Bug occuring when attempting to locate abyssea VNM with multiple key items.

platform: windows xp
ISP: AT&T u-verse
type of internet connection: DSL
Date of occurrence: 2/21/12
Frequency: always
character name: Shadowflame
race: tarutaruM
World: Leviathan
Main job: 94ninja
sub job: 47warrior
area: Have witnessed many times in abyssea - uleguerand and abyssea - la thiene
party
NPC name: none
monster name: none

Bug: When resting to get a message of where the tier 1 or 2 VNM i sought is while in possession of a T3 VNM trigger key item the message displayed will always read the T3 trigger key items name even though it would lead me to pop a tier1 or T2 VNM.

It has always reported from the highest level abyssite you have (ie, if you have clear and colorful, the colorful will report). You have to look closely at the description of how it is resonating to identify which monster it is responding to (feebly, softly, solidly)

When you heal, if you receive -


■"The "Abyssite" quivers ever so slightly, but emits no light. There seems to be no monsters in the area" the VNM is currently not up or is being fought right now.

■The upgrade can drop to anyone in the party aslong as they had the previous KI.
■Only when you get a direction finding, or "...quivers ever so slightly and emits a ' <see legend below> ' light." You will then know the VNM is waiting to be found.

Light Legend:
The clear demilune abyssite quivers ever so slightly and emits a faint light. = T1 is up but not nearby.

The clear demilune abyssite resonates feebly, sending a.... T1 is up and direction to it is given.

The colorful demilune abyssite quivers ever so slightly and emits a faint light. = T2 is up but not nearby.

The colorful demilune abyssite resonates softy, sending a... T2 is up and direction to it is given.

The <insert color> demilune abyssite quivers ever so slightly and emits a faint light. T3 is up but not nearby.
The <insert color> demilune abyssite resonates solidly, sending a... T3 is up and direction to it is given.
