I have given up on hunting NM's because of this guy. There is always at least 2 other people there when I get there, and I have killed him 12 times with NO DROP
No luck

Me (RDM 30/WHM 11) and my friend (WHM 40/BLM 17) went and hunted him today. He arrived shortly before I did, notifying me that there were two other people camping, but eventually they left and didn't come back. Two minutes after I arrived, my WHM friend went out to kill stuff while we waited, and as soon as he went out of sight, Crypt Ghost appeared. Hitting F8 and my Dia Macro in a fraction of a second, I attacked it, and told him to come. I got off a few hits one him when he arrived, he used Seraph Strike, doing around 100 damage, and I Skillchained off it with Burning Blade, doing 90, and killing him. All we got was a Cotton Cloth though :\. Afterward, we left to camp Goblin's Gruel, but waiting there for an hour and a half, we decided to leave, as he didn't spawn.
beautiful

this ghost is beautiful! i love him! he is the kind of thing that makes me love ffxi the way i do. and it isnt that i am majorly successful on the drop. i am 1/7 i think with him. but i love the CG because he has a normal spawn rate, an even drop rate, and drop sells for decent gil. he spawns once almost one time every game day... usually about 27 game hrs after his last death (if u keep the bats dead). he is a lot of fun to camp, good setup and good drop. anyone starting to camp mobs for gil, this is a good place to start. hope this was helpful! ^^
yay!

I went in the room as a lvl 45 sam/war, waited for about a half hour, ghost spawned right next to me so i voked it beating about 2 other people. I hit him twice and used tachi: enpi and he died....and i got the slacks. Yay! My first try too.

I alwas come to wait for him after the night is over. I claimed him 5 out of 5 times because I was the only camper.^^ I only one drop, ONE! So I'm guessing the drop rate is low
RE: Pants
# Jul 04 2004 at 7:23 PM Rating: Decent
if uwgot it 1 out of 5, its not too bad from what I have seen of NMs, i also hunt after night is over. stole it from a lvl 61 pld today ^^ no drop still
no drop
# Jul 04 2004 at 7:58 AM Rating: Decent
As I said it the other thread, it really doesn't matter to me whether they are NMs or not ^^

Anyways started doing spook yesterday, came to this in the breaks. Got it 2 out of 2 spawns, no drop yet other than lumincloth.
Not NM
# Jun 25 2004 at 3:23 PM Rating: Decent
The Crypt Ghost, the Goblin Gruel, and the Spook are NOT NMs. They are just over camped MOBs that drop good-to-sell items (I just got done camping the Spook for about 3 weeks strait...needed new armor badly).

Also, I'm sorry if this is a repeat but I just wanted to clearify that those are not NMs at all. (Hope this doesn't sound mean, and very sorry if it does.)

I had never come to the tomb before last weekend and even then, I had no map. So I completed the map quest and decided to go sight seeing w/ my 26BST.

I wandered about aimlessly, clueless of any NMs that may spawn herein b/c I'm from Windurst and have had no reason to come here.

Along the way, I noticed on widescan, "Tomb Bat".

Out of curiosity, I ventured to where this Bat was located and within this room, I see about 6 Anons statnding about, and so I say

"hmm, a room full of Anons, anyone feel like explaining what happens here?"

Immediately, I am beset by a string of "so and so examines you" but no one explains anything, so I began examining them in return and I see a fellow BST, lvl 26.

I /tell the BST and he explains this is where the Crypt Ghost spawns, he also tells me of the Martial Slack drop & offers a partnership, to which, I agree.

No more than 5 mins later, I was spamming my Charm macro and WHAM, "Crypt Ghost is bound".

Long story short, I did get the Martial Slacks. The other BST and I split 30K and he showed me the location of Goblin Gruel & Spook....drops from all 3.

All in all, a very lucrative 1 1/2 hr period for someone previously ignorant to it all.

Each tomb bat will respawn (to 5 game minutes error) 3:30 game hours/minutes after its death. So, if you kill all 3 bats at once, it is very easy to know when you can relax and when you should be spamming your Provoke macro.

The ghost tends to spawn about 24 game hours after its last spawn, but since this is a lottery pop it won't always be exact. Start looking for it at each spawn after 24 game hours pass from its last death.

Good luck!

When i check the stats of the mob before the fight it reads: "to weak to be worthwhile", i thought that means its just a regular mob. was there an update recently which changed its status, or drops?. i hope not. ive killed it twice and got the root. hope im not camping it for nothing. thanks for any info ^^

The lowdown on Crypt Ghost

I love camping Crypt Ghost. I do it all the time, and I've got him pretty well figured out.

The bats in the tomb are placeholders for the Ghost, he spawns instead of one of them. They respawn every 3-4 game hours. I've seen no set pattern in bat spawns that indicates the Ghost will spawn soon. The bats do not all spawn at once but they all spawn in a fairly short period of time.

My suggestion, if you have competition, stay near the far end of the crypt. I have seen the Ghost spawn towards the back and middle of the room more than anywhere else. He will usually spawn once a game day, and if he doesn't spawn in one day, stick around - he will show up soon.

hehe funny story... u hear about people dieing fighting it at lvl 28-30 and i can say it does happen... and i have... i was camping it for about 5 hours killed it many times no drop just roots... cotton... anyways i was there alone killing off bats (witch check at easy at lvl 30) theses bats take a bit of time to kill even longer for the lower lvls... anyways im there killing bats at game time 22:40 then all of the suddon it pops... and u know that feeling you get once u see that nm just sitting there with nowon atacking, and you know your luck ; if you take your time and finish off killing the bat that u atacked the CG will already be killed... so u dont wana take that chance not knowing how much HP or MP u have left u disengage (while the bat is still on you) and atack the CG now you have both a tomb bat AND the CG atackign you... this is was happend to me i got the bat down to 3/4 hp b4 i started to fight the cg so i couldnet kill the bat fast enough i knew i was dead 0/250 MP and hp was below 100...... i died with the CG at ATLEST 10 hp... in a panick i went back to my HP (sandy) took a bird to the tomb ran like a **** to the crypt got there and it was STILL there ::sigh of reliefe:: now with HP and MP to max i owned the cg and got a root and the pants :)

I was looking up notorius monsters to fight when i saw this 1. I saw lvl 20-21 so i decided to fight it. I read the other posts and saw how a lvl 30 warrior died. I dont know how he could possibly have died because im lvl 23blm/11whm and killed it. Shure it wasnt easy and i used my 2 hour but accomplished what i set out to do with no help what so ever. It also droped slacks first time!

Erg, it killed me on my lvl 30 war -.-

I was leveling up H2H which was only lvl 12 at the time >_> I was doing like 3 dmg a hit.

Some jackass PLD stood next to me the whole time telling me to disengage and he'll heal me. Right before i died i called for help, i dont know if that screwed him or not but i hope it did...

I got the Ghost and the slacks on my first attempt. Even had some competition in a 45 THF(who said she'd killed him at 21:00 the day before, no drop). This was the first time I've ever seriously camped something, actually. Also got some Battle Gloves from the chest in the same room.

I hadn't been to the Tomb since the quest to gather evidence, so I really just came to scope things out. Walked out about 30k richer.

I was a 33PLD/16WAR.
