Abyssea Light Boost

In Abyssea Misareaux, when you get an azure kill off of an Ephemeral Murex you get like 128 azure lights just off of that mob. I was wondering if there are more methods like this is other zones and not just Misareaux.

I've seen that happen before multiple times. I like it's just a low chance that that happens.

This info has been out for a WHILE... Ephemeral mobs, give enhanced light, and so do T1 VNMs in that zone... Ephems I think give (x5) and T1 VNM give (i think) x10

Since they allowed you to check your lights they give on average 16 lights, whereas the normal mobs give around 9.

128 azure murex are pretty standard in Abys-Mis. I think it has to do with participants in bastion although there may be another yet unknown cause.

To put the OP's question into perspective, I've not seen a 128 azure murex in attohwa or altep, so there is definitely something unique about the ones in mis.

I've never seen it happen more than once in one sitting tho. Normally after getting one worth 128Azure, the following ones are the normal 16 until getting capped.

I've also seen Murex in the Inlet give 32 from 0 to 255. The same one just repopping every 2-3 mins it seemed.

Well idk if im just lucky but everytime i killed a murex in Mis coast i always got 128, i just never get anything above 20 in any other zone

Jala gives 128 amber in that zone as well.

As for this, i've never seen it not happen. Just finished a Kannagi and we used it to instantly cap lights each time we were there.

I'm with Quipto on this. I've always had these mobs give 128 of a certain light. We usually just tag two Murex and two Jala and then farm for KIs.

Jala - 128 Amber
Ephemeral Murex - 128 Azure
Ephemeral Amoeban - 128 Ruby

would you guys happen to know any other zone besides Mis.Coast?

clionid/murex = azure

limule/amoeban = ruby

avatars = amber

staple pattern across all vision/scars zones, bar chasm where lights are gimped universally (but happens to also be the easiest zone to be perpetuated in)

thank you i guess

Think I got 128 off Ephs in Vunk as well. Rock Murex camps.. VCF #2 area.. was farming Dnc boots yesterday night.

Depends on the size of the ephemeral. If they're large you will usually get 128 lights. The smaller forms will only give 16. There are sizes in between as well. They seem to get larger the more you kill them (or possibly the mobs that they spawn within?). I noticed this specifically in the highlands when I was doing khalamari trial for sword. The eph clionid always started out small and then finally grew to its largest form where it remained for the duration of my stay. The attohwa ephemerals are definitely strange. I'm not sure why they never seem to "grow" but you'll notice that they are all in the smallest state possible.

How long does it usually take for an ephemeral to "grow?"

Right after the update before last (the one they put guk ki in gold chests) I joined a Sobek spam run. I azure killed an e.murex and it capped us at 255 instantly. So, I got to sit back and collect the cruor as they commenced to cleaving for ki's. ^^b

damn Abyssea is *** confusing

i got my -6% phys dark ring specifically from capping amber off two pavans

basically, the amount of light per can vary, with it seemingly being dependant on the visual size of the target; xbox-huge clionids always give 128 azure when you azure kill them, but then the smallest ones'll only give 32 or so, as an example

and...?

standerd mobs are worth 5 point. and T1's are worth 8.

murex and avatars can give anywhere from 8/16 - 128/255. Tho personaly iv always received on the lower end unfortionitly.
