I just spent a couple hours as THF with TH1 and 4-leaf mandy bud in Giddeus, and got no nin gear at all from these guys. Is it just the ones in Tahrongi and Meri that drop gear?
a reply to Arianniaa's post OF COURSE THEY"RE HARDER THEN MENDICANTS AND PIPERS they're not hitting u with a wimpy litle dagger or club, great katanas hurt alot more
Best way to fight these fools is a SC, if not in a party pummle them one at a time with much distance between. Remember that your inicial skill is better than the secondary weapon skill in most cases at a higher level if you arnt SCing. The beads, you can keep 4 of them and give them to the Cat burgler in the mithra chill place, why you would be in leauge with a criminal goes over my head but whatever works to get power...right?

You commonly see these mobs roaming around the center of Tahrongi and also I have seen alot of them near the zone to Meriphataud Mountains. They have a pretty cool looking samurai sword, which makes sense, since they are a smaurai class type mob.
Even at Level 15 and 16, you will still see some of these that con even and tough near the zone to Meriphataud. They are harder than Yagudo Mendicants and Yagudo Pipers of the same level.
