Hoo Mjuu the Torrent Picture

A magical priest who can cast forth spells like water gushing from a spring. He seems to have connections with paganism and is met with disdain from his fellow Yagudo.

Uses Benediction. Lottery spawn.

So I was heading to help a freind with 2-3 and this guy lap popped on me, and I'd never heard of him. The name kinda said NM to me, so I checked him, and when I saw Impossible to Gauge, I went for it. Unforntunately, I was using a Serpentine Gun at the time and the fact that I took the time to check him and the gun delay gave another camper the chance to voke him from me.

I wasn't too bothered til someone else in the pt told me he dropped Monster Signa.

Now I'm levelling BRD and I cry myself to sleep at night, wondering what might've been if I was using a crossbow...
Woot 1/2

Finished school yesterday, so decided to take my bro's 34 thf to giddeus to try to pick up a pair of zealots for my pally. As I get there, I see Mjuu just standing there, I rush up to him jamming my provoke macro....... nothing happens and a drk takes him with a ranged attack

LESSON #1: Always check your macros BEFORE you go ^^

So I wait 50 mins, and come back, start sitting over near the puddle, humming starwars music (saw Episode 3 yesterday) when I get this odd feeling like I was in the wrong place.. So I move south and sure enough, there he was behind some dude killing a place killer, I start spamming my macro again, and I JUST got him. 1 min later, he drops a signa, and I rejoise.

LESSON #2: Always follow your gut ^^

Not bad for my first camping trip huh ^^

I camped this NM just for the mitts. Over the course of two camping shifts. We got it the first time, but no drop of the signa, however... I did get the mitts on wanted. The signa would have been a great addition. But you take what you can get.

Here's a concept: different servers are... different. Some servers may have very few campers (like Phoenix on most days), some servers may have the place packed 24/7.

HUH I am for shamed lol yes yes u can all /Slap me cause he had to explain it to me and we waited it popped again if front of me and i was like yey I can redeem myself then I screwed up again cause i thought I was supposed to fight it by my self and well u all kno how that turns out so>< This was as lvl 20 WTM

Bad day...

Yet another story of an awful camping trip. Yet, to me, worse than what i heard so far...

It all began in the afternoon. I was just getting ready to camp Hoo for the staf, once again, as a friend drops by, and commands me to go to the cinema. Being in a rush, i leave my character online, in sitting position, decidint that noone would think that i was a bot, since it would be a bad idea to sit down.
Lesson #1:
Giddeus bastards agro sitting Mithras.
After the movie, (Kingdom of Heaven, recommendable), i return to find my HP-return timer at 6:xx minuttes, and a little box in the bottom of the screen asking me, if i would like to revive? I hit yes, and to no surprise, i have recieved a regular raise, which did not return enough exp to regain level 34. That wouldn't bother me under normal circumstances, but wielding a windurstian kukri (just for those who wish to confirm the required level) requires level 34; leaving me unarmed. I also find several campers slapping me, and saying "lol bot!" in my general direction. Quite frustrasting really, as i respawn, and sit to rest. Halfway recovered, guess what? The reason i posted here; Hoo Mjuu spawns next to me. By instinct, i get up and provoke him. Get claim; check. Now the tricky part; killing him as a low strength mithra with skill level 28 unarmed (now 33, thank you Hoo.) I don't recommend you try this. I start hitting him for 7 and 9 damage, which really isn't very satisfying... Until i realise: i've got a bow and arrow. And not just any bow and arrow. unfortunately. A wrapped bow, 30 wooden arrows, and archery skill level 32... Could've been better, aye?
So i get him to use benedixtion, halfway dead, and i learn yet another unpleasent thing:
Hoo Mjuu the Torrent starts casting Curaga
Started shouting obscenities after that one.
I beat him down once more; cure II. once again; curaga, rince and repeat. Short version; Hoo Mjuu has a steady supply of hit points left, and i face myself quickly running out. The other campers are eagerly avaiting my defeat...
except one.
A kindred bard, Twinkill, takes pity on me, and invited me offering the drop. I was very happy, not just because i was down to a measly 22 hitpoints, but mostly, because trick attack suddenly regained it's use.
Match quickly turned from that point, and i'm now one item closer to obtaining a stack of deodorize. No drop of course, never saw that comming, huh?
Anyway, leason learned: Do NOT leave character online and delevel, then fight Hoo with low hp and no weapons, unles there are nice people about.
Thank you.
Drop rate

Maybe true I'm 1/3 on this guy got the signa when i invite THF that was camping with me he killed it before it had a chance to use benediction...but it may have just been his TH2
either way i gave him 30k for his help^^
OMFG

camping tips

It is easy to camp this with any job 30 as you can easily kill and take whatever links. War or Bst subs are very useful. At level 25ish the Yag's in the area around him aggro you.

