FFXI New NMs 11/9/09

[Despain]

Won't let me post for 4 more days, but I just got Wilheim's Earring off of Goblintrap. Printscreen didn't work so no photo for now, but I'll have a friend take a photo of it later on tonight. Happy hunting.

-Rem

Someone who can't post yet sent me this PM. Gonna confirm it once I get drop, but fuck yeah! So there is a definite correlation between these NMs and their respective families for these set drops. Pics incoming if I get drop tonight, but I believe this guy.

[Masamune]

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.

Well... despite fact 2 mandy type NM drop the set Lava/Kushra rings, when it come to the set ears Cassandra/Helenus, Cass seem to be dropped from Weapon NM Blighting Brand,...
BUT...
the 2 other weapon NMs are Prankster Maverick (Volant Belt) and Barbaric Weapon (just saw 5 mins ago @ wiki it drops Rover Gloves), so is there another weapon type NM i missed ?
If not, then that disprove the theory :/

[Despain]

Is there an actual screenshot to go with Barbaric Weapon's drop..? Just throwing that out there.

[Nightfyre]

If it works, post a picture of the kite path. If i can take advantage of Sandstorm+Desert Boots/Geohelix/Bio II etc, I definitely will...

Updated with the last few pages of info

You have that scorpion NM popping at "A-4", which I think was referring to its ID rather than where it actually pops.

This, pop site is the southern part of H-9. Update on the kite path, I'm not sure it's viable without movement speed. This thing is starting to piss me off, but I want to kill it >.<

[Despain]

There's a NM in Xarcabard called Timeworn Warrior that seems to be a lotto pop of Lost Souls, if anyone's interested.

Wow I'm disappointed.. wtf @ that drop. I'm not a Summoner, but they don't seem that flashy to me.

[Karbuncle]

Relic hands have +10/12(+1) Skill, and more MP.

Those are good until level 70w/e when SMN Bracers come into play however.

Wouldn't you use Carby mitts anyway?

[arus2001]

Maybe they'd increase Favor range. Only use I can think of with relic hands having more skill, Carby mitts for Carby, or -perp options.

[Nishida]

Austere Cuffs

[Rafike]

Wouldn't you use Carby mitts anyway?

Not unless you are using Carbuncle?

[TheTaru]

How hard is Marquis Sabnock(Astrolabe NM)? Could a monk and a healer duo it?

[Despain]

Yes, with no problems whatsoever. As long as you have a dedicated healer, I don't see how this NM can pose a threat.

[Karbuncle]

Definitely for Carbuncle, but for BP:Ward/Rage on other Avatars this should pull ahead.

As for Austere Cuffs, 5 is greater then 2, so yah, these still win.

[Thorny]

Have any of the aptant:XX dropping NMs been confirmed to have gear drops as well?

Not to my knowledge.
