Thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the first event celebrating one year of DRAGON QUEST X Online, the official release of FINAL FANTASY XI: A Realm Reborn, and eleven years of FINAL FANTASY XI, we are pleased to bring you the second entry in this collaborative event!


  • Event Period
Tuesday, March 18, 2013, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Wednesday, April 9 at 7:00 a.m.

--------------------------------

  • DRAGON QUEST X ONLINE
The wandering sage Horro has once again boarded the Astoltia Ark to set sail for Vana'diel, where he hopes to buy ever more of its delectable treats. This time, the slimes made sure to get permission before boarding, but their cousins—the she-slimes and metal slimes—have snuck onboard too...

Slimes can only be caught after adventurers get gooed-up with magic cast by friendly slimes located in the following areas:

Players will also be able to acquire metal slime and she-slime spirits by fulfilling certain conditions.
Once acquired, trading one of these items to Suibhne in the Feretory while possessing a slime will enable the player to unlock the relevant type of slime.

  • FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn
Despite the moogles' best efforts to contain the spriggan threat, the long-eared beasties' cousins have now come to Vana'diel as well! Are they friend...or foe?

  • Event Details
1) Talk to one of the moogles in the following areas:
Southern San d'Oria (G-9) / Port Bastok (K-7) / Windurst Waters (F-9)
Screenshot


2) Catch spriggans infesting Vana'dielian wildlands!
Only those under the effects of mysterious moogle magic cast by moogles in the following areas are able to capture spriggans.
West Ronfaure (I-6) / North Gustaberg (L-8) / West Sarutabaruta (J-8)
Screenshot


When under the effects of the moogles' incantations, players will be able to clash with and capture the spriggans, thus receiving chartreuse, vermillion, or mauve stone shards.

* Players' levels will be reduced to one while under the effects of the slime magic.
* Players will be unable to attack or receive attacks from other monsters for the duration.


3) Speak to the moogle who started the event to participate in a mini lottery for special prizes using your chartreuse, vermillion, and mauve stone shards.

First prize: one item from the following list:
Purple Spriggan Coat / Red Spriggan Coat

Second prize: one item from the following list:
Purple Spriggan Club / Red Spriggan Club

Third prize: one item from the following list:
Green Spriggan Coat / Green Spriggan Club

Booby prize: one item from the following list:
Purple Spriggan Lolli / Red Spriggan Lolly / Green Spriggan Lolly / Spriggan Spark


* About the lottery
The odds of receiving higher tier prizes vary with the color of stone shard used. Mauve stone shards provide the best odds, followed by vermillion, and then chartreuse.


Furthermore, receiving third prize or the booby prize increases the odds of your next spin of the wheel resulting in first or second prize. These odds will reset when you receive either of the two higher tier prizes.

Players will also be able to acquire red and purple spriggan spirits and spriggan festishes by fulfilling certain conditions.
Once acquired, trading a spriggan fetish to Suibhne in the Feretory will enable players to possess spriggans. Further, trading a purple or red spriggan spirit to Suibhne while possessing a spriggan will enable the player to unlock the relevant type of spriggan.

* Spriggans can be unlocked by trading the slime spirit to Suibhne regardless of what type of monster the player is currently possessing.
* Unlocking a spriggan will not cause the currently possessed monster to lose any experience.

It's too bad the blue slime was no fun to play in monstrosity - it really killed my desire to get the spriggan and will undermine my interest in this event. That said I do want the spriggan costume so will do that... although it looks like the hat is unavailable? or is it just a one piece costume?

Is this going to be a recurring thing? Every few months we get new slimes?

If that's the case, I suppose it's good news for slime fetishists.

While the she-slime is nothing particularly special, the metal slime (as a foe) actually does behave like how it typically does in the DQ series. Only 4 HP, very good evasion, all hits against it do 1 damage (unless you get a critical hit), and it possibly has an innate Magic Shield effect (Dia was completely resisted and had no effect). And as you would expect, it's a lot quicker to run than the other slimes. The Chocobo Shirt probably helps a lot with landing hits on it, if you happen to have one laying around somewhere.

I hopped onto the metal slime form as a monipulator as well, and it also has similarly low HP (1 at level 1, 40 something at level 30 though). Did not actually get to play with it yet though to see if its defenses are similar, although I imagine they'd have to be in order to be playable at all with HP values like that.

Metal slime in monstrosity is also a mage. It can more or less shrug off magic attacks, and with its low HP, a single drain can top you off. I was reading elsewhere that they have an extra boost when setting defensive instincts, gaining an extra multiplier towards the total amount.

BTW, I recommend with metal slimes that you bring some kinda really cheap sushi; I found that helped with me, tho you still will miss. (Don't waste the good stuff; ask a cook for tentacle or carp sushi.)

But yeah they behave like a DQ slime.
