Just had a quick look over some of the past area dats and Auroral Alicorn is in them. Those I checked include: [[Sauromugue Champaign (S)]], [[Rolanberry Fields (S)]] and even [[The Eldieme Necropolis (S)]]. Its behaviour and lack of horn lead me to believe that it stays in [[Jugner Forest (S)]] until is is "recruited" as a Freelance, at which point it will (possibly) regain its horn and help in battles. -- [[User:Aequis|Aequis]] 17:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Revision as of 17:06, 9 September 2008

How do you know it's indeed an HNM like Dark Ixion and not a friendly? --Melios 22:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Its only just been found after today's update, so I placed it as a monster NM vs. NPC or normal monster. Unfortunately the person who found Auroral Alicorn did not post if he/she could /check it, and see if it check as "Impossible to Gauge" or not. It displays behavior similar to [[Dark Ixion], regarding its actions when a campaign battle starts. Also, people cannot engage it, but they can however trade it and cast Cure spells on it. When Curing magic is cast on it, the message "The creature whinnies contentedly." appears on the screen. I'm in the process of adding the little information available, to the creature's page. --AledaciaTalk 22:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Update- sometimes depops when Campaign Battle starts, instead of running away. Is not tradable, at this time. Does not have a horn. At least, hasn't been seen with a horn as of yet. Current speculations is its either a new freelance, new NM, or possibly our first look at a new Avatar. Personally, I find it similar to the Dark Rider that appears in ToAU areas. --AledaciaTalk 23:05, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Haha! I found the .dat information for the new scholar freelance. Here is what he has to say on Auroral Alicorn. "Current taxonomy teaches us that at presentaru, the monoceros family contains few known specimens. Those that are classified exhibit great horn spire-wires jutting from their majestic heads, and are either born of light, or of darkness. An influx of eyewitness accounts in recent days all point to the undeniable existence of the beastaru named Dark Ixion. Tempered like a storm and every wary, both allies and beastmen alike tend to keep their distance. The other is dubbed Auroral Alicorn, and exhibits a brilliantaru shade of white and a calm, gentle demeanor. The two couldn't be more dissimilar-wimilar. Though almost never seen in the wild prior to the war, Auroral Alicorn has recently been sighted in Jugner Forest, some say nursing wounds." I can take that to mean it'll only spawn in Jugner. Also, given the spot it appears in, it seems it's a freelancer... --Urth 23:36, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Most guesses on Blue Gartr Forums also imply its a Freelancer. It seems to clash with the fact it runs away from Campaign Battles. Giving rise to this theory: Horn must be repaired in order for it to stay... Or will flee if not allied. --AledaciaTalk 23:50, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Changed the page to an NPC page. Having issues with the category tag...it won't work for me even though I'm using the correct one. Also! Since Freelance NPC's are "influenced", I am guessing that Auroral ALicorn is influenced by Cures, since no one can seem to do anything else to it. --AledaciaTalk 00:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


Hmmm... it's just a theory, but has someone tried to trade a Dark Ixion Horn to it? --Demii-chan 09:26, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Confirmed that nothing happens when trading the horn to it, same with throwing Stygian Ash or trying both at the same time --Vasante 09:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Locations

Just had a quick look over some of the past area dats and Auroral Alicorn is in them. Those I checked include: Sauromugue Champaign (S), Rolanberry Fields (S) and even The Eldieme Necropolis (S). Its behaviour and lack of horn lead me to believe that it stays in Jugner Forest (S) until is is "recruited" as a Freelance, at which point it will (possibly) regain its horn and help in battles. -- Aequis 17:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
