Naul, Elite Mark

[Vahlnir]

Sat around for hours for Naul yesterday for it to spawn and be killed before half of us could even get there... =.= The elite marks should have more HP and take a bit longer to be killed.

That was pretty much my luck until 2am last night. Came across Naul just outside of Behemoth's Dominion, with a few people already standing there waiting. One person said they weren't going to advertise...I had been trying since the patch to find this thing only to miss him by a matter of seconds/minutes each time, so I went along with it. More people showed, someone pulled, and he was dead in about 10 seconds. Thankfully I got full credit. Seeing this first hand I can see why people won't wait for others to cross the zone for a kill. He just dies way too fast to risk not getting credit, as do other rares around every zone.

Downed the Garlok an hour ago. 200 myth, 20 seals. Someone in the group got a bloody book.

Wandering around the Sepulchre in Southern Thanalan yesterday, we stumbled across a mark named A(something, I forgot, sorry) the Ashen. Worth 5 seals, 30 myth, 10 sol. Zombie music played while fighting him. XD There were two of us and a bird and he was an easy take down.

So is there really a point to dungeon roulettes now if you can get 200 myth for killing one mob?

Naul is practically impossible to kill with people being greedy and pulling early, it's low HP and terrible spawn time. I've never come across Safat in the highlands either, the conditions you meet don't make him spawn.

Holy crap, they only have 2k HP? I already knew this was gonna be horrible without some sort of claim system but didn't think it would be this bad. Seriously, just make it forced pop and claimed to the party that poped it if they didn't want to set up a claim system. Freaking horrible feature I swear.


Edit:

Nevermind, I just found out that there are apparently MUCH harder marks than Naul. However, since Naul keeps dropping seal and Sand/Oil books even if you already hunted him for the week, everyone rather camp him all FREAKING week instead of going for the harder marks.

This means it is sort of like a claim system, the first few people to spot it will kill it before anyone else get to it. Actually, after thinking about it like that, I like this system. People who work harder will be rewarded for it and people have to keep track of its spawn timer now.

Killed him twice, in an 8 man group, only got 1 seal and didn't count for my weekly reward.
Yeah somethings wrong there!

5 from my FC (plus birds) killed the Middle La Noscea rank A mark Vogaal Ja yesterday. No problem to kill him; kind of like the easiest peisteskin map with the basilisk. We each got 20 allied seals and lots of tomes. This is one thing that makes me happy I play opposite server prime time...

Has anyone found/killed any rank S marks? The info from the Hunter Scholars really seems like clues to making them show up. With Croque-Mitaine, the rank S goobue from Middle LN, there's all this about him liking worms and gardens and something about a river meeting the fields (I'd guess the Agelyss River outside Summerford). I don't know if the "clues" actually do anything (which would be cool) or if they're just decorative. :/

@sadana on,y seen and killed two S rank, one was a giant tree in sylph lands! killed so many people! reward was 50 seals and 200 myth, not sure for sold as I was capped but said I couldn't obtain.
Also killed a huge demon in camp overlook by the coeurl area,same rewards, same amount of deaths, honestly they seemed stronger than Odin and behemoth

Ah, that would be Wulgaru then. He was in the Beastlands? Not in the area before that with all the trees? Just wanted to check.

Do people get oil/sands/alexandrite from killing any elite mark or only if it is the mark of the week?
