Does anyone know if Levi was the first server to get antlion NM as well?

Iratham is up on lakshmi just not popped.

[Phoenixtail]

After seeing him having appeared to have popped and depopped at 100% on my mappy in a few places, I finally ran into him today. Even after my encounter I noticed that he seemed to pop and depop around 0:00. When I ran into him, he popped after 0:00 and depopped before 1:00 as his marker on mappy would have moved since I last came through, always near the central mountains by flux 7.

Spoilered for size.

anyone have any low man strategy tips on adze.

3 would have to be the bare minimum for it, it has an attack speed/rate similar to Sarameya if I can compare it to anything. The only difficult part outside of that is the en-doom, it seems to rotate through all of its en-spell effects every minute or two, en-petrify/doom being the only truly annoying ones. Ive killed with as low as 5 at 80 pld rdm brd blm blm, I could see a MNK BRD RDM group doing it with proper atma. RDM tank maybe? Its not easy by any stretch.

Just found Iratham up while farming chloris pops at 1:10 game clock(feeds into time theory!). Killed, got Aquiline Belt and Meridian Ring. Setup was awful, had WAR RDM SMN and a few misc people leeching exp.. poor atma configuration, insufficient buffs to start since scared of depop/etc, so hard to get a proper idea of the fight. Guessing it'd be a joke on WHM + MNK, was (relatively) easy to hold on RDM/NIN after my WAR died. Used a move called Shadow Wreck that dealt 2400 damage to an unzerked WAR with protect/shell and granted it a magic aura. Also used Malign Invocation for nearly 2k damage. Magic damage seemed to vary, early on wasn't too bad but near the end my mule ate a blizzaga4 for 1700 with MDT gear and shell.. we were fighting about 20 minutes so I don't believe it raged.

Sounds slightly harder than the other Caturae, but nothing overly difficult. It's spawning in the same place, or is it popping randomly throughout the zone?

Sarameya? You shouldn't need atma to do it mnk brd rdm. Just dispel its haste when it does cirmine, erase elegy/slow/para etc when it transfer debuffs, and apply debuffs again. As long as you don't get gimmicked out by cursna not working it should be fine.

Seems pretty random. Personally seen it near Cuelebre, that one was at Chloris ???, and some of the other reports are by manticores.

Done with 2x rdm/nin at 85.. Though make sure you have some rr and holywaters because en-doom can be a bitch sometimes.

[Raen Ryong]

RDM can solo Adze. Duo makes it a lot easier/quicker. Use Mict rock.

What's the Mict rock?

[Yugl]

The rock that is between the Corse and the Turtles.

Iratham up on Cerberus.

It's depopped, so can't give you any more information than that other than its appeared on this server. This is pretty much right next to Chloris pop.
As for pop method, I've been killed a lot of NMs in this zone and turning in Crimson Bloodstones, Tahrongi on Cerberus is usually completely empty these days aside from BSTs hunting Bhumi for merit abyssite.

It follows a certain pop pattern, I've been following it for the past two days. It also roams around a set area, I've followed it more than once and it ran the exact same pathway more than once. The fight is not hard, just a mixture of the worst TP moves off all the other caturae, and all of its spells are supercharged, 1500 aga3 to a PLD in MDB/MDT setup is not uncommon. It seems to cast a different spell everytime its been fought, but it doesn't really correspond to the day it popped (ex: fire spells and dispel on thundersday). BLM is essentially useless as it has a magic aura a lot of the time, but you need a stunner for the aga. As for the pop conditions, if I had to guess, it was killing Myrmeceleon (or however you spell it). That or Manananananannanaa

[vagus]

About to attempt Chloris this weekend. Any thing i should know about this giant mandy?

[Khiinroye]

Mages z-axis by where it pops, watch out for Fatal Cry (aoe doom). Its hundred fists is really weak.

[AidenCarby]

Bring a ton of holy waters, if your pdt set is half decent hundred derps isn't bad. Fanatic's tonic/powders are always nice to have in back pocket.

[Massimo]

WAR and MNK rocks hundred fists. Don't waste fanatics, just get a mage or two that knows how to cure. Holy waters after Fatal Scream if you didn't bring a good stunner. It's a fucking joke of a fight.

[Thorny]

If you didn't bring a good stunner? Stun bot on a new computer using only one POL instance doesn't catch it half the time..

still not a very hard fight, mnk and whm can duo
