Goblin Alchemist Picture

Although Goblins are poor at human methods of alchemy, they have developed their own style through the use of magic. Through their research, Goblin knowledge of medicines has surpassed that of the humans.

Some/all of the information in this article has been culled from various FFXI guides, and translated by Elmer the Pointy.

Doesn't pursue scent...

Just to clarify, Gobs agro sight and pursue sight and not scent. Otherwise Hide would not work with them, which it does.

One day I was just hanging around Jeuno as my 63whm and found out some people in my LS were at gustav, so I asked if I could come along and hunt for my testimony - they said sure... so I got myself geared up and went.

And... on the second alchemist...

"You find a White Mage's Testimony on the Goblin Alchemist"

So needless to say, I got my testimony very quick ^^ We had no THF either so it was just pure luck on that drop.

White Mage's Testimony Drop

I suggest fighting these to get your White Mage's Testimony I't will likely not kill anyone in the pt if you got a lvl 65+ pt with you.
Just get a DRK to stun the bombs its the
Easiest to fight to get the White Mage's Testimony drop might take awhile but if your your help losses Exp helping you, you wont feel to good aspecialy if there your Friends!

I was nose to nose with one of these guys in Cape Teriggan, with Sneak and Invisible cast, and he didn't detect me. He may persue by scent, but probably detects by sight like other Goblins.

I would have to agree on the detection. I've rolled past them at level 57 (a for sure aggro) and haven't been "sniffed" out yet. They detect by sight from what I can tell.

Nothing detects by smell, all it is is their ability to track you down and kill you dead if you get aggrod by it^^;
stealing

Stole a beastcoin from one. A regular beastcoin. Not mithril, not silver and definitely not gold. A beastcoin you make bronze ingots out of.

I thought goblins detect by Sight?

They do; but they pursue with scent.
In other words....
