Clearly you can't read. My entire post was about people being dicks for no reason and acting like they have no choice but to try and screw over as many people as they can to get what they want. Good for them that they claimed and killed a mob while I wasn't dedicating 100% my time to it. There is nothing wrong with that. My issue is people that run the mob away from camp like greedy little kids running with their toys. What the fuck at that shit, lol

because killing at the spot someone is AFK'ing at, giving yourself more competition during its next window if/when it doesn't drop is a FANTASTIC idea. derp.

well that is a good point, but then what do you care if they are AFK to begin with, or you think that they are afk. I guess we should just assume that everyone who is at a camp is afk and using tools of some sort for getting tods or claiming. I guess I just didn't realize this was such serious business that we needed to do that or else we wouldn't get what we wanted, my bad.

again, knowing how shitty these NM droprates are, some retard is standing idle for 3 hours camping against me, i claim, you can bet your ass i'd drag it away. more often than not you won't get the drop. it's moronic to stand there and let that other person get ToD to camp against you next time. It's common sense. You have to assume they're running a program or somesuch. You want to slam your dick in a cardoor by being a boyscout and letting everyone get tod, that's your call. just don't come in here with a leaky vag and expect sympathy.

[Phraust]

Yeah... Could you be even more ironic please? Your brand is so delicious! I must have more! SO you're pissed at the "Greedy little kid" because you're a "Lazy little kid"? Maybe he's pissed at doing all the footwork and having freeloaders that don't pay as much attention as him benefiting from his work? If you're going to be a lazy fuck and not pay attention, why should you be rewarded? Expecting rewards for other peoples' work? That's greed, and that makes you a hypocrite.

And just cause you seem like the type to get really really pissed at this shit, I just want you to know I pull NMs out of thier spawn zones all the time MWAHAHAHA! And just so you know I'm not just saying that to piss you off, I do other shit too, like I just /random until my own log is full at places like Eastern Shadow and Argus!

Oh, I'm not expecting sympathy at all. Like I said, if they claim over me because I'm distracted, more power to them. I was just looking for some insight as to why anyone would want/need to do that especially when it was done wrong to begin with. I could easily assume if it had just been killed or not by their hp% so in the end it seemed like a useless cause. I'm not really upset about it and not easily jarred anyhow, I thought however that it was childish since it was obvious I wasn't AFK to begin with and when I mentioned it, it was only the two of us camping. I didn't and to some extent, still don't see the point. If there were more people camping, sure.

Thats awesome, I woke up, saw 15 new posts in here, figured there was some information about the new NM's, and instead its someones leaky vag crying cause someone wont cater to their afkness. Can we limit the remainder of this thread to NEW information? We all know at this point these new NM's have shittarded drop rates, theres no point in posting it.

Eh was hoping for someone to say Lizardtrap doesn't drop anything after being nearly 0/20 and this other guy bring 0/10... but guess not ._. drama in the morning isn't too bad though

[Pergo]

To get things back on track, I have a couple questions...

Is there any more info on Graoully? I've searched the thread and can't seem to find anything. Wiki has it listed as a Gargoyle, but when you goto the actual page, it's a dragon. Says it spawns at H-10, but there is no H-10 in xarcabard. I looked through the whole zone , and specifically the area the page describes, the area around it's mob ID, I can't find traces of it or it even being killed.

Also, to people who have fought Zinitria and Scylla, what would be the minimum people required to take em down (no relics).

Thanks!

Scylla is very easy. You can control his TP so he's not too mean and when he's in spam mode he just uses the same thing over and over and just gotta focus really then. Debuffs land easily. I'm sure like 3-4 ppl can kill him if they use a kite method. Personally I'd just take 6-8 with SMN as your main DD and kill it. His intimidation gets annoying.

Zinitria is a pain in the ass honestly. You want 2 tanks possibly a 3rd in a back up role. Reason being cause of his throat stab movie. Again with some very very well skilled players can probably take down with 8-10. I believe we've done it with 12 without much issue. The biggest key is him not spamming stupid TP moves and controlling his TP with nukes or smn only. The lower he gets the quicker he uses TP moves and any melee can cause him to go ape shit. Especially a Ranger.

[Tonberrry]

(Ethniu)~so this thing has to be zerged with a full alli? like a group of 9-10 well geared people (brd cor thf sam sam sam samx2 drk rdm/drk)


I saw someone mention something about Mahishasura,

went 1/3 on Veuglaire for my brother i don't think the marid is an 18hr repop im pretty sure its 1-4. The PH's are the 2 marids close to the tunnel at the (G-8)/(H-7) cutoff, if anything we always got the NM to pop within the first round of PH killing. Anyway the gun is perfect for what we abuse his cor for since he never plans on leveling a mage!

oh also any info on the Octant?!

This. Seriously take this shit elsewhere. I can assure you no one gives a flying fuck. If you're mad someone dragged the mob away, don't go afk. People that go afk while camping a NM are fucking stupid anyway, unless they absolutely have to. If you can't dedicate all your time to it, don't bother coming out. kthxbai

[Souj]

something else I noticed, which I can't 100% confirm atm about Hoar-Knucked Rimberry.
well the 1st is confirmed, it only casts 2 ninjitsu. the paralyze and the ice debuff.
2nd is unconfirmed since I wasnt paying any attention the 2 times I killed it, but it didn't use any TP moves the 3rd time. He might not be able to use them.

[hellstorm]

Tried to pop Hoar-knuckled Rimberry again and the shadower pop is awkward. I sat there killing the 4 tonberries for about 2 hours. nothing. My npc meet it kill requirment so I waited for all 4 berry mobs to pop again then went to change my sub and log on my mage mule. When I came back low and behold there sat the bottom level shadower. Plus all four tonberry were still where they was when I left them. I killed that shadower waited 5 min and another poped killed that one then nothing else popped. Now have to leave for einherjar but will try again later.

[Lanstarr]

has anyone heard/seen anything about spurrer beret? I have been doing searches for it everywhere and cant seem to find any info on it. Anyone seen anyone wearing it around town?

Speculation it's from the Bst NM in mamook near Gul Ja Ja.

Anyone have any info on this NM? I went there last night and killed the Mamool Stablers for 2.5hours~ without anything.

I'm kind of hoping that it doesn't drop it, such a pain to get to that pop spot.

[Hanayaka]

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?

We didn't notice any intimidates as she literally died in 20 seconds, but I imagine the damage dealt by our melees was increased with the new circle effects (why we used it).

Note: She didn't level up once. (I think she levels up from casting buffs on yourself, but all of our buffs were on before engaging). Did not level up when I pulled with Dia 2.

We notice Holy Circle effects a lot on Buarainech though, our Paladins intimidate him quite a bit with it up.

Luckily, no Perfect Dodge went off at all. In fact, I don't even think she attacked due to stun-lock.

So far we have gotten 4/5 of the Fomor fights down with almost failproof strategies.
Tethra: 3 minutes
Elatha: 10 minutes
Buarainech: 15 minutes
Ethniu: 25 seconds
Lugh: Yet to fight!

0/7 on the weapons
1/7 on the armor '~'

Chiyio told you how to pop it, somewhere on 72-74, read hallllllllllllllllo

Killed the dragon with 4ppl. Duo is possible really.

[Hex]

Exploiting his draw in with DoT and running away I'd assume. But you also gotta get lucky when he does get TP he doesn't decide to Draw in and rape you.
