Rage mode?
# Aug 12 2008 at 1:12 PM Rating: Decent
Since the speed belt is replaced by a Rare/Ex Version, Does he still go in rage mode?

Since the whole point for SE adding rage mode was to make it harder for gil sellers to claim, which is out the window now.

the introduction of R7e versions of existing items did NOT bring any change to NM behaviour. . .aka he will still rage and pop conditions are same as always

This NM now drops Avalon Breastplate btw, Rare
Vit, Mnd, Chr, +7
Acc. +13
Enm.+3
Magical damage taken -5%
But it's the NM that's found inside of The sandworm that drops it, not the normal one found in jugner.

so i was just asking one of my ls buddies if he actually paid for his belt. turns out that he was walking by this nm and hnmls asked if he wanted to join in, he did and they got potent belt as drop and he was lucky enough to win the lot... seeing as how this goes for 1.3mil on my sever i think he got pretty lucky but im happy for... /em steals belt while friend is sleeping... hehe

Actually Potent Belt is an item obtained from Assault Points in Whitegate. He didn't get this from King Arturo. The only belt that he ever dropped was the Speed Belt, which now he drops the r/ex version Velocity Belt. Potent belt give acc and str, KA's belt gives haste.

Avesta
# May 12 2006 at 12:45 AM Rating: Decent
Avesta can't solo this NM, I don't think anyone can. In case you haven't noticed, Avesta takes like 3 hours to kill a NM like Genbu or Bune. Most RDM can solo it using similar techniques, like low dmg Daggers that do 0 damag but 24 additional with en-thunder etc. not giving the mob TP but hurting it, stuff like that. It's not that Avesta is bad ***, it's just most people don't really ponder over different strategies to spend 3-5 hours killing something. I don't think Avesta could solo Genbu, if Genbu went into rage mode.

RE: Speed belt

I will buy that nice speed belt from you if you can manage to send it over to the Asura server..Speed belt's value is probably around 200-300 million right now from all of the inflation on our server x.x

King 2hr?
# Dec 08 2005 at 9:30 PM Rating: Default
Does king have a 2hr, and can a 61 rdm and a 75 rdm duo???
RE: King 2hr?
# Feb 13 2006 at 9:26 PM Rating: Default
Yes, king arthro does have a two hour, hundred fists. And, no, I don't think a 61rdm and a 75 rdm could duo him, since he now will go into rage mode after being alive in battle for about 15 minutes, which makes his defense rise to an incredible amount, along with his attack strength. I suppose maybe avesta would be able to solo him as rdm/nin though.. -_-

Avesta used to be on my server, Asura (pretty sure, least everyone I know says he was) but then he moved to Remora when it came out. Theres still videos on things he solo'd out on the web.

I was at a link on google showing him kickin Ash dragons butt :P

Pop location
# Nov 26 2005 at 11:00 PM Rating: Decent
Ok guys, i just wanted to clear a few things up.When the KnightRobber crabs pop, do they pop near the water? or can they pop anywhere on that trail leading to the water.

Also, when KA pops, does he also pop right next to the water or out on the grass opening too?

And if anyone has the ToD on this for Slyph, please post it here or send tell to my friend Thiefz in game ^^(even tho you prolly wont hehe).

ok thank you guys

Crabs pop near water, in a small circle... King Arthro pops pretty much right next to the water.
NM Changes
# Nov 24 2005 at 7:23 AM Rating: Excellent
49 posts
This NM is no longer soloable. The recent update from SE made sure of that. Went to camp this evening... THF75 and WHM75 duo, thinking we'd give it a shot. 2 JP LS's there, each about a full alliance. Another NA duo(NIN BLM).

So King Arthro pops, the other duo get claim. NIN doing an excellent job... Arthro so weak, MAYBE 1/20 hits landing. WatergaIV, w/ BLM's barwatera, doing 74 damage. Never even has to use ichi, even with instacast -ga spells. BLM free to use majority of MP for TierIV nukes, doing 700~1100 damage a pop. This goes on for a long time.. everyone watching.

King Arthro 2hrs around 30%... still no problem, everything going fine, NIN so damn evasive hardly any hits land. This is, mind you, after about 45 mins of NIN + BLM duo.

Then things start to go sour. NM @15% HP, starts missing a LOT less. Perhaps 1/2 hits is a miss. WatergaIV coming far more often -- still in and of itself not dangerous, but removing blinks -- Blinks are down, NIN taking ~100 a hit. Finally gets shadows up.. removed by -ga. Still only ~100 a hit... BLM just switched to cure mode, everything is fine. Now hits doing 200 a piece. Ninja falls. Black mage follows. I get claim, somehow (as THF). WHM doesn't even have time to react. Full evasion gear on 75THF, capped evasion... 3 hits for 350 damage a piece. Didn't even try to miss. So one JP LS gets claim. Damage goes up to hitting PLD for ~600 a hit. Bodies starting to pile. 2hrs popping off left and right, whenever Invincible/Perfect Dodge is up, that player is dead and another takes his place. RDMs chainspelling nukes, BLMs going berserko, even WHMs coming in to melee to deal as much damage as possible, since cures no longer matter. Finally he falls, with about 6/18 of one JP LS remaining, the other mostly dead.

SE's recent patch is, I assume, the culprit. The part that you can't kite an HNM to change ToD to something more convenient...I've seen the same thing with Roc. Of course, this could be attributed to SE sticking it to gilsellers in a far different way than simply making the item rare/ex. I like the second possibility a lot more^^

Either way, no way you can solo, or even duo, this NM any more. *cry*
RE: NM Changes
# Feb 13 2006 at 9:51 PM Rating: Good
Either your story is wrong, or king arthro is just different on different servers, but, on Asura, arthro goes into rage mode at ~15 minutes, and yes his strength slowly increases when hes in rage, and he starts to resist everything.

Though, when i have fought KA myself, it seemed a lot longer of a fight than it actually was. But, a blackmage nuking it for 45 minutes (with resting included) and doing around 800-1000 damage or so would be more than enough to kill it.

Also on Asura, when KA had just killed people from rage mode, my party claimed him immediatly as soon as he went unclaimed again, and he was no longer in rage mode, and we killed him with ease.

Though, it was still pretty funny seeing a party of people kiting him around, and then raising each other back up when they were killed, only to be killed as soon as they got up.

Wow, that story is amazing.

You'd think after 45 minutes, the NM would have gotten to as strong as it was after it took steroids, but I guess there's just a "trigger point" where the NM goes berserk all at once.

Its nice that SE took measures to make the game just a bit harder with this patch, cause obviously if you can duo a mob for an 80 mil item, something's wrong. It forces you to take lots of people so you get faster kills and he doesn't hit his berserk point. Even if I was in an alliance though, I have no problem sharing 80 mil with 18 people ^^b

Arthro stealers
# Sep 05 2005 at 6:24 PM Rating: Decent
Be aware of people trying to steal arthro if you try to have a thf last hit him and there's a risk that the people engaged to him might die. Arthro got stolen from us because the people who were still engaged at 1% hp wiped to waterga IV cuz barwatera wore at the worst possible time.
RE: Arthro stealers
# Nov 13 2005 at 8:41 PM Rating: Default
Why would you disengage just turn your back to it or unequipt your weapon and acc/atk gear lol
My linkshell does disengage on g-ds but theres no risk in having it stolen because no one steals g-ds excpet gil sellers which in that case we take caution .
#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 03 2005 at 9:17 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) We got KA at least 10/12 claims. We killed it today after a PT wiped to it @ 3% due to zerking. DROPS:
