right me and my friend camped this gye i was lv30rng/war for voek and he was 30rdm/war needles to say preaty easy kill first time we got wand and second time we got Priest robe, easy NM and good drop if ur paitent it spawns in place of a Neckchopper about ever hour(real time) so keep killing the orcs, there usually isint a need to have voke but its good just in case
Well, I was mining in the Grotto right now, and as I came down it, I ran through the small archway, pressing TAB looking for a mining point when my cursor hits Ashmaker...unclaimed. I ran into the room and saw a dragoon fighting two orcs. Apparently, he was the camper. So, I locked onto Ashy Orc and readied attack....and remembered I had no weapon with me lol.
I'm a level 50 PLD and had a lv 18 blm sub for the Warp. Needless to say, after I ran out of mp for spells, it took quite a while to kill him, lol. The whole time, the dragoon is pissed and hoping I'll die, and he can claim it. Yea right. Ash was doing 5-7 points of damage on me, and missing every 5 out of 6 hits lol.
So yea, I got the hermits wand, not bad, about 10-12k right now. Better than a Copper Ore!
30war/15whm... decided to camp this guy so i could get the priests robe... killed him 3 times so far and no robe drop... but a hermits wand droped all 3 times which is for a lvl 13+ mage... as far as i can tell the map shows the correct spot for the spawning of ashmaker gutblut... on carbuncle server robe is going for about 45k and wand for about 8k
I killed this guy 3 times as a lvl 30WAR/15MNK and got the robe once. He seems to spawn once every hour and spawns in the exact same spot. I reccomend waiting till your strong enough so the other orcs don't aggro otherwise it'll make things difficult. This guy also uses chainspell.
i've been camping him lately, i've seen him spawn on the far (more northern) side of the room in addition to his customary spawn point. got the drop last night, took an hour to spawn. spawn window is an hour to an hour and a half between when you kill him, kill his placeholder (neckchopper) and kill him again.
im on Alaecander and this mob isnt camped very much im 0/3 on the robe but every time i kill this thing i get the wand the robe is going for 60k and the wand for about 7k
hey guys, i would like to say hi to all , buy my "?" is what would be a good lvl to take this guy down, i am a lvl 20 monk with a sub war, would i be able to solo, or should i bring along a small party with me, or would a lvl 20 Blm and myself be able to take him out??
Today was my first day playing FFXI in 5 months, I just restored my character. I come back with no equipment or gil of any kind. So I decide to go around Yughott to get a little gil and camp this guy. With 15 mintues, he pops, I'm the only one there. I kill him, and I get the drop. Worth 90k on Quetzalcoatl. It was a great way to return to the game. My first NM drop, no less.
this is my fav NM u can camp and mine..hardly anyone camps it and i usually get him first if they do. im 5/15 on him i dont camp him often only when im in sandy and bored. always clear the space holders first then he will spawn.
personally i like this nm, there is hardly anyone every camping him, everytime i have killed him i was able to sneak attack him. Even if the drop rate for robe isnt good u still get the wand which is like 10k on my server, also u can run around and mine while ur waiting for that hour to roll by. i think im 0/6 on him but still trying
hello! On Kujata Ashmaker is camped often. My Linkshell is full of miners so alot of the time it is us^^. 7k for the "stick", and I belive around 80k for the robe.
well i was in a garrison with a bunch of noobs the other day....leader doesnt have anyone with item....so we go to farm a cryptex or 2.... Ranger is first to yughott, im second, i tell him to widescan for ashmaker....he doesnt reply, apparently too lazy or fighting something....i walk over and none other then ashmaker in his little room ^_^ Kill him, priest robe, the ranger being only other person in grotto agrees i did it all its mine and passes :) We ended up with 3 cryptex but the noobs didnt know how to kite so we got owned the first time and i left cuz an idiot who used benediction was telling me not to zone and calling me a noob when we were at 10 people(out of 18 so we had full mobs), still on 3rd wave :\ End result:hour and a half for a priest robe, not too bad :) So i guess im 1/1 on this guy, spipi too ^^
I've camped this guy for a week now and I can say the map is 100% right. He only spawns in that little room. Take an hour to an hour and a half to spawn. Mining while waiting is good. I'm 2/13 on the drop...I was 2/3 at one point, but gotten 10 straight wands...I think I single handedly caused their price to drop from oversupply...oops...Heh. Wands now 7k and robe 60k.
I was just going with mt friends and fellow LS members, Amasido and Tai, to do Mission 2-3 for Tai, and this thing happened to jump Tai. I check it and it's like Impossible to Gauge. So, figuring, hey, you don't see one everyday, I decided to kill it. I got the wand, which I figured was the drop, and was quite happy until I figured out it sold for 7K. Then I read these posts that say Priest Robe is the drop, and now my faith is restored that low level NMs, other than the specific ones outside major cities, can drop decent items too. ^^
Okay so I've been camping this guy for a couple days when I have the time. I have learned he spawns every hour (or once a game day) and you have to kill the four place holders in the area. I am currently 1/4 on this guy. I was 0/3 as a 23THF/11WAR when a friend from my LS came to help who was a 38THF so we had two people with Treasure Hunter in the party when we go the drop. It is going for 100k on my server so the 50k a piece was nice. Happy hunting.
2/56 on priests robe, every other time is the damn wand, but he seems to spawn every time i kill everything in the area... ok edit, it doesnt spawn every time i killl everything, so my bad, but the robe goes for 60k and wand is 4k on my server, which has been a steady price for atleast a year now. i feel bad for the 100k guy, must have horrible inflation. its funny too, whenever hes finally done trying to debuff me hes already dead , monks are teh best.
I've killed this guy like eleventy billion times now. I've gotten robe once and a bunch of wands. He's spawned every hour on the hour for me and everytime I go to camp him he spawns within 5 minutes of me killing surrounded orcs. Wand is 6k and Robe is 60k on Leviathan.

I killed this guy not even 5 minutes ago. I was waiting for him, as my level 41RDM/17BLM and during a train I made out of boredome, he linked and started to attack me. I purposely made the fight take forever, not sure why. >.> Got a picture for rememberence. I only got the wand, which goes for about 10K on the Cerberus server.
I camped this guy for 9 kills got nothing but freaking wands the whole time! Then I decided to go level my THF to 15 for Treasure Hunter I, then i went back as 50 RDM/15 THF and got the robe first drop, havent been back since!
one of the best NMs for the low levels because he spawns in about 54 minutes killin all orcs in area and kill bats and do the sandy quest easy money and fame building can't go wrong
lol i was just minning and fighting some gobs, so then i see my mp was low. so i wested for mp, and guess who aggroed? mister Ashmaker. killed him and got robe.
I checked Jeuno and the Hermit Wands were up to 10k, so i figured i could get a few more of the wands, i used to camp Ashy pretty heavy. first time he pops, i claim it, with a level 10wtm and a level 50wtm from the same linkshell camping it, i kill it really easy, got the robe! i got the robe on my second time killing ashy and now my 50th or so.
