Blitz Buffalo

Did you enjoy the Sunbreeze Festival, kupo? We expected it to bring cool breezes to Vana'diel, but somehow it's as hot as ever. But I have good news, kupo! The M.H.M.U. has come up with yet another cool festival to beat the heat--"Blitz Buffalo"! You all know about buffalos, right? They're big, black beasts that inhabit the Uleguerand Range. We moogles were able to move them to areas outside of several nations using special magic, kupo! Eh? Did you just grumble something about "troublemakers"? That word isn't in our moogle vocabulary, kupo. Anyway, now is your time to shine, adventurers! Chase down the buffalos and snag the red sashes from their horns! Let the Beastmen bask in the wisdom and courage of the nations, kupo! However...take care, kupo. The buffalos have grown rather upset watching the red sashes swaying from their horns. Sometimes you may start running after a buffalo, only to end up being the one chased! You wouldn't want to be sent flying into the clouds, would you? On the other hand, the breeze up there might be rather refreshing...if you live to enjoy it, kupo... So, do you have enough courage to provoke one of the giant beasts? What's that? "It sounds extremely dangerous"? Don't worry--you'll be fine! Live for the moment, right, kupo? Live on the edge...kupo... Actually, we moogles gave the event a trial run ourselves and had a blast! The sweat around our ears and the pounding of our chests during the hunt... It was a real rush, kupo! Facing the blood-chilling glare of the buffalo...knowing what must be done... Ohhh, it makes me shiver just thinking about it, kupo! That relieved gasp of freedom after barely escaping a buffalo's enraged charge...then turning back to seize the chance... I...I just can't take this anticipation, kupo! Um, anyway! J-just make sure to participate! Well then... Until next time, kupo!!! [Event Details] This event is scheduled to commence on August 25, 2005 at 17:00, and will last until September 5, 2005 at 0:00 (PDT). [Event Locations] - Southern San d'Oria - Northern San d'Oria - Bastok Mines - Bastok Markets - Windurst Waters - Windurst Woods

Toro

Ok, this is how it is. If u see it attack! But if ur Hp is way away from where u encounter it dont bother :) I fought it in Sth Gusta. alone then with alliance. It uses a blowback/warp attack that will place u in any area within ur HP (i.e HP in Bastok u could end up in markets, ports or mines)
it does NO damage! Huge life on it. limited time & number of ppl can get sash from ??? after it dies. No idea on how to get +1 sash as of yet.. It appears to pop randomly in a few diff places. In Sth Gusta it popped at H8/H7 on Vomp hill & down near fire pit, also L9 near lighthouse. Rare ex item, if anyone has info on what it is for pls drop a thread :) hope this helps :)

^^ I'm pretty sure I've figured out a part of this...
To keep from being punted back to your home point, just face away from the buffalo when it attacks you. Careful -- It'll turn you around a little bit each time.. Also, it might swerve around in front of you so you'll need to move.

:::::NOTE:::::
I'm not sure about this being 100% accurate, but it worked for me several times when I tested it... I was lagging so I can't be sure if I was really facing away from it or not. Further testing would be apprechiated.

It sounds as though the moogles are not involved in this. Do you need to talk to a moogle first? After perhaps? At all??

Nope. I saw it before I saw a Moogle, and started attacking it since everyone else was.

It does send you back to the city where in your HP is located. It will not send you straight to exact HP but in the area. I had HP in jueno got sent to jeuno. Changed my HP to sandy and bam always booted back to south sandy. You can physically damage it without magic. Bst and SMN have it easier in this if they sub thf and flee after sending a pet in. During one outing i did 2k+ damage to the Toro without even pullin out my axe. I'm still workin on how you get +1 version of sash.

well i guess it's just a wierd that when i changed my hp from jueno to sandy that i didn't get booted back to any other city but sandoria and same for everyone else in my party of 6 I'd ask your friend to double check on his HP ;) no one so far has been booted to beyond their HP area in my alliance or LS.

Considering that the guy who said it WASN'T his HP didn't seem to be right on much, I'm willing to guess he may have not known his HP was in Bastok after all. <3 So you're probably right.

Sorry, but homepoint was in port jeuno and i got sent all over the place. I was hit a couple times in the back and not warped anywhere. I don't know if the same holds true for the front.

A friend of mine was HPed in Bastok and sent to Jeuno. :3 So it doesn't seem to HP you. It just throws you off wherever it feels like it.
+1?

I got a red sash on my first try! When the Toro dies, it leaves a ??? mark behind. Click it quickly! I think there's a limit to how many people can get the reward item.

I'll keep trying for the +1 version. :D

Could you share how you fought it? ^_^ Like, magic, pure damage, your level and job... it would help. ^_^
RE: Red sash! Woo!
# Aug 26 2005 at 12:37 AM Rating: Decent
ok I have killed three now and it seems everything hurts it as a 71rng/nin I was doing 2200 per slug shot. It seems to take close to a 1/4hp so I would guess around 8-9k hp. From my experience it can send you to the closest city or to you HP. My first time fighting it I had hp in jeuno and it warped me to bastok thent he next time to jeuno. Be really careful on the kill shot, if you kill it as it hits you and get warped you can not get the sash(personal experience and a lost eagle eye shot).

I was just fighting a notorious monster in Rolanberry Fields called Toro. It can be fought by anyone (you don't need to be in a party) and it does no damage to anyone. It only uses a blow-back move that eventually lands you in sandy, windy, or bastok. O.O No joke, some people fighting with me sent me a /tell and didn't know what happened. It is only damaged by magic and has a TON of hp. Does anyone have any other info yet?

# Aug 25 2005 at 7:39 PM Rating: Decent

You guys do realize that this is an event and as such...everyone will be able to do it.

The buffalo will not be the same level as the ones in the UR. They'll be special event mobs so everyone can do the event.

Now to see what the rewards are....^_^
