Maybe one ring to rule them all?

Of course that must be the INT ring.

[Eilistrae]

Agreed.

This is all I have to say on the matter, Rocl.

HIS ONE WEAKNESS

Veela Ring
CHR+6 Enmity-2
Lv 75 All jobs

Veela are a race of faeries out of Harry Potter. So I think it's safe to assume this drop from the new Pixie NM.

[Eilistrae]

Killing Pixies is always sad.

[Khiinroye]

Veela are far older than harry potter, but that's just where people will likely recognize them from.

[Jakson]

The new Wyrm NM will pop like Padfoot, only in 8 copies in 8 zones, drops depend on zone you kill him in!

Disclaimer: I never read a Harry Potter book, or watch a Harry Potter movie... I just wiki'd it fast.

HIS ONE WEAKNESS

I MUST WARN YOU AGAINST INVOKING THE NAME

OR HE WILL CLAIM THE FORUMS FOR HIS OWN

Aside from that, is there a particular reason we're assuming Pixies are associated with CHR? All the ones I've ever killed have been WHMs -- why wouldn't it potentially drop the MND ring?

[lilpepe]

And well... Yilbegan pops in 8 zones >.>; It's an idea, but I'm hoping it's wrong lol

lol I can see this already each ring drop corresponding in the zone you fight in

member1 "guys Yilbegan pop in jugner{S}"
member2 "who care nobody want that CHR's ring"

haha

orneus Ring has to do with "ram horns" - so I'm guessing that Capricornus (sp?) NM is a ram, and that it drops the VIT+6 ring.

I notice that he pop in multiple zone too, but why doesnt he have a title ?
unless that was the title missing btw zinitra and Krabkatoa.

Ahem! Allow me to present you with a supposition.≺Prompt≻

Lying in parallel to the world upon which we stand exists another dimension.≺Prompt≻

“Abyssea” is its name--or at least, the name I've bestowed upon it.
It is a world of boundless beauty, mystique, and riches unclaimed.≺Prompt≻

Now, suppose this [blahblah item] I hold is a key to accessing Abyssea.
Were you in possession of one, your curiosity would get the better of you, yes?≺Prompt≻

Strictly speaking, this object does not grant entry into Abyssea itself.≺Prompt≻

It does, however, make it possible to interact with beings from that plane of existence--“Abysseans,” I call them.≺Prompt≻

The [blahblah random item] serves to detect Abysseans that wander the gulf between worlds.
How those hapless creatures--I refer to them as “Voidwalkers”--found their way there, mind you, is another subject entirely.≺Prompt≻

Having drifted to this realm from the world yonder, much like the Voidwalkers themselves, [blahblah random item] are attuned to the presence of these creatures and will react--vibrate and emit light--when they draw near.≺Prompt≻

The closer your distance to a Voidwalker, the stronger the reaction becomes, until the creature is forcibly wrested into this dimension.≺Prompt≻

Repeated contact with Abysseans will cause the [blahblah random item] to take on different hues, allowing it to respond to creatures belonging to the higher echelons of Voidwalkers.≺Prompt≻

Be forewarned! Abysseans are among the most foul-tempered, unpredictable creatures.
You would do well to steel yourself for a trying encounter prior to making contact.≺Prompt≻

I trust your many adventures have made you familiar with those ghastly statues scattered across the land called cavernous maws.≺Prompt≻

My observations have revealed that the concentration of Voidwalkers is greatest in locations where these statues are found.≺Prompt≻

As yet, I have no plausible explanations for this phenomenon, but you needn't concern yourself with such details.≺Prompt≻

Yours, my friend, is a dilemma infinitely simpler in nature.≺Prompt≻

All this far-fetched talk of Abyssea, Abysseans, and Voidwalkers...≺Prompt≻

I'm fully aware of the fantastical nature of my tale, and do not think poorly of those inclined to skepticism.≺Prompt≻

Yet I feel no need to vouch further for the authenticity of my claims.
Such is my confidence that the truth speaks for itself.≺Prompt≻

Now then. A great new world has presented itself before you.
The question is, will you embrace this opportunity, or let it pass you by?≺Prompt≻

As Abysseans cross from one realm to another, so too does gil pass from one individual to the next.
In my mind, it is only fitting that gil is that which grants you the key to Abyssea.≺Prompt≻

My tales have piqued your interest, have they?
As I have mentioned prior, the price is [some number] gil.≺Prompt≻

This could possible be related to the new NMs seeing as it says you have to talk to an NPC in Ru' lud Gardens to participate.

[Vendeen]

I'm at work so I didn't read all 10 pages, but could the stat rings possibly be from beating WotG? They seem pretty uniform, like the earrings/rings we've gotten before.

If someone's brought this up already I'm sorry. Q_Q

[Vlorsutes]

Using this idea we can say:

AGI - Clot (Blobnag being close to the clot's name)
VIT - Crab (Corneus is a type of snail so idk i thought it worked)
STR - Vampyr (above)
DEX - Dragon (above)
CHR - Pixie (Veela being a type of fairy)

then idk about MND/INT

Karka (MND) is a mountain and Galdr (INT) is some sort of Norse poem shit

ofc these leaves us one NM short so I dont think this is it?

Actually, it's possible that the Karka Ring will drop off the crab, since Karka is related to "Cancer" as in the zodiac sign.

[lilpepe]

the only thing that make no sense is why make them pop in multiple zone if the update says

http://www.playonline.com/pcd/verup/...38/5338_14.jpg
Several new Notorious Monsters have been added.
To accommodate this addition, the new NPC "Assai Nybaem" has been posted to the Ru'Lude Gardens (G-10).
*Players wishing to battle the new set of Notorious Monsters added this version update should speak to this NPC.

Unless that is for smaller NMs, but they show Krabkatoa there and he has a title.

To prevent cockblocking?

CHR is named Veela ring, Veela is a type of Pixie in some mythology

Dark Divinity

The unnamed Dark Divinity was mentioned during CoP (after the Snoll Tzar fight) is the one who gave the Shadow Lord his powers.

Transcript here: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Wh...)/Plot_Details

Maybe Odin? I believe the Divinity of Darkness was also mentioned during the NPC quests- which would point towards it being Odin, given the title for gaining his pact.

[Senary]

I agree that the Northland [S] zones are gonna be impossible to get and hold, but this will probably only be until the level cap gets raised. After that is should be cake.

With that said, expect SL to be damn near impossible for a long time.

What's going to make it impossible is coordinating which nation gets to hold the zones, otherwise I'm sure everyone is going to head over to Sandy and switch nations just to collect gear at a cheaper cost.

[Ivve]

I was just making a comment the other day about how a particular item doesn't drop from an NM of the same name. I wish I could recall what it was. I'm just saying, I wouldn't necessarily draw that conclusion, because there are other items that don't follow that logic.

[lilpepe]

To prevent cockblocking?

I dunno if it's about that, I guess we will have to wait till tonight

Also where are those HNM pictures
