Really wish Sugaar dropped it. I hope Lyft Lance is worth that NM though.

[Linear]

Got it to pop. DRG/WHM with Wyrm Armet solo'd with relative ease. Baraera is very helpful. Stormwind damage seems to scale down with NMs HP. No drop.

Rage with this has reached critical mass. I'll come back in a week when it's safe to actually go kill the PH without basically handing the NM to some other lazy fuck.

EDIT: Is it sad that I saw KV spawn before I saw this bird spawn?

[Linear]

KV popped right after I killed it. LS has ToD now. C'mon Ace's helm!

[Cream Soda]

Since when did ToD help w/ KV? lol that thing always goes over window.

[Linear]

A general time to look for it. better than sitting out in Altepa for god knows how long with an entire LS. With Tod, you can head out an hour before hand and see how the weatehr is going to be for the next 3 hours.

[.Sotek.]

Well, no one was there in the morning. Too bad it spawned right when I had to leave for uni
Spawn seemed random to me. Neither of us had killed any birds for a while and it was just there. Well, 0/1 atleast.

[RikenUni]

ok, seriously, fuck this NM. 0/4. solo'd as sam/dnc all 4 times. had a thf with me twice, first time i had to kill it before the thf could get there. second time, pls and thf in party wiped before i got there and it regened back to 100%. never have more then 200 hp when its dead

Didn't you say you solo'd it all 4 times? Then you said you had a THF with you?

[Cream Soda]

If the thf isn't an active participant in the fight and is there simply for treasure hunter, I still consider it solo.

For example, I would solo Jailer of Foritude on mnk. It takes me about an hour and a half to solo. While I was soloing it I would ask my thf friend to come on thf/blm, cast fire on it and warp. I still consider it a solo >.>

[RikenUni]

The first fight I did with thf in fight, he was running to me but I killed it before he got there. The second time the thf was in pt, him and pld were duo'ing it while I ran up from the PH spawn point. They wiped and it regen'd back to full before I got there, they lay'd dead while I killed it. So yes, solo'd every time.

[Aleera]

So then the THF had no real active participation in adding TH4 to any of your kills?

[RikenUni]

notta, unless thf being in party activates it or even if they die, hitting it activates it but i'm pretty sure they have to be on hate list

but once the thf warps out, he's no longer on the hate list, so it was a waste of his time...

Doesn't work like that. Once TH is on, it's on till the mob dies or goes unclaimed and regains to full. The thf could come and do something to the mob, log out, delete his character, and uninstall ffxi from his computer and TH will still be active.

I had thought your serket solo on mnk with gilfinder thing, when thf wiped, showed that assuming TH is the same, that they stay on even if they die, or did it not regen?

Well, there is something you and I will never agree on. Good luck to you.

Yes, assuming that gilfinder and and TH work the same (except one for gil and one for drops), then TH stays on after the thf is on the hate list. Serket drops 20k in gil when defeating it, but when the party with the thf in it had wiped, I picked up the mob from there and finished it off, at which point the thf had already HP'd, so was no longer even in the same zone, and when I killed it, I got 30k instead of 20k (also ring + vclaw). I see no reason why Gilfinder would stay on, but TH would mysteriously disappear.

As for regen, I'm not 100% sure. If there are other campers, I will claim right away, but if there isn't any competition, I will let it regen at least 1 tic as to reset rage timer. I don't happen to particularly remember which was the case that day.

Saying TH disappears would be a less reliable assumption than saying it stays on, based on gillfinder's behavior

No clue on how to get the Sarissa yet I guess?

It's assumed "base" has been found from the Elvaan Formor NM in Garliege Citadel [S], one of the ones who level up on certain actions, and it's safe to it's not really obtainable atm the part two of update will probably allow the base to be upgrade to it somehow which should be soon...
