So far I have killed Spiny Spipi twice. Once I was on the way to windurst and get interrupted by someone, to cut a long story short decided to join him in fighting Bitoso (BCNM 30 Crawler) anyways whilst heading back to windurst I decided to take a trip to K-6 (I have camped Spiny before but never seen him) anyways there are 2 crawlers there, one called Spipi Spiny, didn't take long and drops, Silk thread and MIST SILK CAPE ^^ (I got it but gave the guy some Mannequin feet I had laying around for a few weeks). To note we found Spiny at K-6 and neither of us had Treasure Hunter, we were 37WHM/BLM(me) and 31RDM/BLM Tokai(sp?) on Remora Server.

And then whilst raising Summoning magic for an avatar fight, since I wanted more from my sub-job then just MP, MND and Carby. I decided to raise my magic level at J-6/J-7 since I was away from the n00bs at Windurst who ask for PL for Free, away from most aggroing enemy and I knew Spiny Spawned around there. just after hitting 3MP (not enough for any spell I can think of as a 20SMN/WHM) Spiny Spawns just West of me (J-6/J-7? West part of J). After a tough fight all I get is a silk thread but I wasn't going to go around killing all the crawlers since I have more important matters to attend to. so at the moment on mist silk cape I am 1/2 ^^.

I also Battled Spiny another time as my other character a Mithra 9BLM/RDM (just to get to level 30 quickly) used 2H and full MP toke Spiny down to about 1/4 - 1/5HP. only +INT was my Windurstian Ring. At level 10 I might have been able to take it. I think almost any class at level 12 with sub, Could take this NM, maybe with a bit of a fight. (The person who got Spiny Spipi didn't get the drop tho anyways). This time Spiny was at (J-6/J-7 again but middle of J)

Well this is under my friends post. I learned Spipi from this thread, i was in depserate need of money cause my equipment for my sam was running low. A couple friends suggested Spipi as a Good NM to make money. As of right now im 5/8 for Spipi, if there are any doubts just ask my LS members lol! I have read most of the posts and id say that from my own experience, Spipi is too easy! For the ones that never get the drop i suggest that you use thief for this NM. The first 3 times i camped Spipi i got the drop all 3 times, other times that i didnt get the drop was more likely cause someone got the drop that day. Spawn time is 1hr to 2hrs. I usually sub war with thief to be able to own it first. She is a really fun NM to camp and if you dont get the drop, you will more than likely have enough silk to sell at the AH. Kill all the crawlers in the area that this map suggests. I hope you guys have fun and Good luck!! ^_^

the reason most people dont get the drop is cause they run around ONLY looking for him. You must kill crawlers because 1 of them within his spawn time (whatever it is) is like his spawn timer (makes him pop when he is sposed to) if u dont kill him then youll have to wait till his next scheduled spawn time. Which really sux so kill whatever crawlrs you can see and he will pop when he is sposed to.

Killed Spiny about 11 or 12 times now, on several different jobs and lvls.

I've gotten 5 capes so far. Best results came from lvl 9MNK/WAR. what you need is 300% tp when you go in the battle. Then open with combo. Then 2 hour. Then laugh. Combo again whenever. (I kept my secondary chara's mnk at lvl 9 for quite a while just to do this)

Because your lvl is about equal to Spiny's you'll get a good drop rate (I'm guessing this is how it works). The only downside is the gobs in the area might aggro. Use the mandies in the area for tp, and kill off the Crawlers for silk as you wait.

And as for using the 2hour slowing you down, I've found the spawn time to be more like one and a half hours. But maybe thats just me.

Also, the map shows clearly right where it spawns.

Near seen it very close to the tower to Horutoro.

I don't really think any phases effect the drops, its a bit like Silk dropping from crawlers, sometimes you have to kill 5 or more before anything drops. Its a low drop rate.

First off I hunt Spipi ALOT, so this post can be concidered very credible. He is a fun NM to hunt and the respawn is approxamtitley 1 hour from previous spawn. This is also only if you kill all cralwers in the spawning area pretty much continuously. Hope this helps. Good Luck ^^
Spiny :(

I was hunting Spipi last night with a LS friend of mine. We were there for 3 hours before we found any trace of him. We found him on darksday at i think 16:00.
When we got there, there was a taru beating on him. We were so pissed cos we were there for 3 hours and when he finally shows hes claimed(my friend had spammed widescan too, that was the only spawn for 3 hours).
The taru seemed truthful, and said he didnt get the drop, but it would have been nice to fight spipi anyway. Well, maybe next time.
Lucky Day

After workign hard yesterday powerleveling cooking, I decided to farm crawlers to get some silk to recoup some of my loss. I took my 30WAR/ 15 MNK out and I was oneshotting these buggers. I engaged one and realized, this is strange. I'm not 1 shotting, or even 2 shotting this one. I finally check the name. I'm 1/1 on this guy. Also got some silk thread.
