Secret NM Grabbing! (Final Fantasy x 2 yuna)
December 26th, 2006*** WARNING : only proven on NMs spawning in a closely knit area ***
As most people are aware, there are many cheats, exploits, and bots to getting Notorious Monsters. This trick can make people using F8 macros, or anything else NOT involving the mouse, to not be able to select the monster they want, and lose. It is cheap, but so are macros - GET YOUR REVENGE!
1. First pull a mob that is unlikely or too weak to kill you. If the mob is extremely weak and its hitting you for virtually nothing, your in good shape. If the mob can kill you if you let it hit you for a minute or two, pull it soon before you should worry about the NM spawning, that way you can kill it afterwards.
2. Make sure you position yourself directly infront of the person or persons you are REALLY worried about stealing your NM. If you have a team, or a party, this is much easier becuase one person can totally focus on staying in front of the main competitor. *** DO NOT USE THE FOLLOW COMMAND ***
3. When the NM spawns, grab it with fast spells - Voke, Shadowbind, Dia, Flash, Stun ( If these don't have a long enough range, this strategy probably wont work for you ) and kill the NM fast, or get your partner to. If the distraction monster is strong enough to hurt or even kill you, it is a much better idea to PT with one or two other people than decide to solo this. Losing the NM is bad, but dying is worse.
I hope this works for you, it has proven very effective for me ^^
