scorp rehosted again

[Akairyu]

They're VT to me. Been getting 200~ exp per kill if i don't manage to chain them. If nothing else at least this has recapped my SCH buffer and gotten me some limit points :/

[Nightfyre]

Concerning these scorps, what do they con @75?

Mountain Scolopendrids are 77-80, so T-VT?

[Deci]

which zone is it in

I do not know if I just have horrid luck or the droprate of the new NM's are atrociously low, but me and a friend went on a killing spree last night and only got two things to drop. Astaroth Cane and Felling Axe both in KRT. We hunted and successfully killed Eyegouger, the weapon NM in Batallia, Lamina and Hyakinthos twice(and pretty much confirmed both are about 60-120 minute respawn), the Cockatrice Nm in Sauromugue Champaign [S], the lycopodium NM in Batallia Downs [S], and Ankou/Barbastelle in KRT(couldn't find Gwyllgi). For reference we were 68THF/NIN(me), and 75RNG/NIN, so only TH2. Also, am personally 0/3 on Chonchon, I was RDM/RNG for these kills on Chonchon though.

Its already been stated that these NMs have low drop rates... its just bad luck. Even with TH4 I often find myself camping these NMs over and over again for their drops.

Fuck that, get me a belt instead.

Lottery spawn or a timed spawn? :3

[Nitrous24]

Killed Okyupete. No drop. But the PH is Diatryma 1. The first in the list right above the nm.

PH
Diatryma
Diatryma
Diatryma
Mantrap
Mantrap
Mantrap
Mantrap
Okyupete
Air Elemental
Diatryma

is how it would look on widescan. I had change dthe names of all the diatryma in the zone (there's only 10) to find this out. If the post about it dropping shepard's chain is true i'm done. Maybe someone else can confirm drop.

I see, thanks me and my friend were furious after killing all these NM's and not even getting a crystal to drop, I though TH might've been broken like so many things that came along with this update. But ok back to days of camping.

Also to add on Lamina, and Hyakinthos. Lamina was pretty easy to basically solo on my 68THF/NIN, using status bolts, I think he only hit me like once when my shadows went down. My friend on RNG was getting hit kinda hard, so I had to Accomplice her after she started the fight with Sidewinder, then it was all me till about 10%, then she finished it off with another Sidewinder from TP off the bees and Lycopodium in the area. Hyakinthos on the other hand is a little tougher just due to the en-paralyze effect, but still probably soloable by my THF.
/long post end.

You still haven't gotten the belt to drop? Jeebus man

Timed, we didn't kill a single Lycopodium. We actually had all the Lycopdium in the area following us while we fought them.

no drop

looks like it was the one you tripple star'd for lotto.

So Goblintrap East ronf (s) lotto spawn (h-10)

[Despain]

You whore at least now we know for damn sure its lotto.

[Akairyu]

Earth Weather just popped so I'm going to take a quick run around and hope to god this thing isn't a weather NM...

And it's not up anywhere i can see, back to the slaughter~

[Cesaria]

Just been playing with aern polearm boy - theorizing that his level up is when he switches hate target - he wanders off like he's got ADHD or something and everytime our tanks tried to pull hate back - he dinged. Didn't seem directly linked to flash like someone said the mithra was - because flash didn't consistently trigger it - but pulling hate back seemed to trigger it.

[Despain]

Just popped and killed Goblintrap thanks to Thorny's help with that .dat file. No drop, but VERY similar to Goaftrap. Only difference is that it spammed Soporific instead of Gloseowhatever (the slow move). Double attacked quite often, and had very low delay in between hits. I will wait an hour before killing PH again.

I'm partially convinced this NM may drop Wilhelm's Earring. Has it been proven that there's a correlation between the mobs that drop the set items? For instance, do they belong to the same family? If so, I'm definitely convinced.

[Kaslo]

I know there is a pair of mandies for I think it's the Acc/Attk ring set.
