Our last NM Extravaganza was such a success, and I've posted a request to help me get my NM again (which, thus far, hasn't dropped jack that I want). So I'd figure I'd ask to see what other NMs in the area people need so we can try to build another NM Extravaganza event.
Read on for more...
Recap
To recap, the NM I need is Beryl-footed Molberry, who is a spawned NM (you don't have to camp him). The details for spawning him can be found here. If you want to help out with this event, please read that post and go get the rattler if you can and feel so inclined.
Other NMs
Here is a list of other NMs that I know people need in the area. To make the most out of events like these we really do need to kill multiple NMs. Note this is a just a list of possible NM choices we could add to the event, it isn't a final list by any means.
- Hurricane Wyvern - Drops: Wyvern Skull
Needed by: Cyclonus
This mob is 75-78, which means we will probably need a party of people 70-75 at a minimum, or a couple of BSTs. Perhaps Cyc can explain more.
- Rose Garden - Drops: Vilma's Ring
Needed by: Avayr and Tamara
This mob can be soloed by anyone 70+, the problem is his spawn is every 9-10 hours only if the place holder is not killed. In other words, for an event like this we will only get him if we happen upon him.
- Carthi & Tiphia
Needed by: Darkkit (and anyone else who needs ZM5)
Two monkeys spawned by the people on this mission. They are techincally in Yuhtunga Jungle but only from the Ifrit's zone-line.
- Trompe L'Oeil
Needed by: Anyone doing the "A Question of Taste" quest.
Simple quest starting in Kazham that is a prerequisite for the Tonberry hate reset quest.
- Death from Above - Drops: Hornetneedle (Knife)
Needed by: Meretrix
Spawned by trading a Bee Larvae to a ???. It is solo at 70.
In addition to these, other people may need coffer keys, WSNMs, or even ZM3 items.
So, if we were to do this, when would work out for those who need some of these? Also, are there any other NMs (preferably spawnable) that you'd like to try for?

NM Event
I enjoyed the last NM Event =^_^=
Cyclonus says we get impatient waiting for things to sell - well, yes, folks enjoy their gils! LOL! Cyclonus is correct though, we do not need another Hocho.
Rose Garden - I really think he should be pulled from the list. He is way out of the way and nothing else of interest in the area. Also his drop rate is said to be 10%
Are we voting for when? Not on Sunday Evenings, nor on Wednesday Evenings, for me.
Days
Uh... I said those things, actually :-P
Ok, so Sundays and Wednesdays are out. Any other days you'd prefer?
Right now, I'm aiming for Saturday evening.

Day I Prefer
I actually would prefer a day Cyclonus could make the NM Farming Run. So if Cyclonus were to vote for a Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri or Sat I would vote for that day also.
Which means we are at a minimum of three since I do believe we three would show up for your event!
And you are absolutely correct - you said 'no more Hocho', not Cyclonus! =^_^=
BAH BAGS
Yeah, but Cyc hasn't commented on a day yet, has he? I usually have to actually pick a time before I find out that rat bastard can't show.
Also, I'd really like Avayr there as well. Avayr + Maior can tear my NM a new one long before he gets to 2 hour.

WTH is a "BAH BAG?"
I am available any day next week, except for Friday evening* and Saturday evening.
*Every time around this year, my {Mega Boss} becomes "Broadway crazy." Since the Tony Awards are held in June, it gives her license to become grossly infatuated with every show and pay a premium for tickets - primarily because there are thousands of other {Mega Bosses} who have the same stupid thought pattern and love to see shows that win a bazillion awards that no one gives a shite about….GAH!
BAH TUNIC
A "BAH BAG" is a bag of bah's... duh.
So you wont be avail. this weekend? BAH. I was aiming for this weekend to do it since after that my weekends get complicated (in-laws, parents, bah, everyone's coming to visit).
I was going to aim for the 17th.

This weekend
Oh, I didn't know this weekend was an option, if it is sure... I'll tag along (just not in the evening).
17th is fine for me, prior to 6:30 Eastern.
1pm EDT?
How does 1pm EDT sound? That was what I was leaning towards.
Vis Maior's Journeys
http://maior.samhart.net/
Sure.
Sounds sexy.
Gah
Cyclonus says we get impatient waiting for things to sell - well, yes, folks enjoy their gils! LOL! Cyclonus is correct though, we do not need another Hocho.
Gah, I never said that. Although, I do agree :-p
Stinking gas ftw!!!
Stinking Gas>>>> Mazurka
Hurricane Wyvern
Gross exaggerated mob.
It has a couple of attacks that can hurt, but nothing to the point of death. Davros can tank if he is available :-) Hell, with decent healing magic and Paeon x2 up, Maior could tank it.
The real chore is getting to the spawn area with a party of 4-5 people. However, if we have a stunner; we can easily take all mobs in IC (save the Ash Dragon).
Really, the "dangers of IC..." come on now...
HAHAHAHA
WE HAVE A STUNNER>>>>> ME! if its like a saterday, maybe a friday, or even a sunday i'm available and willing to kick those wyrvens asses again.
bullshit
I am the No. 1 stunner!!!! Avayr pwns all stunners!!!
Avayr the number one Stunner!
Okay.
So given that you are the number one stunner... when do you want to come and Stun a little, tiny, wimpy, Ant Lion for Tamara? =^_^=
BAH
No stunning is necessary if you just have enough firepower.
This whole stunning "requirement" is only there if you have no people over 70 to help out.
When we did Cyc's ant, it was just me, Avayr, and Cyc. Avayr and I skillchained and the thing was dead before it even had a chance to break for its home.

