FFXI New NMs 11/9/09

[Masamune]

Can someone prove me wrong on my asumption of:

Each Ring from a set is dropped from 2 differents new NMs belonging to same family (same for ears)

I don't remember from which NMs the Lava/Dasra pair drop from ? Are they discovered and if yes which family are they ?

1/2 popped after 2~~hours last night and exactly 90min today

What's the shortest repop reported on Marquis Sabnock?
Any idea on drop rate? @_@

Took nearly 2 hrs for me to repop him a second time. First time I killed it, it was already up. I've heard people saying its gone to 4 hrs. Its pure lotto.

Going to call it a night for now. Here's my findings on Centipedal Centruroides so far: (check attachment for reference)

There are 18 Mountain Scolopendrids scattered around the eastern side of the map, south of the spine. I've labeled the main clusterings of them as A through I, each with a different number of Scorps in that grouping. I've killed each scorpion in groups A through D (9 of the 18 scorpions) twice with no pop of CentCent yet. Note that on group B you have to use one of the cliff-traversing towers to get to both pops and that Group A is a little bit spread out.

If anyone's interested in trying to kill any of the group E through I scorpions to see if the NM'll pop of those, feel free to use this map as a reference to where the Scolopendrids spawn. When I get back to this I'll start up again at E and work my way back around to A, and just keep making the rounds until I either get it to pop or someone else figures out exactly which group has the PH in it.

Good luck! ._.;

Looks like someone confirmed Cassandra earring dropping from Blighting Brand, weapon type NM @ sauromugue present.

i'm 0/6 so far...

My bet for other paried earring (Helenus) is on either the weapon @ Batallia Down, or the one @ Xarcabard.

[Masamune]

Erm guys, a friend just reported me he killed Okyupete and Sengann 2 times each, but the weird thing he is reporting me is:

he didnot get exp yesterday from both of them, but today he did get 50exp from Sengann, and 70exp from Okyupete (no drops btw) on his bst75.
Note: Sengann almost killed his CC today, while yesterday CC soloed him with ease o.O
Same with Okyupete lot better accuracy/power, my friend had to use another CC to finish him o.O

I also read on Blighting brand NM discussion page @ wiki that someone fought but were lot more harder o.O

Do new NMs have a large range of levels possible (55-74) or something else ?

[Despain]

I wouldn't say they have a wide level range. For me they've all been pretty consistent in difficulty. Sengann only killed me once because I was /RNG, no shadows, and couldn't use bolts to drain HP back on m THF. He was still ridiculously easy though. Going after Okyupete when I get home today... definitely interested in what he's got to drop.

I've stopped Eyegouger atm >.> some Gimpo sporting AF and Denali body showed up >.< he's THF/RNG, and due to the Nms large radius has an advantage =<

Still no drop on Eyeg though, 0/6 now... giving up for now...

[Masamune]

i wasnot talking specifically about the "difficulty", but lot more about their actual level, since same NM one day would earn some exp, and next day = 0 exp.... How to explain that ?

I always thought pretty much EVERY NM in Vanadiel had FIXED level before this update ?

False. Its always been known that some NMs can pop at a higher or lower level. There's no such thing as "fixed" level when talking about any mob or NM in this game.

Any info on whats required to pop Blighting Brand? I'm assuming Lotto? You know its pos? I'm willing to camp the one in Sauromugue to confirm that it actually dropped. Until I see a screenshot of the drop, I'm not convinced :/

According to wiki and as far as I can tell it's a lotto pop off of the 2 RDM Weapons. One is on the farthest spine south, and the other is the next spine north.

[Masamune]

Well... i wasnot convinced me too either, but several facts made me think that NM should drop HIGHLY the ear:
- RDM type mob, for an ear with both Maccu MaB
- CassandraEar posted @ wiki as potential drop, but under verification tag (so that means someone already might have got a drop) (that was last week)
- this morning new comment on NM discussion page states dropped indeed Cassandra ear.
- this afternoon some JP rdm who can't talk a single word of english camped against me @ same spot.

all infos you asking are already @ wiki, except repop i would say at least 2hr, and can be as long as 3hr+ ...

Btw Prankster Maverick @ BatalliaDown just dropped Volant belt, so that leave only Barbaric Weapon @ Xarcabard for Helenus Ear (GL on that one, heard horrible wipe stories on him ...)

[Corrderio]

Man I got a lot of work to do from the sounds of it, need to get 4 drops.

With fucking horrid drop rates -.-
bet if I switch off thf to sam, I'll go 1/1.

[Shinrasin]

Got our asses handed to us by Elatha. Hit me for well over 370+ to make it worst it had way better armor did i did and it cooler looking >.<

[Tahona]

Any ideas on the minimum level a drg/mage could kill the headlong belt NM or if that is even a possibility?

[Argettio]

Any one over 70 can kill it (probably 65+ could do it)

It gives no exp to a lvl 75, so it must be less that lvl 65.
