My 1st post……………!
YAY……….!

Well I just wanted to tell every one my experience with this NM.
I solo it RDM70/NIN20. Yeah I know I sucks my NIN is 20. Then a second time I Solo it at RDM/BLM35. This NM is not that hard but it was much fun fighting it the second time. So here is how it went. I camp it the second time for about 3 hours till it finally pop. Two level 75’s clear the entire room so I was happy but about 2 minute before it the NM pop everything pop. WOW the room was full again. The finally it pop and I end up getting 2 links. I was doing so good just sleeping them till I finish with this NM. He went down easy but I ran out of MP and I ran out and finally was getting my butt kick. Finally I was able to raise 100 MP’s and I warp out. But I got my price I got Moldavite Earring.
Got drop!

Just solo'ed him as rdm64/blm32! And got the earring first try :D

Elemental seal + silence doesn't seem to work, Paralyze and Ice spikes do, however!
He will rip through stoneskin easily, just reapply asap and you'll be fine. I even survived a link. A goblin Bouncer decided to come help his buddy with still 3/4 of his HP left.

Anyway, to everyone who's doubting, any rdm 64+ can solo this guy quite easily :)

solo and woot!

Well I was being bored one day wondering what else I should do, then I thought 'I wonder what this camp looks like' and since I still wanted the earing for my rdm I headed on over there as nin/whm (teleport-mea ftw). I start camping him, just basically standing there waiting for the pop since I had no idea when he spawned last. I was evetnually joined by a thf/nin and a rdm/nin both 75. After maybe an hour and a half of sitting there he spawns behind the thf, I run over and get a Dia onto him before anyone even notices he spawned.. Now comes the fun part.

He spawned amongst other gobs which agrod instantly, one a warrior class the other a rng and we all know how much fun rng is when it comes to shadows. So while I am fighting this guy I have a rng taking a shadow every shot and one other gob who was thankfuly as accurate as a doorknob once debuffed down. So once I cycle through all my debuffs on each mob I get to hard work on the NM. He is going down pretty fast due to having very little defense and being lower level. He then gets very annoying, he pops his manafont and I guess just because he can he starts spamming sleepga and sleepga II he only did 2 -aga spells and 2 attempts at AM (tornado both times) the rest were single target spells and easily mitigated. However with the sleepgas and the other mobs on me a few did get through. a DS+Cure III was all I needed (/whm wasnt needed since I had a bag full of hi-pots but why spend gil when you can use mp? :) ) So I kill him and get the drop! So my record now is 1/3 he also droppped a scroll of thundaga III. So definately one hell of a way to start the day.

The rest of the day included:
Shiva
Miser Murphy
Antican Prefaectus (no drop)
tactics pearl quest and getting 3 levels on my npc in one day, woot!
Leviathan
Wuur the Sandcomber (no drop, detour on the way to norg for leviathan turn-in lol)

Logged here after camping Peg Powler the other day. Logged in and was running out of the area - found this dude, killed him. He dropped the earring which is cool although only useful on my DRK so far... and not too useful, I don't think.
Never give up!

Vandel of Kujata. 75 War/Nin. This is my story....

I have been camping this guy off and on for about a week during my downtime. Let me start out by saying that I am amazed at how many people still camp this NM! Even RMT were camping it on some days (not sure why unless people were paying them or they needed it for their army of /anon tarutaru BLM's. There were normally 2-5 people camping this guy at any given time.

I logged in this morning hoping that I would get lucky after a dissapointing dropless claim the night before. I was rushing to get ready for work, brushing my teeth, had my bath water running and had breakfast in the toaster. To my SURPRISE there were about 25 people camping this guy (all in the same Japanese LS)! I thought there was no way I would be able to get the claim if he did pop so I just went on with my regular business.

I finished with my bath and was all ready for work when I sat down at my computer to eat my toast. BAM! He pops! I quickly hit F8 then provoke, he turns red! Out of a sea of people..... He's mine!

