Running back from Castle Zvahl, I saw her sitting just north of that big, round plateau (East of the slope heading to Castle Zvahl, west of the slope leading to Uleguerand Range; just inside the bottom left corner of G-7). I logged real quick to see if I could solo her and what she dropped, but could find barely any info on her. Out of all the sites I use for info, only 2 mentioned it, and the info was sparse.

I logged back in and it hadn't moved, so I popped a Taco and equipped my full VIT gear, and voked it (already had Protect and Shell up). Worst case scenario, I had a free warp back to Jeuno (I'd forgotten my Warp scroll). Grabbed it quickly as it was 5:11 (possibly Darkness weather, but not sure about that), and I had read it possibly despawns at daytime.

Pulled it to the slope leading to Uleguerand to avoid low HP aggro from the nearby undead. 65PLD, killed it w/o too much trouble, took about 8 minutes. It didn't do much dmg with its physical attacks or spells, and its spikes only did 2-4 dmg, and often 0. I used my MP for healing only, and finished with less than 500HP and no MP (nver used 2hr). Gave me 23xp (someone can calculate the level from that, I'm sure) and around 3k gil, but no drop.

Since I had ToD, I decided to camp it the next day. I was covering mostly (G-7/8) around that plateau, and there was a WHM there covering (F-7/8) and killing the ghosts incase hey were PH. We were both there for over 24hrs (she was there before I logged in and long after I left). Neither of us saw a spawn the entire time (she had even recruited a RNG friend for Widescan). Right around what should have been teh 24hr mark, SE did some on-the-fly maintainence, so that may have had something to do with it never showing, I dunno.

Only one Lucent Cape ever sold on AH on Seraph Server, for 400k.

I got this one with some of my friends on the first day after big update. We were helping my blm41 friend with her AF weapon and took out our npcs afterwards for the first time and went to have a look at ulegurand range. Right at the base of the western ramp up to the cliff that the zone to uleg is on, was this NM. Our setup was 65ishpld 60sam 54rdm 41blm and I can confirm it was nighttime during the fight but i cant remember the exact time. We werent really prepared and the npcs had left before the fight but with sam and pld 2hrs we took it down with no trouble though it was a long fight. We got lucent cape and were the first ones to put it on AH on sylph (yay).
