I'm now 0/3 on Mysticmaker. 3/5 on total campings, 0/3 on earring.

He always drops appears to drop the following:
6000 gil
Goblin Armor
Goblin Mask
One of Four Thunder-based Black Magic scrolls: Thunder III, Thunder IV, Thundaga III, Burst.


He was a bit of a challenge at 65, but at 69 he's pretty harmless. Put up Barsleep, buff up, and let loose. When he uses Manafont he might start to spam Ancient Magic, so be ready with the proper Bar-element when he begins casting. Stoneskin will usually absorb all of it. Last time I fought him Stoneskin absorbed Freeze completely.

First time I fought him he dropped the gil, the goblin goodies, and Burst. Second time he dropped the gil, goblin goodies, and Thundaga III. Third and most recent time, gil, goodies, Thunder III.

First fight he didn't use any AM, so I was somewhat relieved. Second time he spammed Tornado and Freeze when he hit Manafont. Third time only Freeze.

I camped him for 6-7 hours. The first time I went with Pld56, blm57 (me), and thf 61. No one else was there so we got him. Everything was going good then a cocatrice attacked us. I couldn't heal the pld fast while keeping cocatrice asleep so pld died then the coc woke up and killed me. thf kept goin and finished it off. Then he had to run to zone and died on the way. The earring dropped but I didn't get it >.>
Next two times we camped it someone else claimed it. Then on the last time only me and the thf were there. We were doin well and we got a cocatrice link. We asked the other campers to take it they said no. Then they went and got 3 more and sleepga II'd and escaped on us. Thf hit two hour the thing had a 1/8 left. I hit my two hour and just blew the rest of it away. Then warp IId him and got him out alive. Then warped myself with 120hp left. But we got the earring ^^.

Just to let you know about the dying thing. If you guys have no raise coming or are just going to HP. I think if everyone in the party except you Home points then all the treasure will fall to you. I dont know for sure, but Ive done this after 2 man BCNM runs and I homepointed and all the treasure fell to my partner, just something to keep in mind if this ever happens to anyone else

I was exploring this place last night with my 70 WHM, I told a BLM in my LS that I'd help him get this earring. After running through the entire zone I checked here for it's spawn point and made my way to the 3 pillars at I-9. When I got there there were 3 goblins walking around and while I was checking them to see if they agro'd the NM spawned. I quickly checked my LS list but the BLM wasn't on so I decided to give it a try, I could always warp out if things went bad...

I started with Protect / Shell IV then gave myself stoneskin and haste and pulled the NM into the corridor with the scorpions that were too weak. After my first Hexa Strike it used it's Manafont and it put me to sleep with sleep II, I had stoneskin up so I couldn't wake up. I got a bit into a panic when he started to cast Freeze but my Stoneskin absorbed most and after he did Freeze he was just like a normal goblin. 2 more Hexa Strikes and he was dead. He dropped Thundaga 3, Goblin Armor, Goblin Mask and the Earring.

So when the BLM logged on about an hour later I warped to Jeuno, 2 PLD's also offered to help and the 4 of us went back to Onzozo. We had some competition, we lost the next pull and we all decided to wait 2 hours. All the others left so it was just us 4, after an hour we got bored and we started killing for fun, we moved into the main room when we killed most things and kept killing near the 3 pillars. When the NM spawned again I pulled it with flash while the others killed the Cockatrice they were fighting. Our 61 PLD took over tanking and our BLM got put to sleep, I woke up the BLM then our tank got hit by a Tornado so I did Divine seal Curaga 2 and shortly after that the NM was dead and it dropped the exact same drops as earlier when I took it on solo.

I'm now 2/2 on this NM, it's really not that hard if you're carefull.

Very easy fight. Like the aformentioned posts, if your lower then 63ish you'll catch aggro in that room from the Cockatrice and gobs. At 60 they all checked EP, low E, low D...so I just cleared the ones in the immediate area when needed. 1st spawn, 63RDM camper got the claim while I was busy with 2 gobs and a cockatrice of my own and he got the drop and quickly equipped it and ask me to check it. Sure enough he finally got it(btw - he had been camping him previously and got claim before I arrived w/ no drop)....he was a very nice camper, Mornlithe(?) and I offered to help while I wait for the BLM in the LS to arrive. After he got his drop, he wished us good luck and left us and 4 other campers to wait for the next spawn. Right around pop time, I seemed to get my hands full again with this time 4 mobs at once, 2 gobs and 2 cockatrice, lol...MP was gonna spawn at any minute too...so I thought for sure we weren't going to get this pop either. After those 4 foes dropped to fate of my bloody katana's, I was surprised that MP didn't pop during that barrage. Atleast now the area was clear where I could stand without worry of linking anything if MP did pop. Less then 1 minute after that chaotic battle of links, MP pops right in the center of now 7 campers including myself. I managed to get the quick claim before he fully spawned, and we subsequently proceeded to own him. He used Manafont at 2/3rd's health, and tried, and emphasize tried to spam magic. All I did was immediately slow, paralyze, and blind him with Ninjitsu, all of which stuck the entire fight...the BLM's silence, even with ES didn't stick, neither did stun. Lost a little health to 1 -Ga spell and 1 BT, and he attempted to cast Freeze......followed by 15 secs of casting, then... "Mysticmaker Profblix is paralyzed." lol, too bad for him. Well after a minute or 2 he was officially terminated, and he dropped Goblin Armor, Goblin Mask, Thunder IV, and Moldative earring...again. Best of luck to everyone on this mob.

