FFXI New NMs 11/9/09

[Hanayaka]

My shell ran into a few problems with Enthiu and we kept getting stuck due to her leveling up so much....

So we decided to try doing a BRD Rotation and just zerg her down.

Brds were /PLD for Holy Circle
2 RDM/DRK

Sorry it isn't the best screenshot log, but you can see the time required for the fight (25 seconds) and a good estimation of expected damage.

As for drop rates:
0/7 on Fomor Weapons
1/7 on Fomor Armor (Elatha hands) '~'

[Yoky]

So we tried to straight Tank Fahrafahr the Bloodied...A few things I noticed:

1) /NIN is a must, shadows will absorb the blow from his AoE

2) His regular hits, will hit for 250-400 and Drop Hammer will hit for 450+

3) around 50% he went into Apeshit mode, and our DD and Tanks noticed a higher evasion and well hit regular hits were hitting 500+ and his Drop hammer was 700+

4) Slow and Poison land, Para gets resisted, Gravity and Bind his is immune too (Go figure)

5) Drop hammer is AoE but have a VERY small radius appox 10'

6) Its hate is really screwy, the tank couldnt keep hate, Cure III's was pulling hate very easily, Hate kinda reminded me of Boompadu's random hate bounce.


We got it down to 40% but what felt like "rage" mode was just too much to straight tank it.

[LilithAngel]

Mahishasura: all I can say to you is I hate your 18 hour respawn time! ><

0/2 over the course of 3 days, only because of said respawn time. One JP that got the claim in between mine got the gun 1/1.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Anyone know an estimated drop rate from Shankha? 0/2 now, and not really many posts on this NM.

Friend went 1/1 on it. Why do you want it? As best I can figure it'll give 1 extra TP on block?

1/3 for me. From what I've seen, it's a pretty easy drop.

Figured out Hoarberry's Shadower problem.

Said Creeper is definately a PH, it popped off it lol.

Play toy for RDM that I'm leveling atm.

It might be my complete ignorance being a PLD, but I was also under the impression that it was Shield Mastery that gave the -100% interruption rate, and not shield blocking in general, which is why it may be a fun toy for RDM.

edit: 0/3 :<

[BerenTebogo]

Yeah with the shield if you block it shoud give you 100% interrupt down. Nifty.

[Souj]

Either it's linked to the mobs on the other ledge, or it can actually pop off the too weak tonberries on the grass. (someone was killing the lower lv tonberry around the time the shadower popped.)

Said Creeper is definately a PH, it popped off it lol.

I was right! sorta >.>

edit: 100% Confirmed. not only does the shadower and the Creeper share a spawn, the NM can pop directly off the Creeper. popped it in 10minutes of starting.
has the usually new NM rap. Hits extremely hard and has movement speed+ It was a nin mob, but oddly enough it didnt use utsusemi. just debuffs.

[deralore]

:D 1/4 Goaftrap
0/2 Goblintrap so far, to many people camping it also that can pull faster than me

[EternalSnow]

Anyone camped the timeworn warrior nm yet in xarc? I'm trying to figure out the exact place holders and where it pops exactly.. wiki isn't too specific when it says two warriors to the right.

[Despain]

:D 1/4 Goaftrap

Sub WAR and just stand in the middle of the quadrant where the PH pops. Goblintrap does not pop anywhere else but in that square. I've only lost claim once, and that was because I was /RNG, and some dumbass was camping right on top of me.

PH pops every 5 minutes, so.. GL.

[Xenora]

Some more info on Rogue Receptacle;

Ive been after this cape for about 48 hours now, I can confirm its PH ALWAYS pops either inside the NM room (N-9 Lower Floor) or in the room directly above it, nowhere else.

Also this NM does NOT have a max pop time of 4 hours as previously suggested, it is a complete lottery, data as follows;

1st pop, killed PH for 3hr50min
2nd pop, (was up when I went to camp him assuming someone died/HPd)
3rd pop, Killed PH for 2hr50min
4th pop, Killed PH for 2hr30min
5th pop, Killed PH for 13hr20min and nearly lost my mind
6th pop, Killed PH for 5hr10min

*Everytime I killed NM I immediately began killing PH every 16min; I am currently assuming it might be a 2hr~ window after death before it can repop.

I am currently 0/6, every kill with TH4

[iamthegame]

I've killed Chonchon 4 times in the last 2 days got the drop 3 times. I've seen Chonchon pop at exactly 1hr after its window opened, 90mins after its window opened. I know its window opens 30mins after it was last killed. Can Chonchon pop before the 1hr mark after its window opens?

[Cele]

Camped Hyakinthos now for 48 hours, without losing a track of any death either if I claim, other claim, or just check timestamp log when I was asleep, and 0 drops. Seriusly, 0 drops in 48 hours for a 1:30~2h lolNM is working as intended?

Yeah I'm QQing.

So, confirmed it is indeed zergable. That really is so awesome. Should make this more feasible for groups, being that it is considered quite hard otherwise.

Could suck though if an intermittent perfectdodge were to go off. Did you guys notice holy circle actually being indeed useful during the zerg?

Have you been killing this solo on THF/NIN? I was just wondering how difficult the NM is. Would a THF/NIN with healing NPC be good enough to take it out?

[urat]

Im pretty sure these NMs were itnroduced to be killed for the evolith stuff, but instead of just giving you a yayyyy you killed NM you got points, SE gave us some half decent to pretty awesome drops along with it.

Im guessing once the evolith system is introduced you'll be killing these NMs for the points, and the rare drop will be a neat little bonus to go along with your stones.

[Souj]

Killed Hoar again. roughly 4 hours after last death. I wasnt killing any PHs between then. left after 1st death, came back, killed 4 rounds of PH for pop. 0/2 with TH4.
Its a huge pain in the ass to carby kite. Little too weak shits keep linking.
It has very high ACC and double attacks and/or triple attacks.