Oh, he has a terrible droo rate. I'm 0/13 on this guy now. I'll get it one day.. or.. I'll.. give up.

I want to say that it is an impudence, to go camping the Hoo and wearing a vermilion cloak. I hate this ******* money-bags. Naturally it was a ***, go home and die a little bit!

There are so many NMs for level 45+. Leave the Hoo alone. What should "I" camp with my lvl38 rdm ?!

Placeholders: Every 10 minutes 3 yagudo spawn on the 3 divisions of the cliff. The type of yagudo is random. Also on a 10 minute timer are the digger wasps. Ever 10 minutes 2 digger wasps will spawn on the 3 divisions of the cliff. The digger wasp timer is set 5 minutes after the yagudo spawns.
HINT: Hoo Mjuu the Torrent can spawn for any yagudo placeholder.


If that's true, why do people always shout "Torrent's dead if you're here for him!" after killed it? And almost everyone comes back exactly after 120mins?

WAR or BST subs are a MUST for this NM... many people camp this guy and he has a small spawn point. Here is a macro for the Charm/Provoke abilities.

For provoke:
/targetnpc
/ja "Provoke" <t>

or

/ja "Provoke" <st>

For Charm:
/targetnpc
/ja "Charm" <t>

or

/ja "Charm" <st>

It's best to stand at (H-10) facing the lakes, but don't stand too far away from the lakes. Also, you may also need to press your arrow keys to look around you because the Torrent may spawn a little far away from you.

(I have camped this guy for a couple of days and I have NEVER seen it spawn down the cliff...)

I have killed Hoo Mjuu the Torrent one time and I now have the signa :)

Good luck to all of you who are trying to get this signa!(The Monster Signa has a HORRIBLE drop rate)

warrior or beast subs are NOT needed for this NM. i'm a RDM50/THF25 and haven't had any troubles claiming him with Dia.

Hoo Mjuu The Torrent 2/5
some tips
# Apr 22 2005 at 11:51 PM Rating: Decent
the trick to this guy is to be consistant even with the new spawn area pick a spot you like and dont give up. im 5/15 with this guy and for all you 50+ blm you have an trup card. this guys droop rate is defently better if killed befor using bendiction. i have first hand experance all 5 form freez spell kills well hope this can keep you all motavated.

i know my spelling suck ><
possibilities...

alright, just recently a friend and i got wrapped up in a heated argument as to whether or not a well equipped 17rng/8war could solo Hoo Mjuu the Torrent with 2 hour and 300% tp available (and with a few potions handy). Have any of you got the answer? i've witnessed lvl 20-24's kill him with relative ease (one of those being a whm).

he argued that it is immpossible, whereas i said that it might be possible with all of the abovementioned circumstances. am i wrong? please, any comments are welcomed! thanx ^^
RE: possibilities...
# Jun 10 2005 at 6:55 AM Rating: Decent
I pwned him as lvl18 pld so probably! ;)
Hit invincible near the end of the fight, but didnt really have to - just to be on the safe side!
It was a pain in the *** when he kept healing ><
...but apart from that, a very easy kill! =P
Blah
# Apr 20 2005 at 8:55 PM Rating: Decent
2/29 on him.. got my first signa on the 19th kill =X.. a little advice, dont try to spam claim, use radar. Especially since they changed his spawn from the "Stump" thing to the path leading to the votary and such.
Shame.
# Apr 18 2005 at 6:34 PM Rating: Good
0/11. Spawned at the stump-type thing near cave every time I saw it pop.

# Apr 18 2005 at 9:55 AM Rating: Decent
Since the update they have changed the spawn areas of alot of NM's. Some changes are good but others are not ^^. This NM hasn't dropped one yet for me, Was camping today and killed it 3 times only zealots mitts :)

Have never seen him spawn down the cliff since i have been camping him. But who knows since SE likes to change things a lot.
