Yilbegan

Spawned by having a Black Abyssite and resting within 5 yalms of it. Your Abyssite will shatter upon contacting this NM.

Immediately goes back into hiding if all members on its hate list are defeated (including defeating the Abyssite-holder before any alliance members can act) or if its current target is more than 25 yalms away.

Another player holding Black Abyssite can still contact Yilbegan in this case, but the original holder will have lost his/her Abyssite.

Respawn timer reported at well over four hours,^[1] up to eight or nine hours from last time of death.^[2] Only one "True" (has a shadow, drops rings) Yilbegan can be up in any of the zones at one time.^[3]

• It is possible, though difficult, to dodge Dancing Tail by running outside its Area of Effect. It is also not recommended when several Blue Mages are in the alliance, since this is their damage-maximizing phase.
• All of Yilbegan's Area of Effect TP moves and magic will affect any player in range, regardless of hate or whether s/he is in the alliance that claimed it. They will also affect players riding Chocobos.
