It fell (this will make sense to, oh, one person on my flist)

[pez]

Wanted a change from doing guild tasks and suddenly remembered I had not yet beaten The Fallen. So off I went. Got it to flashing red after 4 turns, but then it animalculed me and messed up my groove*, so I didn't kill it until the 9th turn. Ah well. Didn't use any WA, so at least I can still be fairly proud?

Why are rockgrater tails so hard to find? They shouldn't be that rare. And don't even get me started on the butterfly liver...

Rush: Hey, what do you want for your birthday?
David: Could I have a butterfly liver?

orz I spent so much time trying to get it. Even the rare butterfly mob doesn't want to drop/split. And David keeps asking for it.

Can't seem to spawn dragons anymore. Is my BR too high? I need dragon liver and inverted dragon scales. This is going to be very annoying...

Had to kill Jurupari 3 times before I got it to split dwarven core. But now I have it and have advanced customisations. Will farm for excellent tatarachi materials. (Swordflash!)

Currently crafting a soulshield for Rush. I really want to see a shield WA.

Wyngale. There is something very wrong with Wyngale. I'm a bit disturbed. He's feeling good today and wants to fight, to feel the sweet resistence of flesh and armour, he said. >> I'm going to put all my sovanis in one union and see what'll happen. *collected them all like pokemons*

I bet Torgal is married. To a woman who is an even better fighter than he is (which means she's omgwtfamazing seeing as Torgal is my best DD). She's just more sovani-like than he is and doesn't mingle much. Except during big Athlum events that requires attendees to bring their partners. David's birthday ball or something. XDDDD I also bet she is very hot.

* "His groove, the rhythm in which he lives his life, his pattern of behavior! I threw it off, and Dave had me thrown out the window..."

Still no butterfly liver. I'm going to cry. I killed Swallowtail at Berechetavelle at least 50 times and even though it's a rare it still refused to drop the liver.

For Harpylias it's better to get them at 7th Path, btw. They should spawn at 3rd Path but they don't spawn if other rares spawn and somehow, towards the end of the game, rares at 3rd Path keep spawning. orz

I think I love Wyngale. XD

The elusive butterfly liver is supposedly obtained from Greater Echindnamoths. I have been to Darken several times with Echidnamoths, and I have created a link of 9 (the most I think you can do in there with the stupid moths). They only ever drop butterfly eyes and/or dust. The liver does not exist (I, too, have hunted two or three different moth rares to no luck with the liver).

I did end up getting Harpylias in the 3rd path. They were even nice enough to drop their hides.

I've been trying to spawn freakin' Nightingale in Fornstrand; I haven't had a singe rare in there since I killed Eldritch Dragon... Isn't the opposite supposed to be true?

Oh, and the Abelisk question. I got them to Spawn in GSS and linked a bunch together (I got super lucky with a charm aura - and to think I thought that stuff was bad back in the day). They drop war dragon talons and something else that is extremely common. I need to kill The Lost so I can get the dragons back at SWR... only The Lost is beyond me right now.

I, too, love Wyngale? Did you ever recruit Gaou or Zolean? I wanted to see if they would converse with me (they did!), and Gaou takes the Obsidian; that's going to pay off when the WA pops up.

The rare monster FAQ said Swallowtail drops too, and since I got fed up with Echindnamoths I thought I'd give Swallowtail a try... or 50 tries. I would just let Dave eventually upgrade on his own but he already took 8 jewel steels so I want to try anyway.

Nightingale spawned for me the first time I went to Fornstrand! Also got the Hairy Crab at the end of the area (rare but not guild task). Nothing else has spawned so far though.

Keep hearing about The Lost... need to look it up.

I've got Gaou recruited but never talked to him. Where is he?

The rare monster FAQ - are you talking about the one on GAMEFAQS. That thing has only been correct about half the time. Like Nordri? It turns out that he can spawn in 3 (confirmed) rooms of Aveclyff and there are no set conditions so you have to check every room every time. I hate Aveclyff right now.

Gaou, after you recruit him, ends up in the back left corner of the pub in Baluuk. I'm of the opinion that he and Zolean (Zolean comes with gigantor katana) were meant to have side quests but got left out in the time crunch (along with a few others like Glenys say things after their final quests that imply further quests). Maybe the PC version will answer that...

The Lost is The Fallen on speed. I need a dungeon called the Ancient Ruins II because I don't think the Ancient Ruins will cut it. I think I'd have better luck with the Enlightened Conqueror only I haven't found him (or the 7) yet. I'm about to go bandit hunting in Mojcado Castle because I read that if you build a huge chain then draw out the bandit fight that you get large stat raises... I'll see if it works, at any rate.
