FFXI New NMs 11/9/09

**Despain** · 2009-11-11 22:13

It'd be nice to send an email to someone on wiki to add in all of this information. Most of it is already on there, but they're still missing quite a bit of info. Would be nice to have it on wiki, rather than having to surf this thread over and over to find info about a certain NM.

**Meian** · 2009-11-11 22:18

Thx for the info Matt. Just need to find the new destroyers for PUP XD

Spoiler: show

thanks for the compilation! Just a note though, I think someone pointed out that the Boompah thing in the Undersea Ruins is not immune to para/bind/grav/slow etc, there were others who managed to enfeeble it successfully.

**chiyio** · 2009-11-11 22:35

Maybe it time to hunt down the other 2 trap NM's.

Lamina Information Needed Rolanberry Fields (S) (I-5) Kusha's Ring
Hyakinthos Information Needed Sauromugue Champaign (S) (H_10) Lava's Ring

I'm getting compilated info from

Woops! I'll edit that out. 30 pages were a lot of reading.

Also I know I missed it, but what zone does the Dynast beetle pop in so I can add him and his ring?

Just killed a Tainted Flesh NM behind Garlaige Citadel gate #2 named Frogamander. Was already up when we got there. Spams Whip Tongue, has En-Paralyze. Hits a little hard, but very easy kill for SAM/WAR, RDM, WHM trio.

No drop.

So far I've soloed Peaseblossom, Tiffenotte and Melusine on my Dnc - even without evasion or CP merits the fights wern't too bad... good timing with stuns and shadows is key to survival lol. In any case...

Peaseblossom - Spawn time is 2 hours, easy to get to since shes pretty much right next to where you spawn when getting a CA warp to gustaberg. It won't spawn until 17:00 even after the 2 hours are up. Seems to like spawning on the top of the hill near the cliff side. Perhaps the least threatening of the 3 found so far - lasts the longest due to use of Autumn Breeze and even so that only restores like 2-3% hp total... Her TP move Zephyr Spear is *really* innacurate and even if it hits, its just a knockback effect. Need to be careful of her Aeroga III. Otherwise, casts Aero IV, Tornado and Choke. Extremely stingy - 0/8 on her.

Tiffenotte - Has the least damaging spells - Casts Holy, Flash and Banishga II. Doesn't even cure herself even though she seems to be Light based. Even banishga seems to only do around 3-400. Spring Breeze reduces TP and puts you to sleep, but only seems to cut it by about 30-50 or so. Worst move by far is Lethe Arrows - seems innacurate like Zephyr Spear but gives you bind and amnesia which is the worst as a Dancer. Thankfully doesn't silence you though. 1/2 Ebon Pigment on her - I'm gunna assume from everybody elses data that all 3 fairies have a chance to drop any of the 3 pigments.

Melusine - By far the worst and most dangerous solo. Only beaten her once so far. Spawns K-5ish at the top of East Ronfy [S] near the giant spiders. Unlike her sisters, her seasonal move Winter Frost is *very* accurate - I haven't even seen it miss yet. It dispells and stuns, and then usually casts Blizzaga III which hurts alot - about 1260 unresisted and unshelled. One smack from her after that is usually enough to kill you - save your stuns for Blizzaga not Winter Frost. Other than that uses Blizzard IV and thats it. Got nothin from her on my 1 win. If yer gunna try soloing this atleast try and get Shell from somebody beforehand.

SO yeah, thats my recon on the 3 season fairies in Gustaberg [S] Sarutabaruta [S] and Ronfaure [S]. Any chance theres a fairy that spams Summer Breeze and uses fire spells?

WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD UP

Im not sure these token things are anythign at all to do with psynergy.

This almost looks like the trophy hunt system from FF12, run around hunting rare NMs, kill for trophy, return to some NPC and every n amount of trophies you get a reward...

I dunno, these tokens really just dont seem anythign like the evolith system which had the actual evolith stones. These look like somethign entirely different... I also don't see why SE would introduce these tokens almost a month ahead of the acutal use...

Would our dat mining find a new NPC thats added, or see any change? IE did we find out about things like ANNMs through dat mining or just someone runnign by, clicking an NPC and finding otu about it? Its not exaclty listed under quests so it wouldnt pop up there...

