Notorious Monsters

[charleseo]

Does Fate replace NMs? I remember the bitter sweet hours and days spent hunting Notorious Monsters for their rare drops, armor, crafting materials, and items to spawn other more powerful Boss Monsters. I am all for Dungeons, Missions, and the armor they drop but nothing will replace a few good friends spending quality time together beating out a NM bucket list between LS events.

So far as I understand, all NMs are now fates. Which means you're more than welcome to camp them still, but you don't have to compete with other players for the claim. Most seem to only reward you with the standard FATE rewards, exp, gil and the like, but a few FATEs offer rewards if you get a gold medal and others increase local vendor's stock so that they include rare items (like minions!) So there are still benefits to camping certain FATEs.

Hope this helps, happy gaming!

I saw this feature in lotro...but fates work too. It kinda keeps me on my toes just doing these...just hope fates don't include like a super hard behemoth in certain areas.

All of FATE is datamined on xivdb already, including event sequences and <pos>. KB looks like a two-part around dominion while dalamund (sp) pops around North Shroud.

Datamining isn't nice. Say sorry to the developers for saying a bad word, Cousinjimmy.

My mind is blown...did you create an account with that name just for this joke O.O?

I still have so many oddly nostalgic memories of camping VE in the dunes or the like....amazing how time turns those into "fun" haha

I can remember there being many other things I'd rather be doing. I did try to have as much fun as possible, but that could only go so far.

I would really like to see NM's make it into the game, I did enjoy camping them in FFXI and would like them to make an appearance. That said I could do without things like the brown or black belt items or Bloodsucker. I would like to see something in between what we had in 1.0 and FFXI, reasonable spawn timers even 21-24hr is fine fore the biggest ones but preferably something longer than 3min but not 12 hours for simple low level gear and drop rates better than 1% but not 100. Also, taking the lessons we learned from 11 and making most drops R/EX so they aren't swarmed with RMT.

I think that incorporating them into the FATE system could have some real nice possibilities, the ability to force level sync on people would stop high level characters from rolling low level NMs and would also allow the devs to make any/all NMs challenging and enjoyable by applying special restrictions, victory conditions or whatnot.
