As far as I know Leech King has nothing to do with Argus. What I've heard is that Argus pops every 24 hours (Earth hours) in the Iron Door room, and has no place holders.

But then again, a lot of other people believe Agus only spawns after Leech is killed. /shrug

well many people bot both of them. now how their timers work leech kind and Argus is 15hr shifts. one will pop in that time and the other wont. now lets say argus pop's leech king will not pop. and the same thing if leech king pops, argus wont. that is what makes their pop time so hard to keep track of. there is no way to tell if the other was killed. unless you bot camp one or something >.<. anyways that is what i no to be true. happy camping w
When i say 15hr's i mean 23hr's after TOD that is. their pop time is 15hrs long.

I'm told by many many people that Argus and leech king are very related. I'm told if one spawns and is killed then the others clock is reset

I'm taru thf45/rng22 with bloody bolts, and i had him down to less than half health by myself with negligable damage to me, before my friends joined in. Both times that i have seen him he has been in the corner of the room, so if you can keep him up against a wall so he doesn't link you will be fine.

You'd have a hard time. All the other leeches in room would link and eventually kill u. So if u do hunt it, clear the room first.

OK i am stupid!!!

I was camping Argus because i was bored and waiting for a party. SO, i was tired and was going to warp to Jueno. But, i go lets take a walk through to see if the Leech King is up. then there he is stariing at me. No one is around. So here is the stupid part. I hit my pull macro and bam hit hit with a sleeep arrow. Then the whole room full of leeches attacks. So, it is now 20 on 1. I am like that didnt go well. So i hit invinc and start beating them down. Hit Circle Blade and then biuld tp hit circle blade. it is now me and 5 leeches and i am fight Leech King now. I kill him and the last 5 leeches and earing drops. i am 168/1158 HP but i still have 150mp didnt use it. very bad idea to pull leech in that room they all will attack you. My evasion saved my butt. The kick was i got this earing going ok maybe this is woth 50k that would be cool. Then i go to AH and whatttttttt!!!!!!!!! 700k holy s**t well that is my story

Get this. I have the TOD of argus on Midgardsormr. (my secret). well i was spamming like crazy for a few hours. and then i decided to change my macro for a sec. and right when i stoped spaming... he spawns. OMG i was so pissed. Some JP botter got it /cry and he sat there for a few hours before he left. i wish i didn't stop spamming. If i only waited a few more secs. oh well i still have the TOD. anyway i'm going back to my hunting. I need to get a VC ˆ•ˆ

14hours over due

Check This Out. I was watching the logging patterns of a *** bot that has been camping the Leech King since i started playing the game a year ago. He always logged on about 9pm and logged out between 12:30 and 4am. This lead me to believe the Leech King spawned every 24 hour within that time period. Well yesterday when i logged on at 9pm he was in the maze of shakera and when i logged out he was still there. I check first thing in the morning and my *** bot was still sticking it out. So i dicided to set up camp next to the bot and waited til i had to go to work. I left my PS2 on and told my wife to waste the Leech King if he spawns while im at work. I called every couple of hours to see if the bot was still there, and he was. Once i got my lunch break i went home to camp the Leech King so more, at this point he was 14 hour over due. I had no luck during break and was about to go back to work when i did one last search through the mass poison leechs and boom "LEECH KING" right there. Me and the bot both were sitting beside the thing for atleast a couple of minutes. Ether way i cut through him like butter and got the drop, sold it for 600K two days later. First time a bot ever did anything for me. lol ^^

Spawn info
# Nov 01 2004 at 10:08 PM Rating: Decent
What I have gotten from my camping of the NM and from what Argus campers have said, Leech King and Argus' spawns are directly related. Only one of them will spawn every 21-36 hours.

I was also told that the spawn time is counted from the last death of the two NMs. I have solo'd Leech King twice as a lvl 46 drk/thf (also a Taru). I usually can wait until he moves where there will only be two or three links.

So far I am 0/2 and I'm not so sure I will being going back since the history says there has only been 1 sale in the past three months. Hope this helps for anyone wanting to camp it and feel free to correct any of this info that is wrong.
Great place for rubys

I went to Shakrami Maze with two others to help a friend with her rse. All four of us were killing the high lvl gobs and labrynth scorps and were not getting the chest key, so we decided to try to camp the leech king. We went through the poison leeches like they were nothing, cleared the room several times. after 5 hours we still hadn't seen the NM, but we had got 2 rubys, and that was without a thf in the pt^^
King
# Oct 06 2004 at 6:28 PM Rating: Decent
Soloed him and 10 of his friends at same time with no problem, 55 thf/war
Got the drop and sold for 700k even though I wouldnt pay more than 3k for it.
Didnt know it was so valuable until 3 days later after I got it.

Its a paladin dream earring, highest HP of any earring available, other than a Pigeon+1. And endgame PLD need to go CRAZY on HP, cause the gods/hnms hit for too much damage at a time for any other earring to be useful.

My Linkshell and I camp this every now and then. Once spent 5 hours there with no pop. It gets old so we left. But on Gilgamesh there are 4 bots in argus room at all times. Dont even bother with it anymore. I can stay that if you are trying to help someone get a Carbuncle ruby this is the best place to get it. I have never been in there more then a hr without getting atleast one ruby. We have gotten 3 or 4 in an hour before.
No Drop

I went to exploring one day, hope to see argus if no one was at camp, lol. but there were 3 ppl camping it, without warrior sub there was no way I'll get the pop, so I left to kill leechs for blood, after I clear the room full of leechs I went back to check on argus ;p , 10 mins later when I came back to search the room there he was THE LEECH KING, I pulled and killed him, no drop, no blood, no nothing >_<

until this day I still wondering would I be 800k richer if i had sub THF.

Me and my buddy were camping Argus and suddenly my buddy runs off.. They were a Ranger. About a minute later he comes back with a claimed Leech King and about 20 Poison leeches. All the people sitting and Voking didn't like that very much. =]

Killed it and about 5 other leeches with a 50-RNG/WAR-??? And me a lvl 48-THF/WAR-10.

My reccomendaton:

When you got 15 unclaimed pissed off leeches packed in a small area don't use the Dagger Weaponskill Cyclone...
I ended up using 2 X-potions and my buddy use one.

To the best of my knowledge, the King is linked to Argus. Same spawn time, if one pops, the other won't. Hence why you can camp Argus or the King beyond their spawn time without them showing at all.
i camped
# Jul 01 2004 at 8:46 AM Rating: Decent
I camped for 4 hous last night.

Solo this NM at 50 i think is safe.
