Camped for five or six hours, never spawned.
Went to sleep and left my character in the room to get ToD.
There's so much conflicting info on respawn times online (Anywhere from 5-18 hours...), so I headed back 8 hours after ToD.
12 hours after ToD, it finally spawned. Called NPC out to be safe, popped a Fish Mithkabob (What can I say, I like to be cautious), and started beating him down.
He used EES... Hit me a little under 350. <.< So that comment below about 1800+ or whatever is either a blatant lie, or the fool had Counterstance up (Which is pretty damned stupid against something you KNOW is gonna use a strong attack).
MNK75/THF.
Some EXP, some gil (Forgot to mug in the excitement, damn!), two iron ores, antican robe, and the bow. ^^

i been camping this NM for 26 hours, first pop took 14 and 1/2 hours. went to sleep for 4 hours, woke up to try camping again... its 16 hours and a half past the first pop, i doubt it popped during the 4 hours i was sleeping. so whats going on? well for one..... the maximum spawn is wrong. and i wouldn't trust anyone's minimum time at this point either.
at this point if i ever pop this thing and still need the bow im not coming back for at least 12 hours..
i could say its a waste of time.. but i got some nice drops and decent drops for some decent gil farming so meh.. but the spawn times are definitely inaccurate.
update: popped after 18 hours.

There are several misleading posts here.
I have camped this NM several times.
In the large square room that has a centersquare pillar there will be, two antican BLM (Signifiers) two Antican War types (Hasticus) and one antican PLD
type (Princeps). The PLD carries a great sword and will cast typical PLD spells shell, cure, flash etc.
The PLD is the placeholder.
In this room will also spawn one helm beetle which has nothing to do with the NM.
Down each hall leading off of the room spawn one helm beetle per hall,fyi for the bst that want to camp this.
The best start is to kill all the other Antican mobs, and then the PLD, note the time. In 16 minutes either the NM will pop or a PLD placeholder.
12 hours seems to be the longest time between pops. I dont have reliable information on the shortest duration between spawns of the NM.
The bow drops about 20% of the time.
Several mobs drp Qsc coffer key which will get you a map from the coffer or about 11.9k gil. The coffers are in easy to reach ares with the exception of 2 drop downs. Helm beetles and sabotenders can be charmed. All anticans will link no mater your level if you are engaged in fighting one including the NM.
The NM is RNG and will EES. As a 75 rdm/blm I took no damage with Proc IV SS and phalanx up.
Good luck the bow is a fun toy.

Correct on the first thing, and I wouldn't know how short of time he can be popped again. As I only come back every 12-15 hours to kill him for the 3k and possible Adaman Ore. And I can usually get him to pop every 12 or so hours.

I have got a smooth 12k from a coffer there before, and they don't always give gil sometimes they will drop pretty much useless gems. But 11,990 seems to be the ceiling for the most part.
Also I seriously doubt that the Bow drops 20% of the time, but then again I already got one so I wouldn't know too much about it.

This NM is a punk compared to Centurio X-I, he was too easy. So if any 75's have a hard time with this NM, you really need to get yourself checked to see what you are doing wrong.
I as a 67 DRG/WHM smoked this NM with no problem, my only worry came from his EES, which with Stoneskin up only took half my life. No worries it was an easy fix, I SJ'd swapped from my Green Beret +1 to my AF Helm, let my Wyvern have hate for a few secs while I Dia'd him for HB III, Divine Seal+ Cure 3 and I was back up to full health. All in under 15 secs :P, and proceeded to beat him down. I didn't get the bow though, I was just trying to see if I could beat him as easily as do with Centurio X-I, and he is much easier then Centurio X-I. Also I got 5 less XP from him then I did just 10 mins earlier from Centurio X-I.
Also it should be noted that I was the one who killed the PH for about 2 hours, and came back 13 hours later to find him up^^, from the first PH kill. I have no idea how long he was up before I came to see if he was, as I was camping Centurio X-I for an hour before I got that claim and decided to peek in and see.
Also as this is my 4th Ant NM I've camped from 64-67 as a DRG, I've noticed that these NM Ants like to 2 hour rather quickly from 70%-90% health, this guy was no different he 2 houred at around 75% health. Just remember Stoneskin will save you, if you are a DRG SJ will not save you from his EES shot. It goes too quickly, and unless you are lucky when you hit SJ you aren't going to avoid his EES using it. So Stoneskin is well advised for his 2 hour. But after his 2 hour, he hit's nearly as weak as Centurio X-I so melee'ing him is easy, just like if you fought any regular ant in QSC's.