This is where things get interesting. I normally have no problem with this guy.... but today I did. I start hacking away at him and out of no-where comes another goblin quickly taking out my shadows. I quickly use Mighty Strikes and proceed to rampage when Mysticmaker somehow manages to sleep me while my shadows were down. By this time he had used Manafont and started casting Freeze.

This is what pisses me off, the goblin who managed to take out my shadows now can't seem to land a single hit to wake me from my slumber. Next thing you know.... FREEZE!

By this time my Mighty Strikes had worn off. I quickly get my shadows back up and Rampage. He uses another ~aga spell. I use Ichi and pray that I kill him before he and the other gob take out my last 3 precious shadows.

Somehow, whether it be luck, skill or whatever I kill Mysticmaker Profblix and the link all while being IN THE RED! I now have a pretty green earring as a momento, reminding me to never give up!

I would just like to thank all the people who witnessed this event. If it weren't for you guys not sending me a single cure or helping with the add, I would not be telling this story today. /cheers

Duh!!

Solo'ed him as 72 NIN/WAR, got me down to like 30% but still pretty much an easy fight got the drop!!! Oh and I had on Hauby (-20 Eva) so with SH I probly would have taken less dmg.
finally !!

well i been camping this fool for a while now <0/10> always with my buddy Eol (75war).So this time he decides to sub thf instead of nin and we get claim beating out 4 other campers and it finally drop earing im so damn happy. Thanx to Eol again ! Lesson is /THF FTW !!!
The more the merrier.

I conned my boyfriend into helping me with this tonight (and got drop--1/1!!) and I'm very glad he came with.

We (me --> RDM70 him --> BLU70) arrived to hear that Mysticmaker had just popped, but decided to stick around since I wanted this earring before I attempted to fight Maat. Just over two hours later, Mysticmaker pops on top of me, but another RDM in the area got claim ; ;

I really wouldn't suggest soloing him though, as a RDM. The other RDM was doing pretty well damage wise--he stayed out of melee range and kept Poison II and Bio II up as well as Blink & Stoneskin for the magic attacks that landed. However...he didn't cast often enough and lost claim. Myself and another RDM were both hounding Mysticmaker waiting for this to happen, and both spammed Dia. Thankfully I was a bit quicker ^^

My bf didn't realize I had claim (though several <call>'s later he sure did :p), but once he did we made short work of Mysticmaker, and got drop ^^

So, it's definately solo-able by a 70 rdm but if there are other campers I would highly suggest bringing a friend so you don't have to rely on DoT spells to kill Mystiicmaker.

I got it 1/1 with the help of LS mate Elvaanknight.........wasn't even camped.....Yay me! Time to start lvling BLM again hehe LVL 41 atm. GL everyone. Oh btw, it was about 4:30 am Central time if that helps.

Profblix wasn't as bad as I thought.
I went in there (71Thf/Nin) with about 7 people, 4 of which needed the Moldavite Earring. Started early in the day. Took positions spread out around the spawn area.

4 consecutive kills later. 2 Blm's and 2 Rdm's in my LS are enjoying their new toy. Everyone has the map for LoO, and made some money from Gold and Brass Ingots that the Gob. Enchanterers drop.

TH3 ftw.

I just got finished soloing this guy as 70RDM/BLM with a Goblin Hunter and Miner add. They only made it take longer. Saw him, nobody else around and I need the earring for my now 52BLM so I claimed him with a Silence(which didn't stick, odd since i have 258 Enfeebling) went through the normal enfeeb chain, Dia 2, Slow, Paralyze, threw up Stoneskin, Refresh, Phalanx. After that just DD him down threw in some Aero III for good measure he went down. Didn't even need to Convert with Aspir and Drain. Eventhough I did on his adds just to drop them faster.

0/1 on Moldy Earring

but he did drop this amazing Scroll of Thundaga III... /sarcasm

**edit

Now 0/2 today. Same thing happened but JP on Shiva server named Fakeman stood there hopeing I'd die from adds. No luck on his part though /laugh

I had a go at this guy, just to give you another take on the NM if you are thinking about killing him.

FYI, I'm 75THF/NIN with decent gear, but not Heca and Homam level.

A friend of mine (Drcrash) wanted this earring as he is a BLM, so I thought I would have a go and try and get it for him. Sadly, he'd just been farming and was BLM62/THF20 and didn't realise until we arrived.

I said we'd just have to go at it, and see how we did. There was a 75MNK and a 75WHM RMT camping it too, but the MNK left after a few mins, and wasn't helping kill the PH at all (I was using the theory that Goblin Hunters where PH, but tbh I was killing them all anyway).

After about 45 mins, I was in the tunnel killing a Goblin Hunter, and the NM popped toward the Buburimbu end. My friend claimed it with stun, beating an amazed RMT who promptly tried to Cure V us both (I had /blockaid on, and told me friend to put it on too).

Mysticmaker opened with a Aeroga II (or III, can't remember now) and did me about 340 dmg, and blew shadows. I gave him a couple of smacks to save my friend, who was in the red HP-wise, and got shadows up.

He does die pretty quickly - was hitting for ~100 or so with a Harpe mainhand, THF Knife offhand. As my friend had come /THF, I couldn't get any cures, and was having difficulty getting sleep bolts to proc. Bloody were ok, averaging 70 HP or so.

Manafont was tricky - I'd just used :Ichi, :ni was on recast and he busted out 3 -gas in a row, so I was left with about 200HP and /recast down on both Utsusemi. Luckily my evasion was ok, and he is pretty blind, so I didn't take any melee damage. I gave him a quick Dancing Edge once I'd got a little HP back, and he was down.

It was a harder fight than I was expecting - it didn't help my friend did not sub WHM and died about 5 seconds in, so only got one stun off. I think a better strategy would have been just to zerg him, I wasted a lot of time trying to recast shadows, only for him to -ga anyway and I lost them.

I think he gave me 2.8k gil, Thunder III, Goblin Helm and a Moldavite earring. Congratulations Drcrash on your new earring ! ^^;

1/2 on drop...soloed him as Rdm 69/Blm 34....not to bad...just took long time...it was last quarter moon (48%) ice day. most damage he did on me was with stonega II 151dmg...he bomb tossed only once for 0 dmg....i kept blink and stoneskin up.... and converted once...gl to those who farm it... mobs around me were EP but they didn't aggro...i threw dia up and pulled him to the side away from other gobs pop area...there were at least 2 parties there waitin for it to pop...i logged on at 10:05am it popped at 11:10 am....fight took bout 10 minutes... he kept castin blaze spikes...of course i kept dispeling him....he finally died, then i saw "You find a Moldavite Earring on Mysticmaker Profblix" and then "Azurian obtains a Moldavite Earring"....sweet..gl^^

It doesnt state on here but on http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Mysticmaker_Profblix it states soloable at 70+. Now I guess this depends on job a little but they are not kidding.

A blm friend needed and needed my help. To try and make a long story short, he pops after about an hour waiting with some competition and I get claim. Blm friend is lvl 61, so able to put forth some DD. Wasnt ready for the pop so I went into battle with about 200/322mp, maybe a little less and was in Sub-par DD build. Was subbing /thf to help drop rate and only lvl 22. Not much to gain from the sub as far as offensive traits.

Called out my awsome lvl 43 NPC Healer and we went to town. MP started getting low and HP wasnt looking all that great. Half way through battle I went to turtle mode just to try and out last him. Was actually getting nervous. Of course my friend got aggroed by a gob but luckily slept it. In the end we beat him and got drop. 1/1

Moral of the story: Dont underestimate him. His magic and AM hurts and without a proper tank you could be in for a ugly fight. I would have been ok if I had full MP and was kinda rdy. Tough little booger, I'll say that much.

