Just thought I'd make a quick post here and ask if anyone has gotten this since the update?
I started a whm mule with the new abyssea edition and have been working on this for about 4 hours now combined, and haven't gotten it to drop. I'm a little baffled because on my main it took less then 30 kills and with friends it was about 20-30 as well.
Anyone?

I got mine after the big update and before the mini the other day.
Went 1/1, but I'm a THF, so its not a very accurate drop rate.

I didn't think key item drops were affected by TH at all. And while it is indeed a small sample size, it's still enough to answer the OP's question.

It's completely random, TH has no effect at all since it's a KI.
I got it on my 3rd kill on my character and it took well over 2 hours on my sisters months ago. There is no set goal time to random events, it could be instant it could take days.
This is a little shocking to see... I thought they adjusted this drop rate to be near instant. I remember spending about 13 hours on it. A month later some friends return to the game and I start the linkshell back up and everyone got theirs 1/1 or like 1/3... really pissed me off.
It pissed you off that you didn't have to spend another 13hrs for every one of their Abyssites there?

5 hours now. It takes me about 1 minute to pull and kill a tonberry, so thats around 300 tonberrys killed give or take. I've heard of it taking a couple hours for people before, but 5? As far as I know I'm doing it right, pulling with my whm and whatnot.
It's quite frustrating to be stuck here, running out of stones, just to try and get more stones!

Are you actually taking an action with your white mage on the mob, or just aggroing it and running it back?
It took me about 70 Tonberries. Unfortunately at the time, I had to solo it and I was a crappy Teal Black Mage. :<
The other day when I went in to help a friend get it (now that I have some AF3+1 and +2 :D) we got it 1/1. XD

I cast a spell on. Tried various spells, dia, holy, tier 1 elemental spells, enfeebles etc just no luck.

Sitting at 10 hours now. My WHM has gone fro 76-77 just from farming this abyssite. Just wanted to re ask my question: Has anyone or anyone's friend gotten the abyssite since the mini patch last week? Thanks.

I got this abyssite the other day on my second account, took about two hours worth of effort though. Still got it. It's very luck-based, just like a good majority of FFXI's content.

Is your WHM the first character to claim/take action (make the name go from yellow to red) on the mob? IIRC the KI will not drop if the mob is claimed by someone that is already in possession of the KI.

Check your Temporary Key Items for it. It might have dropped when you were looking away.

Nothing new. Took me nearly an eternity to farm 3 (12+ hours before first dropped, around 30 hours total). Went back a few days later after i finally got last and took 20 min for a friend. No need for further status updates. Just keep at it.