BTW - great place to farm cockatrice meat as a high level THF.

This guy is much easier than you all make him sound...

Soloed it as a SMN60 and from reading here, I thought I'd die.

Killed but no drop :(

Walked in and saw him, didn't have to wait for him to pop.

hard to silence / hard to stun. Killed multiple times as BRD75/RDM solo. Not sure wether SE changed it in general or just for NM, but his single target spells (mainly AM) ignores WHM blink (i took freeze in full). He's rather low lvl so it's not deadly when ur lvl is high enough tho. Utsusemi is very useful (once again)
Got lucky.

I had 4 of my LS members help me with this, that was really nice of them, we came here BLM (52), RNG (52), DRK (53), THF (54) and MNK (55), we went there, a high lvl thf was farming so no cockatrices, a 69 blm was camping, he got the NM but died! The NM had 1/4 health left so we owned it and got the earring! woo! 1/1!

A good strategy for BLM it seems, would be to sub RDM and Have Gravity so you can nuke him while he slowly walks around.

Of you can sub rdm and just melee him like I do >.> cake.

I was camping him solo as a 64RDM/32BLM. I didn't really get much agro in the room - one gob and one Cockatrice each aggroed me, but that was it for two hours of solo camping.

I'd been prepared to solo him, but a RNG friend (67RNG, I thin) showed up to surprise me. About tow minutes after he shows Mysticmaker Profblix pops. It was almost too easy - all I cast were a few debuffs and slept anotehr gob that linked. He didn't manafont or get any ancient magic off. Slug Shot, Barrage, a nuke, a few seconds of melee, dead.

Dropped Goblin Armor, Goblin Mask, Moldavite Earring, and Scroll: Thunder III. I was (still am, as this happened like 30 minutes ago) so happy.

I was a bit remorseful that I didn't get to test my RDM mettle and solo him, but I'll console myself by playing with my new earring. ^^
Where is he?

I'm interested in taking him on. Where is he, though?

I looked through the thread but don't see a location. I don't have a map, so please give instructions with this in mind.

What level are the other monsters in the area?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Info

Here's some info I have about him:

BLM can solo him, I soloed him 4 times at lvl 74, and died to him once.

His spawn window is 2hrs-2hrs 30mins after his death. Only once did he spawn before 2:15 since previous death, and it was at about 2:02. Anyway it's really hard to spam a macro or ability, because of the cockatrice in the area.

You do NOT need to kill the placeholders since he is a timed pop. Maybe killing placeholders makes him spawn closer to 2:00 then 2:30, but I have no evidence for or against that.

Fighting Him: This guy isn't the easiest of fights. He is weak physicially, but as a BLM he resists a lot of my spells. He has resisted my Stun EVERYTIME (BLM 74), which is almost NEVER resisted. Slow and Paralyze can land fine, Silence will never stick. When I fight him I use my staff to melee for most damage. I always seem to claim him when I am not at full MP, which caused me to die once. I keep stoneskin/blink up, and just melee him. Aspir and Drain every 60 seconds, and weaponskill when it is available. Sometimes I get a little anxious, and use Manafont + IV spells, which speeds the fight up a lot.

Drop: Many people say the drop rate is 33% which seems about right. I am 1/4 on him, 1/5 if you count the death. Every time has has dropped 1 spell, and at least one goblin desynth item.

Good luck campers

Okay this is just wierd.

I'm 0/9 on this guy on drops, and 0/15 overall (which includes drops and missed claims).

I can't see why I don't get a damn earring!

Anyway, this guy is easily soloable for a RDM64+ and maybe a BLM of the same level if they're smart. He usually uses Manafont between when he's 75% HP and 50% HP (at least when I've seen him use it). The AM is easily blockable with Blink, and even then, with my Stoneskin, Phalanx, and Shell III up, Freeze only did about 350 dmg to me, which wasn't too bad. Freeze usually seems to be th first AM he'll do, although I have seen him use Tornado and Flare. I used a Stun WS (Flat Blade) on him during casting, and it didn't really stun him. So I don't suggest you rely on that, and instead have multiple forms of protection against this strong magic ready.

He has a 30-minute window spawn and it opens 2 hours after his last death. So plan ahead!