Well, I was in the QSC doing a bit of solo killing to pass the time, as a L65 SMN I was a bit annoyed when Sag popped because he made it difficult to pull the other ants around him. Eventually (he was there for over 2 hours!) I thought I would have a go. I tried to stay close and hit him so I could skill chain off my avatar, but I was not hitting him often enough to help so I retired to safe summoning distance and kitted. I didn't bother to check which would be the best avatar but I had Ifrit out so Ifrit it was. He used his mega hit twice destroying Ifrit each time, as I was at safe distance it didn't matter. I hit him with double punch every 60 seconds which did a reasonable amount of damage, but I got kinda low on MP (I only have 859 max) and I didn't have any potions or juices with me. At this point I thought 2hr, but by time I got my Astral Flow off my MP was too low so I ran in, did a quick double punch and was amazed to see him hit the dust. The summary (sorry for the pun) a level 65 summoner can solo it, maybe not easy, but no great problem. BTW I have a Loxley Bow, all I need is another 59 levels of RNG...

So your ranger is lvl negitive 3??? as the bows lvl is only lvl 57 so to lvl 59 lvls your lvling beond the lvl to use it even at lvl 1 rng. Just my two cents worth.
Life of a Monk is not all praying in temples. We beat down the forces of evil and try to protect those who may need us. Remember true power lies within and is not only the strength you have in the muscles of your body but also how you use the knowledge and wisdom you have obtained and learned from your past experiences

He didn't two hour on me, all I did was Sidewinder, Barrage, then hit him a few more times, then another sidewinder finished him off. RNG70/NIN35. Got an Antican robe, two chunks of iron ore, the bow, and several axe skill ups.
Hayt: Next thing I know, there's a lvl 75 Taru RDM looking for his pants.

Was in Quicksand caves on an NM Killing spree, and figured while I was hunting Sabotender Bailairn(NOT to be confused with Bailarina, the Duen boot NM), i figured i'd try my hand at this NM as well. I can confirm that the PH is the single Princeps in the room, as that is the only one I killed, and only once, the very next spawn Sagitarrius spawned. Unfortunately, a signifier and a hastasus linked on me, so it was a bit rougher of a fight then I had counted on, but as MNK/NIN I was still able to kill him with little to no problem. Just had to save my Ni casts for when I saw the Signifier casting Ancient Magic. Took an EES to the face for 582 Damage, dodged most of his attacks. NO drop on the Loxley bow, but I got 3x Iron ore and a Robe drop as well. Over-all a fairly easy fight for any 75 DD job that has /nin for shadows.(Or if your SAM, Seigan and Third eye would probably work nicely)
So..i been wanting to get me a loxley for awhile.I camped it before on my nine and beat it no drop.So today i go back there as 75 mnk/thf and kill the beetle first then killed the ants.On next series of pops,Sagittarius pops and i chi blasted him and this is how the fight went..
chi blast for 67
hit for 134
hit for 105
counter for 109
counter for 109
hit for 182
use dodge
hit for 135
hit for 98
use boost..asuran fist for 1219
THE Sagittarius X-XIII uses Eagle Eye Shot.
Alphamale takes 1818 points of damage
Alphamale was defeated by Sagittarius X-XIII.
Thats the only damage i took and it took it all in one shot.
My hit points bfore fight was 1717,hume mnk with carbonera food.
I took it from full hp to about a lil bit more than 2/3's in a few sec's
Fortunately a 75 pt was there to finish it off to avail no drop,as usual.now that i think abou it,i may have ad couinterstance up still from fighting an at down the hall from earlier.Oh well..i know his EES can hit hard now...
went back 4hrs later,as pt was there(i think RMT all r3 no ls)anyway..killed princep pop..next pop was sagitarrius.I stayed mnk/thf,but made sure no counterstance this time and EEs only did 586 and it dropped darksteel,robe,2 iron ores..no bow.

I camped this NM on several occasions (over 15) on Shiva server, since no one really camps him. I've gotten the two bows I've been trying to get, and I can say with 100% certainty that this NM spawns off the single Princeps on the room. I've never seen it spawn off anything else, and most of the time I only kill the Princeps in the room, then move to another NM while waiting for respawn timer. The beetles have nothing to do with it, nor do the war and blm ants.

been lvl'n rng lately and have to say that i love the job. well after listening to "limit break radio" and hearing about the Loxley bow i figured i'd give it a shot. after googling all the info i could it sorta looked bleak. still i said, "what the hell" and ventured in. got here and a lvl 75 rdm was either camping this NM or killing time, either way she left after i arrived. so then i started killing everything in this room. PH's are iffy at best, as far as info goes for which will pop this bad boy, so i left nothing to chance. one hour later i'm in the middle of pulling a hastatus and i see Sagittarius X-XIII around the corner. finishing off this mob was fast enough, put pet on NM, heeled it to ramp near the zone, and put pet on NM again. 3min later, 1 drk crystal, and 2 iron ores the Loxley bow is mine!

Just beat him solo as 70PLD/35WAR took about 10 min but got it done. Parade Gorget helps alot. He misses most of his ranged attacks accept for eagel shot.
Didnt drop the bow. just dropped 2 iron ores. a robe and rotten meat.

I am pretty sure the beetles aren't the placeholders unless there was a very stealthy individual killing them while my friend and I were in there.
My friend wanted to skill up his sword so we went to the Cave entrance in Southern part of E. Altepa and fought the Ants in there. We had been there before and so have I on my own and this was the first time I had seen it pop. We had killed only Ants up to that point. When he popped the room was clear of all Ants so we decided to heal and buff (me 55 THF/NIN and him 56 RDM/15THF).
The first attempt ended with me dying. I had popped a Mithkabob and was having a lot of trouble landing my status bolts. At about 80%, I have hate and had shadows down so he pops off EES, hitting me for about 600+ damage, bringing me to 74 hp. Fortunately, my friend had a cure ready and we were able to bring hime down to about 35% when my friend runs out of mp with hate and taking major damage. He zones and I hold him while my friend rests. I end up having to 2-hour right as my friend comes back in. We get him to about 20% when I get full hate and take a series of hits while trying to put shadows back up. I start heading for zone but go down and my friend decides to retreat while he can.
Second attempt is successful. We heal to full and so does Sagit. His friends also pop making them our first priority. We take down a couple of them and then an opportunity shows itself to pull without links. We heal and buff. I pull and start working in on him. He doesn't use EES again so easier. After about maybe ten minutes, several close a calls, a Convert followed by several Cure IVs where I try to keep hate, we take him down. Our drops:
Antican Robe
Mythril Ore x 2
Iron Ore x 2
Darksteel Ore
Loxley Bow

So I just posted and it didn't show up.
Anyways in short
He's an 11-13 hour lottery pop. Get ToD come back in 10.5 hours start killing the BEETLE.
The beetle is the place holder, not the PLD.
I killed mobs like this
beetle, pld, blm, blm, war, war, then went to the left hallway(if you zone and get to the room, it's the left side facing south) and killed that beetle. Every time it popped the pld ant popped as I was killing him, and the beetle didn't pop, so that tells me out of 3 times killing him in a row and the pld popping as I'm killing it removes with any doubt in my mind that the beetle is the PH. And now after being retarded, killing him the first time getting the drop but out lotting myself(look at the loxley bow posts for my renob story) I have it 2/3. TH3 helps alot, TH4 I'd assume would be an almost 100% drop rate.

Ok, so after being a retard and out lotting myself on my mule(go to the loxley bow itself and read my post, not repeating). I've camped it 3 pops in a row. The PLD ants are NOT the pop, infact the BEETLE that wanders around there is it's place holder(yes I know, sounds stupid, but then again this is SE we are talking about, look at the dune boots for instance), however, kill the other mobs so you don't link. It has popped all 3 times at 11-13 hour intervals camping it for almost 2 days straight(switch off with my roommate to sleep). 2/3 on drop, TH3 helps on this drop alot TH4 I'd assume would be a 100% drop rate. As for eagle eye shot, I let myself take it just to get damage total for anyone interested, to a 75 thf/nin, he shot me in the face for 294 damage. Don't fear his too weak EES, lol.
Get TOD, and come back in 10 hours and start killing again, he'll pop pretty soon afterwards
And now for my bow of lol drg(btw, if you type that without a space it renames it to I'm stupid, lol wtf?). This thing is hillarious XD

Just killed him as 62drg/31whm.
was a fun fight, had stoneskin up and blink. EES missed so that made the fight a lot easier. It is soloable around 62 if you know what to expect.

Ok here is my Theory....
Been camping this biotch for the last 4 to 5 days ( I know I Know pl say dont camp him...but i really want this bow ^^) anyway's, i am 99% sure he isnt a Lottery spawn, I'm so far 0/4 in the Bow Drop </sigh>, SE I Hate you for making this 1 so difficult!
Thought i'd log out in area just b4 maintenance, logged back in, and nope, No Sagittaurius ; ;then i realised it was PO Maintenance NOT Sever, so i figure well im here, lets kill a few PH's, at around 3am GMT / 10pm EST he spawns, now the last 3 times ive had him, it has been around this sort of time.
I've tried everything else possible, killing every single Princeps in Area, u name it ive tried, and i cannot come up with any sort of System for him.
Also what leads me to this conclusion, is ppl saying they ran in, and he just happend to be there.... Hmmmm.... Again if he was there, why wasnt Someone killing the PH's for him to spawn?
So there you are.. this is my theory, i dont know if it will help anyone, i camp ALOT of NM's and know their Spawn patterns inside out, but GL on this guy, you'll need it, o and i'm now taking the advice....DONT CAMP HIM!! Unless u have some sort of ToD.
Camped him as RDM75/NIN37

Just killed this guy today for first time. Was going after stonega 2 for my blm but since it was full moon decided to go after all nms i could. This guy was up walking around nobody killing pholders, guess i got lucky. Any rate soloed easy as 75 rdm/nin EES did take a good chunk 538 dmg. After it was all said and done he droped adman <spelling ?> ore, robe, and Bow.
Here is another job i have to lvl just to play with the toys i find.

After my first pop set run i sky i noticed this bow on a rng out claiming stun and provoke... so i decide to go to quiksands to try my hand at this NM. 5 straight hours of killing all the ants in the area till i got to pop. fight went fairly well till he silenced me and EES(took out my stoneskin+150dmg) now hes down to 14% my silence wears and i take my revenge Blizzrd III finished him off.. drops were adaman ore and loxley ^^.. 1/1 on this mofo GL to all else trying for this bow. idk how it is since my rng is only lvl 10 lol.

Took this guy as 64 PLD with a 46 soothing healer(npc). Used a boiled crab just for the heck of it, his ranged attacks seems to only hit every two attempts at best. Got 32 exp, 3k gil, 2 iron ore, a darksteel ore and an Antican robe.
EES did 321 damage. Has around 5535~ HP, Npc had dia II on him, but this is what i got for his hp. I went back and totaled up the damage from me and my npc.
Regardless fun fight close a couple of times. Sucks no drop but just wanted to attempt it.

I spent about 15 cumulative hours killing princeps before ever seeing this bastard spawn. (there was one string where I killed princeps for 7 hours straight before giving up.. jesus.) I just killed him and got drop, though. one thing I've noticed: right before he spawned, the previous two placeholders actually gave 15 EXP. This is odd, as all of the antica in the area otherwise are too weak to a level 74.

What the f*ck is this sh*t. I killed Princeps for seven f*cking hours and I didn't get a spawn. I'm thinking Princeps are not necessarily the PH.

Big window? Been here for 5 hours killing everything in the room, even the beetle, 70RNG/NIN and 75BLM/WHM. No pops yet -_- I don't advise camping this guy, I'll stay here but it's probably best to just pop in kill a pld mob and see if it pops, if it doesn't it probably wont...

well right now i have killed him 3 times
1st time was me at lvl 54ish RNG, had a 75/MNK and a 63/WAR, went down pretty easy. mnk took EEX for about 700 damage. sag. dies no bow. so we leave.
next day back down there this time 56/RNG(me), 75/MNK, 69/PLD. again no bow. so at this point we al pull out our NPC and do some lvling there. few hrs later he pops again. kill him once again very easy. and yet again no bow... made about 4k gil and some cheap ores.
No i'm lvl 66/RNG and i'm in a XP pt in Bibiki Bay and my monk friend is helping somoene with the coffer and Sag. pops on them. they take it down and the one time i'm not there the bow drops. -.- so i'll be back in the caves soon for my bow.

