High-level Elementals ENRAGED!

There are lvl78ish elementals spawning all over Cedarwood killing people! Where else is this happening?

I didn't know this, but it makes me really happy!

I want to see this.

That's very cool! Nicely spotted.

Yes, my brother and his girlfriend ran into a bunch of elementals, so it seems that the "new enemies added" was just elementals that they took out at some point.

FFXIV's version of Goblin Bounty Hunters? If it was lore based I would expect someone would have angered the Elementals and they would be in the Black Shroud.

Ya know... Cedarwood is a popular gilseller leveling point. I wonder if SE did it just to have some laughs :)

I imagine Dalamud angered the elementals. Or maybe the RMT if its only at cedarwood.

This is awesome! Unfortunatly many months late : ( The gillies will just move camps. SE should just have an invisible "mark" on people who bot / rmt trains that spawns an elemental beside them outside of town.

Good, it's about freakin' time!


DIE RMT SCUMBAGS!!!!

I doubt they're doing this just for the RMT seeing as it's happening elsewhere too.

It's a Dalamud thing.

either way, the effect is the same.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this was one of the locations though. hilarious :D

OMG!!! GOOD find! *Logs in and grabs a bag of popcorn*




update: lol, i got ganked with my 20fisher(just walking around on my chocobo) XD

Cederwood? Elementals linked to forests? It definitely isn't a coincidence, since RMT also hang around Drybone and Emerald Moss and there hasn't been a bunch of elementals around there, yet anyway.

So were down to what 6 camps (not counting grid) that are free from atomos, garlians, and now elementals?

Shit is getting real.

This thread gave me a good /chuckle

Pretty much. They could have used any mobs but they've used elementals.

The only other thing I can think of is 'The wheel of disaster' quest.

SE needs to make this shit sight aggro. True sound is pretty lame.

RMT activities have angered the elementals!

You think the end of the world is supposed to be easy? Skipping around La Noscea singing happy songs as a giant ball of death is going to crash into the world and cause untold destruction.

The fact the mobs are becoming like this just shows that its really happening. It's not like it stops you doing anything, leves, go to another camp that's safe, going to a dungeon near (Is it cassie hollow near cedarwood?) go to the next nearest camp and Chocobo. Unless you are really an RMT and are sick of watching your armies of Lalafell teleport in and get raped...

You misunderstood. This should be sight aggro so that it can actually kill all of the RMT. Only seeing the leaders die is pretty lame.

If the mobs pop near enough to the node they should aggro the RMT army unless they are set to walk, remember teleporting to a camp with Atomos and a skeleton or ghost kills you before everything loads?

Also (correct me if I am wrong) don't true sound mobs aggro through walking?

I'm not entirely sure is True sight/sound makes any sense anyways. They should aggro to magic but SE decided to make them aggressive. I don't entirely understand the reason behind this decision but elementals should be passive/aggressive and in harmony with life around them but if you do something to intimidate them, well, you know...



Note: lv.45~50Bombs/Balloons would of been the best mob choice!

Not sure if it's just my server or what, but the elementals are pretty spread out from the aetheral gate. So they don't really need to walk.

Weird I just ran across an NPC last night who talked about the elementals becoming enraged. Hard to say if it was a new NPC or an old one with new speech.

BLACK SHROUD BE ANGRY
This is what you get for wanting Gridania to burn for the last 2 years.

NPCs have been saying that since launch really, since your very presence angered the forest to begin with lol.

They aren't "true sound" to begin with (nor is there any such thing - scent agro mobs attack anything they can smell, which is close enough, regardless of whether or not they are moving... which by definition means they don't agro any kind of sound, true, false, regular, or otherwise). They are just regular sound agro. Which means the RMT sitting on the gate don't get attacked, period.

That said, you can certainly pile a ton of eles around the gate and the leaders will get constantly killed as they try to initiate LQs. Also you can scatter the eles to the west of Cedarwood, which is the field whatever LQ thing they're doing is done. It's very easy to choco herd them where you want. They have a large territory.

Actually there are. Call it what you will but walking halves the actual aggro radius. Boars and Wolves fall into this category.

Burn those treants down!

Pretty cool to see this happen though. It ties in well enough with the world going to hell in a handbasket that it doesn't just seem like a coincidence they pop these where the biggest supposed gil farmer camp is. :P

Elementals enraged... (??)

This makes for blabbering lore of silliness. We have a meteor like object on a collision course to Eorzea and they couldn't think of using Bombs or Balloons as the proper mobs to translate from "Fire from the sky" as from the trailer.

Atleast bombs would aggro by sight and be non-discriminate at the same time.

Burn RMT/BOTs Burn!!! :cool:

This gives me a happy.

How am I supposed to get the Title "Sword of La Noscea" now? I still have 0/20 leves for Cedarwood and I was about to start working on them.
