Vana'diel Bestiary: Fomor Ranger  

For you BST out there, you can solo this easy in Phomiuna Aqueducts @ D 11/12 E 11/12. You will need a DC slime from the entrance to do your tanking. Pop reward when needed. Recharm slime inbetween kills. I packed +31 chr with food myself and they gauge as Might. If /dnc it can be no problem. Just melee for TP to heal yourself while trying to charm.

Impact already posted this info about a year ago + but seems no one saw it considering people have been asking questions that he answered. I will confirm this info.

There are 2 types of Fomor Rangers, Elvaan and Hume. Hume Fomor Rangers DO NOT drop the Virgo Subligar. They drop no subligars. The ONLY Elvaan Fomor Ranger shares a pop cycle with a Fomor Thief in the D/E-11/12 room that Eba pops in on the second map. He is not partied with any other Fomors. This is the ONLY Fomor Ranger that will drop the Virgo Subligar. I don't got a clue on his drop rate considering we only killed him a few times were as we killed Hume Fomor Rangers for hours and never got anything.

Good luck

I know there is a tower near Misareaux Coast that is a big tower

They seem to be undead mob only popping at nighttime too

I went the other night and with 3xRNG and 1 WHM, we only got one RNG subligar and I lost lot by 30. I was bored yesterday so I went down there and solo'd the Fomor RNG, used 1 x-pot. Wasn't too bad, but did have a tad bit of luck on a parry while casting shadows. Ranged attk him and recast shadows until he runs up, then Piercing Arrow -> EES -> Barrage -> had tp for another WS, but he fell.

oh, and no drop :/

edit: Don't try this unless you are willing to die. :P

What do i need to kill these for Virgo subligar, do i need a party or can a rng lvl 50 solo them.
thx for any input ^-^

My party killed one of these in Phomiuna Aqueducts that dropped Balloon Cloth x2. Used for the new gobbie bag quest. =)

I came upon a PT (cause that's basically what they are... PTs of Fomor that hunt real PTs) of Fomori while I was out hunting them, that was Fomor Thief, and two Fomor Rangers. Decided that most Ranger mobs have ****** ranged accuracy, I'd sneak attack the thief first. To my surprise, SE actually made these varied. The Thief used a sword, and one ranger, which was Elvaan, used a bow, and the other ranger, a Hume, used a gun.

The Thief used a TP attack called Dancing Chains, which gave me an uber Drown effect (taking 20-25 hp per tick), the Elvaan Ranger used Netherspikes, which missed, so Idunno what it does, and the Hume Ranger used Barbed Crescent, which did very little damage (19), but gave me an Accuracy Down.

All in all, due to the Dancing Chains effect, I was left with 130/1012 HP after the fight with the three, but that was mostly because I was typing and taking screenshots during the fight, instead of keeping utsusemi up.

Also, from earlier fights with Fomori, I know they have a TP attack called Carnal Nightmare, that is AoE, and drains everyone's TP to 0. Not fun.

Fomori are probably my favorite mob family now. Go go Chains of Promathia!

You would figure he would have better armor than Lizard Armor ;\

hmm looks like a taru took the pick lol look from where he looks at the mob

Lemme get this straight, the Fomor RNG is a hume...the Fomor RDM is a Mithra...

Did the people at Brady games come up with this set of mobs or what? Not that humes make bad RNG's, but mithra are certainly better if you were going for the ideal race choice, and the same is true of the Hume RDM.

Sorry, just had that thought, and SE makes my mind hurt.

-Mith

And thus the Ranger turned on the newb who has been asking for gil every 5 minutes and said OH MY GOD, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!
