Does anyone know if the T3 Abyssite breaks when you spawn Ruminator or w/e?

[Kegsay]

Yes, 100% if I recall reading.

[Spira]

I'm sure this is answered somewhere in this thread so please forgive me for any redundancies..

The various ancient abyssites that drop from NM's - is it totally random who in the party/alliance might obtain. I thought I read somewhere that, at least for some, it was the one in party that established initial hate.

Can more than one in the party get the abyssite?

The 3 color !! - have we figured out exactly how those affect drops? I saw in a previous post that someone was suggesting blue = full drops?

Do the !! affect ancient abyssite or atma key item drops?

some abyssite drop for all members, some for a random 1. eg Fear Gorta is all iirc, but Bhumi is 1.

!! supposedly affect droprates, even of atma but no concrete findings

Regarding * Abyssite of Lenity testing, does it stack with Moghancement: Experience? Would be good to know.

Been trying to follow this thread fairly thoroughly so sorry if I missed this, but what color light does a quick draw kill generate?

Yeah it does.

Blue !!'s = TH
Green !!'s = ???
Red !!'s = Stun & Rage with repeated use. Also Atma if you do it repeatedly.

I'm not sure about the Green...

When Atma DOES drop, the whole alliance gets it. 18 LS members have Atma of the Baying Moon because we trigged a bunch of Red !!'s on the Gnole NM. Even though it was a couple weeks ago now, I still remember very vividly the Gnole NM being spammed with Koki and it being stunned for long periods at a time.

Atma of the Baying Moon is 30 Attack and 30 MAB (Yes, 30) by the way.

[Phraust]

What about Yellow '!!' ?
We keep triggering Yellow !! on the squid using dark magic. Doesn't do anything noticeable =\

[Not Kuno]

We got key items when we saw yellow !!!s. Not sure if it's just luck, though.

With the recent appearance of the tonberries on two servers (Lakshmi, Valefor) ; unlike some of the previous which appeared on multiple at the same time. I've been trying to come up with reasons for this to occur.

The best running theory is of course killing X family of mobs enough made Y appear. Not enough information here at the moment but i'm wanting to think that it might be the monsters that have quest reward drops (clinoid / limule / funguar / pixie / qutrub) as most exp groups avoid those mobs.

For example via FFXIAH Purple polypore (kon funguar drop) have been frequently sold and thus you can assume the mobs are frequently fought on Lakshmi, Valefor. Based on that then Bismark, sylph, siren might be close to poping if this is a correct correlation.

[Afrohatch]

pearl lights fucking suck, what's the best way to get them? killing mobs 100% to 0% with melee doesn't even help lol

[Darkmagi]

They seem completely random in my experience, and they tend to come in bunches. Just kill normally and make sure you killshot with a melee hit.

Green might be the the gravity effect, iirc SE/NPC specifically says inhibiting movespeed some where.
Yellow = Key Item Drop

The only time I ever saw a yellow !!, it was a T2 VNM in La Theine that dropped 1 item and upgraded the abyssite.

[Helm]

We got a yellow !! on Chukwa with burn(?), however it proceeded to wig out and spam stomp. That being said, both the bow and collar dropped, although I'm not sure that means much as they seem somewhat common.

[Altariel]

Also got yellow on Chukwa with Flash with both bow and collar.

Someone just reported that its up on Bismarck.
You might be on to a theory that can actually be substantiated.

but then it really makes you wonder if theres like a correlation between mob families, or if its just the number of quest completions that matter...

If you've noticed, each server seems to open up a different family in the exact same order.
I suppose the next one left for Konschtat would have to be Cryptonberry since its the last family left.

Once that, Lieje and Vileberry are popped, the only mystery NM left in Konschtat would be Turul / Pavan.. and I've reason to believe that SE just happened to separate the order of both NMs far apart to tease people of the existence of this NM. (once again, assuming they're related and one is required to pull the other)..
A similar pattern can kinda be observed in the other 2 zones.

Ovni and Myrmecoleon both have not reared their head.. but Bhumi and Akash have, and serve no dedicated purpose atm (the Abyssite isn't exclusive)

Another thing I suppose is worth mentioning is that Konschtat is Bastok, and most servers/players dont have much love for Bastok, which is kinda apparent with how slowly it is progressing compared to the other 2. La Theine moves fast partly because San d'Oria is popular and Windurst perhaps for the tarus and the EXP pts. The other thing about them is that the abyssite obtained from doing quests for fame might be driving these areas forward faster too..

[Hanyoko]

Yea Turul is weird. I stood there watching it for a few min one day and it seemed stuck on the terrain. Always seem to see it by the "devils tower" there near i think conflux 5.

What about the antlions in tahrongi? or have those been poping

[Helm]

As far as I know, there hasn't been any reports of antlion sightings.

[Marokko]

This doesn't really contribute, but an Abyssea-Konschtat run I was part of yesterday is on their 26th hour. Was just wondering what the record is
