Killed this with 6 LVL 75 players:
NIN/WAR BST/NIN NIN/WAR BRD/WHM RDM/BLM RDM/WHM
Level needed to kill is VASTLY inflated. I was in a party of: 75 Cor/Nin 75 Nin/War, 75 Blm/Whm, 70 Rdm/blm, 68 Rdm/blm, and 56 Whm/blm (my crazy ass) that got him under 10% in 20 minutes, and lost only when a Volcanic Bomb got in range Lahina 15:28, 21 January 2007 (EST)
Can be duo'd as DRG/NIN and RDM/WHM. Added Fang Rush to his attacks. Kobalt 13:50, 31 August 2008 (GMT+1)

To kill
The amount needed to kill this NM is reflected upon its auto-regen. I was skull hunting with a party of 6 and after we received what we came for we tried out the NM for fun. If I recall correctly... pld70+ nin rdm whm thf 75 and a mid-60s blu (mind you, I don't know how accurate my recollection is the main point is the lack of sufficient damage dealers). We weren't wiping except that it would regain as much as we could chip away.
On that note, most likely 2 well balanced parties 70+ would take it, one balanced ~75 party as noted. --Ariannas 12:15, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
Not aggressive?
The notes say the mob is not aggressive and not linking, this sounds odd for this and flagged for verification. Most if not all mobs in this family aggro to sight, with some NMs in the family being true sight. It would seem odd that this one is neither aggressive or not true sight. Can someone verify when this NM is up to run in front of it without invisible up and see if it does not aggro? Even it's lottery pop derivative Hurricane Wyvern is listed as aggro to sight. --Wayka 15:28, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
- It used to be aggressive but they patched it in a minor update in June 2005. --Ichthyos 15:55, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
- Ok I found forums on other sites that mention this, unfortunately since it was only a minor update it is not listed on SE's page (they only retain news of major updates) so I can't link it for this discussion, but it is considered proven it does not aggro (still odd though, I wonder why they changed it). --Wayka 16:34, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
- Probably because it spawns in the corner that's safest to camp in, and many people try to farm Wyvern Skulls there for their Opo-Opo Crowns. Vouivre would often pop, and being aggressive, cause problems for the small group that's trying to pull Hurricane Wyverns. Anyway, yeah you can go out to Ifrit's, find Vouivre (who will usually just be sitting around), and run circles around him without aggroing him. --Ichthyos 17:04, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
- I'm not sure, but they may have changed it because of that Summerfest event (I think it was 2005 anyway) where you and a partner would be warped to seperate places in a random dungeon (Ifrit's being one of them), capped at level 1, with a non-wearing Sneak/Invis. I remember when I was doing this event with a friend, we got warped here, and I got hopelessly lost. I actually did wander upon Vouivre, and was afraid he'd aggro through my Sneak/Invis, but was relieved to find that he didn't. Maybe early in the event they saw that happening to people, and changed it. --Kyrie 21:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- I confirm it, absolutely not aggressive. --Aurikasura 22:37, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
The regen is strong but how well geared players are makes a rather large difference. NIN/WAR + BRD/WHM duoed to 70% with no difficulty before a 2nd NIN showed up to help, so it is definitely killable with NIN NIN BRD, and most likely with simply NIN + BRD. --Thorny 19:44, 15 July 2007 (EST)
There's no note whatsoever about WIND WALL - the uber evasion move all wyverns have. Need someone to dispel this, or you'll be swinging at air. Turnerbrown 21:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
