- Our unprepared group was able to take down Amphiptere in about 15 minutes. 7 BLUs, 4 deaths (once again, due to being unprepared for the aggro).
Dont know how to edit the page correct, so will post my info here.
NOTORIUOS MONSTER Is a flying monster, unable to target when flying. Aggros through sneak/invis. Hit a 75 DNC/NIN in decent gear for 250hp+ per hit. Was hitting it for ~25hp per dagger swing. Found it at J-9
Feel free to put this info on front page.

Think I have a good tactic for this mob. Drag it to one of the towers, where Pso'Xa is in the present. Back everyone against the bottom, and fight away.
Does a few nasty moves, "Reaving Wind" reduces TP to 0........."Storm Wing" which gives him a AoE Knockback to all in range (Does NOT interupt spells!)........."Blood Beak" AoE Drain (pretty heavy too, 300+HP from each of us). Had our PLD not moved him out of that enclosed space, would have been an easy (if long) win.Themutznutz 06:47, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
-Just killed with alliance of 12 people aprox. 15min no drops and 99 exp.
- Two well geared 75 BLU and a 75 WHM took it down to 65% HP and then we ran out of MP as we engaged with the plan of dying as it was just going to be fun. I (WHM) was shocked we did so well. AeonovaEsdain of Kujata
Added a verification tag to regen, I kited two of the greater ones in Xarc for nearly an hour each and was fairly certain they had no regen, but since I was using dot for the most part I guess I can't be 100% (even though there were long stretches where poison wore off and I had to get a long way ahead of it to reapply shadows/cure myself before re-applying it) --Blazza 17:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Definitely no regen, pulled this by doing 34 damage, then kited for 2-3 minutes without doing anything else to it and it stayed at 99% the whole time. --Blazza 09:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Spent about 2 hours up there monday, in that time serveral popped. Really easy fight with 5 of us. No drops each time. ----
drops
they just killed this on Phoenix about 30 mins ago, said all they got was some kind of hide. sure it drops more than that, but we have to wait ;; --Maximusdecimus 00:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Only got a Wind Crystal, but hopefully it drops something useful.
Testimonies
- Best counter to Reaving Wind is to have the tanking member kite until it stops. Tried various methods of Dispel, Bind, etc. and nothing seems to remove it.
- Taken down with minor trouble by 4 Blue Mages.
- Taken down with nearly no Trouble 2x SMN and got 300 Limit Points each. 1x SMN Kite with Carbuncle at Entry Beaucine R and the other SMN used Diabolos Nether Blast and zoned to rest MP.
Type of Mob
Can this really be considered a Notorious Monster in this family? This family seems to make the differences between a NM and a standard mob of the family a bit ambiguous. --Lilcata
