Greetings, johnno25!
Thank you for posting your concerns about Abyssea-Attohwa. I understand how these matters could be disruptive to your Abyssea runs, so I have made sure to submit your report to the development team for a thorough investigation. I recommend both checking on this thread and on www.PlayOnline.com for any developments with the investigation. Thanks again for your report!

Greetings again, johnno25!
Thank you for your patience with waiting for a response. Unfortunately, it seems that the development team needs more detailed information about your experiences with the Abyssea NM's, specifically what was expected to be released in accelerated amounts, and what you were doing when trying to increase the lights. Any and all information that you can further provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your participation!

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the extra lights from these are based off their level. Since there aren't as many people in the zone anymore, they don't get killed nearly as often, so they don't stay "leveled up". Most of the ones I find around now are EP and DC (with the rare EM) level, and I have to kill many more of them to match the lights the T/VT/IT ones used to give.

I believe there is a targetable "Dark Miasma" spot in the middle of that miasma, which means it's for the "Hazy Prospects" quest from Harith at the base camp. This quest isn't repeatable for fame, and now since many people have completed it, there are fewer people trading the "Miasmal Counteragent" to it. I'd recommend making and carrying some of this with you whenever you come to Abyssea-Attohwa if they bother you that much, or you can use a different conflux or path.
