I don't know if this has happened to anyone yet or if this has been talked about, but I just did an 8 hour EXP PT on Mandragora type mobs in Abyssea - Tahrongi Canyon and when WSing the mobs they gave no ruby light. No message was displayed at all, ever. Many attempts were tried. Pearl/Azure/etc etc were all plentiful but ruby [which I thought was gained from killing a mob with WSs] was never obtained.
Does anyone know anything about this? Thank you for any information and I apologize if this has already been discussed.

Abyssea
You should've seen me one time on blm. With a full allaince I consistently took off 20-50% of the hp off of EVERY mandy we fought.
That's how much afking we had Ramuh.Dasva said: You should've seen me one time on blm. With a full allaince I consistently took off 20-50% of the hp off of EVERY mandy we fought.

Last night, we were killling mandies for ruby light with WSing the mobs, but they didn't give any ruby light, either. I believe only a few monsters can give ruby light, some cannot. Only the way is to obtain ruby lights thru red chests. ;/ @Degeneration
I see, thank you for the swift reply. Can gear swapping cause lights to not show up in log? kinda like SC dmg
I've run into the same on mandragoras, and I don't see gear swaps. I can safely say that I've yet to see a ruby light from a WS kill on them.
Not that I have noticed Neph, I spellcast on my BLM and I've always gotten light messages from killshots.
ok, next time I'm in abyssea I'll pay more attention to the lights.
Right now it appears that each mob has one light you cannot recieve. Mandy is ruby.
Updated the known drops list.
New adds are:

Doing a run now, capped pearlescent and azure within an hour, atm got about 150 mins time remaining and no ruby from ws kills so i believe they don't give ruby.

We got amber once, if memory serves. Was a major pain to get though. No ruby from bats from us either, and we were trying.

I got lazy and never bothered to get the figures from the log on kills/lights/xp/cruor/etc. Ramuh.Krizz said: Phoenix.Darki said: argh okay, you making a blog for all this? I'm hoping he makes a link here. Krizz has always done a fantastic job here, err I mean posting it on the ffxi.wiki I mean. I had a question about Bakka and the Azure Abyssite of Celerity. Has ANYONE obtained this yet? I have yet to meet anyone on my server who has. If anyone with the abyssite could shed some light on this, how they got it, how many attempts it took, etc., it'd be much appreciated.
Ramuh.Krizz said: Right now it appears that each mob has one light you cannot recieve. Mandy is ruby. Tried some off-the-beaten-path EXP alliance mobs last night, partially to look into this. Fought the Gigas in La Theine. They granted azure, ruby, and pearl lights from kills. However, we didn't receive any amber lights. Actually, do any mob types grant amber lights upon kills? When fighting Lycopodiums or the Gigas, I always see silver, gold, and ebon lights from the red chests. Is there a trick to acquiring amber lights? Or is it mob-specific? or just plain blind luck?

I'm not sure if this is what your asking, but you get amber lights either from low tier red chests or magical WS damage as a killshot. Edit: If Krizz's theory proves true, which it has in my experience gigas type mobs may be incapable of giving amber light also.

Thanks Temaruma!
No problem ^^ sorry about the late reply
Yeah, all my XP runs so far have been exactly that: XP runs. I haven't made the call to test amber lights on any mobs to increase gold chest tier yet. Once we're all satisfied with our levels, we'll probably do key item farming while meriting or something.

Spiritual?) would not give amber lights. Good point Temaruma.
Which weapon skills are considered "Magical". I know commonly used sword skills like Atonement and Spirits Within are considered "Spirit" damage ... but does that make them "Magical"? Or is "Magical" a different breed of weapon skill? edit: Are we talking about having to use Freezebite and Tachi: Kagero to activate amber lights? The problem is getting consistent data with chat logs to back it up. People are giving conflicting information about the same mobs and what they used. Chat logs are the only way to look and see if there was a chest opened at the same time a mob died.
If I wasn't being so lazy, I'd go through and make a chart for the ***. I really don't feel like it though. Bismarck.Elanabelle said: Good point Temaruma.

Or is "Magical" a different breed of weapon skill? Spirits Within I haven't heard of working at all. I guess this could give some utility to Infernal Scythe and Aeolian Edge, for killshots for amber lights?

If it uses fstr, weapon base dmg and pdif (attack/def) then it's physical. If it doesn't it's not. Some like kagero are weird and are calculated like physical and do that dmg but then do that much again as magic so who knows |
