Notes
- Pop Item NMs are those in which an item dropped from enemies surrounding the pop is used to spawn the NM. These can also be purchased on the AH. See the NM's page for details.
- KI Pop NMs are those in which a player spawning the NM must be in possession of one or more (usually several) Key Items obtained from defeating other Abyssea NMs. See the NM's page for details.
- Timed Spawn NMs are those which automatically spawn after a certain amount of time has passed in the zone. After being killed, there is a cooldown on their respawn, but they will automatically respawn after this cooldown period ends. They may also be up at any time in their respective zones, if nobody else has killed it and initiated its cooldown period. See the NM's page for details.
- VNMs function just the same as outside Abyssea. See the VNM page for more details.
If there is any new info you find, such as new NMs that drop upgrade items, or quests that give them as a reward, please post a reply and I will update this thread.
