Talk:Megalobugard

If all this information is no longer valid due to the Update in Aug. ~ Why is it still listed there? Its confusing as hell. Just seems Pointless.... --User:Nynaeve/Sig 14:28, 9 September 2007 (CDT)

I'll make it easy.. just remove it all! New information about possible place holders can be discussed on the talk page now. --Wayka †Talk† 18:03, 9 September 2007 (CDT)

Makes much more sense, I was getting so confused after I read it all then it said it wasn't valid. Mad waste of time y'know. --User:Nynaeve/Sig 18:06, 9 September 2007 (CDT)

So, now 6 months later, i realize I was incorrect in saying that the PH info had changed with the August update (hadn't camped it since then). The prior PH info was correct, but rather than placing it on the main page, I will put it here.

In the Correct area of Lufaise Meadows (G-8/H-8), if you use Widescan and look at your list, you will see 5 distinct group of Gigantobugards inside the larger area (without going through the smaller arteries. The Gigantobugard group will be:

2 Gigantobugards

-stuff-

3 Gigantobugards

-stuff-

2 Gigantobugards

-stuff-

1 Gigantobugard

-stuff-

2 Gigantobugards

"stuff" refers to any combination of the orcs, gigas, and gigas' pets in the spawn region.

Either group 1 (2 bugards), group 2 (3 bugards), or group 4 (1 bugard) will have an extra mob outside of those numbers. The extra mob will always be the bottom one of the group it's in, and will rotate through the 3 potential pop groups. The bottom mob of whichever of those 3 group has an extra is the Placeholder.

The first group spawn to the Northwest of the valley, the 2nd group spawns to the Northwest/West of the valley, and the 4th group is the mob(s) IN the valley (actual pop area).

Megalobugard will ALWAYS pop as the 2nd mob in the 4th group.

Pop time is indeed ~1 hour. I've killed NM, went away for an hour, killed 1 PH, and NM popped next. alternatively, I've continued killing during the time, and the NM will still pop shortly after 1 hour from last death.

I know I added a lot, but hopefully it clears up any confusion my earlier statement may have caused.

• Soloable by a Level 69 THF/NIN with Status Bolts or a 68 NIN/WAR, and also soloable by a 67 DRG, with BLU sub, also easily soloable by a 75 BST/NIN using Courier Carrie.

• Soloable by 75 Blu/Nin with relative ease.

• Easily soloable by 62 BST/NIN using Funguar Familiar and proper DD gear.

• Very Easliy soloable by a DRG75/WHM37, I had about 800/1255 HP at the time that he popped so I grabbed him just so I had claim, I was a bit worried that he would bit a bit harder then the gigantobugards around, but to my surprise for the first 50% of his health he barely hit me, I had to use a healing breath twice just because of my initial health when I first claimed him, was not too worried about death. -- Fyyvoaa 22:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

bottom valley

been farming megalobugard for past few days killing it non-stop, followed what people say about where the PH is. Now today one Gigantobugard popped in the valley and then megalo popped, which is fine except while fighting the NM a second giganto popped in the valley. this worried me so i cleared those two after the NM and sure enough 3 gigantobugards spawned in the bottom valley at the five minute timer. i thought there was one there and if second, the second was the PH
