Don't most mobs that track by scent have an increased chance to drop aggro during rainy weather (not quite like running through water, but close)? The behavior doesn't seem entirely anomalous.

Yes that is how it works.

Anyone know repop time on Zirnitra? Trying to get my Bullet, killed it earlier, can't find any info on it's window. Thanks for replies in advance.

Also, interested in this.

[Velecic]

I'm going to assume it's 4-6hrs until told otherwise, I'll try checking tonight and see if I can see when it pops~ Will post with result.

EDIT : Was up when we went there 4:45 after ToD, so respawn is that or less, safe to presume 4-6hrs probably.

Still after Ignamoth and his stingy ass. Have a feeling it's gonna be like all the other NMs with low ass drop rates. So far I am...

1/2 Goaftrap
1/33 Goblintrap
1/1 Belladonna
1/9 Lamina
1/24 Hyakinthos
0/4 Boll Weevil
0/15 Ignamoth

Seriously SE. These drop rates blow ass.

Is this with TH4? i went 1/6 on Erle, im currently 0/20+ on Goblintrap, god knows why i pain myself with these things.

Odd question anyone on remora regularly kill Oupire or Zirnitra and willing to sell the pigment if it drops? Cant seem to get friends to help and have been soloing the aptant nms. I currently can solo the pld/thf kraken and mnk/war aptant bats and have 25ish synergy so maybe can trade an aptant and help on your synth for the pigment. Though I'm still trying to get the monk one for myself 0/8 on it atm though I've gotten the war/drk aptant in the process. I am wondering if I should keep it in case I level those jobs or is it not worth it. Sorry thats a bit of a two part question.

I can duo oupire with a friend depending what you're offering, though I'm not interested in aptants as I can solo any of that in my sleep. Pigment seems to be high/100% drop from our kills.

Pigment=fairy NMs, easier.

[NynJa]

Pigment=fairy NMs, easier.

I guess he wants Ebon pigment specifically? I dont see why though, unless theres some correlation between etchings and color, its strictly cosmetic.

[Staren]

I've only seen the fairies drop ebon and furia do they really drop ebur too?

[ronin sparthos]

Pigment=fairy NMs, easier.

Except those things have a non existant drop rate whereas the upper tier mobs are 100% :3

Seriously... like 12 kills, 1 ebon pigment.... do the pixies even drop Ebur pigment? I thought it was Ebon/Furia only.

[ringthree]

Just a heads up for anyone planning to fight Aqrabuamelu via kite method...do not fight it during Rainy Weather as its behavior changes to where it will de-aggro every 30 seconds or so. Pulled during rainy weather, kept losing aggro while kiting, so I waited until the weather cleared and pulled and had no issues keeping hate. When I got it down to 13%, rainy weather popped up and it started its trend of de-aggroing again. I've fought this NM many times and this is the first time I've ever seen it exhibit this behavior, and the first time I've fought it during rainy weather.

That is not really a change in behavior. Rainy weather kills tracking by scent. It's like running through water.

It's not strictly cosmetic. Ebon and Furia have opposite elemental patterns for their slots (Light->Dark->Light vs. Dark->Light->Dark). I haven't seen anything reported about the elemental properties for Ebur's slots yet.

Yes this is with TH4 on almost all kills. The drop rate is that pathetic.

[takito09]

Btw since ppl already knows how to make Magnotaur spawn....

Anyone has any idea what he dropps?

[Kiyara]

Finally got Octant to drop off Ignamoth. Took me 24 god damn killls to get it >.>. Here is a screenshot confirming the drop.

[Talli]

i tried a search for any previous posts but could find nothing...

anyone having seriously crappy luck with Goblintrap?

i went 1/40 ish with TH4, friend is currently 0/80 ish. i know the drop rates on most of the new NMs are shite but this seems.... off.
