Abyssea HNMs

[xerodok]

Do we have any idea on the repop on t2s yet? Killed manta in jugner but unable to find another t2 anywhere else. The pugil was killed and hasn't repopped in over 30mins. Any ideas?

You have to take into consideration that other people are spamming this as much as you are.

Gjenganger, ghost NM is the T1 for Xarcabard [S]. Resisted grav/bind/stun (what else is new), does typical ghost stuff including thundaga3. Hits for about 150. My BLM couldn't solo it.

Ah, well if Dragon is Tier 4 for all zones, you lose your crystal upon losing to a T3. This was the case when we popped Orcus with a brown crystal in West Saruta.

Just wiped to Lamprey lord T2 in north gusta. Leech with very high triple attack proc rate and 20/tic enpoison. Only uses acid mist from what i saw. Slow/para wouldn't stick so blood tanking would probably work best.

4 T2 in 3 different zones and no upgrade.
Just bad luck?

Took us 5 T2 to upgrade

So the abyssite only has a random chance to change colour after killing Tier 1 and 2?

While fighting Yilbegan we pulled it away from the starting area, kiting a bit, and soon got the message "You have wandered too far from the monster and can no longer sense its presence." as we watched it depop in front of us. Not sure the SPECIFIC trigger.... but be careful.

[Fyrestorm]

Just killed fifth, and still no upgrade.

[Allelujah]

From my experience, we killed about 15 Tier 1's from Battalia Downs and Rolanberry. We got 2 upgrades from that. Did 2 Fairy NMs in rolanberry and then switched to East Ronf S and fought the Kraken- no drop. Then we popped the Pugil and got a Blue crystal change.

Hope this helps.

How soloable are the Tier 1s?

[HarleyM]

Who is it that can get the change? Only the popper?

[HarleyM]

How soloable are the Tier 1s?

I know I was able to relatively easily solo both the pugil and crab tier 1s on thief. I would think most solo jobs would be able to do so, but they seemed immune to kiting techniques. I would guess the worm would be relatively easy to solo as well with a mage, but it would be a crapshoot if you got that or the clot.

[In Flames]

Ok is there something I'm missing here? Killed over 20 t1s with no colour change. It upgrades while you're in the field right? Or do you have to go back to the npc?

[orac]

So far, I killed 2 NMs in West Sarutabaruta, 1st 1 was Rummager Beetle, and then got the colorful abyssite from killing the Raker Bee.

After that, popped next NM that appeared, and got raped, was Farruca Fly. All this was solo though.

So here's a question: these mobs can be popped at any time and there is no real repop? Can LS base a day's events around this?

[In Flames]

I'm in saruta as well. Did the first 6 or 7 solo and have been duoing since then. Managed to chain 4 them so far but still no change...

EDIT: Upgraded after 24 kills. Fuck that noise.

[Shamaya]

The T3 VhNM's and T4 Dragon have Hunts and Evoliths associated with them. Bout to post the hunt information in this thread in just a sec.

Just got Colourfull Abyssite from West Saru [S] after almost 1 hour of killing.. Only I got it.. Friends ive done it with still havent got it.

And some Jps people did a t2(?) Scorpion in West Saru [S], killed it with some trouble.. Was using some AoE move a lot, and was using Petrfy(conal attack).

As long as you were somewhat flexible with what exactly you killed it seems like this could be done any time of the day with any number of people, really. Depending on the group size you could either focus on upgrading each person's crystal or on going for the t3/t4 NMs. Since it sounds like you can change paths midstream, it doesn't likely matter much how much competition you have.
