Welcome, welcome everyone to another n00bish post from yours truely.
In todays episode I will be asking the 'probably' obvious question, are there NM's in Everquest 2?
Now by NMs I mean: Notorious Monster, who spawn at different times, (generally 1-2hr spawns), who are a bit tougher than their surrounding family mobs (meaning a badger, tougher than the other badgers right around it), and who drop lovely..very good...yummy...great items.
They will generally looks EXACTLY the same as the same mobs around it but are sometimes bigger, like a significant difference to where you can spot from a distance.
Now reason I am asking this is because last night while playing, I was doing this 'kill 5 hawk thing' for someone in Elddar (sp) and I saw this 'aggroed' type badger that I had never seen before in this area. (RIGHT as you begin to decend down into Forest Ruins), now with my natural NM hunting instinct from FFXI I immediately went after it. It was green, had that shady outline around the name meaning it was an aggro mob, it had 2 arrows in it, not sure if they were down or up.
Either way, we went at it, he was a lot tougher than the other badgers, his name was also alittle different, said something like Ridge Badger or something with an R in it. I killed him and a chest popped. I disarmed it and got a Bloodstained ...something, it was a shield none the less.
The stats on this thing are REALLY amazing. Like +2 AGI +2 WIS +6 HEALTH and like +3 power or something along those lines, plus the shield defense was like 10.
I was truely amazed at this seeing as how n00bish I am.
That's the reason why I'm asking.
