Abyssea HNMs

[Darkmagi]

Any idea if Krab can be lowmanned? 6-8ish? How much /tic does his poison do also? And any other noteworthy dangers besides his venom shower?
edit: anyone notice if it has TP regen also?
Ugh failed editing and accidently double posted. my bad.

Poison was like 40/tick and its normal attacks were still taking a good chunk of pld's hp off. Cone claw attack did like 1k as well.

Any HP/TP regen?

[Alderon527]

Any HP/TP regen?

Very low hp regen it seemed. After the first venom shower wiped half of us it only regened 1-3% while we recovered.

Once you receive colorful abyssite you just do the same thing for lower tiers in Ronfaure or Jugner? Heal til you locate it?

[Stellar]

I think there's only 3 tiers... Clear => Colorful => Brown (Or something else) is all that we got...

[Guitarman]

no tp regen at all, just hp regen alderon mentioned. one thing though, he's funnier than hell to watch. his legs scuttle around so fast it's absurd lol.

[Aced]

So from my understanding:

Get key item from rulude
upgrade by killing element(s)
then kill pixie(s)
then mother pixie thing?
then rest on the dragons body to engage it once key item fully upgraded?

Also aren't the elements in the present areas not the past? Scanned a lot of the past zones and didn't see anything.

This as well as the pugil were semi-challenging not knowing what to expect.

For this particular Kraken NM (Tier 2 Krabkatoa Path) it uses Hundred Fists every 25% gone from his health and has rapid hate decay during Hundred Fists, notice this before you try to fight it.

quick question not sure if its been answered, do u have to do tier1 tier2 in same zone to get to tier3?

[Azzy]

Orcus Path:
-Tier 4: Yilbegan (Wyrm HNM)
-Tier 3: Orcus (Antlion HNM)
-Tier 2: ???
-Tier 1: ???

Using a friends account to post.

Got bored of East Ron [s] and went to West Saruta after getting the manta > recoil spam pugil.

Immeditaly got Jyeshtha (dropped fatality belt), nothing special, uses Break and one or two wild rage hit my pld (aegis/dring) for about 750, normal 200-300.

Orcus popped after Jyeshtha, thing is a pain in the ass. Had mostly blms but changed damage to smns immediatly... garuda/titan did the best. Uses 3 tp moves from what I can remember:
Mandibular bite same as the regular version, never did much damage
Quake something (aoe 10-15', 200-300 dmg, strips all gear)
Gravity Beam (iirc) damage similar to lightning spear, huge knockback after, nm gains Gravity/defense down aura. Seems to reset hate, 1 flash + 1 cure IV would generally get it back. All tp moves strip utsu.
Hits pretty weak, 0-80 generally blocked/unblocked in shield/dmg- gear + taco + p2. Hits extremely fast, shadowing it is almost useless. Will crit for 100-300. It either has constant triple attack or attacks more than 3x per round, dmg spam in log was sometimes 5 hits at once. Blind lands, that's it. Dropped its versions of the same things the pixies listed earlier dropped.

Sorry for the few fuzzy details on tp, mind is shot from killing elementals for hours.

yes, and if you pop a t1 in a zone, you're dedicated to that zone until you pop t3 and it breaks, or you get a new key item. you can't hop zones.

[Renzy]

No they don't, we killed elementals in Sauromugue and then killed the Pixie HNM in Batallia

[Mazmaz]

No

I'm not sure if the paths are correct. I got my T2 chip from Quagmire Pugil in east ron S, then went to present Batallia and popped an Urd (and wiped). So mobs maybe zone dependent instead of path dependent?

[xerodok]

Is there a time delay to kill Tier 2 mobs or do you just have to go to another zone?

[Guitarman]

hmm odd. i popped 7 t1 with no crystal change /shrug

[Darkmagi]

Killed 2 t2 in east ron with no crystal change, and no we can't find anymore. Do these have a delay on repop?

[Fyrestorm]

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?
