I agree. I think the title is glitched. That, or they realized people care about titles, and added another incentive for people to pop this shit. But there are titles w/ varying loot pools, so at this point we're down to HQ=title, and that's it.

Clearly, title is one "invisible drop"

I think this is my new favorite NM. He has different "modes". His current mode is whatever elemental damage he last took. He casts t4 nukes on both enemies (to damage) and himself (to heal). So we decided to change his element on him while he was mid-nuke!

I guess this should technically go in Random Fail or something, but eh~

I'm guessing the "shadow" part in the .dat debug is when the mob is invisible, and that the title thing is just a bug.

Haha that's awesome

The knockback is with Chaos Blast, which is his wings move I think, though it has lower range. Comes with HP / MP / TP down.

This. Most likely. :/

So is it safe to just say:

Shits random, move on.

Did the key item for Yilbegan drop in this fight?

Yes it did, sorry, forgot to mention that.

[Puba]

I've been looking at screenshots and I can't tell exactly, but you people who are getting ring and item drops from your Vampyr / Yelbegin, are you fighting in [S] or present?

[Auburn]

We got a ring off vamp in the present day Xarcabard.

[Fyrestorm]

So far my shell has killed Krab in present day Jugner with ring only drop and no key item for Yilb.

Also killed Orcus in Wsaru[S] with no drops but key item.

Present krab gave title but orcus didn't, shit seems real random.

[OdinBlaize]

An LS mate and I were talking about our experiences with this so far and we noticed that in the instances where we needed to change zones in order to level up the abyssite, we never got a title from the T3 pops and always got the key item to spawn the T4.

In the one instance where we were able to level to T3 in the same zone (Jugner[S]) we killed Krabkatoa and got good drops, including the mnd+6 ring and the title.

Does this experience hold true for others?

5 men party killed Farruca flies, 30 minuets fight about. setup was PLD/NIN RDM/WHM BLU/NIN THF/NIN (th4) and BLM/RDM. Had one Alert ring!!! *_*

Fact: we killed 2 flies in present saruta and no drop from both. killed one in the past and got drop.
Random fact: we were specifically hunting ferruca fly. While in the past, i spawned a Void to see if it was fly or scorpion while the pt was gathering togheter. Fly pops, flee run away depop. When pt gathered i spawned again in the same area (near giddeus zone) but instead of fly we got scorpion.
The scorpion is just impossibile to do with that setup so i flee-depop it. Then, in the same area, always near giddeus zone, i spawned again void and got fly. Not sure if this is important, but maybe can help.
No keyitem change at all

Cannot post urls or images cuz dun have 10 posts yet ;_;

That setup should be able to kill scorpion, definitely can with 1 bard added. Also, there is 1 fly and 1 scorp per zone, they just roam (and quite often roam very near each other).

Also, you just got lucky on killing it in the past, sorry. We killed like 4 flies and 4 scorps in past, 4 flies and 4 scorps in present, 0 of your ring.

Not saying is relevant, was just reporting our experience. We tried the scorpion with that setup + another blu sam and a sch instead of blm, and was going smoothly until 30%, was going down much faster than fly, then he somehow managed to oneshot the PLD with a mighty strike + wild rage. sam 2hred him + SAvertical clave and dead, no drop.
The scorpion is more dangerous due to the 2hr spammage, and need more experience and preparation for a low-man pt than a 18 ppl alliance from end-game LS.

Also, the curious thing about the alternate pop for me was that it was the almost exactly same pop-point for fly, and we got scorpion, then fly again. Maybe is just random, but i thought was curious enough to report it

got t2 and t3 in the same zone without leaving, mats only, no title, but colour change

[Nishida]

Unless I missed it I don't think anyone posted a strat for the wyrm. We were BLM/SMN fighting it and couldn't get it down passed 95%. We switched things up and brought RNGs out and have it almost dead now. So far it seems RNG burn is best strat. SAM WS's are doing 70-300. 300ish with SATA.

Around 10%ish I did a 1k Gekko. Dropped Darksteel Ingot..no title. -_-

1/10 on t2s tonight
Making events out of VNM is gonna suck...
