Probably take about an hour or so to kill too.

Oh no.... SE has made a bunch of NMs that are immune to RDM but powerless to SMN! LOL @ all you RDMS now XD

Anyone can be a RDM.

You have to have big balls to be a SMN.

That's what I was thinking at first, (sans the smn part) but rdm can still solo a lot of the NMs, just takes a little more patience and skill.

RDM is still a great job, its just that its not the "end all soloist" anymore.

I think someones tooting their SMN horn. lol

I remember when I first put Flockbock on this guide, I read it as "cockblock" and sniggered. :3

That's what I thought about this NM.
Granted I said a couple, but its easy enough for a smn solo strategy.

Have enough perp - gear, you can solo most anything as long as you can keep links and aggro at bay.

And your avatar doesn't die quickly lol.

Or BST!

Ahaha... I could, but I'll have to ask Scragg, maybe. This works well enough, don't know if we should "waste" any more space on this. I would have to make a TON of new threads, and some NMs don't even have much information on them just yet. :( Sorry!

Wiki is still good enough for me, at least. This is just a fun little project for me^^ I haven't taken anything from Wiki 'cause it feels like I'm cheating :P

Only certain NMs require guides though.

You aren't going to need a guide to kill Bubbly Bernie.

Aye, there's a place for everything, and this isn't it.

Anyway, let's see how smn goes about soloing Chelicerata. Chigoe NM mixed in withe marlboro and tigers at K-9 in Waj. Has the usual stupidly fast attack speed of a chigoe, but hit me for about 150 with cocoon, 200 without. Actually, smn would probably own that too provided your avatar attacks it before it kills you with one triple attack round <_<

Additional effect of slow, but that's kinda meh.

NIN/RDM and RDM/NIN duo. Pull it and kite it around the rock thats just near it. When it stops and is about to deagro, recast on it and continue kiting. RDM used Bliz 3 and Bio till was out of MP then NIN took over with NI: Nukes while RDM rested. NI: Nukes actually did pretty decent damage, with a mild INT build and staves. About 150-180 unresisted (which with the lolgear I was wearing was about 70% of the time.) Took a an hour or so once we really got going, but was really fun.

Its a pretty wild NM. I tried to just straight tank it but its ACC is insane, even on NIN/DNC with full evasion it wasnt missing all that much. Then when it hits it has 120dmg/tic poison that just rapes you in a few seconds.

Cel O_O I think you're in the wrong zone!! My guide says West Altepa Desert, not East....?

I wanna add a NM! Amarita in East Ronf... It kicked my level 6 bst's *** last night.

Okies, updated :)

Its definitly East Altepa ^^

XD okay then :)

As long as the SMN can pull it out of the way of aggro, then yeah, it should be easy to solo.

Totally different. I solo'd that chigre the way blus are supposed to solo stuff, straight up and all out. This one. ***.

The first time I tried I disseveremented it, ran away, waited for it to deaggro, re-applied buffs, waited for poison to wear then quickly re-agrod and repeated. Got it down to about 50% in pretty short time, but then I just couldn't get away and it wouldn't deagro, it was right on my *** so I tried a head butt, which missed, and I died <_<.

Round 2, blu/rdm, protect II, phalanx, Genbu's Shield and cocoon (DEF 454) got the damage down to just over 100 per hit, but that's still way too much. Only managed to deagro it once, it was almost back to it's pop when it lost poison, so I started again and kited it all the way to the Olduum warp (had 111HP left at this stage), made up a bit of ground by jumping off the small ledge and around the olduum platform, jumped on a choco, and the little *** was STILL after me! Almost got me too lol, I kited it on chocobo halfway back down the colibri tunnel before it finally stopped chasing me.

Moves at exactly +12% I'd say, kept right on my *** the whole way, kinda surprised it didn't hit me tbh, only made up a tiny bit of ground on the sharp corners. I'm giving up, try it on smn lol.

Edit@ Korpg: My concern would be that it would chew through your avatars too fast. I'm not sure you could get 50' away before it killed them, and it would probably be on you before you finished casting. Genuinely interested to see if smn can solo though. Blu CAN solo it, I'm sure of that, but takes luck for it to deagro fast enough I think.

This made me lol=D Running away from a NM by hopping on choco! Pure win.

Adding another discovery i made.

This information is on wiki (i wrote most of the article) Toxic Tamlyn pops at (G-8) in Pashhow Marshlands every hour and exclusively only during Rainy weather.

She casts Bio II fairly frequently (Every 30 seconds or so) so i think she is a Dark Knight maybe.

Went 1/3 on Mahogany Heartwood (Used to make Tracker's Bow/+1).

could of tried Regurgitation? might of been able to diss. regurg and then run away while its bound?

I'm just assuming that all of these new NMs are immune to bind, so many reports of it, and every one I've killed personally has been (if I've tried it). But anyway, In order to get regurgitation off I'd have to start casting it the moment it agro'd. Even casting Disseverement the moment it agro'd with full buffs, I'd be half dead before I got away lol.

i wish i had all this -perp gear. i'd be tempted to try some of these harder nms.
i was with 2 smns yesterday at the chigoe nm that drops shiva's shoes and that nm was pretty stupid. though, i was on thf, and got firaga3'd with 2 normal chiggers hitting me. was not fun;; took almost 1k lol.
no drop when they killed it. it seemed pretty easy, but since it pops next to two chigoes it is hard to pull it alone. i'm too scurred to try. plus a smn said he was 0/25.

Updated :)

By the way, if I get bored enough, I might start browsing the New Items Added page to check out the comments in order to gather more information, like on the Nous Arbalest page.
