Here's my tale of the BB.

My friend stopped lvlin his monk cuz it was hella xpensive. After being called Gimp for too long, he decided to hell with it. Time to get my BB and stop the ridicule.

I went along as my 55THF/WAR to help, cuz he deserves the belt so much. I claimed Morbolger in a room of 15 campers, had time to walk up to morbolger and voke from across the room ^^ My mnk pal gets vine

Feeling good we head out for Nue. We get there and withing 10 mins, Nue pops. I claim Nue, and the Fang drops ^^. My mnk pal gets fang.

Feeling too good to be true we run out to the Saur..... whutever, to try for Deadly Dodo. We get out there. 5 mins later, Dodo pops. Rdm pal that joined us claims, I kill. No drop =(
We stick around for another hr, Dodo pops. I claim and kill. Skin drops. My mnk pal gets the skin.

So within a matter of 4 hrs from spawn of Morbolger, my mnk pal is now the proud owner of his very own Brown Belt =) With a very good boost to my NM list =)

So now I'm:
1/1 Claim on Morbolger (drop doesnt count think it's 100%)
1/1 Claim/Drop on Nue
1/2 Claim/Drop on Deadly Dodo

Don't mean to rub it in, but I needed to get it out as im Still 0/37 on LL =(
Camping Tips

I just camped this (******* Sword) for two days, so I'll give some of my tips (I went 1/9 on this).

Some people will say there is 1 place holder (Tiger) but there very well may be 2. Usually there's only 1 tiger around the tower.

Once you kill the place holder tiger, add 2 hours and 5 minutes (2:05) Vanadal time (Say it's 14:35 vana time, add 2:05 to get 16:40). This is the time I found it took for the place holder to respawn (This is very useful if there's competition).

Good luck and happy campin!

I just got the Nue fang about 5 minutes ago and wanted to add my imput so no one has to go thru what i did -.- It's best to have thf subbed or thf main for campin this for flee as well as treasure hunter. I camped it by myself and went 0/6, but tonight I had a thf 69 help me out and got it in 2 fights. GET A HIGH LVL THF TO HELP, It's almost a waste of time if not. so all in all i went 1/8.

After long hours on this, I've found a couple flaws. THERE IS ONLY 1 PH. Another tundra tiger might spawn, but he makes no difference. The PH will always spawn 2:08 after eachother and will eventually be Nue. I would sometimes use this to my advantage as well. When there were other campers, I would kill the fake PH a few seconds before PH pop and they would go after the fake PH while I Flee and got Nue. (One guy was really pissed that happened lol) All in all this one was pretty easy and fun compared to the others, since theres a tiger to kill every once in a while and you can steal mithral coins from the Gobbies while you wait hehe. Happy Hunting and Good Luck!!
will this ever drop?

I'm 0/6 on this beast now! Grrrr!!! But one thing I've noticed is that he tends to pop once each hour. I did have one spawn that took 2.5 hours though.... but generally speaking all the others have been around 1 hour.

I've had the camp all to myself recently and I did have a funny incident just this morning. Some high levels will pass through the camp to reach Pso'Xja. As I was camping Nue spawned just as a high level was passing thru. He claimed it and I was sick! So I did a /cry emote in front of him and he disengaged from the mob and zoned into Pso'Xja!!! Nue followed him to the iron gate in the tunnel of course, so I decided to wait before casting Utsusemi in case those Living Dolls in the tower agged Utsusemi magic.

