Sarcopsylla down, killed with RDM, BLMx2 and SCH (all /NIN). No drop

[BerenTebogo]

Did PLD/RDM + WHM/BLM last night. Pretty easy fight. No drop also.

Forgive me if this has been stated before, but isn't it ironic that the fomor NM's drop gear that is opposite their races strengths? The Taru drops HP+, Mithra STR+, Galka Magic Acc+, Elvaan Magic att+, and hume is kind of rounded. I know it's nothing of great importance, but it is just a random observation.

2/10 on the Chigoe in Grauberg, went 0/8, and the next two dropped shoes for me and my friend =D

Duo'd 4 as SMN/NIN SMN/NIN, easiest thing i've ever done. the other 6 with a group of friends, mostly kiting, a really pathetic NM.

As for Lizardtrap, you could kill him with 2 Ifrits, seriously, just summon Ifrit, Flaming Crush and melee inbetween, should only have to summon twice... when i duo'd it we both used Ifrit it took about 3 minutes, and thats only cause of the BP Timers =), quick easy, hell laughably easy fight... went 1/4, got drop when no one around had TH >.<

Fought Burlibix Brawnback PH's for about an hr and a half, had to go for LS event, no pop. However, there is remains of a corpse so thats good.

Flaming Crush has been unrealible for me with its fluctuations on this NM even with SMN skill gear and even if it did land it did just shy more of Eclipse Bite. Tried Ifrit strat but mp became an issue and it took several Ifrits...

Of course, I am not merited in SMN skill yet.

Rogue Receptacle - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more

Looking for any additional information on Rogue Receptacle. Supposedly drops Lyricist's Gonnelle at a decent rate but I'm not too quick to trust Wiki. I'm looking for some additional information on this NM and if anyone can confirm pop conditions and drop.

I camped it one night for about 1-2 hours, didn't pop, so I logged. I logged on the next morning, killed all the Magic Flagons behind the East Moongate again and it popped after about 45 minutes. I was able to get it to 19% with 2 hour solo as SAM/DNC but the Double Ray spam got the best of me. Friend came out as WHM and we trioed with a THF in zone pretty easily.

Now, it popped in the southeast section of the East Moongate area. In this area it was on the bottom floor in the West bay. This is the bay with only one bay on its side. A friend said he popped it about 6 hours later that day and it popped in the same bay. I've read that most/all of these lottery NMs have one and only one specific placeholder. Has there been any discovery of any NM that has more than one placeholder?

And then you mentionned 60 pages, implying you're going from page 1 blindly.

Makes more sense than your assumption <3 But heres a consolation prize!

Edit: fresh out sorry...

[Havok]

NM: Acolnahuacatl @ Yhoator Jungle F/G-10
Repop time is 2 hours
I went 1/6 on it
Any 75 DD + healer can duo this, can be solo'd easily with good evasion setup
Someone posted alil info on it earlier, but I didn't see pop timer so just adding a lil here

[Nex]

Hmm, maybe it can be done but it took me 2 hours to 4man it. I also forgot to mention before that it does rage, not sure on the rage time though. He also has what seems to be +12% movement speed. So given the right jobs and gear it may be possible with alot of patience and exp to spare.

[Phraust]

Pretty sure it was one of the bats around the F/G-8 room with the oozes. I just had ramuh round them all up and thundersparked the group, then he popped with the other bats.

Thanks!

I'd like that for my RDM for Maat :Q

I started kiting after that and I could range aqua cannon rather easily as it would ready even if I was already too far away. It did not draw in until after it stopped spamming(which turned out to be 1 hydro wave then 19 aqua cannons, 20 total ws, maybe always that maybe coincidence) but that may have been a coincidence, needs further testing. I was on BLM/RDM to control adds and stun to stop rotation(though that turned out not to work) so I died anyway once it started drawing in.

Since you seemed interested in doing a low-man Scylla, it got me interested too, so I went and tried it out today with 4 people, PLD RDM BRD BLM. Just had the PLD tank it at the lake with us at the Fei'Yin exit, handled ice mode the same way I described in my previous post, and after a couple water modes we figured out what you meant by running him out of range. It still does draw-in during those modes though, but I think it might just be perimeter based rather than distance-based, or the distance is long enough that you can still run out of range during it. Also had no luck stunning the WSs to stop the modes, I think the other guy might have just had coincidental luck.

The whole fight took about 40min, but that included some wasted time with me soloing a Ruszor that aggroed instead of just depopping it, which I did instead 5 min later when it re-aggroed. After I logged the 2nd one it repopped far enough away and never aggroed again. Could probably just keep it slept the whole time, too, you shouldn't get more than one, and if you do you could kill that one. Also wasted some time when I died from Aqua Cannon before we'd figured out what to do with that.

[toqabowl]

So far solo'd copper borer 8 times blm/nin, still no drop. I think next couple times ill bring TH

oh, gives me 345 XP solo(w/ santion), so idk what lvl that would make it

tried to pop the tonberry NM for 5 hours today, and got nothin. it died sometime before, just not sure when. didnt have any problem with any mobs just dissapearing. I just can't figure out any set pattern of what pops where. It all seems so random.

[chiyio]

Headed over to Altep, took a stab at Picolaton.

that JP wiki posts it at E-7, but the dat order posts it at D-10 area, listed under a Phocusrchaos, and some french folklore says a Picolaton is some kind of bird. Someones allready up in E-7 area trying to pop it as well. Anyone else had any luck?

Check my post on 56, I've narrowed them all down, short of which group the PH is in.
