Additional Information (Steps to reproduce/Expected behavior) :

Super simple fix for someone with commit access.

The bat family mob "Bilesucker" is a level 87-92 mob. There are three spawns near where you complete your Bard Artifact Weapon at level 40+ in Ranguemont Pass.

According to sources:

https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Bilesucker

FFXIclopedia - Talk:Bilesucker

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Bilesucker

the mob should be non-aggro, but the aggro flag is set in the stock topaz release database. I'm assuming this is what makes a mob choose to attack or ignore lower level players.

Makes it hard to complete the quest without cheating at appropriate levels... I cheated (!godmode). One can non-cheat use sneak or silent oils as a workaround, but you have to be quick and not get hit when spawning the quest mob to make it work.

If the mob is truly non-aggro like sources say, you would be able to clear the level appropriate Evil Weapons from the area, spawn the quest mob and as long as you don't use AoE you don't have a problem.

I don't currently subscribe to retail FFXI or I would go verify mob spawn location and aggro.

The area in question can be seen from location X: -263 Y: -46 Z: 179 (162) in Ranguemont Pass according to the !where command.

Actually, its not just low level players. The aggro flag literally just sets whether that mob is aggressive or not. Given the level of the mob, it'll be aggressive to virtually everyone, as it'll never be outside the aggro level range.

Also, this helps your statement: FFXIclopedia - Talk:Bilesucker
Per everything I've found on this, yes this mob is non-aggressive.

Dang it! How in the world did I mess up those links?!?!?! BAH! I thought (url) just denoted that the previous thing in brackets was a url to be followed. And then I didn't click the links to test them.

First time I think I ever opened an issue on github... because I got smacked hard the first time I walked in that room as a level 42 bard trying to get that knife!

Anyway, now I know better. And thank you guys for everything you do! I'm having so much fun playing on my little topaz server when I get home from work and reliving when I was a kid playing FFXI back in 2005! And now... back to leveling another job!
