Consider,ur life taken away if u really want to hunt this thing and get the drop.Camp,and find out pop time,when ur going there for the first time,use the bats in the room where argus pops as ur taunt target.Well if u go there to camp without knowing when leech king or argus was killed last,thats the hard part.U either have to wait 1 hr-20hr+ who the hell knows.Anyway theres indication either any will pop if theres a ranger hunting it.Ranger has scan which means,if either leech or argus pop,he can use flee to get to the other side asap.Once,when i was in argus room campin.Lvl 75 rng/37thf suddenly used flee to get to leech room,surprising all of the people camping in argus room.I followed him there,and there he was fighting the leech king.Well thats all but,for all u guys wanting to get peacock,it dont come easy.....if u dont get it after camping it for a long time and lost it to someone else,dont get mad,get a good rest,come back next day and hunt again for hrs.....and hrs.. Did it for a hardcore 9 days....before i got the drop.Needless to say,u can see why it costs so much..

Posted:Feb 06 2004 at 12:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) All I have to say about the last post is ********* I don't believe you for a single second that you killed Argus twice, let alone got 2 drops in a row.
That is cool if you don't want to believe me but anyone on Cerberus... check the Jeuno AH and if you see him, Liiphen. There is your proof, yo.
As for how we killed it twice -- the 1st time we camped the hell out of it. The 2nd time we strolled out there expecting to camp it again and it was alone in the room hangin' out. This was during the time when people were not able to log back on to FFXI. So we got lucky and now I am set up nicely for the rest of the game.
Yeah me and my friends camped this NM, and on the 22nd hour it spawned. We killed it, and it dropped. Then we went back a day later when no one could log on. Killed it again and needless to say, we have a lot of cash. So it is very worth it.
Well first off this NM spawns 24-36 hours. Second the drop rate is about 1-5% from what I've heard from Japanese players. So I think you're full of it!!! You make other players' efforts look worthless. You must have killed something else probably King Leech, but not even, I just don't believe you. :p
Accualy no the drop rate SUX I have now killed Argus 5 times with no drop and will continue to kill him till I get 1 . there is no way you can say the drop rate is good ... or the peocock charm wouldent be worth sh*T because once you know the Pop times he isnt THAT hard of a camp.
For my Ranger, Id love this item. It'd be my best friend, or my monk or sam. But 3mil in gil is SWEET! Considering people sell 100k for $100 (Which has to be the d (umbest **** ever) You can buy almost everything you want. Its like paradise...I havent made up my mind If i'd hunt this or not...Kinda suicidal to me
Gagazet Server Quezetalcoatl (Whatever its called) Current Job : Ranger lvl 8 :(
is it just me or is it useless to try to camp this item...i had camped there for hours on end and it never spawned..i later found out that the japanese players know when it is going to spawn and make it almost imposible for american players...anyone got anything to help me out
no, japanese do not know the exact spawn time for argus. This is how the spawn for argus works.
His spawn time is 24 hours, plus or minus 12 hours. Meaning you will have to wait a max of 46 hours for argus to spawn. In addition to that, there is an NM named leech king, with a 500k drop in a room near argus' spawn. If the leech king spawns, argus doesn't spawn. This also applies vice versa. Unless you're extremely paitent, or you're lucky, you should probably give up on argus. Most people that camp argus are 50+ and there is almost always at least 3 people in his spawn area during night.
whoever said this necklace sucks *** obviously has no idea what they are talking about... granted i would never pay 3 million for it but as a samurai accuracy +10 is about the best item i could ask for.
im not sure about it but when 5 acc equal 10 dex right... and ive seen lvl 75 drk the other day having his additional acc +75 that was liek **** worthy more than 20 millio on him + adaman hauber k ; ;... well i counted about 70+ acc=140 dex Oo. LOL i dont think what you said above is true ... but if its that even cooler

Um becuase for 1 Ranger is the most powerful job in game. Whine you lil Taru Black Mage. You are not top tog. These stats benefit any class that plays Ranger. Well worth 3 million. Yes! Why? Becuase someone spent days there camping that mob. Not lvling. Just sitting there. So the 3 mill is payment for the work they did. :P

I've fought him in a party of 2. A lvl 45 war/rdm, galka, and me, a lvl 45 thf/rng. I was waiting in leech king room, while the war was waiting in argus room. The war used 2 hr first, and got his hp down quite a bit while I sneak attacked. The war died, and I also used my 2hr. Argus was left with about 1/20 hp and I died. A sam in full af took it and got no drop.
Here are the mistakes we made: I didn't sub war. He didn't sub mnk. I didn't have full hp when argus popped, I was about 200 hp from full. When the war died, he didn't respawn and switch leader to me in time, there was someone else near us that wanted to help us, but dead people can't invite.
Overall, we got lucky enough for our blades to even touch argus, but we didn't expect, nor did we prepare for this fight.
I've never seen him, but I wouldn't fight him alone. I've fought the Leech King, who is also the same level and it wasn't hard when I was a BLM Lvl 47.
I'd take a party with you if you were lower level than that. Also, be prepared to compete with 3-5 Japanese players (at all times) who are trying to get him.
