Does any1 know if Qutrub give Amber light, or is it only worms wyrms turtles that give amber/ruby?

[Thorny]

Qutrub give ruby, but not amber.

[Reiterpalasch]

Just curious, but has anyone ever seen a creed collar drop after soloing chukwa? I've killed this stupid turtle a good 15-20 times now, and have only seen 3 bows, a @#$% load of eggs, and random shit like mugwort.

I've only ever seen grellow !! after blizz 3, but only when cast with my RDM (I don't remember ever seeing it when solo on BLM). Am i missing something here? Do I need to trigger a different !!, or does my luck just suck that bad?

[Lilswitche]

I got Creed collar to drop on my very first solo kill. I didn't get any !!'s, no bow, just collar and eggs. It's pure luck.

All I needed to know, thanks! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting my time.

[Fereydoon]

RDM duo or trio strat for the corse and the wyrm?

[Aurara]

rdm rdm blm can trio corse, can probably trio wyrm. for corse nuke when its not nuking and just dont get hit by drain. Wyrm you'd have to ask somebody else...but i know rdmx2 and blm can do it.

Mict - Kiting strat

Rock between Chukwa and Corses, run around it. He struggles to path around the bottom part of the rock but is pretty fast around the top. Careful of HP if on Corses side as adds can get close. He casts spells only after a standard casting delay so you will never be hit by a -ga followed by a Drain for instance. All of his spells are weak minus Drain and are not dangerous - MDT set can help but is definitely not needed. Keep Para/Slow up (Para in particular procs a lot) and as mentioned do not cast when he's casting or using a TP move. Dispel Momento Mori and for Charm, Diaga and Sleep the offending RDM assuming they have Stoneskin up. Movement speed makes the kiting a lot easier but is not necessary.

Straight tanking - simple concept, just ping pong it until it dies. Obviously spread out so you don't get hit by a -ga all at once and choose a suitable location (around turtles is nice). Same concepts as above, can use the rock during an emergency if you're close.

Cuelebre - RDM/SCH is the god job for this. MDT or Earth Resist highly recommended. Keep up Slow, Para can stick but is hard to get to do so and he resists Poison a lot. Use height to your advantage such that only one RDM gets hit by his AoEs at any one time. Remember Light Arts has access to Erase under Addendum: White. Drain and Aspir are both incredibly effective (and CS Drain can zerg a good 10%+ of his HP per RDM - recommended to use at low %). He has two distinct modes: "easy mode" and "hard mode". During easy mode, can use strategems on Parsimony and stuff. When he hits "hard mode" around 50%~ HP, he will regularly do a 2hr animation and spam Ochre Blast on you (albeit with considerable delay between blasts). Change to Light Arts, use Celerity as necessary, and spam Stoneskin against it. It's very dangerous if you're not prepared but if you know how to deal with it, it's not bad at all. You can't dispel his Stoneskin so don't even try and it does get progressively stronger at lower HP. Bai Wing can do a fearsome amount of damage occasionally (I am assuming it is where it is 100% unresisted) so be ready for it (~600 damage without Stoneskin) - on that note, keep up Barstone. Remember he can't interrupt you in any way, shape, or form.

There are some thoughts presented in a disorganised manner :D

[Guitarman]

So based on how mobs have been spawning, aren't the antlions/irithram due possibly today?

[ronin sparthos]

Isn't there maint tomorrow? That'd be a better possible time for things to go active.

The SE community notes stated we still haven't "figured out" how to pop Iratham, so I doubt he is a time spawned mob like the rest.

[Spira]

but they also failed to mention Myrmecoleon.. which we havent seen around either

[Odin'sLaw]

so what items are we still missing from the .dats pulled? (presuming antie and mr cosplay Keffa are holding them)

[Priran]

afaik no one has actually cleared walk of echoes paths 4, 6, and 7 so there's going to be more unknown items than just those 2 NMs' drops.

[Lovex]

They don't even know the names of their products. Whoever wrote that community note should be fired.. or shot. Whichever is fine. It was that bad.

The same person probably doesn't even know what Irithram is. Probably doesn't even know what Abbysea is. I would take those notes with a grain of salt.

[Rocl]

Well, for the most part all rare/ex items come from Abyssea and all non-flagged items are WoE drops. So I think we can get a pretty good idea of what drops from the antlion and Iratham.

(I can't remember everything but Aquiline Belt, Timarli Jashwan, Owleyes and Meridian Ring jump to my mind)

[cdgreg]

For Weapons, Not Worries quest, can I buy hardened bones of the AH and turn them in?

[Carraway]

Yup.

[Shadida]

Owleyes
Meridian Ring
Timarli Jawshan
Aquiline Belt
Tactical Mantle
Kengo Hachimaki

are the r/e items still unaccounted for.

[Avarice]

Is it normal to be 0/15 on the Fat-lined Cockatrice Skin from Alectryon, or are we just going through an unfortunately large streak of bad luck?
