FFXI New NMs 11/9/09

[Despain]

Also, re-pop time on belladonna has been reported by some friends to be 1 hr 15min's ish, and it's lottery supposedly. I'd imagine it's probably 1hr, and then lottery from there.

Thank God. I'll start camping this thing tomorrow.

Also about Marquis. Without a proper heal, that NM can be brutal. It spams Quadrastrike, so shadows are pretty much null. Also if it manages to hit you, it drains some of your TP. It also seems to have Regain. Either way, he spams the fuck out of Quadrastrike. As THF with a WHM heal, I had no problems.

We're gonna go camp this thing again tomorrow. We're assuming its lottery pop, since a friend on Quetz went down there, killed a few demons, and it popped shortly after. Really wanna get my hands on an astrolabe :/

Killed Sargas in Achasm, scorpion NM with auto Shock spikes. It has add effect stun on some hits and the stun from spikes proc a lot. Shock spikes damage was about 40 per hit. Did 0 TP moves the whole fight and dropped nothing.

Edit: pops right outside the tunnel as if heading to Tiamat by the other scorps in that "pit". Those scorps don't aggro to Lv75, however Sargas aggroes to sneak.

Repop for me so far seems to be 1 1/2 - 2hours, pure time spawn.

Boompadu on RDM/NIN took 52 minutes.

Really wasn't too hard... immune to paralyze, bind, gravity, slightly resistant to posion, Bio II always hit for 2 damage initially, average Blizzard III was 28 with the occasional 100-225. Fairly resistant to Slow II, DA rate wasn't 100% but felt decent, also had slightly low accuracy and missed me easily 10 times over the course of the fight. No draw in surprisingly, figured I would have to straight tank at spawn but attempted pulling to porter on a whim. Felt like he had some kind of increased TP gain from spells rather than Auto-Regain, as just a few bio IIs was enough to cause him to attempt to use a WS on me.

I've been at Belladonna for 2hrs and no pop yet. :/

[Despain]

There a way we can edit the OP to where it lists all of the NMs discovered, with notable drops? These are a lot of NMs :/

[Callisto]

Boompadu is the best mob name in the game

[phrost]

Slipper Sucker, Qufim South beach, hits for 100~120 on naked THF75,

[Despain]

Nope, Slippery Sucker is.

[montgomery]

Knussknacker wants to have a talk with you guys.

[Devinry]

Water spells work well on Boompadu (aren't most acroliths weak to water?). Was seeing 300-400 Water IIIs as opposed to the horrid Blizz IIIs.

Also, got an Aptant of Aecus ("equality") drop from Sargas, the scorp NM in chasm in case that hasn't been reported.

[Despain]

Going to sleep. I had fun finding these NMs though... probably one of the best updates in a long time imo. I expect this thread to be at page 20+ by tmmw D:

[Langly]

Killed Flockbock no drops. 140 exp to 6 people.

Not sure if this has been said anywhere, but going from my group has seen only one NM can be up in a zone at once. Anyone else starting to notice this? even if there are multiple nm's that do pop in the zone only one has been up at once for the past 23 nm's we have done

Untrue. We had both the Crawler's Nest mobs up at once. Both on widescan.

Some idiot did aggro and depop the fomor there, before we fought the sapling, but they were definitely both up at the same time.

Just fought this, its like its meant to be killed via smn/bst.
57 xp between 7 people in 3 alliance, no drop.

Despite its firepower, it lacks much in the ways of defense.

99% sure Vampyr NM and Boompadu were up at the same time, unless Boompadu spawned in the two minutes it took me to run to that side after dying to and depopping the vampyr.

[Dimmauk]

Btw, the pornstar Belladonna used to play FFXI. I know the NM was probably named after the toxic plant, but its kind of a funny coincidence.

They were both up. We killed them back to back.

[thetruepandagod]

kk guess it was just us, seriously been happening in every zone for us.
