Category:Sky NM System

From FFXI Wiki

Were you looking for Ru'Aun Gardens?


There are several Notorious Monsters located in the Tu'Lia region that pop conditions are related and dependent on each other. This system is often called "Sky", "Sky NM system", or "Gods" by the playerbase.

These NMs are often broken into three tiers: Gem and Stone NMs, four Shijin, and Kirin. Specific information on the Notorious Monsters can be found on their own page.

Note: Each NM listed here has a chance to drop up to two of their respected pop item. Because they are Rare, it is recommended that two characters are present.
