Friend who has Sibilus at Lv.99 has none of the gaze abilities (even with HNM rank, not that it does anything aside allow more instincts to be set anyway)

80% moon no change in Gnole. Still just +10 Regen at night.

Safe to say Gnoles are almost immune to BLM sleep also.

Ah that's a shame about Grim Glower, I guess I'll try Antlion to 99 and see what's what.

Gnole with Full Moon is +20 Regen. Gnoles seem to be one hell of a beefy pick for fighting lol.

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.

As far as i know all TP moves are in the .dats, Could just check em. I think BG did but i forgot where :|

Decided to give gnole a try, did not realize it was this... slow. o__o Even with Tiger III this thing moves like the lunch line at a nursery home. ; ; Are normal gnoles this slow?!

Also--does anyone know if gnole stances affect damage resistances like wamouracampa?

It gets an Attack boost (its very large) when on all 4s but only 1 attack per round rather then the 2 like standing. Also I believe Martial Arts traits do not apply to all 4s stance.

Movement speed is just 100%. It's mostly due to the fact tigers and couerl have huge movement speed boosts that it seems slow as hell.

Once you hit 45 lvling hits a speed boost like no tomorrow with Mass pull > Cacophony > Counterstance > Switch to All 4s > wait for them to die > wait 5m and repeat currently you can get 1+ lvl per pull this way on correct targets.

Remember at 50%+ Moon at night Gnoles gain large Regen boosts. At a full moon it reaches 20 regen a tic w/o spells or instincts added making them a juggernaut.

Hahah seriously, this is 100%? XD I guess I haven't played without movement speed in quite awhile!

Thanks for the xp advice. :) I'm trying to build up some infamy by leveling in Belligerency zones--hope that can work for a decent amount of time in Xarcabard lol

The Gigas in the upper east side of Xard can be aggro are good till about 48/49 Then do the Demons near the Castle till about 52ish then you can either leave or keep going on the demons near the Range zone watch out for the Duke though. His respawn was lowered last patch and hits like a truck for his lvl with En-drain. Always check the zone before doing chain pulls though as you can get low doing the chain pulls allowing for some sneaky Glads to gank you.

Sneaky glads! I actually haven't seen any, sneaky or otherwise. XD It's kind of unfortunate that grinding EP mobs is the only other source of infamy. :(

Edit: noticing a possible bug with gnole. It seems that Focus cannot be applied while the Haste and Counterstance buffs from Cacophony are in effect. If I use Focus before Cacophony, there is no issue. If I use it after, nothing happens. Anyone else notice this?

Blah, Roc can only have one song active...

Still, it has White Magic spells and by the looks of it some pretty decent TP moves.

Blind Vortex and Giga Scream hit pretty hard.

Fenetic Flurry 150tp decent dmg, could prolly be better as i level loving it so far.
you get the spriggin fetish item by having won the cloak and rod from the moogle next to the spriggin npc, should get a small cs about how its grown attached to it, then trade it one of each element of crystal.

Awesome! Getting to 25k infamy just killing mobs in Bubu for 100exp/10ish infamy is painful... not like 200exp will make much of a difference but oh well.

I'd recommend including Buburimu/Xarcabard/Uleguerand in your leveling track for low level mobs. It's really the only reasonable way to get Infamy. :<

I enter Buburimu at level 10 with HNM status and stay there untl about 24. Then I drop Belligerency and head to Qufim until 30 or so, followed by Beaucedine until 38. 38 to 50 in Xarcabard with Belligerency before moving elsewhere.

The 10-24 and 38-50 stretches will get you a lot of Infamy. You just need to /sea the zone every so often to make sure no gladiators are around to take advantage of your low level.

Thanks for the tip. I usually do Bubu and Xarcabard, not much Uleguerand. With the double exp now I should take care of that easily. I just want to upgrade my Cerberus to Orthrus so tired of bubu