Just some more info on this NM

Chelicerata:
-about 10% movement speed, was able to just gain ground wearing skadi boots as COR
-perma hate on aggro like others mentioned
-will instantly deaggro if you go past about 20'
-roughly 9k HP
-has en-slow on attacks, didn't notice any other effects when it hit me
-hits for 200-230ish on COR/NIN

If you want to solo, treat it like Chigre: get it to some corners to gain enough ground for dots/QD/etc

Shibayama · 2009-11-11 23:28

Might just be a coincidence but if you look at the ebur/furia/ebon armor in MV or AV you can see metallic button things that look exactly like the Aptants - Namely the belt of the melee armor and the elbows of the tank armor.

**BerenTebogo** · 2009-11-11 23:31

Any word on Thrakon Breastplate?

**SargentRemora** · 2009-11-11 23:36

Just spent 4 hours 50 in between pops for Ramponneau, no drop making me 0/4 >.>
I swear frogs have a vendetta against me

Ugh you're an idiot! SE has released many things before they had ANY use, this wouldn't be the first. Nyzul weapons, anyone?

also, fuck you for making me bust my 1k cherry on a stupid post like this.

edit: You also realize that you would be contradicting your hypothesis just by making that statement because the other system that does involve those isn't out yet either, right?

Ya, lets find this! I've been looking all over for it but there is a lot of higher up stuff I can't solo. Right now i'm looking at this: Centipedal Centruroides. It seems to be a lotto from the Mountain Scorpions in M.Mountains [S]. Their PH con VT to me. Anyone get him to pop or a drop?

**chiyio** · 2009-11-11 23:49

The Lizardtrap starts casting Blizzaga3.. 1224 no shell

Also casted paralyga while I was trying to run on alt. Seems to cast every 15-20 sec too.

Fucked around on alt, casts Blizz4 also, cant bind, cant grav. Dealt 397 blizz3, 423 thunder 3, was down to 89%, means its roughly 8k xp. Could probably zerg it with sam + rdm/drk 2hr's.

Unless of course the system IS out but you need a token to initiate it, which could also be a ANNMesque system that wouldn't be found in the dats because there is no quest or mission for it.

So lets say the npc is a already existing one in the game somewhere who got the stuff added to him, but no one really scans dats for entire npc messages so we wouldn't notice this.

There is no quest for it so that doesn't show up either, thus all we have are these tokens dropping rarely off NMs all over the place. A persn would need to have one in their inventory before talking to the right npc.

My main reason for thinking this is simply because the evolith system revolves around Evolith Stones, not these tokens we're getting

SE even gave us SSes of the stones and armor, the furnace, etc etc, so why the hell were these tokens, which clearly if part of the system are an extremely important part, not mentioned even briefly in the notes?

Maybe we trade in these tokens for evolith stones somehow, but I'm pretty sure I recall reading that the stones will be dropped off nms.

Also, there are only 12 tokens. I'm pretty sure there are a lot more than 12 2 hours in the game, stats, base stats, stat augments, and skills in the whole game than that.

Thus, I'm pretty sure these tokens either have a use we have not found out yet, or dont have a use but are entirely separate from psynergy.

Im not saying for sure this is hunting trophies, just that it was kinda similar and it'd be cool if it was. I understand you like to pick fights for whatever reason, maybe it makes you feel like all the awesome information you hold in ffxi is actually useful and makes you feel like a man, I dunno.

But seriously what even slight connection do these tokens have to psynergy? At all? They have titles that sound kind of like stats? I dunno.

**Nishida** · 2009-11-12 00:00

Any theories on the magic acc/atk earring NMs? I was thinking possibly the weapon NMs but not sure.

**urat** · 2009-11-12 00:04

No clue, try to look for a pair of NMs with related names that pop in close by areas.

As for the pair of acc/att rings that may or may not drop off these lycos, is anyone who has camped lamina, or tried to, able to guess at whether this mob is a lottery or timed spawn like its twin?

**Viq** · 2009-11-12 00:05

When did they add a P to Synergy?

**urat** · 2009-11-12 00:09

I played a lot of golden sun when I was younger XD
