Pixies

[hongman]

So in WoTG areas you will find these Pixies/Sprites flittering around. Had friends tell me how he was at 700hp (75BLM) and a Pixie cured him to full, while it R3'ed his friend.

After a Raise 3 he suffered no weakness

Anyways, went to do some comical testing:-

I have never engaged with a Pixie or Sprite, so the rumours of shared hate do not apply.

Pulled Gho'Bho Herohunter, which quickly killed me haha. Found a Spirte nearby, and had a friend cast on Sprite, Bind it next to me and log out. After he had logout, Spirte ignored me completely and flittered off.

Tried that a few times, then my friend tractored me around for 15 mins landing me several times directly in front of the Sprite. Did nothing. After giving up, R1, I ran by a Sprite and it didnt heal me.

Anyone know if there are special circumstances in which they will help you, or is it completely random?

Re: Pixies

I've always had a Pixie heal me when I was low HP. For example:
When I first got the expansion, I decided to fight a Pixie in Sarutabaruta on my BRD. It was a very long fight because I only had a staff with me... luckily, another Pixie was in the general area and would Cure IV me quite often (which was needed).
When I was getting one of the maws, I got agro. I had taken a couple hits and (I was on PUP at the time) sent my puppet after it so I could run away. I was at about 5%. I found a pixie and headed toward it, and it Cure IV'd me.


It seems they're cure you if you are at 75% or less. Raise I don't know about, and I don't really want to test that one...

I believe the current theory is that you have to be targeting something with more HP% (including the pixie you want to cure you itself) then you currently have. That method seemed to work for me every time so far.

Re: Pixies

For me, I fought some EP Mob, had about 300/1200 HP and attacked a Pixie. I had Stoneskin & Phalanx & Blink up with plenty of MP. I cast Dia I think, and it then proceeded to bomb me with Cure IV and Cure III to cap out my HP and then tried to beat me into oblivion. I thought, "Sweet! A PL!" So I ran off to fight something else. Well it continued to buff itself like crazy (Pro/Shell III, Haste, etc), but continued to attack me. So after I beat the other mob, I killed it. It didn't cast another Healing spell on me the entire time.

However, a LS mate was trying to get the Jugner Forest [S] Maw, when she got smacked into the ground by a Gnole. She asked for a Raise, somebody was on the way to Raiser her when, "Nvm. Somebody named Sprite just cast R3 on me. Did you guys ask them to do that?"

Re: Pixies

400/1200 hp with sneak and invis up. ran across a bridge with sprite going other way on it and it casted cure V on me. sneak and invis were not affected. also wasnt targeting anything.

Re: Pixies

Yellow health, and they'll cure me every time. There's a delay between cures, and they'll cure the person closest first.

Re: Pixies

wow, so it really did hate me then? lol >.>

[DakAttack]

Re: Pixies

I suppose. I'm not sure which comes first, a cure or a raise, but there's definately a weakness with the raise.

[Taskmage]

Re: Pixies

Hmm. The one experience I had with a pixie was converting during a campaign battle and getting an instant Cure V. That seems to follow with the "must be targeting something" idea. Dunno about raises though.

Re: Pixies

Well, friend of my friend reported no weakness. Idk.

Re: Pixies

The pixies seem to cure me whether or not I'm targeting something.

For fun and laughs I went out as drg/thf and fought some of the Yagudo in Saratu by Giddeus when I got a nasty link followed shortly by a nasty AoE spells. I used Flee back towards the Allied fort/tower thingy where I had seen 3 pixies floating around, got in the middle of all three and proceeded to fall out of my chair laughing as like, 3-4 Yagudo tried to kill me while I had 3 Pixie powerlevelers Cure VI (or was it IV?) bombing me.

Re: Pixies

I've had to follow them around w/ yellow/red health for a minute before they cured me, but when they finally do notice me they drop a Cure V. Nice for Convert :D. I'm not sure if the hate thing is true, I've only killed one ever, and never will again, more because they're a giant PITA to fight than anything. :/
