Contents [hide]

General Information

Lottery spawn of the Damselflies that spawn from (D-8) through (F-8) in Valkurm Dunes

PH Info from Smokesalot

The PH is the mob the prevents the NM from spawning until it is killed. In the case of the Valkurm Emperor, it is one of the Damselflies that roams about Whitesands beach in Valkurm Dunes.

What a kagillion people refuse to take into their minds is that VE has ONE placeholder, and that's it. Go to the beach with Widescan ability, and position yourself at the peak of the sandhill just northwest of the pack of trees in the middle of the beach. Pull up WS, and you'll see something like this.

Damselfly
Goblin Mugger
Goblin Leecher
Goblin Gambler
Sniper

Thread Leech
Thread Leech
Thread Leech
Thread Leech
Thread Leech
Goblin Mugger
Goblin Leecher
Goblin Gambler

  • Respawn time is roughly one to four hours after its last ToD.

This is a truncated list, but as you can see the PH is located in the set of four Damselflies between the leeches and the snipers, and is always the top one. These flies are always grouped in four, and are always located between the snipers and the thread leeches. When VE pops your list will look like this...

Sniper
Sniper
Sniper
Damselfly
Damselfly
Damselfly
Valkurm
Emperor
Thread Leech
Thread Leech
Thread Leech
Thread Leech

VE always pops on the bottom of the list. If there aren't four flies in the list, that means someone else is killing them. Either nearby parties, or other campers. If this is happening, you have to figure out a way to nab yourself the PH, and be 100% sure that the fly you kill is the PH. After that, go ahead and let the other campers waste their time killing the other flies.

Valkurm Emperor Special Attacks

  • Venom - Frontal cone AoE Water based magic damage with an additional Poison effect.
  • Cursed Sphere - AoE Darkness based magic damage (Circle of effect originates from attack target)

The way that the following items are acquired has been changed:
Archer Ring, Leaping Boots, Emperor Hairpin, Peacock Charm
In addition, players may receive an EX/Rare or EX item with the same attributes from the monsters who previously dropped each of the above items.

Maybe on your server gilsellers hunt this NM but on my server this is how many others, and I, make money. we are legitiamate players not gilsellers, and i can say w/o this NM i would not have made it to the level i am today. imo, this update isnt very effective gilseller-wise on my server, maybe if they made okotes r/ex cause the gilsellers seem to ***** that here, not VE or LL, not even argus really.

Sounds like you are whinning, make your gil the way others do, by hard work, not by monopolizing drops that people need (that crap just hurts people who pt with jobs who use the itmes they just recently changed). It might seem like i am coming across angry but enough is enough, i am on titan and our pin and boots before update were up to 1 million +, now they are bottoming out, so far to 600K. IMO this was a great update and i am glad SE finally did something besides sit around and make long updates delaying days of game play.

The reason this does hurt gilsellers (even if they don't camp it) is because now players won't have to buy it because the claim is monopolized and can now instead fight the NM.

Just my 2 gil.

omg this is like the big ****** section of the forums. before i flame this mattaroo newbie and the newbs hes confused....................

camped emp day after update, 1/2 on empress. seems like its still the same. 4-5 placeholders. 2 on each side. 1 in the middle. nm can spawn within an hour i do believe.

now.. WHO THE HECK IS THIS MATTAROO PERSON? /sigh. solo emp as 25 thf? w/o pd? lmao. good luck with that one . i soloed at lv 34 or so once. it wasnt easy. spam bloodys. cap evasion. eva gear. etc. i dunno who this kid is but i wish i could personaly blist him from everything. cause reading his posts and even looking at his screenshots has made ME more newbish. ill just leave it at that.

lol. and its easy. fraps can take screenshots of your current screen. not really third party program cause it doesnt effect ffxi or pol. it is illegal tho. most likely. considering you have to bring up the copyright to take screens in game.

If hes on a computer he doesnt need a 3rd party program, If you look at all the pictures they are all taken at different events based on ppl hes with and equip he has on. Meaning all he would have to do is hit the "Print Screen" key then paste it in the "Paint" Program(or a different program)and save it. Therefore theres no proof of a 3rd party program.

In the july 19 update, SE is finally getting rid of those pesky gilsellers... The Valkurm Emperor will no longer drop the Emperor Hairpin, but an EX/rare item with the same stats, will be dropped!!!

VE will still drop the hairpin, with a chance of a similar RARE/EX item. It may take care of gil sellers, but it would more likely make camping a bigger problem, as more people would go camp, with hopes for both items: RARE/EX for personal use and the orig. version for sale.

Valkurm Emporer WILL NOT still drop the Emporer Hairpin. The Emporer Hairpin will be acquired in a different way. Either through BCNM fight, or by another NM. The Valkurm Emporer will now drop an item with identical stats to the Emporer Hairpin, but will be Rare/Ex

4 Spawn points
90m -6h 30m Spawn time
Decent Drop rate can get 100% i think with TH4
(TH4 = TH2 + Lucky Egg + some THF dagger thats probably 70+)
Overly Camped (most of the time)

Camp pos
1. E/F-7 The central Trees
2. E/F-7 the Trees to the east of central
3. C/D-7 wall between the south wall and the cliff
4. (E-8 probably)North of Central (havent seen pop but saw the claim after a few seconds)

so far 1/2
1st time was legit power crossbow pull at Central got drop went on the get leaping boots in the same day
2nd time i watched a THF die tryin to kill it, called for help b4 he died cause i wouldnt kill the links. waited for help to wear and killed it no drop, deserved it, not one of my prouder moments
oh ya

about those packet sniffers
# Jul 13 2005 at 4:25 AM Rating: Default
the people u assume are packet sniffers should know where it pops , hence he reason of them camping WITHOUT widescan and fleeing to VE / the spot holder :O so . . . them running to a fly when VE pops under these conditions w/o widescan would be some ****** packet sniffer or they have widescan. . .

# Jul 13 2005 at 4:24 AM Rating: Default
all u ******* and ******** against me can suck my balls, just cuz im 0/1 on argus doesnt mean im solo , just cuz i use TH1 doesnt mean my VE record isnt real, and therE IS a secret and its not just ******* widescanning fast and those people who flee early probably arent packet sniffers they are using the last tod to get flee up before it pops, see a damselfly pop assume thats the spotholder and start running to it while respawn window is still open , OMGZ ve popped **** wrong fly **** me they miss it , packet sniffers (i have screenshots) do show where they have an on screen map with targets and an autorunning system so u can all suck my balls . .*******
