Got in an argument with this guy about random ***..
He was a ***! Maybe I am too, but that is not the point!
At 1 Am.. I couldn't take it anymore! I had to go to sleep..
I woke up the next morning, and they were still going at it!
So I joined them again <.<
Got my 6th level 80! So I mentioned that it was my 6th.. Right?
That *** was still there..
He says, "NO LIFE!"
I'm like, "Dude.. You've been here since 4pm yesterday -.-"
It was 10 Am The next morning XD
Was that my run? I dont remember arguing with anyone? Tahrongi bats?

So after doing a bit of fishing and talking to others lugworm seems to be one of the better (best?) bait to use. A few places sell it for like 9-12 gil each and from what I've seen no fish in la theine bite on it so you get only items and mobs

Oh yeah so I just watched some folks kiting Briareus around the pools in la theine where the fey are. It didn't seem to have any movement speed so most the time no one was in range even the "tanks."
Also has anyone seen the notes on wiki? 58,505~585,055 HP
wtf is up with that range!?!

Weaknesses are still being figured out. There is a chart on wiki that is being made to hopefully identify a pattern for each NM. Looking for the link now...
It's been reported that abyssea NMs rage after 60 minutes.
Edit:
Apparently it was moved.

Some people arent just HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, but HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE enough to put 2 BRD's in the BLM pt.

The funniest xp manaburn I had on blm was 4 blms 1 cor 1 smn. Even the badly geared blms did awesome dmg and we always had mp lol. Plus we could've /sch if we had wanted to
Obviously ghorn brds break that rule a bit lol

Just bought expansion, little confused about something.
I used my stone to enter two areas. Then I couldn't enter a third? How come? I still had 29 minutes of visitant status left. I'm really confused as to how this works.
When I go back, do I still have those 29 minutes?

Yes your time is banked unless you logout in abyssea. If you spent a minute in each zone while under visitant status you would be down to 27 minutes for simplicity sake. So.. that being said what most ppl do is take one stone...get 30 minutes "stored" then go get 3 more stone's. When u go back to w/e zone u trade all 3 stones and get close to 120 minutes. (119 is what I usually get). Just try get in with a group who knows what they're doing when it comes to fighting mobs. It could make a whole world of difference. LS mates went in the other day for 4hrs ish and came out with 200k exp and 60k curor.

I got invited to a ton of Abyssea groups on my WHM, even though I had only the original stone. Tonight, I'd hopefully have 55~ minutes. Could I gain time? O.o

You can in theory depending on how time chests drop. Time chests give you +10 minutes and on the run I went to yesterday, we got 3 TE chests in a row.

Thanks for the time to respond to my post. No, basically from what I understand, the 3 NM's for Peiste HNM (zone boss) won't drop the key items to pop zone boss if A.) popper died at some point during the battle and B.) The NM didn't rage or have the "!!" marks over its head at some points- which reportedly is when they rage. We only got 1/3 NM's to get the !! over its head and we got the key item, and it certainly wasn't alive for more than 5 minutes.

Ah I see thanks...not yet known...not sure what we did on the hippogryph NM to trigger. We did the Wirve and haven't tried the eye yet. Sounds like basically cast w/e you have or ws and hope for the best at this point?

You can get the key item without proc'ing !! and you can proc the !! without getting key item. You can also !! NMs that don't even drop key item triggers.
Same appears to be so with Atma (gotten it without !!).

Thanks, guess we'll keep trying. We we're 1/1 when !! and 0/2 w/o.
These zones have so much to explore! Its great to see all this info on chests and exp, but I hope we keep getting more revalations on gear and nm's!
Ninja edit, thats a mouthful above ^ xD

Quetzalcoatl.Degeneration said: Carbuncle.Zanno said: So, we just tried the Mesa Wivre's in konschtat, because every other mob in every zone was taken.
Know I know why these werent taken.
At first we were like "Oh these are squishy, they die really fast" but the we were like "FFFFFFUUUUUUU"
Aparently they have some spike flail move. ppl died, a lot. we went home
end of story.
2 days ago, we did the Mesa wivre's since there were alot of camps had been taken. We killed them too fast, but we got these crazy linkga. We survived this Mesa Wivre camp until Abyssea kicked us out. It was good if you can kill faster before next wivre pops. We've noticed they came in 2 different sizes under the same name. One is large and another one is small. Sometimes We got 200exp from One, but next one we got like 110 exp. They don't break a chain as long as it is the same type mob.
Some families (particularly/exclusively? in Konschtat) have mini versions. They give double cruor, half exp. And they also look really cute<3
Also, don't fight wivre from the back or front, they can use Cripple/Batterhorn respectively in those cases (not to mention you'll hit for 0 after Granite Skin or whatever).

Yeah, using the term rage isn't accurate when talking about the !! weaknesses. I've only heard of one situation of a NM going apeshit after the !! was triggered (I don't have the link handy, either).
My group triggered yellow !! on Piasa yesterday with blizzard III and got full drops. =D
Unfortunately those were our only drops last night.

Did they nerf TE boxes? I just did a run and got one TE in 1 hour usually get 5-6. I am hoping we just had bad luck with blue boxes anyone else who does 12-20 hour runs not getting blue boxes as frequently anymore?