Other NM's
I still need my Moldivite Earring These is equivalent to 10 INT. Its Dropped by this fellow; Mysticmaker. The nice thing about him is i here Unst needs AM's and he drops Burst, also cyc is lvling blm, he too will eventual want this.><
I'd like my Shaman's Cloak... This is dropped off of Centurio X-I, we could always kill his brother Centurio XII-I and get the Intruder Earing this is good for NIN and Rng especial who eat food with MP that just goes to waste.. ergo Tacos.
Other NM's in the Elshimo region we could kill...
Manipulator drops the Hard shield. Good low lvl PLD/RDM/BST item.
Sozu Rogberry drops the Thf knife.
Sozu Sarberry drops the hocho.
Gol and myself still need the ZM 4 fight too...
Milo's NMs
Well, I am 0/4 on that Antican biotch (0/3 solo - BRDs shouldn't have to solo NMs; it's not cool...).
I'm down for camping that Antican some time. I'll need a Moldy earring at some point as well, but let's focus on getting you that first.
Which one is a bigger priority for you? I would suspect the earring...
Finally, FWIW: you and I (gol if he is free) can easily duo/trio the Antican and even manage to get claim on it. There aren't many campers and the mob itself is fairly easy (may want to bring a few echo drops though).
The Moldy earring is a bitch. Been there 4 times and each time have seen 3-4 campers. I have no voke, didn't /bst, /blm and dia sucks for claiming in a modest spawn area - we may need help?
BAH LAZY
BRD ONRY SOLOZ NM'S OMGZ!!!!
naw after you merit some shit and def after you get a kirin's osode you can solo some nm's...
If not HNM's maybe you'll finally be able to solo him!
ROTFLMAO!
Heh...
EDIT: I meant 0/4 and 0/3 on drops... not that he killed me that many times... :-p
Actually, as a BRD you can solo some fairly "difficult" NMs (assuming Lullaby isn’t resisted).
I am debating whether or not to merit certain stats only because how limited one is in what one can merit.
Bah @ Osode. I have no interesting in sucking-off an HNMLS leader for 16 months only to lot on an item that "is the property of the LS."
Gotta love people and their self-imposed property rights...
On a side note, and this may just be me, is anyone else afraid of these HNMLS kids becoming adults and having decision-making power?
Side note, check out the prices on Ulli’s drop… {All right!} gil sellers!
????
Nazi's? HNMLS? Sucking off? sounds like a good time. Naw i tells ya what... i'd be willing to go get that damn jacket for ya after i hit 75. just find like at least 16 more ppl... probly more >< and ya well go get that damn thing. I mean i'm a BLM i Can't wear it. so you don't have to worry about me playing asshat.
Ha!
just find like at least 16 more ppl... probably more ><
Damn right bitches. In the 4-5 times I have been involved with Kirin, we've had at least 35-40 folks show. This was with one of the "better" HNMLS (I am still uncertain how an HNMLS's "betterness" is determined, but that is a topic of another day (perhaps by the amount of aggregate life expectancy that a LS can waste on camping some bullshit NM determines greatness - adults call that "a waste of fucking time...")
Any way, when we fought this focker; we set a server "record" (again, not certain how this crap is determined) and beat his ass in 47 minsish
Even with a fully merited BRD using Minuetx2 (ignoring WS modifier damage of course, that would be too complicated...zomomzomz!!) melee were hitting Kirin for 13-15 an attack. Fully merited BLMs with HQ staves were hitting Kirin for 40-50 per spell.
This guy is a bitch, but is doable with practice. What I personally hate about the whole situation is the amount of insane farming that is required in sky... for those of you familiar you know the drop rate can be super shitty (like the "water" drop.)
Not to mention that to fight Kirin, you get to "pre-game" by fighting all 4 lesser Gods... really a lot of fun, all for the shot at one desired drop... gayness.
I'd rather craft with my time :-p
Also, as with most other servers, gil sellers are now camping Ulli. and controlling the Kirin spawn...
Erm
Have you not been paying attention to politics the last 6 years?

