  • Pankration Help: Unable to capture monster?

    Well, today after wandering around Aht Urgan killing time, I zoned into The Pit. Before today, I never payed much interest to Pankration, but after watching a few random matched I became interested. I started running around collecting soul plates, and ended up with two particular ones: "Main Job Monk" and "Monk Job Traits"

    After this, I looked around FFXI Wiki for what monster my actual combatant should be. I scrolled down the list of monster families that could have main job set as Monk, and found... Tauri. "Now thats the monster I want to have fighting for me" I thought. I remembered when I did Sancrium for CoP missions, and remembered that Stegotaurs where in abundance right at the zone there, so took off to get me a Tarus.

    Now herein lies the problem: I cannot seem to capture a Tarus soul plate! If Wiki is correct, Tarus can not only be captured on a plate, but also can be combatants, so I should have no problem getting one. However, I have already gone through 8 Soul Plates and still don't have a Tarus image.

    Now my question: Can only certain monsters in a family be captured? Or am I just having bad luck? does the lv 50 cap have anything to do with it? Has anyone captures a Tarus themselves? Help me out here!

    Taurs can indeed be used. My guess is that it's just very difficult to capture them. Standing in front of a mob tends to heighten the chance, thus making Taurs much harder to capture on soul plates.

      For whatever it's worth, I've captured about 14 images by now. Only failed once, and I was pretty far away from the mob (no particular reason, just pure lazyness.) Every other time I've been right next to the mob and I've had no problems.

      Also, I doubt there's any uncapturable mobs since I saw this little gem in a Rolanberry Bazaar

        Hi, Onionsoldier aka Neomage ... congrats on the Taurus soul plate, sorry you died to get it. Maybe it turning on you had something to do with it?
