Notes:

• They are completely passive and do not aggro or link. Nyzul Wivres do aggro, however.
• They will not always turn when the person with hate is behind or to the side of them. Similar to Wyrms, they will attack with their tails and swipes of their horn.
• Granite hide is similar to "Diamond Shell" It has no "Effect" It simply makes Wivre Immune, or highly resistant to Frontal Attacks, since there is no "Effect" to be given, an "Effect" will not be displayed, its not a glitch.
• Hard, but soloable on DRG/BLU. Race other then Galka need very good HP+ equip for trigger Healing Breath. Fight can be easy if no Boiling Blood is used. After Boiling Blood there is possibility that You will lose w/e be done, for example Double attack crit. Wivres attack very fast even before Boiling Blood and hit for 150-180 and crit for up to 310 (probably more) with Cocoon up. After Boiling Blood, recasting Cocoon can be difficult. To avoid your wyvern taking hate after Boiling Blood + Attack Down combo, I suggest starting the fight with Angon + Weaponskill. Fought Wivre only 4 times after merit pt killed 3 died on 4th. Had no food and no Angons.
• Easily soloable as DNC/NIN with fan dance and evasion setup. Somewhat difficult without at least one fan dance merit.
• Soloable as Thf/Nin without any bolts; just be cautious and either dispel or hope it doesn't use boiling blood. Subtle blow gear helps.
  • VERY unlikely to solo this as THF/NIN. Multi-attacks cut through shadows quickly and Bloody Bolts barely ever proc. This is with full Evasion Merits and 3 Marksmanship Merits. Duoing seems viable.
• Easily soloable by 75RDM/NIN with just Gravity/Bind/Sleep Blizzard III (Takes roughly 10mins.) but worth the xp and the chance of a Hide~
• Boiling Blood ability gives Haste to the mob
• Demoralizing Roar inflicts a substantial Attack Down
• Batterhorn is similar to Knockback
