Behemoth Event

Where is the starting moogle?

So is there any point in doing this event? Tried to do it but no progress got made, from what I could ascertain, success will only happen if:

1) You have a low amount of people co-ordinating skillchains.
2) You have a *** load of people and just spam WS to reach the 200 limit.


whereas the most common situation is:

3) Somwhere in the middle of 1 and 2 who spam WS and reach no objective and the Behemoth doesn't die.

In the starting cities- Bastok's is in Markets near the AH.

Solo it. I tried in Ronfaure, got 0 progress. Said *** it, went to Bastok and completed it alone within 1,5 Behemoth.

I worked out a while ago it could be soloed but right now there are people doing the event in all 3 areas :/

Bastok/Windurst were completely empty yesterday, a few hours from now. That's the safest bet which isn't the best for EUs.

Thank God that's over, tbh it probably wasn't worse than the moogle vs goblins event.

Has anyone gotten heroic, killed it and not gotten any reward? My wife's on her 3rd round now with no rewards at all.

Sounds bizarre, the first kill should grant you the vanaclock after you talk to the moogle, once you reach heroic you should get the cipher off the moogle without needing to kill the behemoth.

That's how it happened with both of my chars. But on both of hers she isn't getting them. We think it may have something to do with his spamming thunderbolt and dispelling her moogle magic?

It died shortly after I got my heroic reward and moogle didn't give me anything else. Pretty sure Kupofried is the final reward.

She never got the clock NOR the cipher. That's the problem. I think when she got hit by thunderbolt it borked her event status and they killed it when her status was off I guess. It was at 1% so it was hard to tell.

K, confirmed. That's what it was. When the behemoth begins charging thunderbolt, run farther than 20' If you are within 20 then you'll get hit and it'll bork your moogle magic and you'll have to go get it back. Early on that doesn't much matter but later it can *** you out of a kill. So be cautious. Once she killed it while retaining status, she got both items.

are there any rewards past cipher & clock?

The moogle specifically says when you get the cipher that they have no more rewards to offer you but your aid is welcome. I haven't personally tested it but I have absolutely NO will to do so. This event is horrible.

Hmm, so then where do you get the Meteor suit?

After checking, and from others as well, the answer is no. Get the trust and clock, and no need to go back unless you want to work on a Trial weapon. The 119 Behemoth suit is almost certainly from Escha - Zi'Tah.

Just a little question: why are people spanning Spirit Taker? It has no skillchain properties at all.

Tossed the clock and behe +1 equipment on a mule before realizing the clock might have been worth something; anyone able to reobtain either of them?

On Asura, everyone grouped up in West Sarutabaruta doing the 200 ws objective. Skillchains? Ain't nobody got time fo' dat.

Got my clock and trust in a half hour

Im so confused at the 200 weapon skill thing. it says I had like.. 60 out of 200. then itll say 0.. then itll say 67. i totally did more than that

I didn't continue enough to be able to tell why it does that but I can say anytime it says that, your points have not been reset and it's just wrong. I've never seen it say an actual number and be wrong though. So feel free to just completely ignore those 0's.

Edit: Oh also I should mention that I'm fairly sure you are talking about the First part where you do it alone and the NPC's are WS you. In that case it's only 100 points, not 200 ws or even 100 ws.

The second part where you are fighting the behemoth is where it will ask you to do X number of ws's. This number is based on the total number of players with the moogle magic up. For each player it's 10 ws. So if you have 5 players with moogle magic up, you'll need 50 ws. If you have 20, you'll need 200 but if you go beyond that you still cap at 200.

It doesn't count *your* WS, it counts the group total, and it resets every minute.

I edited my post but I'm thinking he's talking about the first section not the second one. I never experienced the 0's on the second one.

Hoping I'm not the only one, but how does one even qualify to beat on the Behemoth? I got the costume, got told to get 20+ on the basic training and got 37, and got told to get 20 on the challenge and built it up to that by brute forcing it, but the NPC outside doesn't think I'm qualified enough to wail on a Behe with the rest of them.

What am I doing wrong?

You have to get 200 WS's in before the one minute timer hits 0.
Which is why most servers all gang up on a behe in one zone.

Least that's how Asura is doing it.

Yes. 20 points in 1 try, or 100 cumulative points.

I just had one of those so stupid it's smart moments, and thought "What if you take a WS latent weapon into this event?"

Anyone wanna science it for the rest of us?
