Don't forget Aquiline Belt! (lol)

Is there a minimum repop time for the Bhumi mobs?

[Michelob]

I don't remember seeing it posted anywhere but does anyone know what's the deal with the Ephemeral Clionid/Limule mobs in this zone? Is there some known reason or condition why they appear/dissappear from the zone completely or has it just been written off as another abyssea mystery?

They seem to be lottery mobs popping off kills of other monster types.

[Rehn]

Well, answered my own question. Seems they run on a 15 min repop timer. 0/12 so far on abyssite.

Any in particular or are they a lotto of each mob group?

When I was hunting them, it seemed like there was only one limule and one clionid up at a time, and they could change what set of mobs they're hanging out with. I've seen a clionid in the manticore area depop, and couldn't find it for a while. It turns out it was in the south part of the eft area (I was /rng so my scan was small).

[nyaraa]

What are Irathams projected drops considering what items are left over undiscovered from then? Are they even worth giving a crap about?

Is owleyes still not found? Mabey that drops from him as well?

[Massimo]

Owleyes is from Myrmecoleon.

[Byrthnoth]

HP+95 Ring is the only thing I can remember. It's these six items minus the ones Myrm drops:

Owleyes - Myrm
Kengo Hachimaki (GKT) - Iratham
Timarli Jawshan
Meridian Ring - Iratham
Aquiline Belt
Tactical Mantle - Myrm I think

I remember Myrm's drops being weird in a way I didn't predict, but I forget how.

Interesting. However, the last two days that I was looking for them I scanned the entire zone and neither of them were up at all. Based on what ronin sparthos is saying... If the Ephemeral mobs aren't up at all in the zone then I should be able to lottery pop them by killing some family of mobs?

[Exoda]

just got owned by Myrm on Valefor, i don't know whats pop condition but this is what happened to us:
popped Lachrymater and ran south to fighting area, on my ApRadar i saw Myrm and didnt aggro me or anyone...until Lachrymater walked over Myrm's spot..it popped, ate Lachrymater, then wiped us.
i saw it pop like normal underground antillions but it hit Lachrymater and: Lachrymater Falls to the ground.
and while fighting, other antillions popped from underground even when no one went to them, they kept popping and hitting people, and they weren't there before on ApRadar

[fredjanx]

Myrm actually started aggroing before the 85 maint. He aggroes in a way similar to Fistule + Guimauve (but you use the witchstone nm instead). The adds pop in a similar way to the rostrum pumps nm.

[Rehn]

What was the pos where myrm popped on you?

[Massimo]

Myr is either slighty north, south or in the Lamenter camp. He moves every 5? minutes.

Every time he uses Sandpit, an add will pop up from the ground, ambushing a random (seemed to possibly cycle through the party list in some order) target in your alliance. If the add kills whoever it just popped on, it depops. Adds' HP goes down like 6%~/tic from pop, but doesn't have much HP nor really hits hard, so they're easily taken out by 2 nukes.

Gravitic Horn seemed to be the only real annoyance, as it occasionally 1-shotted our people and did anywhere between 800~ and 3k+ damage. I'm assuming a proper MDT set will make this survivable by most.


All-in-all, not really a hard NM, but it's' a lot easier when nuked down 'cause of limited TP feeding.

Can Bhumi be slept (sleep/sleep II)? I want to solo him as 85 BLM/WHM.

No, Bhumi can't be slept.

[userix]

No, Bhumi can't be slept.

drats. Can he be bound? Dont have RDM for gravity kite.

[Michelob]

I'm fairly sure that I remember bind being resisted. If you're going to try to solo him on BLM, I'd just stack buffs (cruor, atma, SS, blink, aqauveil etc.) and try to get 3-4 nukes off as soon as you can to knock him down. Not sure how well that would work without phalanx, though. Feasible if you have a solid -PDT set. If you come up short he is pretty easy to outrun.

Seeing as you don't have /RDM though... it's probably wise to just grab another BLM and duo it easily.

[Spira]

just so you know he's really really weak.. 2-3 good Aero nukes would easily down him and you could probably keep up just with blink/ss.. not even mana wall prolly.
