erle?

[chiyio]

Venomfang: Aptant Pera

where are these last two weaponsssssss

[TheTaru]

it's a straight timed spawn. no need to kill any flesh mobs. pops every 2hrs~ about.

Where exactly does it spawn then? I must be looking in the wrong places

Edit: Oh durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, it's on the other map.

[Meian]

0/8 on Lizardtrap. Some other person been here for days when I am on and off and looks like she hasn't gotten it yet either. I miss the days of AC where things were often 100% drop on these type of things... at least it isn't a f'ing lottery spawn -_-

This is NOT the thread for that. Leave god damn it!
