Congrats =), really quick, judging by the difficulty, how many people do you think it would take to take these guys down? minimum.

also, assume i don't know 2-4 Aegis PLDs =<.

been looking at killing the Mithra, i want the dagger >.O

Delicious gloves, delicious

I am actually really happy with the NM update. I thought they were gonna just be lame FOV type poppable NMs. Instead it gives us a SHITTON of stuff to test/try/find which updates in the past have been missing. Kind of gives that old feeling on exploring I had when I first started and then finding a cool random mob up

I agree with this minus the retardedly low drop rates. Aside from that, yeah, win.

[Pirian]

Hate u guys... ours is still no show gratz on the nice gloves though

It wasn't up when we were making our rounds but popped right as we were about to finish 8)

[Lilswitche]

My RDM wants those... someone keel it for me!

Got outclaimed on Goaftrap by some SAM who was just walking by. I need to stop posting on BG >_>'

I'm currently 0/3 on headlong belt...RDM/RNG camp FTL. But what are some of those belts going for on other servers? On shiva it's going upwards of 800k. Also I was wondering how hard the Fomor NM Lugh is? What is the fewest number of ppl you think could kill him?

Ouch, I switched to SMN to test out Favors while waiting on respawns, just killed the third time today for no drop >.<;;

Going to switch back to THF and go afk until next spawn =<

Not sure, took us about 20 minutes so if you have 2hrs I guess you wouldn't need all that many. With so many ppl hard to tell if he has auto-tp or if it's just all the spam. I think it alternated between absorbing magic and melee dmg but honestly no clue b/c I have most of that stuff filtered, all I know is occasionally he would absorb shield bash lol. It used blood weapon 3 times which slowed us down a little, but it really wasn't all that difficult with this many.

Where's this belt dropping from? It looks kinda shiny, but eh. I can imagine people trying to monopolize it.

Cockatrice in MM present from what I've been hearing.

Some timed repop in Meri.Mtn.

0/3 on Goaf, about to go 0/4, due to pop any min.

[Despain]

I really hope Goaf puts out. 0/7 on drop, getting kinda bored, but I'm determined to get this fucking earring, if it really drops from this NM

Kill the Fomor NM inbetween spawns, maybe that cloth will be worth something nice some time >.>;;

Its not 100% at nightime though, just killed on SMN, 1/2 (Killed first time with TH3).

What happened to us was what happened when people fight KB. I.E. 2 players kite KB a PLD and a BLM:

PLD runs KB -> this way
BLM nukes from over here and then runs <- that way
PLD doesn't notice and get's to log/tree
BLM runs over to opposite corner and dies

KB then immediately yellows due to it's next hate target being over a certain distance away (usually 50')

That's what happened to us as melee ran down the hall to TP off yagudos.

Hope that makes sense.

This is actually incorrect. A mob turns yellow when the last person who performed an action on it either: A) Dies B) Zones or C) Disengages.
You can be in the other end of the zone, and the mob will still stay red (until it deaggros of course), if you have the last action on it.

So in your KB case; the BLM's nuke would be the last thing that was done to KB, so when he dies, it goes yellow.

0/4, and I head back to Sacrarium to see if I can pop that bird NM again

[kaisamoht]

Yeah it spawning at F-9 usually about every 70-80 minutes, not lotto it's on a time respawn. Gonna start recamping today hopefully I'll get it. The one time I lost claim this morning a PLD and a DNC beat me and they got the drop. Made me so mad cuz they'd been there for the last 3 spawns I claimed, and they beat me this one time and got the drop.....now they each have 450k lol. No I dont want to sell it either I want it for my RDM and THF since I don't have access to Sacrarium for a swift belt yet.

I meant its 100% pop @ nighttime, from what I've noticed, not drop. I went about 1/4 on the cloth. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry thought I made that clear with the "Blm nukes and runs the other way and dies" line. Obscurity fobscurity. And bad way of describing by me.

Wiki says it only spawns during Dark Weather o .o;

I saw Dark weather but i didn't reach it in time and it switched to Thunder :\
