Ul'dah, Outside Copperbell Mines -- Functionality -- Daddy Longlegs NM Spawning Point

I hear they're going to fix this particular problem. Not by taking the easy route of simply moving the mobs, but by giving gatherers a stealth ability. It still won't help with the other NM spawn point issues there are.

I mentioned a similar issue with Bardi in Nanawa Mines, with the Potters Price leve, months ago and nothing has been done. I see someone has mentioned a similar issue with Prince of Pestilence in Mun Tuy, and of course the spawn of Mosshorn sometimes being in a position where it's impossible to progress with a few leves at Nophica which has been causing people problems for even longer.

'tis a shame they feel the need to dump actual gameplay issues like this into this general trash area of the forums.

For that Daddy Longlegs you can just shout to someone kill it or kill it yourself. He is super weak and you can even solo it

It's not that he can't be solo'd. Of course someone can switch from their gathering class to a Dow/DoM to solo him. Then they can switch back to their gathering class & gear then maybe get one attempt at the node before it repawns and it has to be done all over again. It's rediculous to expect people to do this in the middle of a leve on a time limit.

They really should have checked what's going on in a particular area before setting the NMs there. Most of the Grid ones are great, the Limsa ones are almost all entirely out of the way, a good portion of Ul'dah's are too. Seems to be just a few that were put in major traffic/leve areas. Seems strange as some are put out in the middle of absolute nowhere (Pyrausta, Jackanapes) and yet these are put right in the middle of things.

I can now count what the OP said as the 3rd instance of an aggroing nm being placed near botany leve points.

Nest Commander can sit close at one of the leve target points at Camp Horizon. At least doing the leve around ~20, you can slightly buff, and run him away and see if that works. Whether or not you want to waste the logging point then under weakened status so you can move elsewhere is up to you.

Barometz at Bloodshore is the other spot I know of. Barometz is IMPOSSIBLE to move at the same ~20 rank! Furthermore flytrap monsters move probably once every 10 minutes and not a great distance when they do.

You can't kill them if you're still low leveled. Gridania's rank 20 gathering leves are the easiest with no risk to do, but both fishing leves are a 3+ minute walk out of the way from Camp Tranquil. SE needs to move the NMs.

Then ask for help, ask a fellow adventurer to aid you in your tasks. This is an MMO, use that aspect of it. While annoying, yes, but dont remove the only good thing of the game because its a little frustrating, thats the challenge.

And they speak of a stealth skill soon anyway so might do the trick.

It's not really ridiculous. the time limit on those leves is a non-issue normally.
