Stick, ass, remove, etc. Answer the question douche.

Blob is super easy. Assign a RDM to diaga. Have 4 blms -aga nuke them. Enjoy the exp chains. Shit ain't rocket science.

Idk bro, it's something ridiculous like tanking without elegy. You gotta be good to be able to do it.

Good lord, you are an asswipe. How does a mob that almost immediately depops upon aggro-loss have any sort of traditional aggro mechanic?

[Thorny]

Idk, how is it that leeches and slimes deaggro in water and with deodorize yet taurus deaggro in water but not with deodorize? My gut says it's because Taurus are true sight.

The same applies to VNMs, hurrrr? I repeat, go try to pull lamprey lord to the pinning spot during rain. Oh, for those who haven't figured it out, the 'distance depop' on anything but yilbegan is just deaggro and yellow forces instant depop~

[Heie]

If I had to guess at anything I would say that true sight mobs that track by scent track by true scent. Since water or rain stops giving off your scent completely to track by, it makes sense that these true nms/vnms would work the same. I don't know if I am explaining it right but it makes sense in my head. Where the spells invis and sneak do nothing against true detect mobs it would make sense that the Spell of Deodorize doesn't work on true detect mobs either that track by scent.

False

[Magitek]

Go pup Skuld in any of her respective zones, flee halfway across zone and see if she depops... That bitch never gives up, like any lizard or gob that aggro you in Verthandi zones. My guess would be that there is are no water weather/streams like in Pashhow or Ronfaure, so you could try to use deodorize there and see if it works?

[ZhiGaruda]

False

What do you mean, false? The second a VNM has no target/aggro on someone, it immediately depops.

If you are misconstruing what he said as meaning going unclaimed vs. losing aggro, that's your own problem. Everyone here beyond 2nd grade knew what he was talking about, just by using simple contextual clues.

None to get off of. It's annoying when stupid people pick one line out of context and act like there was nothing before it.

Oh hi Zhi, enjoying your last few weeks of FFXI til you get yourself banned?

Regardless, my comment wasn't directed at anyone who knows what they're doing; moreso at the people who still post questions in the thread that were answered 40 pages ago. inb4, if you will.

But sure, keep it coming. 2nd grade? lol.

[Deader2818]

Mob turning yellow doesn't mean the mob has no target/aggro on someone, which is why I believe he said he was wrong in that sense.

Edit: NVM I see where he says deaggros + yellow.

[Nightfyre]

None to get off of.

Thorny has no dick?

[Karbuncle]

Can you pop a VNM with Sneak/Invisi on? if so that would confirm its "True" status since with most pop NMs you can Sneak yourself and they'll pop unclaimed, like with Fishing.

Could be wrong =(

[miokomioko]

If you're casting deodorize while having aggro on a Taurus, chances are you're far enough to be out of its sight-tracking range. So, I don't believe they track by scent and puddles don't do shit for that reason.

They will pop with aggro with sneak/invis on. Even then it feels like a stretch because it's triggered by a key item (as well as popping claimed).

Haha, banned, that's funny. Shosho used to tell me every single day in Dragon Aery's that by next month I would be banned. There was even a website about me that Stellvia had made, naming each and every event I had monopolized with NASA/XIP etc etc. Join the bandwagon, pal. You can't get rid of me, so learn to love me.

Aye, but can't a lot of Mission NMs/Quest NMs (some popped by Key items) be spawned yellow by sneaking before hand?

I know its a stretch but it might be where Thorny is getting it from =x, would at least make a little sense.

[miokomioko]

They indeed can, those mission/quest NMs appear to pop with no aggro and either immediately aggro you via sight/sound or you have sneak on and they aggro by sound and just stand there.

I feel like this is a different case since, technically, the NMs are already wondering around and your posession of a key item + resting just makes them come above ground, claimed by you, and aggro'd (with no enmity).
