FFXI New NMs 11/9/09

Actually Switche, that seems to make sense, I'll give that a go, gonna pick up something to eat.

That entire inside area is epic shit. Nowhere to safely afk, at all.

There's a small spot to the west of the bombs that is safe if you hug the wall. This is only during the day though, a skelly will roam there at night. If you stand too close to the cliff, the orcs can aggro from the bottom.

Edit: This is for something like a nuke/sleep thing though. For smn soloing them, I wouldn't suggest that spot for a kill, but rather to invis up and pull it back to the hill.

[TheTaru]

That's right bitch, die to Quadrastrike.

I've been doing this a lot on MNK/NIN Q.Q

[Virtuous Saint]

I've been trying to pop him since the update came out and no luck as of yet.

These ones are the ones I had focused quite a bit on. Either I'm fairly unlucky or my best guess is that it would be the third in the list (This would also make it a fuck ton more tedious to solo pop as well).

The reason why I ignored the third is because, similar to the 4th, it can be hard to pull depending on your job, but it might make sense that it's the 3rd as well.

This is the way I pictured it. The first 2 are actually on the south side of the wall in the game with the 3 orcs and the treant.

Just popped it after killing 1PH. No clue which I killed but ya.

Real quick Question on Barbaric Weapon, i feel stupid asking this cause i know i saw the info in this thread, but i can't dig it up.

Says spawns at G-8, i'm assuming the WAR weapons down by where Shadow Dragon spawns are the PHs, and the NM spawns at G-8?

Cause theres no weapons at G-8

It's really odd. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it.

I camped Barbaric Weapon earlier, got the kill (after a long, horrible fight that I won't go into details on atm), no drop. I return 2 hours later to find...

No cursed weapons at the pop spot. What gives? There were 2 earlier. I gave it a long, long time... at least 20 minutes... and nothing. Then, finally, one spawns.

But only one? I've been here over an hour, and it's still just me and one Cursed Weapon. I've killed it and seen it respawn. Haven't seen the NM either. There's been a lot of weather out here in Xarcabard tonight... maybe that has some effect on the weapons here?

Just very odd behavior. >.>

Doesn't matter too much, anyway, if ffxiclopedia is right, this is a timed spawn, not lottery.

which PH did you kill? Outside the gates, or ones roaming the campfire?

Just popped, gonna see which djinn doesnt come out to play.

I think thats it, gonna give it another min or 2, just incase

[Virtuous Saint]

Exactly where you said they popped.

[vagus]

Any information for the actual fight? blm burn? trio?

If you are talking about the bomb, easy RDM/NIN solo.

[chiyio]

Spams Pnembrual Impact, almost wiped thf rdm blm.

72 limits, 3 ppl, no sanction, aptant of Bellum.

[Lilswitche]

Fucking called that.. Waste of 3 days of my life on the wrong PHs.

[vagus]

Still no actual SS of what drops from the weapon NM in xarc.

[Classikmage]

Anyone have info on how Tethra was killed? I saw a post saying he was incredibly easy, but no info on how they killed.

My LS has been fighting him for almost an hour and everything we throw at him either heals him, or does 0 damage.

It's getting stupid. =/

The way I killed him was 2 plds tanking him with a couple healers, and then RNGs that just plucked away without WS'ing. We basically just store tp on him and WS'd on the bombs that re-popped. I only fought him once but it seemed like any offensive JA's on him caused him to level up/hate reset. But once we figured out to just pluck away with /ra his SS broke pretty quickly and it was a pretty clean fight. Barrage is ok as long as you don't pull hate and move him towards the mages. Also stay off the wall so if you do get hate he'll run to you not draw you in.

I've heard there are other easy methods so don't think I'm saying this is the only way.

[BerenTebogo]

Brazen Bones just fucked me in the ass on the way to ASA

[keriam]

Still camping Barbaric Weapon, but no pop. No Cursed Weapons here anymore, either. Only had the one, and when I killed it a second time, it never came back.

This has me thinking... could this be like Panzer Percival in Jugner Forest? The mobs haven't come back, so maybe they're spawned at one of the other weapon spawn points in Xarcabard. If that's the case, maybe whoever put that this is a timed spawn on ffxiclopedia thought that because they couldn't see the PH killed at a different location.

Just a thought, because on my server, there's been very little activity in Xarcabard in the last couple of hours.... and its about 5 and a half hours now since the last sighting of Barbaric Weapon. That could also explain why there have been virtually no Cursed Weapon spawns here.

My girlfriend is going to go clear out the weapons at other spots in Xarcabard, so we'll see if that causes some to pop back here. Of course, if the NM pops, that could just be a coincidence.

EDIT: Gf confirmed it. These Cursed Weapons do appear to spawn at random 'spines' in Xarcabard. It looks like maybe only three up at a time? She only saw 3, killed them, and no respawns at me... but on the 2nd round of kills, one of them popped at G-8.

EDIT: Actually, looks like 4 of the weapons are up, not 3.

Spent some more time this evening trying to pop Drumskull without much luck. The dat for the spawns near him looks like this:

Champion
Dragonbrander
Veteran
Drumskull Zogdregg
Champion
Dragonbrander
Dragonbrander
Protector
Champion
Protector

The three above Drumskull spawn in (J-10) and the rest spawn farther south in (J-11). I don't know how practical this is going to be for a single person to try and spawn. As SCH/RDM I can only take down 2 on an MP pool and by the time I'm ready to start again one of the 2 has respawned so it's slow going. Also got myself killed when I moved south to try my luck there and a PLD resisted sleep a bunch. It might be smarter to bring a small party there to try and clear them out faster/safer. Going to give this a go again tomorrow to see if i can figure out which is actually the PH unless someone else manages to before me.

[AppleJ]

Does anyone have any extended information on Erle? Wiki says G-10, I killed every Wasp within 2 full blocks of that. I even road around on a chocobo with APradar showing all, did not find him. Anyone camped him yet?

[TheTaru]

Which map of garlaige does Hazmat spawn on? And it is it lottery or timed?

[6souls]

more notes on Scylla:

- Aqua Cannon is water damage, knockback, & silence (cannot be removed with Echo's or silena. actually seems to work like Doom and may take multiple tries to remove.)
- Heavy resistance to Souleater, just like AV. So Drk zerg is out of the question.

we'll figure a strat for this mob one of these days.

[Uwen]

Which map of garlaige does Hazmat spawn on? And it is it lottery or timed?

Map 2(Behind Gate 1), lottery off of one of the Explosures @ I-8, room has 2 Droma + 3 Explosure. I estimate 1.5 hour min to repop, but thats just my experience. Longest repop for me was almost 2 hours.
