Re: Update Details - 3/28/07

I'm still wondering when Goblin Gamblers will finally be corsair mobs. Goblin Bounty Hunters, though, wonder what job they'll be. Nice to see them livening up the old zones with new mobs, though.

Did Yagudo SAMs and NINs roam around their respective zones prior to RoZ? It is funny how it does seem to be posed as an RMT countermeasure to kill level 1 fishbots, maybe SE is also trying to shoehorn players to EXP somwhere else

Then the bot would have to be leveled and/or purchase the charge equipment (if available) to use Spikes. Still, would be helpful if the mob was of appropriate level range for the area.

In any case, these bots, being the level they tend to be (Lv. 1) go down in one hit.

Re: Update Details - 3/28/07

mobs of a certain job were not added until after ROTZ iirc. I beleive yagudos were primarily mages, although I wasn't around then.

Re: Update Details - 3/28/07

True, but that high level watching the fishbots is one less high level somewhere else.

Not really. A good RMT operation isn't going to have one person per character. This really isn't going to do much to good RMT fishing setups, but probably will make leveling in the Dunes for levels 15-19 a pain.

We'll have to see how the dunes work out. Regardless, its another step in the right direction by SE.

aww man more agro...if the Dunes weren't bad enough...or then again they could be a blessing since when there are 2-3 parties on the beach it gets hard to grab things...

Re: Update Details - 3/28/07

The Goblin Bounty Hunters idea is hilarious. I hope they have a lot of spawns, or high respawn rate. If they're just like any other mob in the Dunes, they'll be of little effect on the fishbots.

Has anyone found out whether or not these chocobo racing items are crafted, or simply bought with chocobucks?

My hope is that these GBHs are low level enough to not bother XP parties, yet high level enough to kill level 1 fish bots with ease.

I dunno, if they're of a high enough level, parties can exp off them, otherwise, they just link and become a nuisance.

Maybe they can be RNGs and use EES on anyone that has a certain number of levels under it.

Re: Update Details - 3/28/07

Goblin Bounty Hunters have

If Target is less than or equal to level 10, attack with weapon + 10000
else wander;

Re: Update Details - 3/28/07

People refer to RMT with these bounty hunter goblins. But in all fairness i rarely see them in places like the Dunes an batt downs. If this was targeted for RMT activities. Then id imagine you would stick them in SSG, LoO, KoKo tunnel. Thats still where i see alot of them..

Re: Update Details - 3/28/07

What would be really interesting if SE made the Bounty Hunters invisible like S. Weapon and have high Accuracy, but lower HP to even it out with his level. The result: No high-level patrols running around killing him, he has to aggro first, and even high level fishbots are at risk if he can aggro all levels because even a 75 can(and will) go down after a long enough time.

Re: Update Details - 3/28/07

Just ran around to check out the Goblin Bounty Hunters. Every spot you could think to fish in these zones is patrolled by these goblins. Even the little ponds. They have pretty high defense for thier level and Double attack about 50% of the time.

Respawn is five minutes. They move fast, too, and its almost like they have a guard rotation similar to that of the mirror NMs in ToA. They hardly stop for more than two seconds.

Batilla Downs on Titan used to be loaded with RMT fishbots, its now entirely clear of them.

Which means they moved to other areas. Places like i mentioned, An those i left out.

hahaha I'm loving this idea, SE has been coming thru with alot of radical ideas since TAU
