A couple questions from a wiki-less soul pain in the butt.

Korroloka Tunnel (sp)
So I decided to try and go to the tunnel and use Iron Ores to spawn the little worm guy that gives out 3 ores. does anyone know if his spawn points are all in the same general area? I ran around trying to find it, once I finally did, it was back at the start. I remembered 15 minute pop time, so I searched the entire zone for another only to find it back in the same general area as the first. (not exact location, but close) Then, after logging out, I figured I would head there once before work to see if it would be in the same spot and sure enough it was in the same area, but different than the other 2 spawn points I had found. (Spawn points were about 2 or 3 seconds apart from each other) Anyone know how common decent ores drop? I got darksteel the first time, but the other two times were garbage copper and tin. Also, I beat up some Thoon gigas, didn't get a drop, does he drop anything good? and lastly, who drops the +1 int item that goes into the range equipment box? forgive me, the name evades me atm, morion thalium maybe?

The +1 Int item that goes in the Ammo slot is a Morion Tathlum. It's dropped by the same little worm guy, Morion Worm, that you're hunting for the ores.
Wiki says the drop rate for the tathlum is about 5%, but that sounds low to me -- I went 1/4 on my main character and 1/2 on a mule.

His spawn points aren't in the same general area. They're spread across the tunnel.
From wiki: (I-10) and (J-8) on the first map; (F-9) on the second map; (I-8) on the northern map.

The tathlum goes for as low as 9K on my server, so if you don't get it after a few tries, maybe just buy it. Hope that helps!

I think the 5% might be a bit high for my luck lol. I have boughten one a while ago, just hoping to find a drop to recoup the gil I had used to buy it way back when. I had about a dozen iron ores that I went in there for, searching mostly for darksteel since my crafting is coming up to the darksteel ingot phase, which seems like it's gonna be pricey. Out of the 12 fights, I ended up with 4 of them, a bunch of copper and tin that I tossed, and 0 morion thalium. What is the point of them stacking? I assume a stack of 12 wouldn't do something crazy like give +12 inteligence (wouldn't that be sweet if it did) so I am just wondering why they would stack? I wound think there must be a recipe that would use them in numbers? oh and btw carbuncles ruby sucks to farm.

It seems like every other bazaar I have checked lately has Shrimp Lanterns for sale? What is with the sudden overabundance on these and what exactly are they used for?

They're used to pop the NM Shen in Purgonorgo Isle, which drops the WHM-only Reverend Mail.
