Abyssea HNMs

[Aced]

HP bar on the crab appeared occasionally. Seemed to after Mega scissors.

T2 mobs definitly need at least a 6men pt. ;_; T3 18 ppl.

It's the worst, u have to CAMP these NMs competing with other LS and compete for drops. Yay another event for HNMLS <_<

[Astrida]

My first 2 crab fights, the poison was a bitch. we killed it twice with no drops just synth materials >< The title i got reminded me of sushi?

Strange.. Got no title from killing Krabkatoa

Not really. It is pretty quick to find out whether or not the NM is up in a particular zone, and I would imagine even easier with death spot scanning (though this I honestly have no idea on). If the NM isn't up in the zone, there are 3 others you can pop it in.

[Shadida]

So, two crab fights? How quickly did you pop it after the first fight?

This sounds absolutely terrible. Mozu (D:43)/Izatu (D:34/occ. att. twice) will absolutely destroy Senji (D:38)/Perdu (D:32). I mean will destroy by the tune of 33% increase or more. And the only way to get them is by:

1) Being in a linkshell with 20 people
2) Convincing them to fight an alliance fight 20-100 times depending on drop rate
3) Doing these 10-100 fights for every member of said LS that wants to upgrade (I guess 2h upgrades would technically require half as many drops since only upgrading one weapon).


So even if only half of your 20 person shell wants to upgrade you are looking at 100-1000 of these fights? And thats just the T3's.....it will take days upon days just to collect the triggers for that many fights let alone complete them. It really sounds like another idea in the mold of relics where one person is going to end up with something awesome while everyone else farms dynamis for a year to do it for them (or in this case kill a HNM 50 times for them).

umm it says on my SS, we killed 1st crab in east ron then like 35 min later we popped 2nd crab in jug and killed it about 50 min later

[SephYuyX]

Or just wait a week when no one will be killing these.

[Arthars]

All the screenshots of T3's so far have been full alliances. I think the katana needs 10 of these nails? And they aren't 100% drops? Am I really looking at dragging an entire alliance to kill this vampire 20-50 times just to help me upgrade a weapon?

yep if you look at those crabs people been killing(they are T3 btw), not all have the item for magian weapon....

and some SS from verthandi got 2 items, so i would say 0-2 for T3 magian weapon quest item per T3

We were 0/3 on pixie giving us a color change to do T4 and slime was 1/1? im curious if *anyone* has gotten tier4 pop from pixie? because pixie is pretty weak doesn't seem like a legit tier3, but maybe i missed that in the thread

hmmm if thats the case, then maybe its not guaranteed a color change for T3 afterall

I'm mad. We killed and did not get a title.

[Arthars]

actually my last question for this system is, for T2 and T3s, does the NM pop like T1s?

do you find T2 and T3 mobs using /heal as well?

i kinda almost there for T2 and server going down now ;(

[lilpepe]

Well basically we could had pop it again 5min after, we just didnt move from East to Jugner right away.

So it probably has a repop time in the same zone, or you need to kill one in the zone for the one in the other zone to pop.

We just had 2 members with the Tier3 Keyitem to pop him back to back, they are pretty easy once you know what u doing.

I think we have like 10+ members with Tier2 Keyitems, so we be able to spam that crab to death w

Yea basically once you have kill some T1 and your keyitem become colorful, the only thing u can find after that are Tier2, you wont pop any Tier1 anymore.

Samething with Tier3, once you have killed enough Tier2 and your keyitem become one color, the only thing u will be able to find are the Tier3 NMs etc.

[Arthars]

awesome thanks!

yes they are done the same way with /heal.

We killed T2 Pugil in E.Ron S last night and got the Fierce Belt (Attack +15)
We killed with 4 RDM BRD NIN THF with some difficulty.
When the Pugil 2HRs it spams Recoil Dive but you can get out of range. Recoil Dive is also hate reset.

We popped T3 Crab and with just the 4 of us got it to about 80% according to radar.
NIN with full Eva setup and the crab was missing about 70% of the time.
We were able to land Elegy on it but not and RDM debuffs.
Mega Scissor seems to be like Throat Stab, was taking NIN to red HP every time and resetting hate. It did seem to have a small delay so might be possible to get out of range of this (we were testing this when Venom Shower destroyed us).

Question for others that have fought crab. Did stun have any effect or was it possible to stun Venom Shower?


--Lisander--

[Fou-Lu]

Its stunnable/bashable but if you stun venom shower he just keeps trying to use it until he gets it off

[Koeta]

Beaucedine Glacier first NM is called "Gjenganger" I do believe, it's a ghost.

[Gwynplaine]

I'm curious if people who killed a T3 NM and didn't get a title had their key items change color?

The debug zone data makes it sound like there might be "true" versions and "shadow" versions.

Also why are some people calling these VNMs? What does the "V" stand for?
