Ixion is come! (and so is Sandworm!)

After a few hours of camping the various zones across Vana'diels past, Dark Ixion spawned in Jugner Forest [S]. I was with my NPC in West Sarutabaruta [S] at the time, but still, NMs > Everything else in this shell so off I ran to the Outpost. Thing is, Dark Ixion depopped about 30 seconds later! So back to levelling my NPC for half an hour.... when IXION POP was heard in the LS. This time we had claim so we all dashed to East Ronfaure [S] where the shell members there were kiting while we set up.

Now the most annoying thing about this fight is not being able to see his HP or Health percent even if you have TParty running through Windower, but I found a way of viewing it anyways so not too much of an issue. The only way to get to view his HP is if you break his horn, which so far I havent seen us do. Anyways Zolo was tanking like a champion as the healing brigade kept him alive. The fight is really really slow and because he can use a move called Damsel Memento which heals him for about 5-8%, its even slower still.

So the battle raged, people gathered and we were on top form with it! Trouble is.... SANDWORM POP in the shell now too! Ixion is down to about 50% and our other little baby is wandering about in Batallia Downs [S] just waiting to be beaten on! Anyways, I get an annoying DC because I accidentally kick my internet cable out of the socket, but I come back and Ixion is around 20%. After about another 20 mins Ixion drops dead and drops the cape and the cloak plus his horn and tail (which are 100%). Tsingtao got the cloak (srsly, grats man!) and Zolo got the cape! (grats to you too man!). Rewards for the hard workers, im gonna be killing that bitch alot till my cape and cloak drops :(

Onto Sandworm now, this mob is a funny one, he can absorb all the Job Abilities and buffs of the people standing close to him, and as if thats not bad enough, at around 20% he will use an ability which warps everyone to an instanced zone for 60 minutes to fight either King Arthro, Serket, Guivre or some Worm thing! AND THEY ALL HYPER GOD MODE PLUS ALPHA! I wasnt able to go with them tho as they needed more BLM :( but they got there to be met with King Arthro and his crabs. Not sure what dropped and who got what but hey, its all fun in HNMLS's!
