Please bring back notorious monsters.

[Aldwin]

Some of my favorite times from XI were farming notorious monsters. Sometimes alone, sometimes not.

Killing mobs in an area and then finally seeing the named version of them appear. Or running through a zone and seeing a special mob "up", really added a feel of "adventure" and a unique sense of exploration to the game, at least imo.

That is all...

FATEs do that...

There are many kind of FATEs, and some of them are triggered by certain conditions like killing many of X enemy type.

Or a chain-trigger of a previous FATE.

Fates, at least to me, don't feel quite the same. Its a glowing redish dot on your map that shows the other XXXX number of players to go zerg it for 30 seconds of quick exp.

I remember running through Kuftal Tunnel and seeing Guivre up. He wasn't super rare, and his drop wasn't "Great", but it was somewhat exciting.

Ahh Guivire that freaking chicken! lol Wyverns would walk around like Chickens(how I saw them at least XD) So I'd always curse at the chicken back in my lower lvl days when he'd get me haha... Thanks for reminding me of that.

On topic, I wouldn't mind NM's but I'm pretty sure SE already said no back on the Beta forums /shrug.

Think he's talking about the special boss monsters that spawn in fates such as cancer, Svara and the one from "the eyes have it".

So what you're asking is some kind of hidden FATEs that do not show on map - I think that'd be fun actually ( ' w '-

Spiny Spippi's Mist Cape! The first NM drop I ever hunted!

I have to say, NMs or otherwise, it was at least nice having more options for getting gear than just farming the same tokens upon tokens upon tokens for every job.

I second this, although I doubt they will veer bring it back. Was an awesome feeling and would love to have it back, but this isn't XI 2.0, unfortunately *cries*

I mean just some smaller, named monsters that have various spawning conditions. That drop mediocre gear. It would be exciting to farm a staff, or a wand sword ect.. that was somewhat special compared the average one you could make. Something similar to a dungeon drop.

I haven't experienced any of the "Rare" fates yet I guess.