Difference
Well, I guess there is something to be said about the difference between stupid people running the world vs. Nazis (which is what I think these kids are)...
Pick your poison I guess.
Wait... Bush played FFXI?
Nazis
Wait... so Nazis don't control the world?
Let's see.... Muslums... apparently they need to be eradicated. No, but that's not the same thing as genocide because they're all terrorists... I gotcha.
World domination... well, oil domination which is the next best thing.
Patriot Act, DMCA, hmmm... no oppressive laws there.
Yeah, I see no similarities between the current powers that be and Nazis either. We're in the clear.

way to go off topic but...
Firstly let me say this... My views here in are to spark intelligent debate, not argument. As a self proclaimed philosopher i seek prospective not a stronghold. So often you'll see me play devils advicate... this doesn't reflect my true beliefs. Because the sensitivity of some of this i post, i ask that you all take this with a grain of salt first. I'm not racist, i'm not un-religious either, with that said...
Muslums: This is deffining a vast and differing ppl into a collective, very akin to Native American, Asian, or European... we all understand the very differences in each of these groups. So we must recognise the dangers in refering to regions enmass. We must understand that this is a long standing hatred for the religions of Christ. (circa Crusades) However what america does now only prepetuates the cycle... The whole view on both sides is childish and un-intelligent. Its the same He said she said bullshit you deal with in grade school.
Nazi's: (not a personal attack on maior) This is the layman's interpration of Evil... and all that is wrong. I think this couldn't be further from the truth... they were called the third riech for a reason. The reason is they weren't the first. They were third in a line of conquers. However we'd never do anything so bold as say that the mere deffinition of Conquer is "Whole Race Genocide". Lets look at a few other conquers and would be conquers.
Romans -> Barbarians (primarly everyone else but those who spoke latin)
United States -> Native Americans (Trail of tears... nuff said)
England -> France
England -> India
Russia -> Ukrain
Russia -> Poland
Iraq -> Iran
Aztecs -> Mayan
Japan -> China
France -> Vietnam
etc... you get the point. We could argue that any of these countries are or were evil. So we truly can't define evil into one word like Nazi. I mean i see more simularities between the us v. muslims as England v. Afganastan (1800's) The Author of the Jungle book had this quote while serving in the forigen legion during that time period; "To die on an Afgan plain, while the women come out to cut up what remains. Roll over on your gun and blow out your brains, and go to your god as a soldier." So i really think we hould draw more accurate comparisions than the usage of lay tems like Nazi.
The philosophy her to dwell on. What is evil?
I ask you can you give an accurate and uncolored deffintion for evil?
The example i often use to allow ppl to grasp this idea more clearly is the following.
In star wars we are led to believe that the "Rebels" are good, and all things "Empire" are evil. The rebels techincal destroy government property, kill government emplyees. Aka Joe Blow Storm trooper family of four he's supporting, i mean look at the way the shoot and tell me they aren't civilians. The spin is from the rebels perspective. so what the EMPIRE is doing is EVIL! But The empire might not be evil. The government was in disarray, and senator palapaten took control, fixing this. like any official he proposed legislation or laws to prevent the messe of his predicessor. Now to a law abiding citzen these rebels destroy government buildings, slow functions of the govenments response like medical and utilities. So who realy is evil? The Government we seeks to preserve itself or the Person who seeks to Preserve there own beliefs? If you can give an answer to that, then you've missed the point. lata kids.
i guess
i just get pissed when ppl refer to generic things with "namebrands" its so irritating.
Like "Adhesive Bandage" -> Band-Aid
"Evil" -> Nazi
"Cola" -> Coke or Pepsi
etc..
I mean to understand how iritating it is, think if some one stoped refering to a home pC as that but instead called them all Dell's.. When clearly there are other brands out there but because its the most common of popular its automaticaly what they must be. GAWD!
Sarcasm
Like most things I write and say, I generally am full of sarcasm. And my post above was really no different.
However, if you go back and re-read my post, you'll see my points and comparisons were actually very valid.
In my mind there's more than enough similarities that one can correctly lump them all together under the sarcastic (albeit pointed) term of "Nazis".
As far as the other comparisons and references you made, they were all atrocities as well... it really just proves my point even more that what the current administration is doing is more of the same.

sounds like a plan!
ya the antica was really a suggestion for everyone else... and most deffinatly the earring is #1 priority for my the cloak is just frosting on the cake.
On the issue of voke... i have some really good friends in game...
Rypervenche -> 75 BST
Creepingdeath-> 75 NIN
Shinjin -> 75 PLD
DarkPheonix -> 50+ BST
i'm sure any of them might be willing to help out...
Specifics
Please give specific NM info and links. E.g., how does it spawn? Is it lottery? Is it popped?
Bear in mind that poppable ones are always easier to get (heh, of course) and are preferable.
Also, I have some notes on a few of these you mention:
