You just missed it >.>

Seriously tho, I have seen him pop with no particular consistancy. The least amount of time I -believe- is 1 hour. And that is from camping him regularly until I finally got his drop.

1/36 for drop -.-

I don't really "camp" this NM per say, but I run my farming route based on it's general spawn area.

I farm all the Beehive Chips and Silk Threads and I get Mist Silk Cape as an added bonus.

I'm 3/4 on this NM for the Cape, I'd say that a 75% drop-rate are pretty good odds.
The Capes sell for about 150k ea. in Cerberus. Not too bad, but it's definately no Rabbit Charm.

Place holders
# Apr 09 2006 at 2:52 PM Rating: Decent
Spiny only has three place holders.

Using widescan it'll pop between four bees, and two gobs.

There's two sets of this and it's the second set.

It spawns approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

5 minute spawn times for placeholders.

The place holders would be crawlers between the mobs I listed above.

Was farming a little silk, had got a crawler and 2 giant bees, turned and almost tripped over Spiny. Been playing for about a year and this was the first timeI came across it and wasn't even camping. Sad thing though, sild thread was the only drop. Was lvl 18 thf. Happened last night. Again I say ARGHHHH! lol
Bad day

I was lvling my new kitty THF, and collecting silks while I was at it. I was on the verg of dinging 14, and just had less then half life. I took a knee, and along came a ballon. It got the first couple hits in, and had me down to less then half life. I didn't want to lose all the grinding I did, so I used my 2HR, and won the fight with 7HP. I turn around and guess who's sitting there? I hurried and took a knee hoping that no one would claim him. I got my life back to 95% and tried him. I sure wish I would have had that 2HR. Died and Spiny only had 16HP left.
good day

Me and my good freind Spipi have a good relationship. I kill all her annoying family members n she spawns without absolutely no one around here. Needless to say its very easy for me to get the claim on her since no one is around. Ive killed her 3 times in the past 12 hrs and she has dropped the cape one of the times.

*Edit: Make that 2/4 now

I camped Spipi yesturday near the river and rocks for about an hour. He spawned around 7pm est and was killed in seconds with my lvl29 mnk/war. This will make a nice upgrade for lvl10 blm. And some nice silk thread for me. ;)
yes!!

I've been camping this bugger for 3 days on Siren. I turned the corner, coming from the river toward the tower, and there he was! He was standing in I-7 just south of the road.

My main is WHM, and I usually sub WHM when playing my BRD, so I was really hoping for the cape. Instead, I got two spools of silk thread.

I have the worst luck getting good drops, I swear.

I was talking to a lvl 10 WHM who was camping it. He got beat by it so I claimed it. Only got a silk thread drop but I sent it to him like "Sorry about your luck. All I got was this for a drop." I didn't even know what the NM was. LOL

Spiny Spipi was the first NM that I was really hunting for the drop. By that time 75k (I'm on Fairy) seemed like a lot of money (now I can waste that on one silly event). (The price is much higher now.)
After getting killed and got revenge on Tom Tit Tat I went after this crawler and with quite low levels so the first few times I had to 2-hour to survive. I even got killed 2 times.
I then thought that when people wrote "Tom Tit Tat 2/13", for example, it meant that they got killed 11 times and killed him twice or maybe the other way around. Lol.
It was quite a big area and I met him at least at five different places. Mostly where the river ends though but also as far as at the yagudo-camp or at the tower. There was not many other campers but always someone (like with Jaggedy-Eared Jack) so there was always a risk that I was at the wrong end when he popped.
I gave up after killing him 7 times and did some other things but after a few weeks I happened to pass by and there was two guys that pretended that this was some kind of supersecret (I had already read everything about Spiny here on Allakhazam). Never trust anyone when NM-camping anyway. One of them was just standing at the cross-roads infront of the tower while the other ran around, I even thought he was AFK (he was probably using widescan and giving instructions to his friend).
All of a sudden the one standing still started to yell after his friend that must have d/ced or something. He asked me if I had seen him and I told him the thruth that I last saw him around the yagudo-camp so he ran off and guess who comes up around the corner after the ranger disappeared? And this time I got the drop... And I'm still using it...
