Have been reading alot of post on people saying how hard they are. They hard yeah but not like scary hard. Was in a party, me being a RDM 18-19, a taru WHM, galka RNG, taru WAR, hume SAM and elv DRK, and we were doing just fine. Granted the SD on the taru got him down to like 60hp but me(rdm) and the whm casting 2 Cure II's and the taru voking again, it was nothing. Taru got SD back to back and how he survived I still dont know. Good party I guess and some extra voke lol.

Had no BLM so I would throw a Fire or Aero in here and there. Killed about 3 to 4 at at time then rested. Was getting on average 200exp and 240 on good chains.

I like rdm, Paralyze and Blind go along way and more effective then I thought.

I was in Selbina today, and started running towards La Theine Plateau. I guess there were a few mobs hanging around outside. A Beach Pugil just started attacking me. I'm not sure what the story is, but I thought I might share.

It may have been fished up and zoned by the fisherman, fished up monsters, even by the same name, are often actually different then the monsters in the area and some will aggro.

These pugils are a pain.

Having leveled on these mobs from 17-20 three times in Valkurm as a Thf, Pld, and Ninja, meaning I've killed (in a party anyway) over 200 of these things at least. I would have to say that 2 BLMs (or one Taru BLM) with Blizzard are a must have if you don't want to almost die everytime you fight these. Ninja level 15 Ice magic was worthless, melees would hit for 6-12 per hit, if they hit at all, other BLM elemental spells would do like 16 damage, but Blizzard would do 60pts of damage on average. With so much nuking, a NIN or PLD are almost a requirement so as to keep hate since these things can one hit kill taru mages (not an exaggeration, I've seen it happened several times). If you got the BLMs and a good tank, this mob will give you excellent XP for your efforts =)

Last night we fought a pugil and had a screwdriver hit of 272...My poor Taru Black Mage only has 203 HP at lvl 20 there was no hope. :( At this point we are going to stay a way from pugils for now.

You shouldn't stay away from them. 272 damage on a Taru Black Mage is not 272 on a Warrior or Paladin tank.

What you need to do is learn to moderate your nukes to not get agro. Also, you need a tank that will provoke every 30 seconds, or better yet a PLD that provokes every 30 seconds and also heals himself.

A dead BLM is a sign of poor hate control or over-nuking, or a combination of both. When that mage is a taru the changes of death are really high, since they have the lowest hp and vitality of any race.

a party member of mine decided to fish while we waited for a raise for another pc. he caught one of these. Not only does it aggro everyone in your pt. but anyone else too. zoning makes no difference. if you catch it, it will aggro, zone or no zone.

I'm just being immature and spiteful. Got into a huge argument with Masteryoda on Alexander server because he swore up and down that these linked. I'd just like to point to the top of this page as proof that he's a dumb ***.

You are right. They -don't link-.

Tell your friend that I fought a pugil when two others were floating nearby-- we were killing it and yet the other pugils didn't link to kill us.

In fact, one floated right through me when I was casting Fire on it's buddy........

they can link, if they have been aggroed, then someone zones, they can link. Or if you are at the hidden beach I think they link.

#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 02 2004 at 7:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i saw this thing and i was a lvl. 26 at the time, and it conned as a even match to me, i took it o, luckily a high lvl. whm stuck around me while i lvled to lvl. 28 got like 57-75 xp a kill,then the guy left me while i was facing one, even with brass scale mail which he made for me, (crafted), i still died, he had to come back and raise me and stick around me till i reach lvl. 29, then the things conned as easy prey to me, then i told him he could go, gave me protect III, and shell III, and fully healed me till i was full, partied with me, gave me regen II, then left and said to call him if i needed anything, had to pay him 5k though, was worth it though.

Make sure to have atleast two tank classes around 19-20, atleast 1 white mage, 1 black mage to able to fight these things. Do not underestimate there special ability "screwdriver" It has killed me very quickly(19 Hume Warrior/monk).

It'll usually do from 150-170+ damage so the healers should always keep the main tank above 200 health at all times.

XP is around 155+ per

Good Luck...!.

Yes siree, I would have to agree with you there 100 percent. A WHM with at least a RDM in the party for spot backup healing is a must. Make sure that your healers take extreme caution when fighting these, and have them heal after almost every hit, making sure to keep the MT above at least 230hp to be safe. I was once the main healer in a pugil party and our MT wiped almost instantly (240something screwdriver followed immediately by a crit for 74). Take care on these, exp is incredible though.