Blm solo

After hitting 68blm, I finally figured it was about time to go and have a try at this mob and see if I can get the earring. I'd been wanting it since 47, but now I figured I could solo it. FFXI Atlas says that hes soloable at lvl70. ***** that, im going to try now.
First off, everything checks as EP around my level in Onzozo but nothing aggros unless you rest right in front of it. So dont worry about invis. Anyways, I stand around and solo some Goblin Hunters using DoT and Blind. Works great. So Mystic pops and I get claim no problem. Now I figure my DoT tactic may work with mysticmaker. But blm's dont much care if you wanna stand back. They just nuke you to death. Whoops on that one, lets try and beat it to death with an Earthstaff. Blaze spikes is a pain, so just cast Barfira and youre good on that. I smacked away with my staff and kept Drown up on him and Ice spikes up on myself. When he started casting freeze i just switched to Barblizzara and it only hit me for 200. After wacking away for another 5ish minutes and alternatley casting Aspir and Drain whenever they were up, hes at about 15% health and i'm almost out of mp. Pop on the two hour and drop StoneIV and Blizzard III...
Yanktastic defeats Mysticmaker Profblix.
You find a Moldavite Earring on Mysticmaker Profblix.

Well all right! Few key tips and any Blm can solo this at 68, maybe sooner.
Dont get a link. Clear room first or youll die when he pops. Noone will help you with links.
Earthstaff and Icespikes are life savers,as the paralyze seems to stick well.
Dont sub rdm for dispel or gravity. Mob loves to drop Bio2 and Poison2 on you. Sub /whm for devine seal Cure3 and erase.
I had to use two hour, but if you just straight tank him you might not even need that. Dont stand back, it gets you dead ><. Gl with drops.
My Moldy Earring!
# Jan 17 2007 at 1:01 PM Rating: Decent
Got my moldy tonight! Went 0/5 claims in a row, then finally got a blm friend of mine to come help camp, and sure enough, he got the claim for me (thanks Whitesquallmage). Here's how it went down....

There we were.. camping the NM gob, and there were about 5 others there as well. I had been there all day, lost 5 claims in a row, and was really pissed. My ls friend comes down. He gets there about 5 mins before the 2 HR mark of ToD. He's lvl 55 blm and immediately gets aggro from a cockatrice. I have 70RDM sub 20WAR(for faster claim with voke) and voke it off him. We kill it, and continue waiting. 2HR mark comes. Right then he gets another aggro from a cockatrice and I procede to voke it off him. This time I tell him to keep his eyes open for the gob pop and i'll take care of the aggro. I kill it to 50% when our NM pops. He nabs it with stun. I knew he couldn't hold it long at 55, so i sleep the cockatrice and turn around and start beating the hell out of our gob. used all my stored TP, casted stoneskin about 3 times, and was healing both of us. He's down to about 50%, and starts casting tornado. I was in the middle of casting stoneskin and am freaking out hoping it goes faster. It finished casting and i threw up baraero. He casts, took 23 dmg lol. Cockatrice wakes up, i sleep it again. then my buddy gets another gob aggro. I can't sleep it in time, and he dies. Just then I finish off the NM with 9MP and about 600HP left. All my buffs had faded. We get the drop! I cast lots, but my buddy can't pass cause he's, well, dead. Cockatrice wakes up and i have a full health gob too. I start fighting the cockatrice, but there's no way since i have no mp and there is another gob too. First thing that comes to mind was to zone. I start running and my friend is like, "zone you don't get the moldy" I'm like oh **** you're right... so i run back to the pop area and shout heal me 50k! lol what looked like an RMT started healing me and raised my friend. he passes, i kill aggro and I get my moldy earring! Of course in the most sloppy way possible, but hey, I don't care!

SO wait for pop for about and hour. He pops 67rdm/33whm dia pull start to fight. and boom his goblin buddies repop drop my buffs and I catch an AM Death. So i beg Ls for help no mages on, so now im mad HP pay the lil greedy taru to warp sandy OP run back, he still therer buff and RDM/blm. pull him to a tunnel . And proceed to whack away SS, phalanx, haste, shock spike, enBlizzard, refresh, barblizzard.

He cast AM I run really easy to run away like everyone says. And he follows you when he fails casting. Watch out for sleep with SS up. don't worry about any other spells he uses I resist all but on sleeep, his other nukes where a joke. But other then that he was a cake if you can avid aggro from the other gobs .
