I checked it earlier, and it said that I heard the voice "deep underground". Apparently the closer you hear the voice, the closer he is to popping. Info on the bugger is here: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/bestiary.html?fmob=1808
I went by the crag of mea the other day and on the ground there was a "???". When I clicked on it it said "give me everything in your bag. you hear a voice coming from somewhere near the ground" can anyone tell me what this is and what I have to do because I really don't want to give everything away lol.

Ok one day as BST I was here Luck Rune at H-10 and targeted this, I have no idea what this is for or quest or mission. I tried to trade it a 4-leaf but nope since it was luck related. Does anyone know what this is for?
Me and a friend were hunting the newer NM's last night, found a bunch from the Mystery Tour website. According to that, you trade a distilled water to it and it spawns Yara Ma Yha Who. Tried trading, but it just said that the plant has enough water already. Dunno if you have to do any prerequisites for it, but the NM drops a Fasting Ring (Lv. 15 All jobs HP-20 MP+10 STR+1) Any word on how to spawn this would be appreciated, as this ring would be great for farming w/ my other character.

The Yara Ma Yha Who can only be spawned every 20 ingame hours. So if anyone else trade the water before and 20 ingame hours didn't pass by, you can't trade the water.
Um... I was recently passing through the path towards the south end of the canyon, and i ran into a ??? that wasn't there before... Around J-10. When I go to examine it, it says there is a withered plant, or something like that. It responds (in a way) when I trade items - it says "nothing happens." This leads me to believe a monster would spawn there when a certain item is traded to the ???... So, anybody know anything?
EDIT: I tried trading it distilled water, and it spawned a NM called "Yara Ma Yha Hoo," sapling type, which dropped vegetable seeds and an item called Fasting Ring. The stats are as follows: HP-20 MP+10 STR+1 lv15 all jobs, rare/ex.
Windy days do happen, they have always varied. Just yesterday i wen tin and farmed Eles and it was windy for a good 40 or so min. I got 7 eles before it ended and a total of 15 clusters. So yes windy days still do happen here.

Tahrongi has been my main farming area for a long time. Since the latest patch, I have noticed way way more Wind storms than before. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just crazy?
Dhamels are soloable for thf as early as lvl 16 if you're careful. Only take on dc's and open the fight with sneak attack. On the rare occasion you get a mean dc don't be afraid to use your 2 hour. this is a good source of exp if you're having an off day in valkurm.
what level should i be before considering entering the Maze of Shakhrami i am now a level 13/14 rdm galka and desperate for exp (arent we all[Blue][/Blue]
The levels 15-40 listed on the Maze of Shakrami main page is saying the mob levels that you will find there, not 'suggested' levels to go there.
Most good PTs can take mobs from 6-8 levels higher than they are - or even more if you have veteran players. This is not always true at real low levels (if none of you have subjob yet, etc) but is pretty true all the way to 75.
Many people go into the Maze for worms (Maze Makers) at 11 or 12 I believe - but if you do so, make sure that you have some ranged damage potential to reduce overall damage your PT takes. They cast spells but if most of the PT stays out of their range of direct attack you can do excellent chains.
Watch out for the Gobs wandering around here though - in fact you may want to bring along a higher leveled friend to kill any gobs that wander near your PT.
In response to OP - if you have problems getting a PT in the Maze (lots less people PT in there it seems these days) you may want to duo or trio your RDM (if 1 of you is tank it helps a lot) on Dhalmels in Tahrongi Canyon for a level or two (bring a few Echo Drops if you can afford it so you don't die if silenced by them) - then hit Korroloka Tunnel to do worms till you're ready for Qufim or your favorite spot for the 19-24 range. Most but not all players go to Elshimo (Kazham) for 24-30+.

If you go to Valkurm Dunes at 10 I recommend coming in from the Konstacht Highlands (sp?) zone, and setting your HP at the NPC just after you zone in. This way if you die you will be really close to where your PT camp is likely to be (most PTs do 10-15 on lizards then goblins). At these levels it's generally easier (and nicer on your PT members) if you just hit the HP after death instead of waiting for a Raise and for Weakness to wear off. You can often more than earn your 10% xp loss back in the time it takes for weakness to wear off.
Once you hit 15 (if you're staying in Dunes and not headed to Korroloka Tunnel *hint*), you may want to set HP in Selbina as most of the 15-20 camps are closer to Selbina than the Highlands zone. The Dunes are easy to get around in despite what many people say - just remember that Gobs aggro by sight - so if you run behind one you should be safe, as long as it doesn't turn at you right as you're passing it.

