You can buy pop item from AH for Cep-Kamuy that's no problem go ahead and take it, but for some other NM you needs lots time and manpower to get KIs.

    Just like my previous post, the NM should at least remain claimed for a short period of time. The charming one is something else, tho.
    Brain fart, I meant Cirein-Croin. Cep doesn't charmga.

    But if a WHM flashes and then dies, that's their own fault. WHMs are sturdier than melees anyways, and practically invincible in Abyssea. That's not the point of course, the point being that when the last person to act on the mob dies that the mob goes unclaimed. However, this is incredibly easy to avoid if people aren't being stupid.

    And as I mentioned in the same post, the original party has a 2:1 advantage on re-claiming the monster as long as they are paying as much attention as the "stealing" party. No one should ever be anything less than alert when a body drops while fighting an NM anyways. Losing claim to inattentiveness is perfectly fair, and can happen to either side.

    You're lucky Khajit is your friend, or he'd postulate that you'd never done Abyssea before.

    I am curious. What NM exactly takes a lot of manpower to get KIs from? Or hours to get a KI for that matter?

    A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts. Here is a game most of you can handle.

    Maybe this was said on one of the previous pages but I didn't really bother to read through them. XD If a ZNM goes unclaimed and claimed by another outside of your pt if you go within a certain range of that ZNM it will turn red and become your NM again. (This happened 3x in a row with cheese hoarder one particular day) It was pretty awesome and I don't see why that would be a bad system to put in place for other such pop NMs. The coding for it is already there it seems like it would be a simple adjustment in a version update.

    My thread is talking about the same thing. You do realize sobek requires 3 ki to farm to pop him right? And it can take longer then a rani ki farm.

    2. If you repeatedly keep losing claim because you die or otherwise screw up - seriously, suck less.

    3. If there really is a glitch that makes mobs randomly go unclaimed for no reason at all, it can't be happening very often because otherwise there would be 4237647625 forum members SCREAMING about it on this forum.
    There's two threads with over 60 post each about the same situation. I think this qualifies.

    Nah, apparently there are just that many uninformed players that post on these boards.

    Players that wipe too often, it seems.

    There are two threads made by 2 different people basically whining about losing claim on NMs, and a handful of people in both threads agreeing with them. It's not like there are 60+ replies to both threads made by people who all have experienced a mob going unclaimed for no reason.

    This down was carried by the winds of Vana'diel. Some people breathed it in and contracted Phoenix Downs Syndrome. Some of those people post on this very board.

    Unfortunately SE has always catered to the lowest of the lowest common denominators with 60 min rage timer on Fafnir etc, so I wouldn't hold my breath for anything below 30 minutes.

    It has nothing to do with wiping I see you have not been paying attention.
