As your friend I will be the first to tell you this.


Wrong.

Wrong.

Mithras can reach the top of shelves, tarus cannot.

How do you guys get the T3s close to cliffs/high grounds without them depopping? Today we had to wait like 20 mins for Orcus to move closer to a cliff so we could pop it lol.

[Flic]

In reply to cair meteor about same as kbs, its just the fact that its loaded on top of everything else lol, I'm going to assume a melee interupted it. ?

[Cairthenn]

We haven't moved anything to take advantage of the elevation, so I couldn't help you there. I was under the impression T3 didn't depop, am I wrong?

Shield Bash I think, I dont remember any mele being near it at the time, though we did have 2 sams for SC who could have done it.

Maint in Orcus zones... was he broken?

People were killing him, im not sure. Maybe they found something that wasn't supposed to be there.

thats pretty lame...

The bee was probably wandering in the cracks or something.

I'm guessing Yilbegan drops both INT rings and the DEX ring. The other INT ring hasn't dropped yet from the others, right?

I'm willing to bet that is the case. From alla,

Zilant Ring:
Like Yilbegan, a type of dragon-esque creature. Yilbegan is Siberian, Zilant is Slavic, both are Russian)

Verthandi's Path: Tier2, Urd
Trying to get Eyes of Verthandi for my D.A. Athame dagger, so I've been deciding to farm this as my T2. Easy but semi-long (20-30 minutes) fight for a Rdm and Thf duo. Mind you I've got good gear but my Rdm was dual boxed.
*Slow lands after a couple attempts
*Blind lands easily
*Couldn't get Para, bind, or grav to land
*Hits for about ~350 plus and has double attack
*TP Moves,
Zephyr Arrow: - Ranged Attack Knockback, Bind
Lethe Arrows: - Ranged Attack Knockback, Bind, Amnesia
Cyclonic Turmoil: - AoE Wind damage, Knockback, and multiple effect Dispel
And other TP moves like the ones that erase you or put you to sleep, or reduce yoru TP.
*Uses 2hr:Trance. Immediately when you see it use this, it will do Zephyr Arrow -> Lethe Arrow -> Cyclonic Turmoil -> Cyclonic Turmoil

Evade rate was about ~60%+ but I wasn't always using a heavy evasion set. For this fight, I'd recommend having ~1300+ HP to be in the safe zone. So for me I used gigant mantle and BQ ring. When it starts to cast Stoneskin, Cure, Regen, or maybe even proshell if you're fast, you can get behind it and SA+WS. Keep mage at a distance to avoid getting hit by TP moves.

When it uses Trance, simply start to kite it. Thieves can pop flee and easily get out of the way of Lethe Arrow. It'll try to use Cyclonic Turmoil when it's within 20' of you, and it'll do this twice. Just let it prime the move and then run out of range.

Killed 6-7 so far and still no color conversion ;/

If anyone wants, feel free to check my youtube channel I have a vid of Verthandi and Yibegan. It has commentary, mute it if you want but note that it will give you some info that you cant see via filters (my bad). If you've already fought them you obviously wont learn much but I think it will be good for people who are planning to fight em too see it for themselves before potentially wasting hours of time farming T1-2-3's. k.

/shrug

This actually happened to us. It was awful, since they have super movement speed and perfect pathing, we couldn't zone it in time and ended up killing like 4 of us for no reason lol...

[Ophannus]

Gravity Horn is the coolest looking attack ever.

They can with this! ===> http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Stepping_Stool
Such a befitting description too

[Shamaya]

Thanks Riker, definitely going to check it out. I'm sure it'll help. My idea for getting my Eyes of Verthadi is just that I'll do pickups and reserve the eyes but leave everything freelot. I imagine it'll be pretty easy to get people for the ring, torque matt, other matts, or fun element.

Also, I didn't see to much on Capricornus in this thread. That fish that does mighty strikes often and uses this aoe TP move absorbable by 2-3 shadows. Just saw a Nin/Dnc solo it. Looks like it takes awhile but seems pretty easy to outrun.

[WANG]

seems pretty easy to outrun.

Easy to outrun Recoil Drive?

[drwaffles]

It's very easy to outrun even though it has I think ~15' range. Trying to use it holds the mob up for a good couple of seconds, and it'll try to use it from very far away so as long as you're running at the time you shouldn't get hit by it.
