Just fought him yesterday. I was power leveling a friend when another friend came to farm Ram Skins. And in just secs, he sees Steelfleece Baldrich and he attacked it. He's a lv 60 thf. He was gong to warp because he was low in hp. He told me to meet him at Craig. As I was running to Craig, i see him and casted Cure 4 on him(me=lv 64 rdm). I got hate and he invited me into pt. I was tanking till he was half life, we were doing good, but was wearing down until he invited a whm lv 64 i think. Then we took it down with np, i was doing good at tank, he was doing good with Dancing Edge. I subbed War by the way and used Vorpal Blade on him, was decent dmg too. It was lots of fun. No drop >< but idc, i got title. So this NM is not so tough, it only hit me with 30-80 dmg and when Mighty Strikes, it did only 130- dmg.

GL on drop. one day i will get his drop
NOT 24-27

A lot of websights say his pop time is 24-27 hours. It is not. I watch him get killed one day. went back about 22 hours later. stayed until about 28 hours later. we had several people with us all widecanning the whole time (killed rampaging ram twice) and we killed all placeholders as soon as they popped. No steelfleece pop. thought id share.

Solo'd this big guy on 75Whm/37Bst. Got 2 hexa strikes in when I realized I was going to need Spirit Taker. Keeping SS/Blink/Aquaveil up and Slow/Paralyze I whacked away at it with my staff. He only got a few good hits in when SS/Blink wore at same time. He used Mighty Strikes 3 times and for the most part it didn't hit me. Towards the end of the half hour fight he used that max hp down move. I erase but my mp was just above 100 and spirit taker not ready so I 2hr'd. Five minutes later this ugly ram died and all i got was a skin and rampaging horn which I didn't need.

Going to go after him again. I want this shield.

I half soloed it last night as 72RDM/BLM, and by half i don't mean duoed, I soloed him to 50% health without ever even getting into the yellow, without casting a cure spell (<3 drain) and still had about as much MP as I started with (<3 Refresh too) about that point though, a 75 RDM from my LS shows up and we both beat him into the ground.
I could have very easily finished him off by myself, his normal hits we hitting about 15-20 through phalanx whenever Stoneskin was down, and his Crits (about 80-90% of his attacks) were hitting about 60-80 through Phalanx. This thing has horrendous accuracy, I never once got interupted in a spell, he never hit me more than once during the casting of Stoneskin (Still a pretty long spell, even with Fast Cast IV) even though he seemed to be attacking incredibly fast.
Got the drop and the title, 2mil split 3 ways between myself, the other RDM, and the LS member that happened to be going through Konschtat and gave us the heads up. Needless to say, she was very happy to recieve 670k just for being in the right place at the right time. (Kinda like when gil sellers died fighting Amemet and me and my friends claimed it at 5% and finished it off)

leveling SMN in konstacht, and while fighting a bee i heard a ram behind me so i started running out of the area so i wouldnt die. lo and behold i see that its not just a tremor, or even rampaging, but steelfleece himself.

told my ls and a 60mnk said he wanted to try and fight it, meanwhile i attack at is an 11smn to death warp, and change to whm.

tele back out and group up with the 60mnk, and a 54whm. the fight was about 5 minutes or so, only real scary moment was when the mnk got hit with the hp down move. shield didnt drop unfortunetly.
Fun Filled day lol

I was questing my purple belt to then do brown belt MNK50/RNG8. Had ranger for widescan to get a jump on Rampaging Ram, when i see a name "Steelface Baldarich". Was with my friend mnk as well lvl 35 at the time (still considers me his sensei lol).So I decided what the hell, had never heard of him and I told my friend I was gonna take him to see how tough he was, I knew he was tough but I just hundred fist and Raging Fist his *** and he was toast.....NOT lol. The guy absolutely violated me, made me cry like a little girl lol. After i died, i tell him to look for more people cause i wanted some payback. What happened next was hillarious, i told him to get lvl 60+ ppl but he only got more 50's. You could see them facing it and running like scolded dogs, it went like this for like an hour, died twice ;;. "All i wanted was my Rampaging Horn and look at what i got myself into", those were the words that I kept repeating, till a group fought it and took like only a quarter of his hp. I then leader of an alliance of 2 parties allready, told that party to tell me who was there leader to make a third alliance. His an S.O.B im talking 3 alliances of all lvl 50+ except for my pupile lvl 30+, "No time to argue" i said to that party. Finally a third alliance was made and we started on him yet again. This time around we all brought our A game, since we knew what he was really like. Did an HP down wich left me from over 1k of hp down to 200+hp. Finally after a long, hard and probably the most exciting battle i ever had, we beat the ****** 100% drop so that means Viking Shield, on my first attempt. Bad thing was nobody let me have the horn wich was neccesary for my purple quest, and i didnt get that, nor the shield, I was so piseed at pty for not letting me have the horn. But the guy who got the shield told me he would help me get it again. A week later there I was hunting Rampagin Ram,last horn to get belt,and i see steelface unclaimed yet again. Called the guy and set up an alliance but before we could start a lvl 75 nin/thf got him. I told the ninja to let me in his party so i could have the horn and to my surprise he accepted it.So long story short fought it twice got drop once and got my Horn and now i have the belt wich i will sell ^^. Anyway im 1/2 on him in Hades so if u read this hope it helps and if u want to hunt this NM give me a /tell "Lemois" (my name in Hades).By the time u people read this ill allready be higher with almost full AF ^^. Happy Hunting guys :)

