Braveheart  

I guess I guess that I was lucky. Buddy killed it twice yesterday, no drop. I got on this morning, killed the No'Mho (got the shield) then came up to this baddie, and got the Braveheart.

Nice.

Actually, it just seems like they have low accuracy. It mostly has to do with the longer delay on most of the Drk weapons, so that those misses seem to count for much more than they really do.



Before the enchanted rings, this was perhaps the only way to supplement acc. Now however:

Vision Rings: Dex+1 Enchantment Acc+5. Check yourlocal AH, they are a godsend. Low level Sniper's rings, and if you have a job that needed to be unlocked, you can probably afford a pair, or at least one.

Eating Sushi pre-50 is just retarded. If you aren't eating it for +enmity or double attack+1%(only reasons I can see to use it, maybe?), then don't eat it. Rice Dumplings(Att%+ and Acc+5) are far better.

Hey, this is to talk about the SWORD, if you want to talk about killing the quadav or not finding him after X hours and what not go here

i just got this 5 mins ago as a MNK 29/ RNG 10
so am currently 1/3
i personally enjoy NM hunting cause this sucker is 40k on the siren server ><

hmm...I was wandering around there one day and saw this guy. I'm a 30RDM/15WHM and killed this guy and got the Braveheart. I came back an hr and half later and killed him again...got Braveheart again. So, 2/2 for me. 1st time was on Lightsday at noon and 2nd time was on Darksday at 1800.

I'm at like 0/5 on getting this, I almost always get the coarse gauntlets. My friend happens to be 1/3, I guess I should get my thf up to 15 for treasure hunter.

Ive killed this guy so far 4 times with no drop with a lvl 29 war/drk Do you guys think If i sub a thf even tho its lvl 1 it will icrease the chance of this guys dropping?

Wow i feel sorry for you guys.. My pt was running around doing something but i wondered off and i was killing thing as a rdm/thf.. ohh yea key hunting.. then i found the guy just pop up.. i said brb to my pt disbanded shot an arrow at him.. Cast refresh and bound him and then nuked him then ran in with my puny fluret and killed him.. Got braveheart and return to my pt and got the keys

No one on my server was selling Braveheart anywhere, so when I heard that it was being sold in the AH in Jeuno, I rushed over there. The price history said 18,000 gil, but I only had 6,500 or so. I decided to bid, just on the chance that someone somewhere was really dumb or really nice. Dumb is much more likely. I got it for 6,500 gil!! MWUAHAHAHA!! I love this sword. The accuracy helps my half-blind Elvaan so much. And when the time comes, I'll make a NICE profit. ^_^

I killed the Boneeater at least 7 times in a row, 3 straight days, and got no drops. He spawns after about 1.5 hours, so let that sink in. each day I spent nearly a 12 hour period being the ONLY person to kill him, and got no drop with a lvl 36 thf.

yet it gets worse, because I also witnesses people kill him, and managed to get in a kill or 2 with competition. all in all, Id witness him die 28 times, with NO DROPS FOR ANYONE!!! what the hell is that?

apparently treasure hunter does nothing for NM drops.
apparently time of day, moon size, etc have nothing to do with it, because I killed it 12 straight hours(i read someone say darksday increases drop to 85%, I killed him 3 times on 3 different darksdays, so even if Id killed him 10 times and gotten it each time after these 3, thats only 70%.)
apparently it doesnt drop once in a 24 hour period, or so it would seem, because most of the time I had no competition and there were none on AH the entire time I was hunting him. I'd check everytime after Id killed him. i suppose its possible that 3 different people happened to kill him 3 different times when I was asleep or at work, got the drop, and kept it... no, thats not possible.

conclusions: im a conspiracy nut, so Im thinking some jerk GM put a freeze on the drop because he saw me go there, and wanted me to waste 3 days of my life because he knew that I would. also, since I know blms with a better NM record than my thf has with the same NMs, I must conclude that either the game is faulty, or Im being prejudiced, and therefore square-enix owes me 3 months backpay. Im sure thatll come anyday now.

heres to the guy who doesnt even know there are NM in an area and gets the drop on their one and only kill

This is a fantastic weapon thats worth 30-35k on the Bahamut server. A bit pricy but worth it for all of the stat boostings, DRK's really are felt with this weapon, so go for it.

I have stop in the exact location as web site say. It really spawn in the middle of room...

I catch him 1st time at ground floor since some some newbie try to escape, I kill him easily.

2-4 time I have wait him in the room, clean all the mob and it usually spawn around 1 hour time.

I got the gloves 1st 3 times and braveheart at 4th, whole time scale is 3.5 hours, and I was using 30THF with Lvl20 Equipment.

It is nice to save 20K for my DRK.

When Im using my warrior I use this sword (cost me 23k on Seraph)

The great thing about this sword is the stats boost. Ideally other weapons might have more dps (damage per second) however the +2 DEX and +5 accuracy makes it so you miss less, thus making the dps for braveheart higher. Its also great for fighting low level mobs for farming or escorting since unlike other high damage weapons where the battle might go on for 30 seconds due to a couple misses, the braveheart helps avoid these misses

Remember though that when you /check the high evasion is compared to your stats- so although this sword may make former high evasions check normally, you still probably will miss high evasion mobs.

I fought him as a lvl 31/12 war/thf and i got it on the first drop. 2nd time i fought him i got course leggings. Sylph server

Who do i kill to get this sword or there is no specific monster

I have camped that prick all day, Killed him 9 times and not once did he drop that sword. Hey is the sword that good that it is going to make me want to spend another 10 hrs camping this guy or is the lvl 20 mercenary sword good enough i have that at least

Very nice blade. A touch expensive though for it's level. On ramuh they sell for 15-30k. Very high accuracy as a war18/mnk9. I hit even con mobs 90% of the time. :>
