Vana'diel Bestiary: Mee Deggi the Punisher  

im 1/1 on both r/e dropboth killed with n 10 min

I can say with some confidence that Angina's info is correct. I also believe that the NM can spawn as soon as the placeholder dies (this was held true for over 20 spawns).

However, the NM does NOT spawn in the same place as where the PH has been killed. I killed the PH on the east side of the room, and the NM spawned in the west side.

Good luck hunting~

hey can sam/war 45 handle it?

Still really heavily camped, but it's doable. I've gotten 2 claims out of 7 viewed pops. He normally pops south of the middle platform, from what I've noticed. I really want these badly...

Since the Gs bans recently there has only been a couple there meaning normal player rule this NM for a short while :D 1 of which inc i saw it spawn 16 times in 5 days before i got too bored aand gve up... i claimed this NM 9/16 times as brd/thf :D not 1 drop;; i have to agree with the 1 PH myth from what i saw i know i dont; have the experince like some players but it spawned 13 times quickly with me just killing the 1 that walked into the water (only 1 mob wwill walk right to the side of the middle platform... but yes this is what i think about this NM and good luck to aall who camp it

i agree with Vyrnior here, im from the odin server and i must of camped these things like 28 hours in the past week and every single mee deggi pop has been claimed by the same 4 rmt Cordero, Wintely, Sidesteppingemu, and Aalap.
i dont know how but im pretty sure that the last claim i saw one of them provoked the NM from across the room >.>

this is a little something i like to call BS and SE isnt doing anything about it on Odin ><

If you have widescan, you can use it to correctly identify the PH. After killing the PH, I DO NOT reccommend spamming widescan, you will miss the pop. Either clear the room afterwards, so that the next yag that pops will be the PH or NM, or wait 6:00game hours, and if you dont see NM then use widescan to identify PH again.

Could i solo him as a lvl 50 Pld/War? Or do i have to be at least 51.

let me start by saying i agree with everything angina says on every aspect of this nm. All of his PH info is correct as far as I have experienced, seeing over 100 Mee Degg the Punisher pops and about 70 Quu. I am 1/21 on Mee Deggi, and 0/33 on Quu, I also dont think Treasure Hunter helps, occasionayl when i camp with a party i have a thf. only drop ive ever gotten was solo, DRK/WAR. Once i had two 75 thf and two 60+ thf no drop. About the ph.. it is always the drummer/interregator on this one and Oracle/herald on Quu. if u forget this, it is the opposite 2 of the Yagudo that walk on the platform in each room. and 5 minute game time seems to be 12 minute rl if that helps. Once, like Angina mention, i saw it pop after the Yagudo Interregator popped and walked all the way onto the plarform, so im sure it was ph. sometimes random things to happen so always stay on your heels. As far as those who think there is no ph im pretty sure i have disproved that. It was only myslef and an RMt in Quu room once, and it had been 1 hour since last ToD, i decided not to kill any yagudo, waited 3 hrs cleared the room, and bam Quu Domi the Gallant popped corresponding to his ph. another time a friend and i camped mee deggi for 3 hrs, after killing Quu, only ppl in castle oztroja in that entire time span was an afk rdm in the room standing at the platform and a thf standing in the doorway also afk, so we go to quu after getting mee deggi, he isnt up, thats 3 hrs, we clear the room and he pops. also not sure who but a poster said none on the entire first floor have a ph?? what about Moo Ouzi the Swiftblade, I am positive his ph is the Yagudo Theologist, i was bored and went afk in that hallway, where the theologist was alive, had all chat filters off, yet camp back to find same theologist sitting there, i know it was the same one because my target icon was on him the whole time, no NM up. killed him about 3 times, 10 minute repop always either nm or ph unlike quu and mee random time from 2:00-5:00 from ToD. And besides when nm pops the Theologist pops ten minutes from when u kill nm, always.
I think basically that it is safe to say there are PH
, i want to thank Angina for his information, it was all accurate, i tested things i had already seen to be sure, Good job Angina and thank you for caring enough to write all u did to help ppl

Edit: Deleted my rant and collected all the relevant information regarding these NMs into my post above.

you know what?? could it be possible that the GS's that never get kicked, work for SE???

For those of you on PC, the .dat file containing the names for mobs in Castle Oztroja is in the following file. I imagine it may be similar on PS2 and XBOX but I do not know how to acess those files.

C:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\ROM\26\88.dat

These three names used to fill the NM slot. The placeholder would either be a Drummer or Interrogator. This mob was easily identifiable since it would be the drummer or interrogator after the crabs on widescan,

2x Maggot (nw side)
Yagudo Herald (NW side, 100% pop)
Yagudo Drummer (NW side, 50% pop)
Yagudo Interrogator (NW side, 50% pop)
6x Crab in water
Yagudo Herald (Center Island, 100% pop)
Yagudo Oracle (Center Island, 100% pop)

Yagudo Drummer (Placeholder, 50% pop when Mee Deggi doesn't pop, pops anywhere)
Yagudo Interrogator (Placeholder, 50% when Mee Deggi doesn't pop, pops anywhere)
Mee Deggi the Punisher


If you rename the drummer and interrogator to be easily identifiable when they pop, you can immediately know which ones they are.
*In one case I was busy killing one of the "old placeholders" when Mee Deggi the Punisher popped.
*Another time Mee Deggi the Punisher popped shortly after defeating one of the old placeholders. It popped in less than a vanadiel hour after placeholder death.
*Another time (happened more often for me) Mee Deggi would pop before the scheduled time, it would get claimed, and the old placeholder would pop at the expected time.
*I have chosen not to kill the placeholder and noted that Mee Deggi the Punisher would pop regardless of whether I chose to kill it. Others would sometimes kill the old placeholder regardless of me asking them not to kill any (perhaps thinking I was trying to trick them). I am unable to be absolutely confident that a placeholder does not need to be killed, however the placeholder and Mee Deggi the Punisher can now be up at the same time. Before they shared the same slot.

It is possible that a placeholder still needs to be killed, but that Mee Deggi the Punisher can pop between 4 and 10 minutes after placeholder death, with the old placeholder continuing to pop regardless.

Keep ur hopes up. We had a speed hacker on our server campin. After 3-4 GM calls A gm appeared and Poof the Hacker was gone never to return again. Was the sweetes thing i've ever seen in game lol.
