The drop rate is somewhere between 10-25%.
Novv will buff himself with Stoneskin, Protect IV, Shell III, Aquaveil.

His level is about 66 considering the exp you get combined with the types of spells he has available to him.

He will generally use Benediction at around 50% of the fight which will recover his hp to full.

He has poor enough accuracy and doesn't hit hard but he can spam Cure/Curage.

2-2.5 hours is the usual spawn time for him.

The cave entrance at J-8 just out of the range of the Mousse is about the safest place to rest.

Duo this fight is the recommended way of doing this mob. I've fought Novv where 2 fish popped and aggroed and they not only started using shadow/hp quickly but buffed/cured the hell out of each other. You want someone with Sleep/Lullaby to keep those mobs out cold.

I did it with 75 mnk/nin and my 66 brd/whm. I picked whm for erase as their STR- aoe spells can be trouble.

It's a nice place to camp, you get plenty of whm and brd sp

Macro in any SST- and fast cast at the beginning of your cast, then swap them to pieces, such as this, to finish casting in.

You'll get your casting time shortened, and still gain the benefits of armor such as this.

BRD should NEVER finish casting in something like Yigik or Manteel, macros exist for a reason.

There are however, better things to macro in for debuffs than this, Errant body being a prime choice.
10 chr > 3 skill for debuffs.

Minstrel's is the best for march tiers, and is a staple piece(or should be) for every BRD around.

NM located behind gold door in Sea Serpant Grotto. Easy NM for 75 char.

i'm 1/1 on this drop with TH3. Duo'd with my brother as NIN/WAR and THF/NIN. fight was an absolute joke. took around 2 hours to pop.

This coat is the best piece of body armor a BRD can have until Yigit or Sha'ir.

To correct Relicant, this is always the best buffing body piece, IF and only if it moves you up a tier on your songs. You should not need -casting time in most cases, so Skill {Yes, Please}

good Body peice for brd Enfeebs still macro this in at 75, if u dont need cast time- depending on what situation your in will be better for landing songs on mobs over a Yigit or Sha'ir.
