I was bored and my MNK is sitting at 67 so I figured I should get to work on the belt quests. I already had the Rampaging horn from farming in Konchant so I deceided to give this Lambert a shot. Well, I get a tele and this first thing I see on ws is Bloodtear Baldurf. I knew I couldn't take him as a 75 rng so I just went over to see who would kill him and see if they were kind enough to give the horn.
I get over to the fight to find a PLD/NIN and WHM duo'ing him. A japanese BLM and THF watching off to the side. I sent the PLD a /tell asking if I could have the horn if they didn't need it. First thing he said was <Gilfinder) <Can I have it?> Which is the same conversation I imagine he was having with the Japanese.
The only thing I could think of was at least RMT will give you a rare/ex drop like that 90% of the time, cause usally they are going for the big money drops. Then after they beat him to my astonishment he actually said 300k to whoever wants it. I was like "Are you crazy?", followed by the very disapointed Japanese that said <Monk> <Waist> <Auction> 300k= <No thanks> and warping out immediatly.
Well, let them just let it drop. Now I have about 16 ram horns, 20 ram skins and my nice Lumbering Horn for my troubles. So I made gil and completed my quest. Better than wasting my precious gil on that kind of junk.
I just hope someday down the road that person needs help and he gets the exact same response for something he needs.
Thanks for reading and to add in some useful info as opposed to a rant/story, it took about 1 and 1/2 hours from the TOD on Bloodtear Baldurf for Lumbering Lambert to respawn. I would say that it's safe to say he's a lottery pop on the southern ram. I have heard people have waited up to 3 hours for pop so I would say that the lottery window is 1 and 1/2 hours to 3 hours. Good Luck!
