I only recently started playing FFXIV again, so I haven't had a lot of time to fight the various Notorious Monsters (NM) roaming Eorzea. Not yet, anyway.

The two I do have experience with, however, are Pyrausta and Queen Bolete.

I want the Howling Talons from Pyrausta, but am an unfortunate 0/20+. I don't think I will be trying again any time soon.

I was much more lucky getting Eternal Shade from Queen Bolete, however. It only took four attempts!

Next on the list... Venerer's Bracers, Kokoroon's Nestpicker, etc.

:onion63:

How about you? What kind of success/experiences have you had with the various NM thus far?

Speaking of Daddy Longlegs, I killed him three times by myself, once with Dracorian. I got Elmlord's Tusk to drop on my fourth attempt (solo), so that was a 1/4 drop rate (25%).

I also soloed Bardi in the Nanawa Mines and got Divining Hat to drop on about my fourth attempt, so that was also a 1/4 drop rate (25%).

I have killed Bomb Baron in Cassiopeia Hollow more than a dozen times and have yet to get Frostbite to drop, so I have given up for the time being (it's not something I need all that badly). Let's just estimate my lack of success at 0/12.

I killed Nest Commander about eight times before getting Nighthawk Visor to drop, so about a 1/8 drop rate (13%).

With the help of Dracorian, Eliza, and Inaaca, I was able to get the Bow of Owls from Jackanapes. :D