Heeeey, I was there lving 47-48 pt: rng/nin (me), war/nin, pld/war, blm/whm, rdm/blm, whm/blm. We were the only party there and he spawned, first thought was "Wow... that's a pretty big ant"... so after a while we decide we're gonna move camp, and we'll give him a run and just zone if we have to. Well I think we got to a point where none of us were willing to give up. He EESd our pld at about 3/5 life but didnt do much damage, like 450 or so. war and I both 2hrd and rdm had to convert in the middle of the fight and cure for at least 1/4 of it because other mages ran out of mp. I was stoked because I figured they would let me get drop since I was the closest to being able to use the bow... but it didnt even drop ; ;. We got about 180xp, 500g, antican robe, 2 iron ores and a dark crystal. I must get this bow now...

Just soloed him. Was leveling my NPC and had her leave. So, i was running through caves to leave and I ran into him. EES did 580 dmg to me. I went MNK/THF hoping for spider web drops. No bow, 15 Limit Points for a 75 MNK and about 4500 gil.

Semi-Soloed with my lvl 50 NPC as a 62 Mnk/War with Hundred Fists. EES did 590, Magnetite Cloud for about 400, both covered by back-to-back Cure IV from NPC. Ended with 666/1529 hp, darksteel ore, 2x iron, robe, and dark crystal...
Maybe I should say I duoed it...

Me being my normal self a 66 monk at the time see a nm spawns near where i was camping for a map. seeing that it was rough for higher levels i wanted to test my luck and see if i could kill it. So i kill place holders for about 20 minutes and he spawns with about 300 hp missin I start layin in on him he keeps missing so I see no need to use hundred fists after I get him 1/4 down he starts hitting 75's so i hundred fists by the time he EES he had me down to 1k hp and that took me down to about 400 hp doing roughly around 600 hp with EES. a few seconds after he dies and drops his bow. I being my normal self have no room so it doesnt drop to me right away I give it to someone else who needed it no adaman which is what i was hoping for. ive killed him 3 times only 1 bow and not a single adaman ore poop.
well im still at this guy 1/10 on adaman ore 7/10 on bow and boy is he fun to kill.

This NM, is fairly easy. I'm a 68rng/34nin and i duo'd him w/ a 68whm/nin tanking :P. 2/4 on Adaman ore and 1/4 on loxely bow!. At least i got it. This bow is insane for pulling. I macro this bow in and can outpull just about anyone. this bow is also good for if u get links and need to sleep an extra enemy fast. This bow is just about instant and i love it for campin NM's also.

Almost completely soloed this NM as RNG57/NIN24.
I was pting with a NIN60 in Quicksand caves for about 5 hours trying to get this NM to spawn, we got a couple coffer keys. We decided after 6 hours and 30 minutes to leave, I came back as RDM48 (about 5 minutes after I left) to find coffer and get my map of Quicksands.
I run around Quicksand looking for the coffer and guess what I saw... Yes, Sagittarius spawned... RIGHT when I left...
I warp to Rabao, switch jobs, NIN goes to Quicksand before I get there and tries to solo him, he had to zone with about 1/4 his HP. I go in while he rests, shadow up, pull the NM and range it while its away (until 3/4 hp).
I shot 6-7 times, Slug Shot, he comes near, I shadowbind and run back. NIN zones in with 720~ hp, gets near Sagittarius, gets instant hate (Shadowbind switches hate to whoever is nearest) then he moves back because he had to shadow up. I Barrage > Slug Shot, this caused Sagittarius to Eagle Eye Shot the NIN before he had utsusemi up, he's left with 8 hp, zones.
I shoot around 5 more times, then Slug shot. Sagittarius dies. 1/1 Loxely bow ^^
I said I ALMOST soloed this because even though I completely killed him, NIN took various shots, including EES >.>.
Loxely Bow + Rapid Shot = faster than stun =]

