Abyssea - Tahrongi Discussion

[miokomioko]

Just tried to solo Yearner on 80 PUP/NIN. Like I said before, very high resist rates for magic. I fucked it up a few times and had to waste like 18 minutes for Activate and almost died of Promyvion Brume poison (12hp/tick). You can actually use a Martello while kiting this stupid mob, so that saved my life. On top of fucking up, it took a bit of time to get into the groove of deploying, retrieving, and activating only when it was Carouselling just out of range (it's actually so slow that in melee range, you can back out of AoE range). I managed to get it down to 46% when it raged and Carousel, which normally took off 1/4 of my automaton's HP (not a huge deal), one-shot her. I put up reraise and tried to melee it and it was absolutely impossible to hit.

Went in twice today, both with full 18 alliances. First one went really well, 90 minutes 45-50k xp 6k cruor but NO time extensions at all. Second one, 18 people, 1 left after 30 minutes 3 after 60 mins. No puller, we were just roaming on mandys to start with. One giant chest dropped a sandpaper key item i think and we got 1 TE. Random huh? :D

[Neosutra]

May have been noted, but repops on NMs that are already up (sandworm/turtle/gnat/etc) is 1 hour.

Additionally, anyone else noticing shittier drops now Q.Q?

[Seol]

I just asked Alatar/Morph (We share the same VNM shell) They both said it came from a big chest with a "lol" after, take it as you will :<

[Seraphise]

Just killed Bhumi 4X, Never increased in difficulty. The person who pulled got the Key Item, no one else did. http://i45.tinypic.com/8yfeaf.jpg

Nothing amazing, but atleast it gets me excited for potential augments on better quality items

Our group has been going in regularly since the update, and has been benefiting immensely from info here so a tyvm up front.

Myself, I have tried to keep up with the original thread and now this one the whole time but sorry if i missed something about our occurrence tonight being previously covered.

We had a 60min run, killed couerl NM twice, got sentry belt only on the kill we were able to trigger the blue "!!" on, weren't able to narrow down the cause between elemental DoTs, Dancing Edge, or Arching Arrow. Someone said they thought it was WS's from behind the mob, bc we had a similar incident w/ his "!!" from gekko's before, same thing though seemed to do it when WS'd from behind. Thats our small contribution, now for the part i'm inquiring about.

We decided to go try the t2 VNM again after the couerls and out of the 2 times i've popped it, it was always in the same spot, northernmost tip of the turtles. So as we headed there, the rng spotted the ephemeral mob by turtles, and as we all got there we realized the VNM wasnt in that area. So the rng pulled the ephemeral mob and it "seemed" to spawn a whole set of corses, Wiederganger's, just like normal family sets of mobs. I say "seemed" to spawn bc I can't definitively say "We pulled the Ephemeral Clionid, and the Corses popped" but what I do know for sure is:

-The corses were not up when we got there.
-Someone spotted the corses while the rng was pulling the ephemeral clionid back to camp.
-They were up walking around while we killed the clionid, and remained to do so just like a normal family of mobs until we timed out, even re-spawning.
-It was around 16:00 game-time when this all happened.

Out of complete curiosity we farmed them the remaining 15-20ish minutes to try and get something worthwhile, unfortunately we were unsuccessful. We got a handful of corse robes, corse bracelets, and BS/KS's but nothing of any note, besides a forbidden key near the end. They aggro'd HP, and Sight but did not link, and thats pretty much all we were able to learn.

[miokomioko]

Sounds like they are simply night-time undeads? I have spent a lot of time in that zone, wandering around and I have yet to see one Corse. It would have to be quite coincidental that I had just never been in that area at night if that were the case.

[aaronrules33]

Not out of the realm of possibility, and not hard to test I guess. Is the moaning vestige still undiscovered? That was my thought when we were trying to get something off of them, as far as i know it hasn't been found elsewhere but I'm nowhere near 100% on that.

Could this be where Moaning Vestage drops I wonder?

[Uwen]

Got this a little while ago.

Also tried Chukwa, but we started to time out around 10% and the last few members who had time leftover from previous runs managed to whittle it down to 1% before they died and it depop.

Edit: I was the only one to receive the key item i believe, will confirm later when I play again. I was the puller and first to act on the NM.

[Elrik]

I saw the corses on a run today. They hang between the turtles and the gnats, northish. I thought it was weird that the where not listed on the map.

[Rocl]

I know people have little reason to lie about this sort of thing, but it is a difficult pill for me to swallow. If anyone else sees Corses can they jot down some quick information? (Time of day, maybe ephmereal mobs?, screenshots to know I'm not dreaming?)

If they do indeed drop moaning vestige, that is very odd--as the ??? is way far south, near base camp. My thought was simply the Corse NM would be "always up" named Michtalentuanil or w/e. Ungh. wtf mate

[Massimo]

Definitely saw Corses up on yesterdays run, named Weidergangers. NE/E of the turtles as it's been said. I'm not sure what time of day it was though.

[Djtaku]

Has it been asked, and if not, do you need the clear abyssite in order to get these coloured drops like the Viridan one?

I took several screenshots but am unable to post. I actually looked through my old screenshots and found one of us doing the teir2 VNM in what I recalled to be the same place, but I couldnt verify it without a doubt due to lack of an indisputable landmark, and said screenshot was at 16:01 game time and no corses, so now I seem to be refuting my own evidence but someone checking after 17~18:00 game time could verify, I'm sure. Unless its not a day/night factor but otherwise, be it moon phase or whatever.

[Uubu]

so there is still no one that has fought glavoid doesnt bode well for empryean weapon upgraders

[urat]

Glavoid shell actually looks like an ant, which makes me wonder if maybe there's a spot like boneyard where the NM sits and waits underground til you wander overtop and pop it?

Are there any antlions in the dats for tahronghi? If so that could be what we want. It could very well be he sits in some far off corner of tahronghi for us to walk over him and pop...

[Uubu]

Pretty certain glavoid is a t3 vnnm same carbarosse and belias, just weird no one has gotten to it yet

[urat]

By VNNM do you mean VNM? As in you pop them via resting with abyssites?

Or are you meaning pop NMs?

[Sumiko]

Does anyone know the exact pop conditions for Manananggal?

Shikigami style--? Does it aggro Sneak/Invis or ONLY Yellow HP? Don't want to cross paths with it again if we're not ready since it hits like a mountain.
