LOL! It was a learning experience for me, so it was okay.
Note to self: Never go with BLU's that want to learn spells. ;)

Runs appear to be capped at 120, so I'm not sure how that will effect the key items that extend your stay and allow you to carry more. Even without leaving the zone to get more stones, that would already allow you to go for 132 minutes.

I've got exp reduction key item, just dropped from a regular mob (or maybe an ephemeral limule, but w/e).
Unicorn.Moldtech said:
I can't confirm the bonus being 3 minutes I just read 3 minutes in forums but I can confirm the 4th stone key item thing is mob drop, saw a screenshot of that one either here or BG. Lsmate has 1 of the xp reduction key items himself.
Also, it has been repeatedly confirmed that it is 3 minutes extra per stone with the key item.
This feller here got it to drop from a normal mob.
Isn't emphemeral not a normal mob? I mean look at the xp and cruor that "normal" mob gave
normal mob = not impossible to gage :P plus they easy
Well the word normal is a stretch, but they are not NMs they are just special/rare spawns at each camp not much tougher if tougher at all then creatures in the area.

Nothing so far has shown that ephemeral mobs have a better chance of dropping the key items. I'd still classify it as a normal mob in this situation.

The mystery here is that sentence just after the part you bolded. Does that mean it an be extended past the 120 minute limit? Peoples experiences so far suggest no, while the key items you can get suggest yes.
Went in to La Theine last night with 4 (RDM/DNC/SAM/THF)
Mostly did some farming, but we ended up popping Baba Yaga before our time expired.
Really easy fight, took us less than 5 mins to kill. Sadly, no drops, but we did get 250 Cruor and about 1250exp.
The pop items drop fairly well. I think we killed about 15-20 of the Farfadet's and got 4 pop items. I actually thought the Farfadets were tougher than the NM...odd.

+3 minutes per stone with key item seems pretty damn useless...ok i'm now officially spending my points on armors i want instead or armor for gil lol

Has there been reports of other stuff dropping it?

Krizz (quote is broken), we were roaming when I got the exp key item, mainly just killing Ephemeral mobs and anything Arty thought was cute, however, I think it dropped around the time we agro'd something, and then linked another of the same mob... I just can't remember what it was. I do remember where it was though, it was in Konschtat along the far west wall, south of the flans. It was either the clionids/limules (whichever one is there) or the next family south of that.

Do you recall what glow you had?
Did a 90 minute LS run today, focusing on NMs and pop item/NMs.
We started with Chukwa. Only a few notes;
He didn't link with any of the miniturtles around him.
He went into his shell to cast, and never cast outside of it.
Was up again within 30~minutes of death.
First one dropped bow/2x egg/emerald, second one dropped only 2x egg.
We also popped the mandy and coeurl, and found the gnat up too. All dropped their respective items. Nothing special to add about any of them.

I haven't read all of the thread but if someone has fought the Minhacao and has a strategy/setup that could be followed and is fairly safe I'd greatly appreciate it.
A full alliance plus some outside, so I couldn't tell you everything. 2 PLDs, THF, 3 RNGs, 5 BLMs and all the usual support would be a good guess at the main alliance. GHorns and anni/yoichis included. Took between 5-7 minutes for each kill.
It only used one TP move: its version of turtle stomp. Unlike other adamantoises, this was a conal AoE and seems more than capable of oneshotting most mages that it hits head-on.
Waterga V, with 2-3 people in range, was almost all absorbed by a 350 stoneskin on PLDs, though this was with aegis so it's assuredly stronger than it looked.
lalala can't think of anything else.

BG said:
The Sandworm NM seems to replace Doomvoid with a combo of Gorge/Disgorge. Gorge steals HP and Disgorge from observation seems to take the numerical amount that Gorge took and spreads it to targets.
Not too sure if that is precisely what Disgorge does but for sure Gorge steals HP.
800EXP/202cruor for the kill and had 12 people.

otherwise it seems comparable to any other sandworm
(I've never fought a sandworm. Haven't sent my crew after Minhocao yet.)

Oh, we got a few chests dropped from mobs. Two blue ones that gave 200 cruor and 600 exp. There was also one that dropped from Chukwa that I didn't get a good look at. The coeurl NM dropped a chest that looked exactly like one of the mimic chests you see everywhere. I opened it and there were two augmented wivre gorgets in there, both with crappy stats.
Also didn't get anything except 42/40 from a mimic we went for.

Anyone know if there are any player level or skill level requirements to fish in la Theine?
I have fishing skilled a bit on a lower level character (level 30 mule) and was hoping to burn her traverser stones on some cruor grinding by quest or fishing if possible...

Anyone have any testimonials on killing the thew bomblet nm? I've read that it can be easily taken down by a party of 6 or less, but haven't seen anything too specific.

Kite-nuke is apparently the best strategy for that particular NM.

You have to be level 30 to enter Abyssea but I was fishing up rusty items and my fishing is only lvl 2.
