FFXI New NMs 11/9/09

[Toshiko]

So it can be kited? Hmm... might go out there on COR D: I'm neglecting camping these new NMs because competition for them is fucking ridiculous.

its easy to kite around a tower in xarc, but you have to be careful or you will deaggro it. If you're by yourself its good, if you have competition it's bad. But it's easy to kill overall.

0/4 Barbaric Weapon, 0/5 Lizardtrap, 0/2 Kamuy now -_-

edit: killed kamuy at 8:10 tonight and it didnt repop til 1:20, after i started killing placeholders at about 10:45. Respawn window might be longer then 2hrs, or just unlucky with lotto pops. But I got the drop, 1/3, no TH. Thanks Havok

[Auspice]

It's pathing is pretty terrible. I kited it around one of the rocks north of the OP but like someone said above it'll deaggro A LOT; usually once every 2 laps.

[Havok]

Just did Vasiliceratops duo, rdm/nin sch/nin. If you pull to the bridge at F-13 it's incredibly easy to deaggro through the water over and over. Very dangerous to not deaggro it though, it can kill you quickly. No more than 15k HPs; took about 30 min just doing bio>deaggro>nuke>deaggro>bio>deaggro over and over.

and 1/1 with no TH

[N3AND3RTHAL]

Anyone here killed Euryale yet? I'm assuming pull to a zone and zone/nuke?

[Falaras]

So I really want to kill Nis Puk but the wiki isn't very specific, is it a lotto off Puks at MMJSP or will it just spawn every couple hours or what? Any info would be nice.

[Maguile]

Anyone have tips/strategies for Morille Mortelle?

[CubsWoo]

Anyone have tips/strategies for Morille Mortelle?

Someone posted a strat for PUP to solo it, basically nuke with Spiritreaver -> Deactivate -> DoT -> kite until it deaggros -> Activate -> repeat until dead. Haven't tried it yet but it seems easy enough as long as you have Hermes or another movement+ piece.

[Meian]

Hazmat only spawns from the I-11 Explosures, not including the ones north of it on the left right? Stingy thing didn't spawn for almost 8 hours and just went to bed afterwards >> 0/8 on it too

[psycho 4 life]

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

Smolenkos
Kindred Warrior

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 rememebre the last person talking about it had no luck, aiming for those 2 molech, I had the same results.

i tried to pop this also with a friend was killing the 2 or the 1 you pointed out to be PH's but nothing all day yesterday, so today i went up there as RNG and it seems the 2 pointed out are not close to the slop they are to the left and round back once facing up the slop @ F-5, don't have help to kill yet so i'll try to kill them later.

[Thorny]

Popped magnotaur farming dark spirit pacts, got it to 91% with fully geared THF + gimpy RDM mule. Hits for about 180 on THF without protect or anything special for defense, is a MNK mob as expected and has a high DA rate for frequent 4-attack rounds. Accuracy is pretty average, I got about 70% evade rate without any evasion buffs, but with Blind.. seems to favor back swish and triclip over other TP moves, though obviously 9 tp moves is a poor sample size. Tons of hp, died to a back swish for more than my max hp(with one shadow up still too). /b/lackup incoming, will give update when it's dead. The placeholder is the first of the 2 assumed PH molechs. Bind, Gravity, and Sleep do not seem to stick, though I'll have my friend test when he gets here(fully geared rdm vs my naked mule with hq staffs but no merits gear or capped skill).. Slow, Paralyze, and Blind stuck easily on mule.

The placeholder popped a fair bit south of where magnotaur did, but 100% sure it pops from that ph.

Edit:
Well, at least placeholder is nailed down --;

Thorny was your friend able to get Bind, Gravity, and Sleep to stick?

[Thorny]

He was not. We also observed it hitting up to 5 times per round, the fifth being a kick for about double it's normal melee damage. I would recommend any melee attempt use a charybdis strategy, seems very similar in strength from almost all aspects.. probably very easy duo for RDM/NIN x2 nuking, had about 10k hp but very high defense.

[Scritch]

Anyone have tips/strategies for Morille Mortelle?