Just last weekend I took a Poltergeist as a 30 WHM without what you'd call ideal fighting gear.
I was near the crag raising a LS friend who had been run over by one. While he was waiting for sickness to wear off, a Geist came sniffing around, so I smacked it one.
It took a frikkin' long time and most of my MP to kill, but I wasnt in any danger of dying myself. It conned TWTBW, and didnt drop anything... but I think I got a 0.1 or 0.2 of staff skill out of it. :/

Wind Elementals spwan behind the Crag, and Earth Elementals sapwn in the little area that is surrounded my rocks in FRONT of the Crag, I hope that helps.
Does anyone know what the ??? target by the Crag of Mea is for? It tells you to "empty out your inventory". I traded it something and it said give me more.
Yeah, it could be an NM Goblin Archeologist or Goblin Alchemist..it usually says "Give me everything you have in your bag." Then it says that you hear a voice from deep within or from deep below. And if you trade something to it, and it's close enough to the top of the ground, then a notorious mob will come out and its usually inc. tough!
You are correct, the Goblin Archeologist is found at La Theine plateau and Konstchat Highlands. I have yet to make the ??? at Mea pop yet but, I can imaging the same thing applies. You can trade just about anything to them. I just kill the local vermin and feed whatever drops I get. If it is close to midnight (game time) I will wait as you can only trade it once game day. I believe the scale goes from Extremely deep under the ground to Extremely Close to the Surface with about 6-8 levels in between. It will automatically aggro the person who makes the last trade to get it to pop. With my experience fighting it I cant say that I have fought one over lvl 35 they have all been easy to kill even as a THF, but I have heard stories of High levels getting owned so I always take a friend or 2 just to be safe. I hope this helps.
Thank You for listening to my morning Ramble.

There are two types of people in this world, U.S. Marines and those who wish they could have been.
I love this area...I have leveled from 10 to 18 here. It is easy to hunt here even at night. The ghosts always tend to stay near the giant bones on the ground. So do the akabas. so if its nightime and you see any akabas, move far away. Also beware of linking DHamels. They were not too tough for me at lvls 15-18. but when they linked I always died. The other undead that haunt this region are pathetic. by lvl 14 you can solo them all. One last warning, stay away from the area just north of the crag, Poltergeists hang out there at any hour...
Yeah it's a great place to lvl except for 2 things. First, I've been in the area that I usually farm, and seen lvl 30+ killing off everything in sight or lvl 15 PT of 6 killing off dhalmel's when I know for a fact they could go elsewhere. Heck, I take them by myself most of time as a lvl 15 RDM. The only exception is right now. I was soloing a Dhalmel and a Persecutor came from behind and aggroed me. =( Now I'm eating dirt waiting for a raise. That brings me to my second point, where are the lvl 30+'s now? lol =D.

They're doing a Windurst mission. Mission 2.2, a Testing Time requires you to massively kill anything you can in Tahronghi Canyon within a time limit of 1 game day.
Very likely... either that or they could also have been a farming party - if one of them has leathercraft, one bonecraft, one alchemy, etc then they can make a decent amount of gil for the level, especially if they had a THF 15+ (for Treasure Hunter) along with.
Stacks of beeswax, dhalmel leather, cotton cloth, gelatin, etc. - or unstackables like bone rings, etc - lots of goodies can be synthed off of drops found in the Canyon - especially if you get free crystals from the mobs you kill.

Beware the Ghosts at night, just stay away from Ghosts, a "tough" con ghost took out a 3 member party (10-12) and we did less than 10% damage to it. Killed me in 1 hit (over 85 dam)
They're not hard to avoid... they only show up by the bone piles. If you see huge dinosaur looking bones with Akbabas (bird type mob) nearby then watch out from 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM - the Ghost type mobs will pop then. Remember, Ghosts and Bones (the various skeleton type mobs) are undead, and so will be damaged if you cast Cure on them. Yes really... there are few things more satisfying than seeing a newbie player getting beaten on by an aggroing undead and saving them by zapping it with a Cure IV. Fun and a nice thing to do.
The Poltergeists (Evil Weapon type mob) pop all day long but are mostly on the East side of the Crag, so they're easy to avoid too

Its I-8. He actually spawns pretty often. Walk in an east/west pattern in I-8 and kill every Dhamel you see (you have to kill his placeholder). Fought him 3X in as many hours.
What does this mythical zone in at the NE tip look like? Hubby and I got into trouble by aggroing a ghost and a couple Akbabas and tried to zone in but found only a dead end.
This is an old post, but I'll answer it anyways as it may be helpful to newer players.
In order to be teleported to one of the Crags (or the other telepoints), you must first visit it in person and 'touch' the spinning blue crystal thing on the platform. Once you've done this, you can go on a ride with a WHM who has the correct Teleport-x spell.
The WHM will invite you into their party (perhaps ask for 500 gil) then Tele the whole pt there.

This zone can be an xp paradise or nightmare, depending. Solo players between 10 and 15 are advised to hunt during the day, while groups would best be served at night. Be careful of undercons and overcons. Most of the smaller animals (rarabs, sprouts, bees) are overconned, and are quite good xp for the ease of kill. Others, such as the wild zhamels (?) are ridiculously underconned and have even wiped groups of mine when simply "tough"... and as stated before, ware the undead at night!
If you go up the west side, at G11 you should see a turn-off to go North. Not only is it a much faster way, but there is a small opening where you can find some decent monsters until lvl 12 or so.

I love it cause I can excavate for bonework, and smack around Dhalmels for fun, but I hate(d) it because of ghosts and Poltergeist.
Lesson learned: Yes, I could kill dhalmels easily as a 23THF.
No, I cannot kill Ghosts as a 23THF.
No, Sneak Attack does NOT work against Poltergeist, because they aggro by sound. x.x
Haven't tried fighting either Ghosts or Poltergeists recently, but I'll see when I hit 33THF.
