Wyvernpoacher Drachlox Picture

A corrupt Ranger who captures wyverns and other rare animals to sell for a high price on the black market. It seems Drachlox has bought a brand new crossbow with his earnings just recently.

He hits hard

Our party finally mustered up the nerve to take the gob on, who spawned a few hours after we had been cleaning out the area of its goblins. The highest member was one 60 DRK, everyone else was 58-59. Full PT make up was RDM BRD WHM DRK DRK PLD.
The melees went into the fight with full TP, and as the fight began the BRD used his spinning disco ball two hour. The NM was hitting the PLD hard (100+ a hit) so at first we thought we had made a mistake, but with mage's balland + refresh for MP we were able to keep his health within a safe range. The DRKs used their two hours in conjunction with SE, but as far as I know the WHM never had to use beni.
At one point the taru WHM got aggro, when the mob had 1/6 of its health left. The NM seemed to ignore the PLD's invincible, but through the grace of stoneskin + blink, the WHM survived. At the end of the fight, the WHM had a little less than 100 MP, I had 79. No deaths, it dropped 1000 gil each and a gold beastcoin.
If you can easily chain the gobs in that area, then I would say your party has a good chance of taking it down. I think a BLM or RNG would have pulled too much aggro, so in their place I'd suggest having a dedicated backup healer to assist the WHM, since the mob hits hard. I threw in paralyze and slow on the NM, and hasted the DRK..but for the rest of the time I was either refreshing or helping the WHM cure the PLD.

All in all it was a fun fight, and a nice way to end an XP PT.

Spawns at H-9 ish on the second map of Gustav.

His Eagle Eye Shot did around 900+ damage to the 75 tank fighting him. You have been warned. ^^

He drops a ton of cash. Each member of our 8-person alliance got ~780G when he died.

We've killed him multiple times as a l59 party. It's a very tough fight though at that level. Makeup whm, pld, blm, rng, thf, rdm. We used almost all of our 2 hrs and convert, and have tricked gear, and it leaves us pretty much spent. Only one death to our ranger when he eagle eyed while the hate was off the pld temporarily. Hit him for around 1000 and killed him.

His ranged attacks are pretty weak compared to his melee. Try and run him around and you'll probably have an easier time. Can't really stick debuffs at our level, but you can still prevent a lot of melee hits by moving around and making him ranged attack you.

I would say he's around 70-72. He is definitely not 75.
he ain't so bad

Killed it twice while leveling, no drop, 1k gil,gobby goods and a gold beastycoin each time.

Keep your tank's life very, very high and don't let the tank lose agro (The Eagle Eye Shot did ~600 to our tank one day, and the next day did ~1400 to our ranger) and it's a very doable fight for a well-formed lvl 59 party.

While levelling in Gustav Tunnel this Goblin decided to pop in front of my party, so we decided to take him on. The party setup was BLM, RDM, WHM, PLD, DRG, THF, all level 59 or 60. We were doing well against him, but it was taking too long and our MP was being depleted too quickly so we Escaped out. We ran back in and hooked up with another party there to level, all level 59/60. With our parties combined we were able to take Wyvernpoacher down with ease.

He dropped Othinus' Bow, along with other misc. items such as Fire Crystals, Gold Beastcoin, and normal goblin drops for the goblins around him.