Wish me luck on my next kill... :(
0/5
# Feb 20 2005 at 11:02 AM Rating: Decent
Im freaking 0/5 on this guy! He pop every 2 hours almost on the dot if you kill all the place takers (I kill the ***** to even though you dont have to). As a 60 RDM/BLM killing the placetakers is pretty tiring, i only got 2 pops solo, the rest were with a 70 MNK which was really easy. He uses Freeze every time, make sure you have Blink, Utsusemi, Stun, or a Stun WS ready otherwise your screwed as level 58 and below i saw (Survived it with 50 HP as a level 59, btw im Elvaan more VIT and HP) So RDM's 59+ can solo him easy, i reccomend bringing help!

Oh and ive gotten:
2 Thunder III
1 Thunder IV
1 Thundaga III
5 Fire Crystal
5 Goblin Armor
5 Goblin Mask
6k Gil (solo)
3k Gil (Duo)

ok so here is my story, I was a (62RDM/40NIN) and just got out of a xp party in there, well I run around killing ***** and gobs in his pop area for about 20 min with 5-7 other ppl, so everything is dead and I thought Id go grab a drink. I come back and not a sec later he pops to my right... NO one saw em. I drop my drink and grab em. The others hundle around me to watch me kill em or die I dont know which... so I killed em solo and got my earing!!! YAY!!!

This guy was pretty easy as 62RDM/BLM. The only thing I had problems with was the surrounding mobs. I had to keep myself invis'd so I didn't get aggro while camping him. He spawned after about 3 hours of waiting. I was getting pretty nervous because there were about 5 other people camping him (I was the first one there.) I managed to get him when he spawned by spamming dia lol. I couldn't believe I got him. He spawned in a relatively empty spot so I didn't get any links or aggro while fighting him. Got the drop on the first try. Good luck to everyone trying to get the earring ^^
Meh...

Ok, today my LS got some people together to get this Earring for a few of us who needed one, 5 in all. We were there for 7 1/2 hrs, just beating the hell out of mobs and waiting for Mystickmaker to pop. At the end of the day we were able to claim him 4 consecutive times, and went 4/4 on the earring. Heres to the toughest LS in Midgard... Ancient Honor.

This NM is really easy to solo (atleast for me as 60rdm/blm) if you take out all the gobs and cockatrice or anything that aggroes in the area. Then run into the tunnel next to Mystic's spawn area. After you claim Mystic, run into that tunnel until Mystic can't see you anymore. Then it will follow you inside (otherwise it won't move and will just cast spells on you from where it is standing). Then just switch back and forth between stoneskin and blink. Occasional aspir. BTW i wouldn't even bother with -silence-. I did elemental seal + lotsa MND/INT gear and still got resisted. Good luck camping!

OKay so Kristal and I decided to camp this thing, cuz we both need the earring (both rdm60) Kristal would get his first, then I as i had dibs on the drops of the local beasties as 62 cook and 49 tanner. We went as rdm60/blm30 (kristal) and rdm60/thf25 (me)

First POP: Damn thing popped WAY out of out range, and some other nin got it. There was a 50 blm in his group who needed it. Didn't know if it dropped.

Wait wait wait.... meanwhile kicking the meat out of the local cockatrices and killing of the occasional gob. Got a lot of goodies ^^

Second POP (we timed it) MP popped, Kristal claimed and got wiped by AM.... T_T
Some other RDM (68+ i believe) claimed it, and got killed as well. Then our LS buddy Roglevont raised Kristal, we sneaked, invis and waited for weakness to wear off. MP stayed unclaimed (no-one else near and we didnt raise the other rdm, he HP'ed) Killed off a cockapop build TP and claimed him again. Kristal eleseal silence him (resist ><) and got targetted by AM again. He sneaked and ran out of range. AM FIZZLE! I tanked the gob but lost hatred a few times. We then killed off MP with the three of us and got the drop. Rog got hit by AM but survived.
DROP: Gobbie stuff, Thunder IV and Moldavite Earring!

Tonite again, tho I might sub nin for utsusemi to avoid AM if I tank it again.

Grats X

Was a nice NM day too... I logged in, looking for a chest, saw Ose(dead already), Hellion(got drop), Lord of Onzozo(killed by LoO camper, and found chest behind him!), Mysticmaker Profblix(got drop) and later claimed Morion Worm (no drop)

very easy for a bst64/nin (with a pet). one of my funguars ripped through him two times, both times dropped an earring (first one was for a friend), along with burst and thundaga3.

here's a log of his casting during the second fight (my funguar paralyzed him at the start):

casts poison ii (paralyzed)
casts drain (9 dmg)
casts freeze (300 dmg)
casts fire ii (paralyzed)
casts poison ii (paralyzed)
casts frost
casts choke ("no effect on the funguarfamiliar", what a newbie goblin)
casts aspir (0 mp drained)
casts poison ii (resist)

pretty sad.. it used manafont. 6000g and 9xp for each fight.. >.>

hope this..um..helps.. i think any job with blink over 60 can take it easily. it did no -ga both times, but that might of been luck..
