Finally popped right as I was about to fall asleep and mash my face into my keyboard. Just 2hr'd for the hell of it and unfortunately I received a bloody piece of Pamtam Kelp. Not sure if he has any definite pop timer but this sure reminded me of the Argus camp in one way, it was quite boring. Received title: Bearer of the Wiseman's Hopes after this battle (Could have been mistaken on exact word for word def.). Overall a big disappointment to me, besides the fact that some JP missed the NM by a few seconds >:). Took 9 hours to spawn.
ok, me <50THF/25NIN> and a <65PLD/32THF> jus duoed this guy, he has major HP and spawns in (J-10) took us about 10 min to kill it's a timed spawn, not sure how long though dropped 2756 Gil which i assume was split 2 ways, 1 Quues, and 1 pair of Exocets during the fight i mugged for 611 gil it was fun ^_^
He spawns in the side hallway on the way to the utsusemi: ichi room. I took him out as a 72rdm/blm. With phalanx he hit me for 0 for about a 10 minutes. He does have a ton of HP but is very weak. Fire III nukes for 600 damage barley moved his HP bar.
I camped him yesterday... I'm not sure if he has a PH, a "pop window" or is simply lottery. I think after 4 hours he popped in that "dead-end hallway" along with another sahagin. I was killing all the Sahagin singly, so having two spawn at the same time has me a bit confused.
I'd treat him like a lottery pop, though. Just kill all the Sahagin in the immediate area at the "T" intersection until he spawns.
He hits for very little, spammed Spinning Fin and used Hundred Fists.
Fought him several times today, got 21 XP as a level 62 Monk. Would estimate his level to be around 50. Didn't use Hundred Fists once though I had to when a Rivulet Sahagin linked.
He agroed me as a 62 thf/whm, i brought him into that hallway to avoid links. Beat him without using my 2 hour and he dropped pamtam kelp and 5k+ gil. I also mugged him for 3k. He didn't use Hundred Fists either, but he does have a ton of hp, took quite a while to kill him. He spawned at the entrance of that first dead end hallway that a chest can spawn at the end of.
I was in the grotto last night with a friend killing Brook Sahagins for quest items and I ended up attacking this thing by total accident (I was tired and was going after anything blue colored).
Right, so 62war and 61pld. Hit it immediately with Raging Rush ~500dmg. HP bar moves about 2 pixels. As this point, we got scared. The we realized he was hitting us for ~8-10dmg per hit. Never saw him use any 'Sagagin job abilities' (like spinning fin) or any 2hr abilities. 5-6 sets of TP later, stupid thing finally dies. Probably ~10,000hp with moderate defense, but low low attack. It's like this NM is here just to get the others in the area to link, hah. Always funny when a NM hits you for less than his friends surrounding him.
Fought him two nights ago, 62MNK, 55THF, and 55 WHM. Only hard part about the fight was the other sahagin link and the pugil link we got at the beginning of the fight. Dropped Exocets, pantam kelp, and we each picked up 1860 gil and 9 exp. The claws really aren't that great, but it's fun to have the blue things around. =)
I fought this lastnight. After defeating him I received 14 exp, a quus (not listed as drop) and 5414 gil. Was Lv 66 at the time so I think you can estimate the level from that.
