I have done the impossible!

[guyincorporated]

Yes, last night I accomplished an FFXI first:

I stole a GOLD beastcoin from a goblin.

That's right, fellow thieves. The goblins in Newton Movopolis have gold beastcoins to steal. The Goblin Packman is a confirmed steal, but I'm sure all the similarly-leveled gobbos have them, too.

[wrajjt]

hrm. Are the goblins sight-only and what level are they?

[guyincorporated]

Sight only, hide works on them. VT-IT at level 62, so they're in the low-to-mid 70's.

[Haplo]

Yay, I got one too They were VT still at 67 in Bibiki (Hobgoblins aren't direct goblins I guess, but they're close enough).

[SAVAGE]

There is VT mobs for lvl 67 in bibiki bay, where i havent seen them.

[Huck]

the South half. They're IT's for me >< all sorts of IT stuff there. Dhalmels and bunnies are IT too!

[Kastel]

I've seen some VT gobs in Newtown as Lv75

Urm ...

Your topic makes it sound like such a huge deal ... but ... thieves have been stealing gold beastcoins from non-CoP beastment for ... as long as I remember ;o ...

Yeah, and until CoP, high-level goblins had beastcoins to steal. Not gold beastcoins. Not mythril beastcoins. Regular beastcoins. 90 gil apiece beastcoins. So yes, to thieves, having the value of your steals increase by a factor of 100, is in fact, "a huge deal."

[Nameless]

Uh? You can certainly steal Mythril beastcoins from Goblins, I did it all the time back in Kahzam. My THF isn't high at all, so I have no idea about Gold Beastcoins, but I'm positive you can steal Mythril.

[Tythera]

Guyincorporated meant the high level goblins, like the ones in Cape Terrigan. If you steal from those you'll get a regular beastcoin. It'll be a plus while I explore there but I don't think its life altering or anything.

Um, that may be true of Gobbies, but you can certainly get Gold Beastcoins from high level Yags, Orcs, Quadavs. I witnessed a 65 drk/thf steal gold beastcoins over and over from Yags in castle oztroja during a skillup pt. Since they are sight only, hide works fine. I really don't see the big deal about being able to steal from the gobbies.

You're not a thief. You wouldn't understand.

You're right, I don't understand, but I do play as THF on occasion, even if its not my highest job. I also use it as sub in skillup PT's or coffer pt's on occasion.
