Atomos is killing everyone.

[AmyNeudaiz]

Does killing just one mark the quest for completion?

Yes. /10characters

Just put your character on walk and you wont aggro.

Really? I simply ported in with them on top of me, didn't move at all and got stomped by 9 of them. So unless it was a glitch, I think not.

if they're already attakcing someone (AOE) then yeah, but what we did was just pre walk before porting and then walk away from all the action

I'm not so sure about the no aggro thing. The skeleton minced me last night while I was walking.

It's pretty annoying that you actually need to claim to get completion.

This would be the perfect opportunity to get adventurers to work together.

Claim competition isn't too bad really. Many people get killed because they get too many mobs, so just grab the unclaimed ones trailing off of people, you'll be doing them a favor :P None of the monsters are extremely difficult, and can be easily trio'd. The trick is to position yourself outside of the camp perimeter, and pull the unclaimed mobs out of the camp. This way you you'll avoid aggro on multiple mobs. Like I said, most people get killed because they get way too many mobs at once, and I put their level probably in the low 60s. Just kill one for quest complete, or farm the Over-Aspected crystals.

As far as the fixed times and weather effect pop conditions, I wouldn't be able to confirm or deny anything. The first time we found him, Atomos had appeared over Bluefog...from there it felt like an episode of DBZ, all power-up and no fight, then he disappeared. Next time he spawned, he spit out his mobs and we snagged a quest complete and a couple of crytals. Good hunting!

No, I meant I got aggro. I was one of a very few people actually at the camp and all were unclaimed when I ported in and they all got aggro on me and killed me almost instantly.

Skeleton should have, like other human enemies, sight aggro

Are you sure? I remember undead aggroing to sound in FFXI, but I don't know if it's the same in FFXIV. Plus skeletons don't have eyes...

I think so too. Sound, should be.
