Mobs weak to which magic?

[Mezlo]

Certain types of mobs are weak against certain types of magic right? Does anyone have a list they could post here? A link won't work because of my wonderful firewall. Thanks in advance! ~Mezlo

The list is too long to post, but a good rule of thumb is to see which crystal the mob drops and whichever comes before it in the elemental wheel is generally what the mob is weak to.

Weakness.zip

I think this was made before the Aht Urhgan expansion. It should get you head start on getting used to what is weak to what. In addition to that, most of the time FFXIclopedia will list the elemental weakness of a mob on that mob's webpage.

Soly, that page is being blocked by my firewall. Could you cut and paste? I really appreciate your help!

Re: Mobs weak to which magic?

It's not a page, it's a file you have to download. I had to use Winzip to compress it because the forum does not allow us to attach files larger than 20kb. If you PM me your e-mail address I can try e-mailing it to you.

What about elementals? Is it:

use fire against ice elemental
use ice against water ele
use water against wind ele
use wind against earth ele
use earth against fire ele

Re: Mobs weak to which magic?

Fire > ice > wind > earth > thunder > water > fire where ">" means "is strong against."

Re: Mobs weak to which magic?

An easy way to remember would be to try to picture what one element does to another.

Fire melts Ice
Ice blocks Wind
Wind blows the Earth
Earth absorbs Thunder
Thunder shocks Water
Water extinguishes Fire

Are you being blocked by a firewall because you're at work? If so, maybe you should just wait until you get home.

Was that comment even necessary?

Re: Mobs weak to which magic?

General rule of thumb, nowhere near all-inclusive but it works more often than it doesn't:

If you're XPing on it, it's probably weak to Ice. If it isn't weak to Ice, it's probably weak to Thunder.

Except Gigas ( I think) - who are resistant to both Ice and Thunder.....

And most things are weak against Fire - especially bombs (which makes NO sense)

Probably not. Is anything on the Internet "necessary"?

But there does tend to be a lot of "Hey I can't view wiki at work can someone post this info that I want" type of questions. I'm just trying to curb them.

I think the community is nice enough to answer questions and help out but when we're just doing tasks for you because you cant wait to get home, it gets a little old.

It makes perfect sense. Its essentially a ball filled with explosive material.