I went to go tag team Titan with my friend then after that quick fight I came up with the brilliant idea of camping this NM. Me (75Rdm/Nin) and her (75 Thf/Nin) cleared the room for about 20 minutes or so and while we were screwing around he popped on us and linked on what we were fighting. We quickly wiped out what we were playing with and teamed up on him. I ended up tanking the fight and EES did nothing more than take out 1 Shadow and my Stoneskin, 0 damage to me. Killed while we were still a bit low from the other fights but still killed him with ease. Dropped Lox Bow and a bunch of ores. Now to just lvl my Rng like I planned on past 20 :\

Was messing around in quicksands looking for ??? for teleport altep quest/ duoing beetles with a 44 whm friend of mine(cornema). A 75 pld/nin was here killing the anticans in the room for an hour to an hour and a half with no spawn. He left and we killed on princeps. Right after we killed a beetle this guy pops and i send out a call to my LS for people high enough to stand a chance against him to head to the caves. Only person of the right lvl was a 60 war/nin(ragnarokzero or Rags). I was confident we could manage to beat him.
The war got there and we managed to get him alone. We got him down to about half and I told the whm to get Rags' health above half cause he would use EES soon. I say this and not ten seconds later he wastes rags with Eagle Eye Shot for 550 dmg.I fell shortly thereafter and cornema ran for the zone and made it. One day I'll teach this guy to mess with me and my friends.

EES and Magnetite Cloud were too much.

Maybe if you time Invincible with EES, but still a long shot.
Result 2.4k exp lost, lmao. Got him down to about 20% HP though.

Well, the other day I was helping a RNG friend of mine camp him. I am a 56SAM, and my buddy is a 73RNG. We killed the Princeps for over 5 hours (and the other ants and beetles as well) and the NM never spawned. Thankfully I was there to skill up more than anything, as he didn't need my help, so it wasn't a total waste of time, but yeah, he was nowhere to be found. I took it kind of personally, so I am anxious to get out there and camp him again.
On another note, I have killed this guy before in an xp party of 47-49 or so. We had some excellent mages, and we calmly and easily took this guy down. It was a pretty long fight, but there was never really much danger. His EES did roughly 400 to our PLD, no big deal. We got some iron ores, a robe, some gil, and some xp. I am 0/1, my RNG friend is 0/5. We'll get it though.
UPDATE: 8 hours of camping and he finally spawns. What does he drop? A robe and 2 iron ores. This guy is a jerkwad. In fact, while setting up our Penta Thrust >>> Slug Shot Skillchain, I turned him and promptly got a face full of his Eagle Eye Shot. It did ~700 damage to me, a hefty chunk out of my 1111, but not enough to kill me. Sadly, it left me in a low enough state that I later got blasted with some Firaga II from a Signifer and bit the dust. I suppose in the long run he got me dead and didn't give us his bow so he won, but at least he has to live with knowing he is a wuss and couldn't take me down himself.

i camped this foo for the last week to get Loxley Bow, and i finally got it after 6 tires. He pops very fast, like after the first 2 placeholders are killed, but only if his window is up from the last time he was killed (has to be at lest 4 hours). EES did 650 damage to lvl 75 war/nin.

i'm currently 68sam and i'm subbing RNG. i can solo this pretty easily if i take the right steps and be careful about it.
first of all to pop him, you have to kill the antican princeps which is located in the room. from its time of death its respawn time is 16mins. exactly.
i don't think i would be able to solo this NM without my 2hr and RNG sub.
when it pops this is my routine-
-make sure no other ants around that can link
-meditate and cool down timer(usually do this before or while waiting during the 16min. spawn time.
-make sure i have all the RNG equipment i'm going to use. i.e. emp pin, leaping boots, drone earrings.
-i use my mychin kote and use tonosama r.balls for def and att.
-pull NM close to zone just in case things get ugly.
-at this point he isn't meleeing, just launching arrows.
-half the time he misses, so i use persikos au lait for regen
-just continue to launch arrows at him at a distance, i use demon arrows so his att goes down.
-at about 3/4 health he will come up to melee.
-begin sidewinder routine > sharpshot > sidewinder > meikyo suishi > sidewinder > sidewinder > meditate > sidewinder > wait > sidewinder > and if he's still alive barrage > then sidewinder.
- at about half health he will EES, usually you will see an animation of dust whirling up beneath him. just watch for that and third eye.
-if he happens to hit you use potions accordingly.
after the battle im usually down to a quarter of health. its a risk i take because usually nobody is around to help me because i'm constantly camping this n/m. i am currently 0/7 on this NM, sadly.
Is the bow worth the trouble i'm going through? probably not.
But its fun and I'm enjoying it for what its worth and the challenge.

