Also, did anyone else notice that you can get items as Mons now? That's a nice change, imo. Can gets seals and stuff now for the grinding, lol.
Just unlocked Sibilus. It is a WAR/BLM... and it's HUGE! I mean.... HUGE.
You get items? I didnt get items from bees in CNest earlier leveling my Eft. v_v
Yeah, I got some crests and crystals from things I was killing in Uleguerande Range on my Raptor.
Pics of Sibilus incoming with a comparison Peiste Pic, lol.
Edit: Peiste/Sibilus Comparison in size.

I was getting them on my Ram in Buburimu too. Could be because I was in Belligerency.
Thats what I am kinda thinking, but I didn't think Uleg is for Belligerency, so it doesn't match up with that zone, or am I wrong? ;x

Oh I am dumb, I didnt read it on the update really, I kinda just flew through it all, thought it was Glacier and Xar, not Xar and Uleg! ><;
Ok thats probably what it is then!

Does the pink Wamoura get Benumbing Blaze? Sadly, the Sibilus doesn't get the gaze moves. Or at least, I currently don't have access to them.
Hmm, how do I get past the 10000 infamy point? Can this only happen in beliggerency?
Yeah, if your not flagged for PvP, you cant get above 10k.
That sucks..so what are the levels/grinding spots for these areas?
Also 25K for Elasmoth by the way.

Just got Orthrus. It is indeed WAR/BLM like most predicted, and more awesome looking than I remember. Probably my favorite mob model in the game.

Anyway, confirming my peiste is only 50 and do in fact have the ability to purchase sibilus. I'm not sure where you need to be to get Elasmoth/Orthrus, but I can definitely say it is no higher than 75. Same goes for Purbol for Morbol (which only costs 15,000).

I unlocked Elasmoth last night and it has Amnesiac Blast and Ecliptic Meteor as TP moves (120/200TP respectively) and boy do they suck, specially Ecliptic, was doing 720 dmg on a train of EP raptors in U.range(I was lvl 90) and 310 dmg on snolls (expected, they take half dmg to all elements except ice)the bio effect only lasted less than 2 minutes and the paralyze procted decently but then again the mobs were EP. Elasmoth is a DRK/THF and it has dreadspikes so that's cool... Behemoth (and Elasmoth) got Meteor added as a TP move as well, it costs 300TP and takes casting-like time to ready it (15-20 seconds lol). Only tried it once on EPs and did around 1.8k to all mobs.
No cursed armor TP move though, that's a big disappointment, unless it's learned somewhere along the way to 99, but it wouldn't matter since we are caped at lvl 90 for PvM.

So far as TP moves go, I am a bit disappointed with Testudo Tremor, Ferromantoise is a PLD/BLM, Testudo isn't really bad, but its 200% TP and it only does about 1k to DC mobs(I was level 85, they were level 83) and the stun is 1 second long, so while its better than everything else Adamantoise has, I feel like its a bit underwhelming, was hoping for something more like 1.5~ or a stun with some duration.

On the plus side, the /BLM lets Aqua Fortis, Regurgitation, and Calcifying Mist do decent dmg finally since it gets MAB from /BLM. I was hoping for something not /WAR, but /BLM wasn't what I had in mind to be honest. But still, I'll take it over WAR/WAR, lol.

Congrats on Orthrus, and thanks. :) Cerb was gonna be the next big mob I was gonna go for, but I haven't quite motivated myself for the massive amounts of leveling I need to do to get there yet. xD
Anyone know if the Khimaira family is even accessible yet?
I haven't seen any running around and I haven't found any info but the Monstrosity Page on Playonline had pictures that included Khims.
False advertising?

Khimaira is arcana, so no, no Khimaira yet.

Anyone found any Vermin HNM like King Vinegaroon or Hedjedjet? Wondering what's out there.
Learned a few things about Gnoles.
1: Focus and Canophony do not stack.
2: Asuran Claws isn't that great.
3: Chakra has a different mod then a Players. I believe it might still be VIT but the mod itself increases as you lvl.
4: Gnoles get buffs depending on the moon phase. So far only have found +10 Regen. No clue when it kicks in as I just logged in and had it.
5: No Chi Blast.
Edit: More on the Moon phase buffs, they are only in effect at night.

It doesn't really work like that. Its based mostly on Skins.
For instance, Antlion does have Normal Skin/Burrower Skin, but it also has the Skin with the super horn.
For beetle, It has Normal Beetle/Black Beetle as well, But also the skin with the super horn too.
Where as Scorpions are involved, theres 3 Skins i believe. a Normal, a Gold(Scolop), and a Scolop with Spikes.
The aren't really considered HNMs but normal species of the family except different colors and such, while some of them do get their HNM stuff (Black Beetle has Nukes), Its not really like how you're thinking. Though, you could consider these HNM skins and you would not technically be wrong.
There are some "kinda" exceptions, for instance, Lizard/Beast let you have access to Byakko and Genbu through a side quests in Monstrosity, which are just Normal mobs with their God skins/jobs.

Interesting to hear the news about Vermillion Wamoura and the moves it gets Lv90+...
I wonder if the Horned Antlion likewise gets access to Gravitic Horn at Lv90+ and if Sibilus gets Grim Glower too.
Might be worth investigating.
