Deadeyes



Deep within the shadows of the Black Shroud lurks a wolf so fearsome, so terrifying, so unnatural, that local villagers have little choice but to cower in their homes, lest they become his next victim. Legends call the beast Deadeyes, and he is unlike any creature the forest has ever seen. As alpha male, he exhibits the cunning and composure of an army general while leading his pack of slavering minions through the region, showing mo mercy to those unfortunate enough to fall in their path. There has been many a proud hunter boast he will be the one to finally capture Deadeyes, but as of yet, none have survived to fulfill that claim...

  Recently, there have been numerous reports of a pack of bloodthirsty wolves attacking farmsteads deep within in the Black Shroud. According to eyewitness accounts, the pack is led by a ferocious alpha male with glowing red eyes, and the attacks have been conducted with a military-like precision unlike anything ever seen in the wild. The Brotherhood of the Broken Blade is calling upon its loyal brothers and sisters to join in the patrolling of frequently attacked areas, not only in order to protect the lives of those living there, but also to determine once and for all who is truly behind these assaults.

Those who are successful in slaying Deadeyes will be rewarded with a special item known as an Allagan runestone. There are a dozen in all, each representing one of the twelve deities who watch over the peoples of Eorzea. Rumor has that in Ul'dah resides a young trader who seeks these rare stones and is offering pieces of finely crafted equipment in exchange.

The following is an example of some of the items available for barter:

Anyone who thinks the putting in world NM's is a good idea has taken far too many hits to the head in recent years, forcing them to forget the wonderful years wasted in ffxi

Ulgokiem sounds like the name of an anal STD. Why anyone even listens to that douche bag is beyond me.

i love how half of this thread is about racism in america and the other half is pictures of kittens

I kind of want to see king-like competitions since I never got to experience that, but I know how horrible it was the one time I got to go to one.

if it weren't for the fact that JP won every pull, presumably due to latency, then NMs like the land kings would be fun. lesser camped NMs that you find randomly spawned in the wilderness were super fun though.

Also, give said monsters a huge spawn radius so it can appear basically anywhere in the zone, and completely erratic repop times so camping the thing reliably is nearly impossible.

As a funny side note, I killed fafnir in a pld/rdm/brd trio the other day.
