Wife Aggro - Run Away!Follow

I caught aggro from the NM "Wife". I tried to throw a pet at it but they couldn't even begin to keep hate (FYI, sorry to the cats, I know they don't like being thrown like that). I tried to zone to the living room but it followed, still aggro. Shutting down the computer seemed to take the edge off the aggro. Instead it was keeping an eye on me. It seems to have a permanent "Perfect Dodge" as well as very high magic immunity. I highly advise that it is avoided at all costs as all I hear it drops is something called "alimony settlement" which is ex (yes, you can get more than one) and unable to be thrown away. It is rumored that it somehow decreases the amout of gil you get but I'm not sure how it works exactly. Feeding it chocolate also seems to reduce the amount of aggro you receive but not always.

NM Wife not only resisted the PS2 & FFXI but went into rage mode when the credit card bill came and showed the attempted charm tools as an expense.

I have noticed that it can be brought out of rage mode (for a time anyway) by charming the little one that hangs around with her, aka our 5 month old son.

dude.....Wife is a lv 89 HNM++++.....WTF WE'RE YOU THINKING?

once you charm it, you will fall victim to the Shoe Shop tp move. she will use it in battle, forcing you to beat out the other Wife NMs for a special item that only Wife can use (yes, there are more than 1 type of Wife)

If you guys were using the right "broad-sword" in battle then you would not get so much "wife" aggro.

As a reformed - but not defeated hehe, *Wife* aggro[vator} NM, I can tell you the strategy that my husband used on me. My husband threw one copy of FFXI and playonline registration at me one night last year after receiving daily [aggro] from me.

My hitpoints were pretty high to begin with and I resisted; but BAM! I took enough *damage over time* to allow him to [run away] and continue alive and intact on his journey in game while I journey on in Van a Diel.

However please be cautioned! Using these tactics can be damaging! There were some lingering results due to my continual use of FFXI. This includes AOE damage which from time to time causes him to lose some of his [weapon skill] [broad sword]; his [mog house] is a mess and there is no [food] in the AH.

/cheers!

(p.s. he plays a different online game - but the effects are the same *wink)

I use to have wife aggro, I find that the following line seems to work well at getting rid of "Aggro"...

"It rubs the lotion on it's skin"

P.S. Fat guy in a lil skin!

I found a cheat code!! If you preform 'Kiss' the wife is stunned long enough for you to despawn her from the camp area and lock her out. >.>
