Talk:Tonberry Bedeviler

These guys recently appeared in Abyssea - Konschtat some time during early late night/early morning of 7/29/10 - 7/30/10. They are fairly typical Tonberries. One thing that is peculiar was that a 4-6 person group can max out azure and ruby lights extremely quickly on these. I'm not sure if that's a function of how light is divided among the number of members or if these have "bonus" light, but I capped azure light after 15 minutes of killing these in a 6 man group at a rate of about 1 kill per 45-90 seconds.

Also of interest is how their Grudge works. It is certainly not based off of regular Tonberry hate. It does seem that hate is reset in between visits. Our first stay we were getting damage up to 600-900 damage before we left and a return visit's first Grudges weren't breaking 100 damage. What I'm not sure of is if the Grudge hate is based on Tonberry Bedeviler kills alone, or Abyssea mobs as a whole. A friend and LS mate of mine was reporting 1400+ Grudges against him after killing in there for a few hours. I'll check with him what he was doing in there before fixing that note.

Finally, along with these appearing, a ??? appeared at the far northern edge of (K-4) north of where these are found. The ??? asks for a key item Twisted Tonberry Crown. How it's obtained is unknown to me now. Speculation and reading into the pattern of Abyssean NMs, I think that an NM in between the one spawned from this ??? and the general Tonberries has yet to appear. Key items in for spawning NMs in Abyssea are only obtained from lower tier NMs. These guys are unique, though, in that they do drop Abyssites where no other "EXP-able" mob does. So, it's still a mystery to me.--Mooffins 23:55, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
