Abyssea - Attohwa Discussion

[EternalSnow]

From what I've seen: When we did Attohwa on Monday for farming on Watersday Yaanei was up. First off I would like to say it's complete BS that it depops randomly. It does not depop randomly at all it just stays up. We killed it and about 1 hr later it was back up. I have also seen people say stuff like "From 40 distance away i got aggro from it" That is also not true at all. I'm not sure where some of those people are getting that from. Also, it seems to be a 1hr repop or lower after iron clad's death possibly.

Countless times I have tried to claim Yaanei and other caturae only to have them depop before we can get someone there. It's not BS in the slightest. There's some condition that's checked every vana hr. The few people I've talked to about it seems to think it's related to activity in the zone, since it seems to stay up longer when less people are in the zone. Possibly related to the Avatar in zone, but thats pure speculation still.

I recently did the Looking For Lookouts quest in an attempt to get my final seal for a head piece and Yaanei popped on the mountain quite a few times. Each time he spawned he targeted me with a spell from a ridiculous distance and it would still cast even though I was well beyond range. This only happened when he spawned, afterwards, if he was roaming around he would have a seemingly normal aggro distance and casting range.

[Drystyn]

I've seen Sippoy depop right in front of me before I could claim, but my ls has also killed 2 Kutharei about 30-40 minutes apart during a single run, and those Kutharei didn't seem to be depopping or going anywhere. (There also seemed to be plenty of people in the zone besides us at the time.)

I've also seen Sippoy up at the same time as the Ironclad, but plenty of others have mentioned seeing both at the same time. We were in Attohwa about 4 hours today but Yaanei wasn't to be seen anywhere.

[Cymmina]

It's probably just coincidence, but both times my group has farmed Amarillia for seals, Sippoy spawned. The first time, we were there for 4~ hours and he spawned around our 2nd hour. We weren't building time very well on our second run, but he was up when I had 60 minutes left. Only fought it once each night.

[Mahoro]

The only condition I can think of in the new zones that hasn't been tested for the Caturae is the Bastion cores. Is it possible they can only be up if a certain core is taken/recaptured?

So basically for Sandworm and Iztapa just bring a bunch of blms some rdms 1 brd and 1 pld for emergency ?

Both of them can be "easily" kited ?

Shouldn't need the pld or brd. The biggest problem with sandworm would be people mpk'ing each other with its casting and people curing it at low %. Itza shouldn't be a problem at all and can be kited without movement speed on any job (I've done it whm/sch and once on brd with only an instrument equipped.

[Tyramut]

I realized the other night as we were popping some Ulhuadshi's that its name is probably a reference to the famous Dune sci-fi novels, as its name is a direct anagram of Shai'Hulud, the worm god/ emperor of the universe etc!

I found it pretty cool.

That's so odd. Because it was up for more than an hour or longer when we were farming there. May be something causes it to depop or stay up.

RDM RDM BRD BLM can win easily. You could probably cut out the BLM if brd/drk stuns stick, seems to only cast death after memento mori and half decent RDMs won't die to hadal summons.


Pet jobs are mindless. Aside from that, RDM does easily twice the damage a pet job could ever dream of putting out on anything with >10 lvcorrect.

Sorry to quote this old post... but that means u can also kite kill him? (Does he has any kind of movement speed) ? (im talking about the Corse ( Titla etc etc..)

[Xerlic]

Corse is easy to kite. Bring it south of the pop spot and there's a rock you can use. It has no movement speed.

[fredjanx]

You could also pin it if you want.

[Thorny]

I didn't bother kiting or pinning, but I guess you could.

[S N K]

Just a slight bump but I was looking for Yaanei a few times and when I finally made it to the top of the mountain earlier I saw a Hannequet just as I was coming with green NPC colors. Before I had even a chance to click on it, it despawned.

[takito09]

Btw.. so the theory of killing avatars... is also speculation ? my ls also been trying to fight yaneei for long time... and we never find it up

We tried with killing iron <.< but i think that's not true
I also been looking from 00 to 4 am and not up...

The only thing i have not tested yet is killing avatars in zone.. anyone tried that?

[Salmijr]

Theory is looking more like, it can pop every hour, on the hour. Random is random. It's been made to be a uncampable/bottable mob I guess. Wide pop area, random depop time, etc.

Short of DS scanning, you just have to check if its up every game hour.

[S N K]

Update on Yaanei camping. I've seen it up twice on Icesday, once on Earthsday and twice on thundersday. each time it has despawned at excatly 16:00. I've never been able to catch him popping tho.

[Odin'sLaw]

if all Caturae are the same (to a point) the killing the avatars have nothing to do with them popping, sunday from 6pm gmt-11pm gmt no Jala was killed, Kutharei pop around 8:30pm my ls killed him then went to do IP as we left the zone (about 11:07pm) LS Leader spotted the Kutharei 2nd pop about 11:12pm seem's to just pop randomly/whenever it ****ing feels like lol but got a free COR mantle for my not even unlocked COR

[Randorn]

I camped Yaanei last night from 16:00 till he popped on Iceday at ~10:30 iceday. Seemed to only have regular aggro range. We got both RDM and BST AF3 accessories.
