# Mar 15 2006 at 9:57 PM Rating: Decent
i hate to say it, but this is one of those totally non-productive rants about my horrible luck and will probably just get me flamed at but...oh well

i camped this fella and killed the placeholder bats non-stop for over 4 hours the other night and only got one spawn. the next night, i did the same, camped the two spots near gustav tunnel, for over 6 hours! no spawn what so ever!!! i never left, and i was present for every respawn.....WHAT IS GOING ON?? there's got to be something i'm doing wrong...somebody enlighten me?? please?? i beg of you, this is driving me nuts.

thanks

Sat and killed giant bats for about an hour with my lvl 23 BST and he poped, did the little send a mob at him and when dead send another like 4 times and then i had like 30 hp left and he had a sliver of life when a sam took the last blow. But I pretty much did it myslef :P Well to make a long story short.. I got my Night Cape first time camping! YAY
North tunnel

does golden bat pops in the northern tunnel? the south one is camped by others lots of time, if possible, I would just like to sit in Northern tunnel quietly and wait for him pop.

I camped this NM as a 29sam/14war and had no problem killing it. Though, it only dropped a bat wing :(
3/12 so far...
# Feb 14 2006 at 2:40 PM Rating: Decent
I've fought this mob with a score of 3/12 for the Night Cape (going for 150k on Sylph), and I like to stop in every so often to see if it spawns.

Good NM for a low level to camp! ^^b
Close shave

I camped this one after taking VE. I figured, I'm in the area, why not? So, I go near the zone and I kill the Giant Bats, probably about 3 times, but no pop yet. Then some lv. 18 group zones a whole load of bats, two gobs, and a Bogy. I was already a bit lowered on HP from the Giant Bats (hunting as 38 DRK, Drain sucks against bats) and so I couldn't drop to rest or they'd agg me. So, I take out some bats, some others take the gobs and some SMN camping there too sends his Carby to take the Bogy. So, I drop to rest. Then the SMN runs off because someone called for a raise and they were near by. I turn my head for a sec to watch TV, then I look back and I'm being attacked by Golden Bat. I had no more than 210 hp, but it wasn't a problem. I took him out quick, got the drop, and was on my way. All in all though, even without the weirdness, this guy was very under-camped (on asura) so I'd give it a go.
Soloable at level..

A level 31BLM/RDM has a chance soloing this you guys/girls reckon?

OR; A 31BLM/WHM and 32DRG/WAR duo ?
RE: Soloable at level..
# Dec 12 2005 at 4:23 PM Rating: Decent
if you got a good bind on it, and got some good spells cast on it u might be able to solo it (make sure you have 2 hr in hand, just in case)
but you and a drg could easily take it.. gl with camping!

After Valkrum Emperor was killed, I decided to pass time hunting this. Went to Gustav Tunnel zone and killed the two giant bats. The I used a snipper "pet" (drain and aspir a snipper) and returned to the tunnel to see Golden Bat, so with my snipper pet I attacked the Bat, but all I got was a bat wing >.<

I killed him after about 45min of camping. I kept killin all the bats in the tunel out side of the gustuv entrance. I used my 43 taru whm/blm buffed with protect2, shell2, ice spikes, blink, and stone skin. I used haste and I owned him plus got drop. it was fun actually.

OK got this guy for the first time today. So I am 0/1 with him. I really hate him now. The only thing I got for my time was a bat wing and skilled up my staff alittle bit. Hope SE dosen't make this drop rare/ex before I can get one.

I am thinking of camping this thing, but I NEED to know some kind of spawn time! I like to log out until maybe 10 minutes before it is supposed to spawn, so I dont waste my whole day just killing random bats.
RE: spawntime...
# Jul 25 2005 at 11:06 AM Rating: Decent
It seems it takes about hour of killing giant bats for it to spawn but there has been a time when it took an hour and a half for it to spawn.
Got it twice
# Jul 23 2005 at 6:14 PM Rating: Decent
I took this thing on two times today with my xp party in gustav. It poped once when we were waithing on a war to come and our blm was at the zone to gustav in the dunes raiseing her wand skill on the bats there. It poped she told us and we all came and killed it and got the drop. Next time it poped was after we tryed to kill the gob NM and almost got owned but the blm used escape. It was right there near the zone so we killed it again and got the drop again.
Getting old fast

0/3 so far. 2 pops one day about an hour apart. Today camped for about 2 hours at Tunnel Zone (I guess it pop in the other tunnel and I missed it). Took TH this time and nothing but over a stack of bat wings to show for it.

Pop time. I suppose about an hour is correct. I can confirm night is not needed ... This pop was 14:20 Watersday.

Yeah, in the tunnals there are bats no matter what time of day it is.
