NM Tonberry: Carbuncle Gloves

[Oceanfish]

Hi, new to these forums, first post. Nice to meet everyone.

I was wondering how hard the NM Tonberry for the Carbuncle Glove's are? About how many (if even possible) lv60ish player will be needed to kill it? Does it summon avatars and use their 2hr?
Any adds? Any special item needed to get to his room? Does he always drop light spirit with glove?

Sorry for all the questions, haven't done much in temple for fighting, and it is so hard to find ppl who will fight tonberries, so I want to not waste my LS's time if I needn't.

Oh, and, on getting the light spirit..is it worth camping if the glove NM is too hard? I have some ideas for it..and I want it very much, despite most of the spirit being junk (unless someone found something useful for dark spirit?!). :p

I only know this from screenshots I've seen from a carbuncle summoning LS, but it looked like it too an entire alliance of level 70+'s to take him down. I could be way off, but that's what was fighting him regaurdless.

[Shiia]

This guy can summon the summoner's avatars. I saw Shiva, and Titan been summoned by him in a screenshot. Also it is said that you need 1 full 70s PT.

[Teffie]

I beat it with the following;

75 NIN
71 WHM
69 BRD


and it took us approx 9 minutes to kill it fully, WHM was nearly out of MP (with Vermillion + Double Ballad)

Im going to write a guide on how to get it, stay tuned~

[Kirara]

i thought that thing was pretty damn easy when i did it...
it doesn't summon anything but carb
it uses sheering light twice, once right when he appears, once during the fight, the one during the fight appears to be a bit stronger? i might be wrong.

i did it with out brd and that means i didn't have light defence (other than my dark staff)

the nm is definitly doable with only 2-3 people...
the room needs to be clear from tonberies first
a blm and smn at 75 should take that thing in less than 5 min
with a bit more (a rdm i would perfer) it'll go down faster

you need high priest key to get in there though.... it's a bit behind where sandoria m18 is

[Oceanfish]

I see. Sorry, I haven't been to the temple other than coffer hunting and to go to Leviathan. Where is the high priest key dropped/obtained from? Thanks in advance!

[TriBaL1337]

please some more infomation like what items is needed like examination of ??? and in what area.

also any keys needed to get past doors would be greatly appreciated.

Woohoo~ I got my Carbuncle Mittons (Gloves) last night. It took about 3 hours since we had 11 people and 8 needed to Gloves. This quest is divided into 2 parts in Ugaleppih.

1st part involves getting ?E?K???s?Ì‹??? (Tornberry's something, sorry don't know what it is in English). You can get this item by checking ???, which pops every 2 hours. Location of ??? pop is in 2 room in I-9 and 4 rooms in K-8. The area is just before Rancor's Den when u go for Leviathon quest. It is very dangerous. I recommend going for 4 rooms in K-8 and running to area change in Rancor Den. With Brink, Stoneskin and Phalanx, it was not a problem for me. I would check 2 rooms and area change. Item is Rare, Ex. There is also Pots so using spells is dangerous.

2nd part. Once you have the item, u need to look for a PT. I joined an alliance which had a shout for people with Tornberry item only. We also looked for helpers and left all goodies for them to lot. A minimum of balanced 6 LV 70+ was recommended in 1 Japanese site. Go to the area where the coffers are. Climb the stair way up either in H10 or J10. You need a "High something Key" to open. Once in, make your way to the top, H-6. Trade Torberry item to ??? and NM Crimson-toothed Pawberry will appear. Before you fight this, it is good idea to clear out the room and build TP. Glove drop is 100% and you also get Gil bonus. My group received 1800. ??? pop is 15 minutes (real time).

Carbuncle Mitton (Glove): Def 5, MP+14, LV20~ SMN only
* The Glove reduces MP cost of calling out Carbuncle by half. In case of odd MP numbers, MP cost is not rounded down. MP cost of 5, will become 2.

I hope this helps.

Just to clear up some stuff in Tomoh's info. The item you need is called a "Tonberry's Offering." It spawns randomy in one of the rooms ontop of a bed on the 2nd map. 2nd map is when you enter the Temple and then open the hidden door on the left of the first fork. After going out to yhoatar and back into the Temple again you need to take the path on the right with two rooms in the hall and one in the back. The offering can appear in those two rooms, but theres more rooms in the back which have it too. Go past the back room(With the windurst mission NM) and theres 4 more rooms and an entrance/exit to Den of Rancor. Like tomoh said, use blink/stoneskin then check a room(two if you're feeling lucky) then run to the exit. The item is ex and the monsters will attack lv75 characters.

As for the actual fight, his only real threat(to lv70+ players) is Searing light. He also might drop Light spirit as well(100k on my server, or learn it if you're collecting spirits).

Also, english version of the "High priest key" is called Prelate's key, which is used on the door above the stairs where manipulator roams.

At highlevel, light spirit is 'uber' - it casts Protect/Shell IV along with haste and regen line spells.
Useful to pull out just for buffs if you are like a certain SMN I know. He solos tons of highlevel NM with carbuncle because it costs him 0 mp to keep out (carbuncle mittten and some other gear)
lol - carbuncle is the ultimate gil farm partner when he costs you no mp.

[Gryff]

I'm thinking carbuncles mitts, astral staff reduces cost hugely?
That and juices etc.

[tomfin10]

Navia, could you find out what other gear he has to keep Carbuncle out? I'm curious to know. ^^

[StarRealms]

just a guess...
carbuncle's mitts
light staff (or HQ version)
lvl 70 smn quest ring
+ autorefresh/vermillion cloak
that would get it near 0, I was wondering if this stacked and it must, which is quite amazing.

[Malachite]

Equip you need to keep carb's cost at 0:

Lv51-53: Carbuncle gloves, light staff
54-58: Carbuncle gloves, apollo staff
59-69: Carbuncle gloves, apollo staff/ Carbuncle gloves, light staff, vermillion cloak
70-71: gloves, light staff, verm cloak/gloves, conjurer ring, light staff/gloves, apollo staff
72-75: gloves, light staff, verm cloak, conj ring/gloves, apollo staff, verm cloak or conj ring
