Title Edit: T1 Abyssea* VNM upgrading question

I read on wiki somewhere that it says anyone in the party/alliance has a chance that their T1 Abyssite will upgrade from a T1 kill regardless of who pops the T1 VNM.

Is this true?

If this is true, then does the person(s) in question need to be within exp range for an upgrade, or can they be anywhere in the zone?

Also, can their T1 Key Item be upgraded from a T1 kill that was popped by someone with a T2 or higher Key Item?

I know for certain you need to be in exp range to acquire the key item. Found out the hard way lol only Atma are immune to this

But no if you have a tier II key item already in Abyssea zones you can keep popping a tier I over and over with no risk of upgrading.

If your asking "can you hold a tier I tier II and tier III key items at the same time" then yes, you can

No, the last part I was asking if someone with only a T1 KI can have it upgraded from a T1 Kill that was popped by someones T2 KI

If I got this right, he's asking if someone other than the T1 VNM poper can get the Abyssite KI to change from T1 to T2.
In that case, I'd say no. As far as I know it's Your pop, Your Abyssite, and you won't be getting a T2 VNM kill to magically upgrade someone's T1 KI into a T2 either.

If this is true, then does the person(s) in question need to be within exp range for an upgrade, or can they be anywhere in the zone? If person A pops it and person Person B is on the other side of the zone, can Person B still receive the upgrade (Both in the same party/alliance)?

Also, can their T1 Key Item be upgraded from a T1 kill that was popped by someone with a T2 or higher Key Item? If Person A (with a Colorful Demuline Abyssea) pops a Tier 1 Abyssea VNM, can Person B who only has a Clear Demuline Abyssite recieve an upgrade (again, both in the same party/alliance)?

Yes, I was asking that. My reason for asking is this quote from the wiki page for Meanderer:

"Alliance members possessing a Clear Demuline Abyssite have a chance to receive a Colorful demilune abyssite when it's defeated. "

Pretty much the best reply that was given, and it was the very 1st one.

VNMs immediately disappear when everyone with hate has died thus it's impossible to steal someone's vnm and get your abyssite upgraded. You can steal a vnm if it unclaims, but you won't get the key item. The popper will still get it if they're alive.

And to contribute, no, only the popper will ever get their abyssite upgraded period, even if another person steals it when it goes yellow (not deaggro).

I actually made that edit on ffxiclopedia after people in my party (during a VNMII run in abyssea - altepa) had their abyssites change from Colorful Demilune Abyssite to Emerald Demilune Abyssite during Koios runs during MY pops. I spammed the NM for SMN body seals and the members in my parties confirmed that they did in fact get upgraded abyssites. I've also farmed tier IIs with old linkshell buddies with them or myself getting tier IIs from us just farming tier Is together.