That wait cost me another claim because another high level followed the first through and he claimed Nue from me!!! So I did another /cry emote and guess what? He did exactly the same as the first guy!!! lmao! I sent them both /tells afterwards thanking them for releasing the NM for me. :)


EDIT: At last!!! I got the drop so that's 1/7 for me now. Just a couple of points that may be of interest. Firstly this seventh pop took absolutely ages to come round. Over 3 hours easy. And secondly this was the first time I killed Nue when Dark weather was up. If that has any bearing on the drop I do not know. I can't really see SE making a drop that needs such a rare combo of NM up with certain type of weather, but you never know. ;)

0/8 now myself, with only TH1 on... I've gotten a terrible pop rate to boot, yesterday I went a full 3 1/2 hours without a Nue sighting >< today has been better at around 60-90 mins per. As far as /thf and stealing bst coins... just killing tigers I've gotten somewhere in the range of 70 fangs (as I said, low pop rate for me on NM ; ;) and over 2 stacks of leather. The prices on said items, and the occasional support of passers by, keeps me sane in this godforsaken deathhole...

I just wanted to put in my 2 cents really fast. This guy has a really crappy drop rate but luckily (unlike DD) he pops in a fairly small area. So sub thf and not rng, Treasure Hunter is more useful than widescan here. Also, if u steal from gobs while your waiting you can get a ton of mythril beastcoins^^. I'd rather come back with a stack of coins and no fang than nothing at all.
So Annoying...

I swear, I camped this stupid tiger for at least 4 hours (more like 5-5.5 I think) before he finally popped. I was praying the whole fight, and thankfully, he dropped the damn fang. so 1/1 on both the skin and fang now in one night; just need to find out Morbolger's ToD now. >.<;;
drop rate better then 3 hours

I dont know if im the only one but ive been camping this guy for 2 days now and i log on to find a mnk camping it so to be nice i go AFK and come back to watch mnk kill it.

After one hour from the TOD from the last mnk killing it NUE pops thinking it must be a fluke pop . So i dia and stoneskin phalix haste bla bla bla kill kill kill nue but no drop SOB I hate this guy 0/4 at this point. so i go back to clearing out the area and makeing good gil doing it too made 8k from killing gobbies + all the items im getting droped . Anywaz thinking i had another hour or so left b4 next pop i go afk and come back to the nue running around me look at clock one hour from last the TOD>>> THATS TWO POPS IN TWO HOURS WTF but i grabed him and damn it no drop again 0/5. SO after this im thinking the more i kill the faster he pops and i mean everything in that area gobbies ,tigers ,dolls ... after another hour im waiting for him this time nothing >... gos to 2 hours nothing >>>>going on 3 hours since my last TOD ....nada and now 3 mnks show up to try for him >> so I gave up for the night.

one time i acutually counted how many PH's I killed after I killed Nue. I killed 19, and after that he popped. That was about a 2 hour spawn... if that helps at all, there you go :)

Drop rate is truly awful . . .
# Sep 08 2005 at 4:35 PM Rating: Decent
Just killed him again. . . 0/15 ; ; I wonder if the drop rate goes down when you get Nue Fang as your last item . . . 'course when you go 0/15 all kinds of superstitions tend to pop into your head. People say subbing THF helps? I heard it doesn't affect rare drops. . . my drk/thf buddy got it on his 4th try and another monk I know went 0/6 with warrior subbed... changed to /thf and got it first kill. Coincidence...?

Do you have to kill tigers in the area for it to spawn?

Nue was... frustration in tiger form.

Monk was level 39. I hadn't even thought about my Brown Belt yet. I'd gotten the purple, that was cool. I'm farming ***** in Saurumogue one day, and lo, thus pops Deadly Dodo. I get the claim, get the drop, done and done. At this point I wonder why I hadn't thought of doing this before. I'm a 60 Thief, this should be easy. So I take a quick trip to Beaucedine. After about an hour (every pop was after an hour of killing PHs, it seems) of killing, Nue pops. I say to myself "Awesome, almost done already." He dies like the ***** (cat) he is, but only drops a tiger skin. I shrug and equip my Warp Cudgel. Ten or so minutes later I'm entering Ordelle's Caves. I wait around for about 2 hours of kills on Stropers, then think to myself "Hey.. I have an idea," and log out.
Next morning I get up at 7am. I had logged out in Morbolger's spawn area. I kill a Stroper, waste some time, come back 10 minutes later. "Oh look, Morbolger. *Kill*" Drop. Celebration.
At this point I feel pretty confident. I go back to Beaucedine. ******* pops again. Still nothing. At this point I'm a little frustrated, but overall I'm satisfied I got the other two items with little trouble.
Two weeks later, when my Monk is level 43, 11 kills after I first hunted him... he drops the fang. And I celebrate. And have a pretty new belt.

