Pixie

I spotted them in Jugner Forest and Batallia Downs yesterday on the way to the Necropolis escort. It was a major "WTF?" moment for me. Glad to see them around, though.
 
too bad the pixies cant be 70ish... be nice if they could stay alive long enough to help us but they have to drop ixion claim items...

grrrr


i also haven't seen any pixies anywhere in the present btw
 
If it's such a big problem, then start farming beastmen for bottled pixies and stop being a lazy ass.
Also, Xzerp, the updates usually install parts that previous expansions have access to if someone doesn't have the current expansion. Like say a Pixie model, it's installed with WotG (I'm assuming), but someone without gets it through the update. It's why updates without expansions tend to be a larger file size than those with all of them.
 
i thought wiki said that quest reduces hate not respawn more? Been awhile since I checked it so it could have been confirmed
 
As of the May 2008 interview more light has been shed on this quest.
"It would be an awkward situation if monsters in the present world were to become extinct as the result of events in the past. However, this may not necessarily be negative. If the players do ‘something’ in the past world, there could be positive consequences in the present one. For example, if the players were to save a Pixie in the past, Pixies would exist in the present. For the time being though, there aren’t many cases of this."

Pixie-type mobs often cure you and even raise you when you fall in battle. Killing Pixie-type mobs causes their population to decrease as well as making them stop helping adventurers. Whether or not a pixie will pop is determined by how safe they feel, a measure relating the times they were killed to the times they could "live safely." This can even go as far as to keep pixies from spawning at all in any zone. Trading a Bottled Pixie to the Fay Spring will help to build up their population over time. That said, trading Bottled Pixies has no effect on individual adventurers, but influences the entire server's status with the Pixie race.

In other words, if you kill off too many Pixies, then they won't respawn at all until they feel safe again. And that can only be done by releasing those Bottled Pixies back to Witchfire Glen. (Thankfully they only drop that ash for Ixion, so there's no real benefit for killing 'em. At least until they get some blue magic worth using, I suppose.)

Also~

Building up Pixie Amity may allow them to show themselves in the Present.

People shouldn't be farming Pixies all that much, if they want the Ash, it should really only be used on Ixion by a ranger with unlimited shot (conserves ammo on next shot). That doesn't mean they will have perfect accuracy, but if they're claiming, they should be smart enough to make the shot count since a miss means Ix takes off like a bat out of hell and everyone has to go back to camping.
 
but wont they just have everyone whos job will have some chance of hitting ixion to have an ash to increase their chance to claim? that mean NIN will probably be throwing too, or some other jobs besides RNG.

maybe have SE increase the drop rate for ash to 100% if it wasnt yet. that way, dont need people murder bunch pixies for a ash
 
The problem is you seem to think they care. It's the players responsibility to keep em up not SEs
 
at least someone care about it enough to make a post lol
 
aye if u can see them in present time means theres a reason for it and a chain of events may take place for this in future reference but SE works in misterious ways lol i dont really think it can be just a glitch can be tested easily die near it and if u get R and C u aint dreaming lol if they pass by u like fuck u stay there till u get kick back to HP at least u will know best :D

will give it a try :) and search for one

HAH! Told you I saw a stupid little flying radiation poisoned rat at tahrongi! I'll admit I like the fact that SE did something like this. Stuff in the past effecting the present, that's pretty hardcore.


Btw~to the server~

I'm sorry, I killed about 12 of these things before I figured out they were friendly lol...
 
There are a few other things in past effectign rpesent, like the ???s in past allowing you to jump gaps, think they're in, batallia (allows you to jump to cliff normally you need to go through beacadine to get to)

Theres also one in citadel, allowing you to bypass the banashing gates, and one in north gusta, allowing you to hop up and down the big wall in the middle...

Very nice things to have in the present imo
 
Yah, you have to do the Lycopodium quest to get access tho
 
listening to different chats it seems that there's a lot of n00bs killin the pixies in the present =/
 
<Noob> OMG guys, there is a pixie in dune, must be new NM *ran over and kills the pixie*
 
LOL would be funny if the Pixie turned around and killed the n00bs XD
 
like how people used to pull VE when fighting flies?

<Noob> {Pull Back} Valkurm Emperor
<Noob> omg this fly hacks!
<Party> dude why you pulled that
 
Saw one in North Gustaberg yesterday on the way to Pal. Mines. It was quite a unique sight.

I got off my choco and did a 300% Spinning Slash on it. It died. No drop.

Spoiler:
Kidding. Don't flame me ; ;
 
Stop killing sandworms and ixions so we can have them in the present!!!