Actually, the Viking shield is *not* a 100% drop rate. As far as I've heard/seen, the horn is 100% though. ^^
RE: Fun Filled day lol
# Dec 07 2005 at 6:15 PM Rating: Decent
Actually if u read it more closeyl i stated that the drop itself was 100% so that MEANS viking shield droped. I was refering to Steelface's drop on that particular time wich droped everything. Thats why it was 100%. Sorry if I didn't make it clear. BTW just fought it again as a MNK71 with AFv2 Boots with enhances counterstance and used 2hour at first and it was easy pickings ^^. Truly an awesome fight, unfortunately it didn't drop this time ; ; ohh well happy hunting to everyone and again sry for mixup. :)

Well, it popped 6.5hrs after maint. the other day. I've waited up to 9hrs at one point without ever seeing it. I'm not exactly sure what repop is, but the window is deffinatly long. At least 7hrs for sure. I'm a fraction from certain that it is indeed a lottory pop off of the Rampaging Rams, that are lottory off of the Tremor Rams. I saw two Rampaging Rams. The first about 4.5hrs after servers reset, the second an hour later. Another hour later Steelfleece. He isn't entirely difficult to fight, not a walk in the park though. The HP down is deffinatly the hardest part. It doesn't hit entirely hard, but Mighty Strikes will change that and it does use it a lot. I soloed it once as 75 THF/RNG pretty much naked but it was a pretty hard struggle. I had equiped a Kraken club, Velocity bow, THF AF boots, and used bloody, blind, and acid bolts. He got some good hits in on me, especially with Mighty Strikes up. Utsusemi or a way of curing yourself is a must. I've lost count at how many times I've killed this. Still no shield. I'ma try bloodtear now.

Whee catched this "little" guy today in one of my new endaveours to solo things.

Got my WHM to 74 yesterday and since my NIN is 56 it's obviously a up to par sub with Utsusemi:Ni ready.

Camp for about 2½hours then he pops, and I pretty much own this guy, fight would take quite a while since WHM doesn't really dish out damage I can admit that but it was definately fun experience and I'm going to try get it tomorrow again, this time bringing a juice or two just incase.

In this fight I got "help" after about 10minutes of fighting, mostly because 2 LS members showed up and wanted the title while 2 others just wanted to help since I promised one of them I would give him the horn, which he now got with a cool title ^-^.

WHM74/NIN37 for the win!

Like Most NMs with a 24+ HR spawn time, I am sure the respawn is 24-27 HRs after ToD

I.E. 3 HR window.

Met this guy 2 times while hunting Rams in the last 2 weeks. First time I was hunting on my 45 THF and called for the help of my LS. 3 showed up: level 75 Monk, 75 BLM, 67 THF, and me, 45 THF =P.

The THF showed up first and grabbed the claim and we (heh, he is more like it) went to duoing it. I couldn't really even hit it with my sword but my SA's would do 150+ damage though. But I did gain a skill level in sword skill on him!

Anyway, the THF held him at bay until the 2 75's arrived and then we proceeded to mow him down pretty quickly. Best part is he dropped the shield at the end which sold for a cool 1.2 million for a 300k profit for all 4 of us.

The last time we killed him was just a few days ago. I had just walked into Konchestat Highlands and hit scan on my 52 RNG and he was there beside the Crag. I call for help from the LS and thankfully there was a whole party of my LS already together hunting for a DRK's testimony so the WHM in the party Tele-Dem'ed them there within' 2 minutes of me calling him unclaimed.

As soon as I saw they were porting, I Shadowbinded him which surprisingly lasted a good 2-3 minutes even at my level and then kind of kited him until the 75 NIN in the group voked him off me and it was on! This time is was total ownage because like 9 people showed from the LS and most were 70+.

Best of all, he dropped the Viking Shield AGAIN! So, after selling it again for another cool 1.2 million split 9 ways, I still netted 130k for about 5 minutes of work (quite fun work actually).

I would say a 50+ person would have no problems adding good damage to this guy. At 52 I was hitting him for 160+ damage per arrow with my War Bow +1 and IRON ARROWS and only one Hawkers knife because I had THF subbed for Treasure Hunter. No food either and I still hit 75% of my shots I would say.

I hunt Rams alot and I still can't get a hold on what this guys pop time is. People say it is 21-24 hours but I don't buy it. I think it more like Argus in a 18-36 hour spawn because he seems to show up at just random times. Good luck to all others!

2/2 on Steelfleece's Viking Shield!
:OO

2 nights ago one of my friends was farming rams and seen that steel fleece popped, so i changed to my blm 33 (to warp back to jeuno) to watch and see if anyone is gonna take him. All of a sudden another one of my friends (65 brd) and his 63 ninja friend show up and invite us. The Ninja tanked it no problem and with the rest of us (scattered levels) mostly 30's helped as much as we could. Killed him no problem. I'll say one thing, its funny to see a rank 2 lvl 21 warrior with "The Hornsplitter" title.

oh yeah.. no drop.

yeah... I was able to solo Tremor Rams as low as level 26 with a WAR and a RDM, but a WHM is another story altogether. I had friends who were level 35 WHMs who hunted rams but certainly did not have an easy time taking them down.

When I was a PLD at level 43, a level 42 DRG in my LS and I would duo up on the lower NM rams while the LS looked on.

I remember fleeing for my life from Bloodtear at level 38 though ^^
