Jus bought for 1k on Odin...lol WTF 30k?

I killed about 50-75+ yesterday with a few friends with no drop. Tonight killed around 35 of them with another friend who has TH4. We finally got the drop on the last one. There are some located in E-7/F-7 of Vunkerl Inlet [S] which con easy prey and decent challenge to 75.

Good luck to all while hunting them, and keep your patience.

yea i've been fighting these suckers for a while since a 14% waning crescent and currently i'm at new moon 0% and their plenilune embrace move was curing around 400-490 but at 0% it has been curing around 240-260 HP each time so they have been mad easy, also ive been soloing as a 75 drg/whm so i've noticed their attack speed is pretty slow compared to things i'm used to soloing like puks and colibris...but yea ive been at this four hours now with no claw drop, this is ridiculous, the drop rate is horrendous and not having TH makes it that much worse ... also i <3 the pixies just randomly comin along and givin cure IV's also they dont hit that hard, from about 25-60 normal hit and 100-120 crit, all in all an easy solo for a drg/mage and i'm not even wearing a drachen armet, but as the moon got a little fuller again they got more difficult, faster attack speeds, more dmg per hit, plenilune embrace cured for more again and so on, so be careful around these if there is a pretty full moon.

P.S. While writing this message i finally obtained the claw...after only like 150 kills -_-

Yea these suckers are pretty stingy with the drop, and meleeing them really coaxes them to use Plenilune Embrace. Also, I've noticed at night, they have a pretty quick HP regen that makes em hard to solo if ur sleep nuking them.. That's how i've been killin em on my rdm/blm.. what a bitch drop

So far my kill counts a bit over 200 for the damned claw. >.< (about 40 on jugner ones)

I've killed a ton of these with TH4 and the claws still refuse to drop. If you're trying to get a claw for the Bastok quest, I recommend just buying the item on the AH. Soloing the gnoles can be quite hard due to their Plenilune Embrace TP attack that can heal anywhere from 1000 to 1223 HP.

Be careful, and patient.

dropped of Gnoles north of jugner forest [s] zone and Decrepit gnoles all over jugner forest [s]. I've found killing these in groups at least of 2-3 is harder,. i haven't confirmed this, but it seems the more people in the party the more the gnoles HP recovery move heals them. i was duoing the ones in batallia with a PLD and he'd recover almost half his hp each time, when i solo'd them they were only getting like 1/8th hp back maybe a little more. again i don't know if this is a fact but that's just how it seemed, we had to zone an Easy Prey one in batallia me and the pld, alone i never even had them use the move more than once because they were dead before they could get a second one off.

dropped 2/15+ for me, i've heard 0/40+ though.

i'm so tired up all day farming one, just got Deafdude his drop, , Batilla Downs [S]

we farmed for over 7hrs be4 one dropped, so it has a Poor drop rate

Obtainable by killing Gnols in Past around D-6 in Batilla Downs[S]
(sorry noticed i forgot teh area name)

and those things from the back look like Fenrir

and watch it 2or better be in your party or you'll get wiped, , this sob has a HP regen move that recovers 1000HP..

Cureent setup for my 3 person party and we kill pretty Quick
DRG75/WHM37 (me)
MNK75/NIN37 ("chucknoris")
WAR57/NIN28 (deafdude)

(noticed this is used for some Bastok Quest.. )
