Abyssea Discussion

[chazzyphizzle]

That might have to do with the new status effect Transcendence, maybe? Not sure.

[Ashira]

Yeah, had the pearlescence and then fades to faint ruby, not like had enough time to figure out everything.

[Chastiti]

Got a murmuring globule (rare) and a limule pincer off a Sods Limule in Abyssea-Konschtat.

No idea what they're for.

Item buyable with the Abyssa currency.

New relic-type requirement?

[TacoTaru]

Did Abyssea-La'Theine.

Went off towards the gully in the NW region of the map and fought some gigas until we got an oversized clock. Popped an NM gigas named Pantagruel. Fairly easy just took a while. Does a ballbuster of a move called Moribund Hack that can be stunned and if you don't it sucked ass. AoE big damage with paralyze.

dropped from a chest that spawned out of one of the earliest mobs in the zone

[Narol]

Did Abyssea - La'Theine. Most mobs are fairly easy PLD+RDM+BLM trio. God-mode Aspir makes most mobs a joke. Gigases hit hard. The exp wasn't too bad for the half hour we were fucking around killing things. Felt like oversized MMM.

Course we didn't really go in with any specific goals, but whatever. Was fun running around a new zone killing things.

crazy worm that two shot me in tahrongi :3 like a super sandworm! oh and there was baby sandworms

[Gwynplaine]

Went into Tahrongi. Gully Clionids near the entrance, con EM at 76. They do not aggro, I'm not sure if they link? Or if its just the other enemies that spawn once a battle has commenced. The Clionids are BLM and cast t4 spells but are pretty easy. They gave ~71 exp and ~17 cruor.

After a few a huge ITG Qutrub appeared out of no where and one shotted me. Once I died it despawned. It reappered several times on different players. Name is Manananggal.

[Toth]

Exp loss there?

[TacoTaru]

Yes.

[Weeks]

Fucked around in a zone with my brother.

DC-EM lizards at the entrance to Konschtat. Long charge-up on Baleful Gaze was nice, no aggro, no link. Roughly 90 exp and 18 cruor for each, except last gave half as much exp and twice as much cruor.

Clionids were in the Ghillie Dhu area. No aggro or link. They did try T3 -ga, but fairly interruptable. Killed one, then pulled an Ephemeral Clionid that was glowing. Checked DC, but spammed Rime Spray stronger than I was prepared for and killed us at 3%. Would've been quite easy if brother hadn't been force-feeding it TP with Joyeuse.

[Gwynplaine]

You can silence and sleep clionids easily.

[Narol]

They also stay stunned for a long while when you use Stun, too.

[Weeks]

Yeah, but was there NIN/DNC and my brother was PLD/NIN so no real option except cure spamming. Rime Spray, btw, started out doing around 300-400 AOE with the full range of Choke/Burn/Frost/Rasp/etc. (Stacking for a pretty heavy DoT) but got steadily stronger as the Clionids lost HP, to where it was doing 450-550.

[Fereydoon]

Went to Tahrongi and ran around exploring. Found a giant turtle NM near some smaller ones. Tried to kill it didn't work well, it uses TierIVAgas. But it didn't follow us when we ran. Also found some sandworms, nearby was another huge one. Didn't engage it thought time was about to run out.

Pretty cool all together.

[Gwynplaine]

Okay, so here's the thing. When you go to enter the scene progresses weirdly and will just look black and say "nothing happens" that's normal. Just hit enter and keep going til you enter the area. Seemed to confuse some people.

The initial safe camp area had about 13 NPCs I think:
Zabirego-Hajigo, Apururu, Ohruru, Hakkuru-Hinkuru, Kuriodo-Moido, Shaz Norem, and Janshura-Rashura. A Three of Diamonds guards the east exit and another cardian Two of Diamonds guards the west one.

And then the 4 function NPCs:
Cruor Prospector, Atma Infuser, Conflux Surveyor, and Machine Outfitter.

Conflux Surveryor will confirm the start of your visitor status and ask how many traversers/time you want to use up. Since its only day 1 now you only get one until you store more up every 20 hours. The Atma Infuser grants you buffs for atma I guess. And the Cruor Prospector trades in stuff for your Cruor points you get from killing enemies. Here's all the stuff he offers in Tahrongi:

==Items:

According to Atma NPC Shaz Norem there are:
8 ancient abyssites obtainable she keeps track of.
10 regular atmas to obtain
10 quests to complete

A little ways out of the canyon on the western side is the TR-01 Martello structure. Selecting it displays its remaining energy level (which was at 404 for me) and allows you to select:
Recover HP 15 of its energy points
Recover MP 30
Recover from status' 10

Continuing on there were Hecteyes mobs that conned EM at 75 named "Beholders". Then Cockatrice mobs named Cluckatrice all bunched together.

At the NorthWest corner if I-7 was Conflux #07, which required 350 Cruor points to activate. Right nearby that spot tucked in among the nearby canyon walls was a couple NPC's, mithra Mhabi Molkot, Ohbiru-Dohbiru, and another Martello machine.

That's all I managed to pick up on with my time.

[Sin Harvest]

Was a pink bird, pretty tough for a 5 man group, did damnation dive that takes off 2-3 shadows and stuns for a LOOOOOOOOONG time.

[jmc]

Did tahrongi canyon with 5 others... just exploring, and killing random mobs.

Killed a "sparkle" mob, and got this.....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...622_015218.jpg

"Viridian Abyssite of Avarice" Its under the temp key items listing.

No idea what this is for still, resting showed nothing like "normal" abyssite do.

[LidenbokValour]

Did konschat earlier on, pretty fun. Random chests where dropping rewarding 250 limit points or 250 cruor.

also this dropped
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../ANGYTHING.png

Along with an item I can't remember the name of but had the same icon as a water cluster.

That what appears to be an organ is stackable so going to be interesting what it turns into.

Also came acrosss a ??? that asked for an item, probably an NM spawn point.
