  • Vampiric Claws ?

    do these really exist? i've seen them referenced on alla and listed on mystery tour as lvl 39 added effect: hep drain, however i've not even seen an entry for them at any of the auction houses? is it possible that they are rare and cannot be sold or traded, or maybe no one's ever put them on sale? can someone shed some light on this for me?

      I believe you're talking about these.

      They drop from a NM in Phomiuna Aqueducts. I've actually killed it once while my LS was there subligar hunting, and it was kinda tough if I remember right.

      Well, in the first place, you have to be on CoP Mission 2-3 to have access to the Aqueducts, plus it's a lottery pop from Fomor Black Mage, so you'll have to kill a bit, and also, the NM is followed and assisted by another monster, so you'll end up fighting two mobs.

      We beat the NM and his partner with 7 peole if I remember correctly, but it did get kinda close. However, we did go 1/1 on the claws, if that means anything. Depending on the type of friends you have, it might be tough to get a bunch of people down there to kill it...try setting up a subligar run so you guys will have something to do in between spawns maybe?

        My friend got a pair of these the other day after my LS did some swiftbelt runs.

        http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Vampiric_Claws

        Drops off a NM in Phomiuna Aqueducts named Tres Duendes. It's a bat triplet character which also spawns with Duendes' Amoroso and Fomor NM.

        It's a level 40 cap area accessable after some CoP missions. Wiki has some party setup strategys if you'd like to read up on it and have access to that area. I found that the BST was the most useful char in our party setup, not only widescan to get there, but added an extra DD to the party.

        They are Rare/Ex so that is why you've never seen them on the AH.

          i use to run subligar runs for my server and the nm is very easy over all in 14 kills we got: 5 Katanas 4 daggers 10 claws.

          just get about 6 ppl to go down make sure u kill the bats' pet the fomor and even if you wipe u can get up and just kill the bat ^.^ gl happy hunting

            We found Tres Duendes when we went for PM 2-3. Was a really close fight. I forget how many people we had, but he was more difficult than the Minotaur. Claws and Katana dropped.

            I've always found Tres Duendes funny. A bat triplet that has a tarutaru fomor as a pet.

                well level does not come into play, because the area is caped at lvl 40 all characters lvl 41 and above are reduced to level 40. 6+ for the nm

                Whm, Rdm or Blm, Nin, 3dd

                personally when we faught him with 6 had whm, blm, ninx2, war and rng

                what you will want to do is pull tres pet fomor we have never goten a solo pull off this (could very well have been our puller). You want your blm to ES silence the pet blm. At that point kill the pet asap as one nin or a dd holds off the bat. Once the blm pet is down focus on Tres. The reason you focus on the pet is if you wipe he wont resummon by the time you all rr and pull again making the fight very easy.

                  oh i forgot the best way to get all these items is to lead subligar farming runs have everyone set comments and set yours to the claws. I got my groups katanas, daggers, tunics, masks, and a couple hundred subligars. personally i have all the nm drops but the claws and im missing only rdm, sam, and thf subligars (^.^)b gl if you need ne more info pm me i check the site m-f usually

                    i have a pair very usefull for a certian floor of limbus, i never got to try them around 40 so i dont know how they compare to the usual blunt weapons for pts but the dmg dosent compare to destroyers at 75.

                      the claws arnt blunt damage btw they classify peircing so they are very handy to tell you the truth it gives you a whole new set of mobs to get a damage bonus against =P
