Anyone know about how long a mob that "disapears" due to disapoint will respawn?

**Corrderio** · 2009-11-11 20:35

I think some people said it respawned shortly after it disappeared.

I found a very likely spawn area for Goblintrap in East Ronfaure [S]. It hasn't died once since at least last maintenance, since I'm not picking up its deadbody elsewhere. I hope to God it doesn't have some bizarre pop condition, and doesn't get as bad as the horror stories I've heard about the Cradle Horn NM. If this one doesn't pop soon, I'll just head to Aydeewa and hunt the trap there.

EDIT: Theres about a dozen battraps in this area. I walked all around the zone seeing if I could pick something up, and nothing... so I'm banking on this being the right spot.

Normal spawn timer, as if it had been killed.

Just finished with Kotan-kor Kamuy.

Things I noticed was it popped from the group of Hippogryphs on the east side of G-7. Only uses Jettatura and Hoof Volley. Does Hoof Volley seconds after using Jettatura and can one shot paper tanks w/o shadows up. Can be stunned. The RDM/DRK that helped me managed to get the timing to stun most of the Hoof Volleys. Slow 2 and Paralyze 2 land and paralyze 2 does proc. Gravity and Bind resisted.

Has fairly high evasion, needed to feint + auspice to hit regularly w/o sushi. Does not depop disappointed if you die to it, just wanders back to the general area it spawned in and roams like the other hippogryphs. Does deaggro easy especially if you run him through water. His accuracy doesn't seem all that great but he hits like a truck if he catches you with out shadows. Missed me quite a bit on thf w/o any eva gear except a few accessories I toss on for casting shadows.

I also noticed apparently server maintenance resets its spawn timer. I tried after the emergency maintenance for a total of 5 hours, more then 4 hours after it had ended, and it wouldn't pop. Today, well more then 24 hours after maintenance had ended, I popped it after about an hour of slaughtering the hippos in G-7.

The first attempt I tried was thf/nin rdm/whm and whm/sch trio. Took it all the way to Witchfire Glen since I wasn't aware the Sidhe fail and don't cure <.<; I got hosed on thf by hoof volley.

Second attempt I had still thf and whm and had the rdm swap to nin/dnc and got a rdm/drk. Worked well with 2 blinks and a stun.

Can probably easily duo this with thf or nin + rdm/drk. Trio or more is most likely the safest bet though.

I'm 0/1 so far on the horn /sadpanda

That can't be. On some servers, that NM was already up immediately after the update. Some people got it to spawn within just a few kills. I remember someone saying roughly 6? hippos, and it popped. Unless there's a difference between an update and a maintenance that I'm not aware of in terms of NM spawn timers.

**requim** · 2009-11-11 20:55

Nice theory, but no. Hyakinthos is a Mandragora, and Dynast Beetle is well, a beetle.

Was that implying that the ring and earrings pair with each other for the set bonuses? Because I thought you matched the items with the same set bonus.

I could just as easily have had bad luck with it. But i know for a fact that my kill today was the first since the emergency maintenance on our server. So its not like I missed it.

It was probably just sleeping in yesterday after maintenance was over

No. I was completely getting confused with 2 separate pieces of equipment that don't go with one another. And you do match the items with the same set bonuses... wouldn't make much sense if it didn't work that way.

More on Eyegouger, He has a huge ass Spawning Range it seems, and the placeholder is still unknown.

He can spawn on the hills on either of the little "Valley" at I/J-8/9. ON your map it looks like this (M is mountain)

--HILL
M ------ M
M --------- M
M -------- M
-----HILL

He can spawn on either of the 2 hills, and inbetween the two hills in the valley there.

I would kill every bird around or on those hills, i've got him to pop reliably within 1 hour of camping every time with this method, no drop still =<

**Despain** · 2009-11-11 21:20

Yeah this Goblintrap NM refuses to spawn... ffsgfdi/hate

Im camping the Weapon NM inbetween eyegouger ._. i wish i could just get a drop for once.

i do have Mandra Scales, and Lineadach... however, both have words like "Brass" and "Linen" that make me think "3k items"

anyone else find "Hoar-knuckled rimberry" hilarious? Its a Rimjob whoreberry ;;

**Rugazanami** · 2009-11-11 21:26

Has anyone been able to fight Canal Moocher in Toraimarai? I've been killing Bouncing Balls on and off through the day, and haven't seen it pop. I have a good suspicion that this NM drops Bloodbead Gorget (HP+60).

You might be on to something here, considering it would make perfect sense. Vorax drops Bloodbead Amulet. Bloodsucker drops Bloodbead Ring... hmmm.. Keep at it, I haven't heard a word about this NM so I can't halp

EDIT
@karbuncle: Yeah I feel you, but just keep going at it. I've gotten considerably lucky on these NMs. Consider my Virtuouso Belt to be the best thing I've gotten. Curiousity's kicking my ass though. I really want to find out what drops Wilhelm's Earring -.-

**Karbuncle** · 2009-11-11 21:46

Friend says he found a bat NM in Garlaige (S), named "Citadel Pap(Something)" he couldn't recall i guess, says it wasn't listed.

don't know much bout it

also, The Weapon NM in batallia, i'm assuming it spawns in the only spot weapons spawn >.>? near the Spine by Ahtu island...?

Yup, thats the one D:

Edit: Going to sleep for now, will finish Eyegouger tomorrow hopefully =<

Bit late to the party but where and how difficult is the nm that drops the smn skill belt? Couldn't find info on him when I checked wiki

**matt4684** · 2009-11-11 22:11

Fuck me this took forever to organize and read just about every damn thing. Probably missing a few things as well. Feel free to stick this somewhere so I don't have to read another 50 "Is there a list of these %^&*ing things?" again

Spoiler: show
