Notes:

• Timed Spawn randomly of either this NM or Mahisha approximately every 8-12 hours around D-12 to E-11 on the second map.
• Killable by: 5 characters are capable of killing it, however even alliances can easily wipe (see testimonials).
• Killed by: 2 Ninja/Dancers
  • Ninjas and White Mages recommended, however Bards are extremely helpful when fighting in smaller groups, as it can be a long fight.
• Soloable by 1 Beastmaster with Very Tough Familiared Oil Spill, or 2+ Beastmasters with Decent Challenge Gloops. Recommended to bring several stacks of pet food and medicine.
• Special Attacks: Melee hits of 150-200, high damage from the Fomor special attacks (400+ AOE)
  • Due to dangerous Grim Halo AoE, it is highly recommended Mages stay away from Eba, and keep Stoneskin up if they have it.

Historical Background

The only references to Eba that can be found are: a staple food in Nigeria made from cassava, a festival in western Africa, Mag Eba, a plain mentioned in Irish mythology or the strand of Eba, a beach mentioned in Irish mythology. The word “eba” comes up a lot in many west African languages though.
