@Draxxus82 What attestation item are you hoping to obtain off of Goublefaupe?

[Draxxus82]

Attestation of invulnerability

[EpicTaru]

Unfortunately, none of the mobs that would normally drop that pop items (the misc. ...fortune parchment items) are currently coded to actually drop these items. The fortune parchment items are then used to force-spawn the different fomor NMs that may then the attestations that you/other players are seeking.

Until the above issue is resolved, please follow these requirements:

Since you are seeking to kill Goublefaupe (Mob ID 17326086) in hopes of a drop of the Attestation of Invulnerability, you need to kill 12 9 of the Hydra NMs that would normally drop the fortune parchment item. In your case, these are Hydra Paladin, Hydra Warrior, and Hydra Red Mage. It can be 12 of one of the three NMs or a mix, just a total of 12 kills of them. These mobs are scattered all around the zone. The attestations are 33% drops from the respective relevant fomor NMs, if the attestation you are after doesn't drop the first time you kill the fomor, it will be spawned again an additional two more times. If the desired attestation still doesn't drop in any of the 3 spawns, you must kill the required number of Hydra NMs again for another 3 chances.

If you are seeking to kill Angra Mainyu (Mob ID 17326081), unfortunately, the drop list of all the NMs that would drop the pop item (Leering Bijou, Item Id 3357) used to force spawn Angra Mainyu) is incomplete as well as the drop percentage of the drop being horrendously low on the Item Tool compared to FFXIDB (Item Tool shows a 1% drop rate, FFXIDB has drop rate percentages between 33% all the way up to 100%...the 33% and 100% drops are likely in error due to low sample sizes). For the purposes of time (each of the placeholder mobs are 10 minute respawns and the chances are low of the NM spawning instead of the placeholder, you must kill either one of the these three NMs (should it spawn) or a total of 12 9 of the placeholder mob of the NM. This means if you kill all 3 of the placeholders, you need to wait for respawns of each placeholder once in hopes that the NM spawns instead. If the NM never spawns, the 12 9 placeholder kills are sufficient. If the NM spawns, kill it and that itself is sufficient. The NMs and their placeholders are specifically as follows:

Yagudo NM Knii Hoqo the Bisector (Mob ID 17326344), placeholder is Vanguard Persecutor (Mob ID 17326343) at I-8 (north-middle part, north of bottom of the ramp in the map grid square)

Orc NM Drakefeast Wubmfub (Mob ID 17326273), placeholder mob is Vanguard Impaler (Mob ID 17326271) at J-7 (southern edge of pond in the NW corner of map grid square)

Quadav NM Mu'Gha Legionkiller (Mob ID 17326173), placeholder mob is Vanguard Defender (Mob ID 17326171), at J-9 (east-middle part of map grid square)

There are other mobs that have the same names as the placeholder mobs in the same map grids as the placeholder mobs, you should kill all of the mobs with the same name as the placeholder mob that are near where the placeholder is indicated in the maps in the next post.

It is advised that you do not attempt to obtain both the attestation and the zone clear all in one dynamis run due to the time constraints. Like old school dynamis used to be where specific runs were done for attestation farming or for zone clears, it's best to do separate runs to allow for sufficient time to farm the above required mobs for the attestation NM or the megaboss.

Lastly, if, in your travels across the Beaucedine terrain, you happen across a orc or yagudo or quadav NM that happened to spawn instead of a placeholder you inadvertantly killed since it linked, as long as that other NM is on the list of mobs that drop the Leering Bijou (on FFXIDB or FFXIclopedia or BG-wiki), a kill of one of those NMs will also count for the one NM kill requirement for the megaboss kill.

As always, you need to screenshot the death messages of the above mobs (the Hydra NMs for the attestation NM or the placeholders/NMs for the megaboss) and paste the screenshots on this ticket in order for me to force-spawn the relevant fomor/megaboss NM.

Please respond here when you have read and understand the above requirements and are ready to let the fun begin!!!

1st EDIT: Reduced number of kills required to 9 to allow more time. 2nd EDIT: Added statement about 3 chances at the desired attestation before having to kill an additional number of Hydra NMs. 3rd EDIT: Reduced number of kills required of the placeholders of the NMs for the megaboss to allow more time, also reduced number of possible NMs/PHs to align with the now 9 total kill requirement) 4th EDIT: Added statement about other NMs that may spawn if a different placeholder mob is killed.

Leaving this issue open for any other player that also encounters this.

Good work! I'm waiting at the pop tower of the fomor NM, I'll spawn it when you are in the tower.

Good work! I'm waiting at the pop tower of the fomor NM, I'll spawn it when you are in the tower.

If you obtain the desired attestation, please comment that you did and also please give your thoughts on the req. number of hydra kills.

[Draxxus82]

Item achieved. I think 9 is a good number, the 12 left me with only 5 minutes, and to be honest, without o club and spamming weapon skills I don't think that I would have made it through in time. I had to switch jobs the second time around to try and make it faster, in general, I don't know how many people would have several different 99s to change into, easy enough for a whm to do in time.

[EpicTaru]

Good to know, thanks and congrats!

[Draxxus82]

[EpicTaru]

Yep, that's one of the other NMs that have the Leering Bijou as a drop, good work!!! I'm waiting at the pop spot of the megaboss (by where the zone into Fei'yin would be), I'll spawn it when you are there.

[Draxxus82]

After the boss was spawned all 4 dragons poped as expected the boss cast meotor II on me once he got around 50% doing over 2500 dmg. In a weakened state, I tried again, this time I planned to stun kill the boss on meotor then ws him to death. I did not stun and died again. I got help and was able to then kill the boss and get the KI.

[EpicTaru]

Hmmm, the boss isn't coded to use Meteor II at a specific point in its HP or at a certain time in battle so the fact that it did it twice is just pure RNGesus unluckiness, sorry that it happened but glad you were able to eventually defeat the megaboss. Congrats!

needing a force attestestion

[EpicTaru]

Good work! I'm waiting at the pop tower of the fomor NM, I'll spawn it when you are in the tower.

I'll force spawn the NM up to 2 more times if you are don't get the desired drop. If you don't get the drop in those 3 times total, you need to re-kill another 9 mobs like you did before.

[Draxxus82]

[EpicTaru]

Good job! I'll spawn the megaboss when you are near the spawn point.

[EpicTaru]

Pasting all these on behalf of Albian:

Angra Mainyu was forcespawned for all of the above characters.

[Warleaf]

[EpicTaru]

Very nice, @Warleaf! I'll spawn the Dyna Beaucedine boss when you are ready.

[Dankykong]

Looking to try for attestation of invulnerability for Aegis

[EpicTaru]

@Dankykong, good job!!! Let me know when you are ready to try your luck at the attestation fomor NM and I'll force-pop it up to three times for your needed attestation.

[Dankykong]

thanks! heading up now

[EpicTaru]

Pasting this here for Albian, Github still being stupid about his Github account.

Albian needed Attestation of Fortitude from fomor NM Dagourmarche.

Dagourmarche was force-spawned earlier today around 1200 CST and the needed attestation dropped on the first spawn.

[EpicTaru]

Force-spawned Goublefaupe for Dankykong, needed attestation dropped from death of NM.

Congrats on obtaining your attestation, @Dankykong!