the bow is Phenomenal for camping. the delay is really low and with rapid shot its just that much better. prolly as fast as all those quick claim abiltites. i saw a guy using it yesterday at LL and decided to ask him where he got it. its not too good for damage, even if you chain arrows he said its not really worth it. but if youre looking for a way to camp as RNG while still subbing thf for TH, then this bow is the way to go.
Took this bad boy down yesterday with a full PT of 48-49. Went easily and no one 2hred. Though when it 2hred, one of our members died. I was the WHM (fun..) and we got the drop! And some mythril ore and lots of iron ore. Since I was the only one with RNG levelled, I got the drop! ^^
The Loxely Bow is good purely because of its Delay which is 120, making it the fastest bow in the game. It can beat Dia and is useful for RNGs camping Leaping Lizzy and VE to use as a quick claim (since it has more range than provoke).

I was exping in Quicksand right by the zone earlier today, when this thing spawns RIGHT FRIGGIN NEXT TO US. It linked with the Antica we were fighting and totally raped us. =/ our RNG even 2 houred and it did total crap. Pally two houred, that didn't help. RDM used chainspell and nuked the crap out of it, all that did was pull hate and she died pretty fast. The other BLM and I died shortly afterward, leaving the pally to get raped by her lonesome. I'm gonna kill this thing, eventually, just for revenge. It'll make me feel good =D.

dang... we took him out a 50 or so EXP PT (maybe lower) a while back, not too tough and I dont thin anyone 2-houred.
I was tanking as PLD at the time and don't remember any Eagle Eye Shot >.>guess I got lucky. We did get the bow though, even had a ranger who was leveling something else that needed it ^^
Any decent EXP should definitely go after it though has some good drops and a nice change of pace for level grind.

Just fought it yesterday with 4 LS friends
61 RDM, 59 MNK, 56 RNG (me), and 50 BLM.
We did kill it but we suffered a death to all but the RDM. (The monk and I tried to solo it before hand but both died and wasted our 2 hours then we called ls friends to come and help so the RDM used his 2 hour to finally finish the fight ^^)
Unfortuneatly, no bow drop =\ not even the good ores. From what it seems this NM isnt THAT tough its just the Eagle Eye Shot and fast dagger hits that'll hurt you ^^ hope that helped.

Can you solo this as a 68 rng/nin?
Yes! You can!
I have killed him 2 times, the fights went something like this:
1. 70 rng/nin. I destroyed him. I was using Hellfire, and the fight went something like this:
Utsusemi > Barrage > Slugshot. He was half dead after this, so he EES'd me. Re-Utsusemi > 5 shots > Slugshot > Win. I didn't take very much damage. I got adaman ore.
2. 71 rng/nin. Found out I need Loxley Bow for something other than being a jerk in Ballista. I used O-bow and the fight was WAY harder this time and it went like this:
Utsusemi > Barrage > few more shots > Slugshot. He was not halfway dead after this, and was not pissed off enough to EES me. So I freaked out, I did not have my 2hour, and Utsusemi was off. I tried Shadowbind, it held long enough for a recast and that was it. My main problem was running in all cocky... like I owned the place. Somehow he ended up EES'ing me and I blinked it! After that (and most of this fight was me running around like a maniac) I Slugshot, and the fight looked like it was in my favor. So I started spamming Darksteel Bolts at him. I won, with under 200 hp left. I got Loxley Bow, adaman ore, and darksteel ore.
So, now for my crappy advice; if I was 68 rng/nin, I would do this:
Start fight with 100 TP and Utsusemi. I suggest using O-bow, or whatever. Slugshot > Barrage > EES. If you do that I'm 97.35% sure he will use his EES. And once he uses his EES, you are safe, so... Re-Utsusemi > finish him off.
I hope this helps. Good luck all you RNG's who want this. I can't wait to shoot 30,000 arrows at Genbu for 0 damage per hit... in under 5 minutes.
Yes! You can!
