call me out of the loop and/or slow, but how do you get the number/letters at the end of the names of the mobs? doesn't take buying some hack does it?

Thorny had posted a dat swap earlier in this thread to help figure out ph

Ya just change it in the dats. Needs a Hex editor I'd presume.

Now I am just attempting to figure out what drops that Octant crossbow. Anyone have any speculations as to what may drop it?

[Cream Soda]

Do all these new NMs pop on their own or is there any in which have place holders?

[6souls]

Notes on Scylla:

- hydro wave may have add effect silence
- Absorbs Ice magic in addition to water
- has a tp move call Ice Guillotine, not sure on effect seems to be aoe damage
- has intimidation just like Gration

There's a few of both types looks like.

[Cream Soda]

How about Chaneque in Batalia downs S?

Killed Killer jonny 1st time in the Shiva server. Was pretty tough 1st try but found just kite around rock. Only crystals dropped -.- Same for the Raptor NM in cape terrigan but dropped nothing >__>

The PH for this monster is one of the two Morbol that pop in E/F-11 in Rolanberry (S). He has a very high triple attack rate and en-paralyze effect on his melee hits. He uses only Impale for a TP move. He also has a 12% movement speed enhancement.

I was alone when he popped so i tried soloing him with carby, had to switch between carby and fenrir frequently because he would obliterate carby before the recast was up. I got him to 60% but he was deagroing pretty easily, and occasionally regened a tick or worst case to full before i could get back to him to reclaim. Ended up having a RDM come out and kite him around one of the walls up by Jeuno while i caught him with bloodpacts which did decent damage, 1k+ Predator Claws. Second kill had a NIN kite him around.

1/2 on the boots, forgot to screenshot the item description but they are the mp+8 Enhancing Magic Skill +3 boots LV70 WHM/SMN/BLM/PUP/SCH.

Edit: Had 5 people in the party for the kill that dropped the boots if someone wants to figure out what lvl it is.

SE so should have named that NM "AIG" or "Barack"

Found Lugh up down in the Crawlers Nest (S) so a RNG friend of mine came to just see what this bad boy could do...

Sooo he leveled up on me... not the first mob to do it... 2 shot me too with prot4/stoneskin/phalanx etc.

All in all... Us: 0, Lugh: 2
I'm terrified to go back... but I want those feet... time for some more fun

inb4 shitstorm for depopping the NM.

Not to sound like a broken record, but barring any surprises at low HP I know how to duo the scorpion NM. Shoot me a tell in-game if you're interested (after hours for my LS, nobody's awake), I'll be on for another hour or so. BLM RDM BLU DRK or NIN only, if you can't kite don't message me. If nobody bites I'll kill it tomorrow and hopefully let you guys know what it drops.

1/3 on Lava's Ring (Hyakinthos)

camped this thing for 6 hours now, killing the 2 scorpions with no pop. ended up DCing while fighting one and died. Hp'd and i'm going to try popping it again tomorrow...

Centipedal just popped on Valefor. Going to give it a shot with the kite around the tower method with desert boots move speed. Lets see how it works.

[Wolfknight]

anyone got Marquis Subnack to spawn today since update?
I've been killing PHs for well over 5:30 hours and no spawn yet...

nvm finally saw it but seems to have way longer window than 4:30 as reported here/wiki to me. Also was bit rough and quicker kill than expected on sam/dnc solo took less than 5 minutes with tp build and mediate up at start, but even with full evasion gear still hit with quadra hits unless TE was up, ending up spamming waltz II a lot to stay alive. At least I got the drop this time.

[Logiks]

0/3 on blight and 0/2 on eldritch. 90 min repop on both

Burned a Reraise charge to test this with Earth weather up, I don't think you can get enough distance and recasting Sandstorm will give him time to catch up to you. The kite area is just too small and there's a quirk with the tower where if you're too far ahead he'll move in front of you rather than following you around.

Yeah i found both of these things~ I don't have enough space to get sandstorm back up reliably and i certainly don't have enough space to rebuff in the case that he gets a hit in.

What I need is a place I can kite it and get enough distance, ideally, to deaggro it. Similar concept to the SCH yovra solo strategy.

Seeing as i have reraise II and the reduced exp loss sigil I 'm going to keep trying a few things.

Thoon just morph spawned from Gigas Stonemason at F9 in korroloka tunnel right in front of me.

No drop, he went down pretty easy to my 75 dancer.

Guy absolutely adores throwing rocks at you. Range attacks twice per melee attack.

Id put him around mid 60s.
