This guy and me have become very good friends. On Remora, Archer's knifes are going for 50-60 k mostly, although I've just got another 3 knifes from 3 pops in a row and trying to sell them for 70 k since about 5/6 others have on the sales history.

He's camped full-time on Remora by a gil seller called Heavenvku. He gets his fair share of pops simply because he's there 24/7...whenever he's been there and I have camping it I've won, 7-0 to me against him so far. He got his friend to help last time, didn't seem very good either.

I'm 9/9 on him so far, I'll assume the knife is 100%. Never got the bow tho, doesn't look very good anyhow.
Drop rate?

Is this a 100% drop? I'm considering camping it for my RNG, but I might just buy it because of the pop-time.
!?

At the spawn points for hawkeyed, and tigerbane (i didn't check the others) there are targetable ! points nearby. It says something like, there is a single piece of paper here. What if anything does this have to do with the price of tea in china?

Have they changed the spawn point of this guy? I'm camping him for Archer's Knives for my RNG, but another camper keeps telling me he got him somewhere else.

Is this true? Please help!

Yes! I think he also spawns on the path to the pool! Because i wondered, why i was the only one there and why some users came, looked for a short time and left again! :-)

NM Campers often tell people the spawn point has changed, or it's recently spawned, to throw off campers to lower competition... example, once I was camping Hoo Mjuu for about an hour and a half and a new camper came, and said he spawned 10 minutes ago, so that camper left.

At least, I think that's whats happening.

They increased the spawn area for this guy, it's alot bigger then the area marked on the map.

LOL

just got this guy 5 minutes ago! + the knife ^^
uber happy about it cos every other NM is heavily camped by moron gilsellers or bots...to add to my joy the gilseller Hexin...(something)
tried to MPK me by pulling a chain of IT orcs to the pop point, luckily just as he got there i'd prism powdered and silent oiled myself...stood there watching him get owned by the orcish gladiators and zerkers ^^ (this guy was a galka wearing a hauberk at the time so before you say he was high enough to train them all the way :P)

So i am kinda bored farming elementals and tigers in Jugner. I decide to have another look at Davoi since i had some unfinished business with the Orcs there when i was sniffing around at level 30 Thief.
Anyway, i zone in and fire up NM List on my laptop to see what a THF 45 can find here. Archers Knife!!! I was hooked.
I stroll over to the area on the map and at the T crossing there are already 6 people standing idle. I move on to the Pool and there is a loneley NIN there. He greets me and i ask him if he is waiting for Hawkeye. He nods and i say ok, no need to fight over it, you go ahead i check out Tigerbane. So i head back to the T crossing and wonder why the 6 people there are not killing Orcs to make him spawn. I tell the Friendly SAM that there are 6 others and he says they camp this NM alot as he has seen their names in Jeuno AH on a regular basis.
So i make my final farewell wishing him good luck. I turn west at the T crossing and around the bent i run into Hawkeye!! I was stunned for a second but then instinct took over and i drew my knife starting to poke him with 20 damage a hit (pathetic i know). After unleashing a 210 hit eagle eye shot and several Bloody Bolts on my part later he dies and drops the knife. Sure enough all the campers where there looking really confused and shocked.

Talk about beeing lucky. I head back to the NIN and tell him what happened and he took it like a real warrior. (His name strated with O and was japanese, i don't really remember, Youre a great guy though, very friendly).

Sure enough i went to the place Tigerbane spawns cause i felt lucky. I started to kill some lizzies but eventually they linked and i died. Then the friendly NIN shows up and helps by calling for a raise. I know there where at least one WHM camping Hawkeye but they never came to raise me. So after some chat with the NIN i decided to HP as it was obvious they wont raise me.

So i guess i am 1/1 on Hawkeye and i hope you (the NIN) had a nother chance and got the drop. Needless to say i won't sell it, as a THF45, RNG 25 i find them rather usefull.

lol this dudes eagle eye is weak,i soloed the giant on rnk 3-3 as a 50rdm/24blm and his eagle eye only did 254dmg with prt 2 and phalanx on. Basically if your 10+ lvls higher than this dude eagle eye wont do much to you unless your like a brd...

umm, you're kidding right? you're 20 levels lower than the pld, AND even if you were 60 your defense is much lower than the pld. You would get obliterated by Eagle Eye Shot. Even buffing with blink/stoneskin won't help that much, it'll probably be eaten through during the fight before he had a chance to use EES.

I was in Davoi yesterday doing G3. Had to go to the pool at L-9 for the quest. Dnatbat was right there chilling by the pool. I had a friend look it up for me and decided to kill it for fun. My 60PLD/30WAR wasted it without taking much damage at all (it's Eagle Eye Shot hit me for 42 - ow =P). Got the Archer's Knife ^^ Just luck I guess.

4 hours last night. 3 people killing orcs. Not 1 spawn. We camped the entire area from k-7 to L-9 and no spawns. Even the gil sellers like Jennyko on sylph gave up on him.

Idea why they moved Davoi NMs

Well at least on my sever, A LOT of gil sellers where in davoi. Now i havnt camped these NMs in a while because of them. So you people are saying they moved the NMs here spawn points.
My reason would be that they moved them to have the gil sellers stop what they are doing.
I infact had called a GM after i got soo pissed at them and he said they where going to fix that.

Well thats just my reason...

RE: Idea why they moved Davoi NMs
# Mar 11 2005 at 9:40 AM Rating: Decent
Well atleast your GMs are saying they are going to do something. There are four-five people who LIVE at the Stroper Chyme camp sight on Migard. Aniet a lvl 50+ Galka pld, Dress, a litlle taru mage 50+, Babys and mithra thf 50+, Capcom a lvl 50+ Galka monk, and Enough a lvl 50+ taru Rdm. They camp the spot and kill it, leave and come back every 15 mins. (that is spawn time on server). THEY ARE ALWAY THERE. They dont do anything else. I called a GM after camping for an entire day and being beaten to it time after time again. All the GM said was "Sorry it isnt against the ToA to camp NM spots".....I could have beaten his face in. I wish these looser JPs would get a real job instead of the one they have now because they're too dumb in real life. Oh well. I think the gil sellers are here to stay guys. SE doesnt give a flying flip about it other wise they would have done something about it. Well, thanks SE you just supported my decision to go by WoW.

Wow.

I'm shocked at how much you whine. I mean I've heard b*tching before but...DAMN. No really. You have got to be the biggest cry-baby....ugh I'm actually disgusted...I ..I think I'm going to be sick.

Ever been to Japan my friend? Try buying a cupcake with the amount of money a gil seller would make. They don't make a bill that small, and yen is pretty small. No my friend, most of the REAL gil sellers are chinese. You can support a family of 3 on that kind of money I'm sure.

BTW: Shuuuut uuuup

# Dec 14 2004 at 7:41 PM Rating: Decent
Well... im in such shock right now.... HE OWNED ME!!! so I have about 425 life left out of 564
(37RNG/18NIN) and Hawkeyed is down to 25% life... everythings going good... I started fight he got me down from 564 HP to about 425....I got him down to about 25% life, I was sure i was going to own him and get the knife.. when all of a sudden that bi*ch Eagle Eye Shots me and kills me in one hit (435 dmg).. I am shocked I guess its payback for all the mandys i playfully killed with that 2hr p/s i got my revenge within the next hour