Now that I have gone 1/7 on Mortelle, I finally feel I can give away information on him without screwing myself over.

I solo/duo/trio/ect'd him on COR. Near the entrance to Nest, in the sack room there's a set of stairs. If you run up these stairs and hug the right wall you'll find the circular kite path. Its pretty easy to solo on COR, your main enemy will be the Campaign Quadavs who'll block your path, otherwise it's a standard Quick Draw kite method. Movement speed is a must for any job attempting to lowman him. If you have at least two people, run in opposite
directions on the track so you can meet up in the middle.

RDM can kill him with DoT/nuke/kite even with only 8% movement dragon pants. Presumably BLM and SCH can do the same. I'd recommend you sub NIN no matter what you go out there as though, he hits really really hard. I haven't tried that PUP strategy, but it'd probably work. Detailed guide on lolAlla.

Another serious problem with this NM is he deaggros easily. Don't even bother if you have competition, they WILL jack it because you will lose claim unless you have like an alliance there and are trying to straight tank him. Alternatively just jack it back from them, because they'll lose claim too.


Other stuff about him: Microspore can get rid of any DoTs on him and transfer to you (be careful if you're using Helices). Dark Spore does serious 900-1k+ damage, but seems to do less damage the farther you are away from him when he uses it so just keep running.

He can respawn as early as 2 hours, but two days ago he didn't pop once... not sure what's up with that.

Alternative Strategy: Drag him to the zone and zone/nuke him. If you have a THF and a BLM you can do it this way and you might not even lose claim. BLM zone/nukes, and the THF always stays in the zone. Except for Dark Spore he has serious trouble hitting THFs, so you can kite him while the BLM zones and regens MP. The more nukers you can get the better this'll work.

been killing magnotaur PH for 5hr's now we been kill the 2 Molech plus other mobs that kindred's that pops there and still no magnotaur, have me thinking someone have timer and it might have a 8+hr's repop time b/c i've been there since 8am and noone have been around that posiition

[Karbuncle]

For the Magnotaur, Is the placeholder a Demon or one of the Taur up there?

Said it popped while farming Dark Spirit pacts so i was just curious.. because "Hovering Hotpot" pops off surrounding Skeleton so its not too far fetched.

Rom3/2/115.dat

marks placeholder, and I was farming spirit but also killed the mob I believed to be placeholder based on .dat(which is a molech). Magnotaur popped instead of it in less than 30 minutes.

[Kiyara]

Finally got Ignamoth to pop on Diabolos server. I can confirm that he is a lotto pop off the surrounding Wamouras that roam around C-6/C-7. Wasn't avery hard to fight to kite but the adds are atrocious. Posted the info on wiki if you care to see. Didn't drop anything but crystals so still unknown what his drop is.

We popped him at ThF,mnk,rdm. Got wooped. I went back and changed to blm and kited him to zone. Did nuke/zone method and beat him only to get crystals also.

Spurrer beret 1/5

Morille Mortelle takes anywhere from 2-4 hours to spawn after it's killed, but it's a lottery pop off the last sapling leading to the bomb room (random, I know) so could take longer. Solo'd it as PUP/RDM. When it popped, used automaton to pull b/c of bombs in room. Use nuke/deactivate method and all hate is lost. Stick dia2 on it, then run for your life until it deaggros. Nuke/deactivate again, wait for dia to wear off, reapply dia, rinse, repeat. I used the main loop around the campaign battle area to kite with no problem. Stoneskin/Blink are recommended but if you cast from max range it shouldn't be a problem. Oh I had movement speed so if you don't, kiting it to the zone line and zoning after each dia can work too.

[NynJa]

Friend told me not to post till he got his, since when Chi mentioned the Beret, there were active campers at CN-S, and didnt want to risk it.

Wamoura Prince
Wamoura
Wamoura <-PH
Wamoura
Ignamoth
Phasma
Wamoura Prince

drops Octant, pops at D-6, Uses Erratic Flutter and Fire Break for pretty heavy damage. Zone-nuke be careful due to Wamouras magic detection.


Found this on Firedance, can someone translate?