Moral of the story? **** Nue.

btw the morolborger is a 21-24 hour pop. stropers arent PH for him... you got really lucky to be there at right time^^

btw Molborger is 21-24 spawn, true, but the Stropers are PH for him, just like the HNM rams in Konschtat and La Theine. The 'NQ' rams are PH for the NM rams which the HNM rams are a rare spawn of them.
RE: (|Full Attack!|)
# Oct 19 2005 at 1:56 PM Rating: Decent
There is no way stropers are PH for Molborger. I was camping him w/ some competition (a 75 rdm). I was running around claiming the Stropers, only one spawns in the area, and was wondering why he wasnt doing the same. Well, eventually i go fight a stroper and then i read "xxxx hits Molborger for xx damage...". If he were PH there is no way he could have spawned while i was fighting the other Stroper.

Also ive noticed that when 1 Tundra tiger pops, 2 Statues pop and vice versa. I think statues have something to do w/ tiger pops.

7hrs of camping, 1 spawn, no drop. ><
I had a 55 RNG & 50 WHM/25 THF for 6 of those hours (thank you Fistandiflis & Kaeyana) then a friendly SMN 68 Candace? nabbed Nue (after raising me, too) for me while i was afk, she said it spwaned right in front of the door. There was no other competition at all for the whole friggin time, and the 3 of us wiped the place clean the whole time of gobs & Tigers... so I can't explain 1 spawn for 7 hrs.

im currently a pld 71 on fairy server who has been campin nue for 2 days now. camped him like 10 hrs straight and got evry single spawn but no drop. my monk is at 44 atm and would like this belt but im not payin 1.5 mil. the tiger does spawn evry 2 hrs upon killin place holders the tundra tiger .. and to answer ur question for the monk 51. i believe u can solo nue but i would take a friend b/c while u wait.. u might get bored and fight gobs there but u will get agro.. from links.so im not sure if u can take 2-3 gobs and live.well thats my 2 cents on campin nue.. dont understand y this drop rate sucks so bad.. deadly duo was ez
Would I be alright?
# Aug 15 2005 at 1:36 AM Rating: Decent
ok, i camped dodo for about 2 days (not consecutively) and after the 4th claim i got the skin. I'm a 51MNK and wanna know if i'd be ok against the Nue on my own. I had enough trouble with Dodo cause i had to sub RNG. I am just not paying that much for a belt, I don't care if it's good. $.$ broke ; ;
So, am I ok soloing at 51MNK? not thinking drop rate wise
yes!

Nue is a lottery pop whose placeholder is the sole Tundra Tiger in this area.

While camping, i killed nothing but the Tundra Tiger.
Nue appeared when the Tundra Tiger was due to pop.
When Nue appeared, the tiger did not.

Note that there is a goblin beastmaster here who calls a tiger as a pet. This is NOT a placeholder. Ignore him.

Average time to spawn out of three kills so far has been 1.5 - 2 RL hours.

Placeholder tiger respawns 2 game hours from time of death.

I obtained Nue Fang on the 6th kill. Camped him with my RDM53/BLM26 and had to constantly kill the easy prey goblins surrounding the tiger spawn so as to avoid aggro while fighting Nue. By the 6th kill I had died only once, gained over 2k exp (more than that before death x.x), farmed a couple stacks of fire crystals and black tiger fangs, and russled up 20 beastmen seals.

the last time I camped him alongside one high lvl pld competitor and mostly stayed invisible so I could grab Nue more easily. Nue finally spawned near the pld and I, but a tundra tiger spawned at the same exact moment. I thought that tundra tiger was the only placeholder...

anyways, g'luck and happy camping ^^
