SE made this into a drop from a BCNM...why the hell would they do that...on my server all teh gilsellers are in their own little parties and they just have to beat it...thats like handing them the NM with a slightly tougher fight

You are forgetting the whole background of BCNM. Its not merely a captive fight that you can just walk into. They have to save up seals in order to get the orbs. Since you can only get seals from EP or higher, and they don't drop as much as crystals, its not really something you can just do at the drop of a hat. On top of that, its not a guaranteed drop I think. Like Endrew said, it levels the playing field by allowing everyone access.

moving the peacock charm into a bcnm also gave real players a chance to get the thing or camp for an exact same item that isnt sellable, which removed gilsellers from the shakrami. much better i say the price dropped about 12 mil on siren

10 million on Leviathan. 10 acc, big woop. Nice to have, but I could buy 2 snipers for 1 mil and get the same effect. Prices are getting ridiculous.

10 million is 1 mil an acc pt. That's like saying 2 DEX is worth 1 million.

Actually, it may not be worth it to you, but its worth it to others. I find it well worth the money because +10 Acc and Rng Acc at lvl 33 is a LOT to have. Not to mention its got the highest accuracy boost of any non-exclusive item in the game. I've been using spectacles and saving up for the charm for a little while now because it'll come in very handy on my Nin DD as well as giving my Nin as much ranged accuracy as possible when throwing Winds at Gods and what-not.

You may think that you're better off using sniper's, but keep in mind that they both take up 2 slots while the charm only takes up 1. You can use 2 sniper's and spike necklace and get +10 acc with +3 to Str and Dex, or p.charm with a Thunder and Flame ring... to get even more stats.

You basically have to think about the item as a whole rather than see what it does and its price. It takes consideration of alot of things to determine what is and what isn't a good piece of gear.

rate up ^^

by equipping the charm and upping your skill, you leave your ring spaces open, to add 2 more snipers rings, then your accuracy is even higher. its the things that add up. the sum of the parts is greater then the whole. O.o or something along those lines.

You all realize accuracy caps though right. I'd rather focus on upping the damage curve with STR rings to get past the mob's DEF.

Common misconception:
"Accuracy helps you hit mobs with high def 'better' than STR."

False.

THe price of this is dropping really fast,with up to 8 on AH at a time now from peeps trying to get there money now,went from 30mill before update to 25mill cause of rumored rare/ex,but now in one day went from 25-->9mill in one night,I bet today its gone down even more.
Argus
# Jul 28 2005 at 9:46 AM Rating: Decent
Argus do not drop "Peacock Charm", he drops "Peacock Amulet".
Same stats as the "Charm" but the "Amulet" is rare/ex.

Happy hunting.
RE: Argus
# Jul 28 2005 at 10:01 AM Rating: Decent
Yes but they used to before the update.

Currently there is a lot of speculation as to where Charm now gets dropped and the above information needs to be updated.
RE: Argus
# Jul 29 2005 at 8:17 PM Rating: Decent
The charm is obtained from BCNM40
So.......

So can any1 confirm that Argus can still drop the Charm?
Hakuttu Drop
# Jul 27 2005 at 9:19 AM Rating: Default
Supposedly this is now dropped from hakuttu the optical hat nm at a good drop rate. I personally dont know if it is the peacock charm or amulet but I'm almost 100percent positive it does drop one of them along with the optical hat after July's update. So now peacock amulet= argus, peacock charm= BC 40 and hakuttu.
RE: Hakuttu Drop
# Jul 27 2005 at 1:10 PM Rating: Decent
This is incorrect. The other night (after update) my LS went on an O-Hat run, we fought Hakutaku over 15 times, not once did he drop the Peackock Charm. If it is dropped by Haku, it likely has a very low drop rate; I can attest its far from a good one though. The likelihood, I'd say, is that the charm drops in bc40.
RE: Hakuttu Drop
# Sep 01 2005 at 12:09 PM Rating: Decent
Not to mention it would drop the value alot more... being able to drop from a forced pop NM.

Ok, I can confirm this drops off of BCNM 40 Horalis Peak Under Observation fight. Just got the drop and keeping it for use =).
After our first 2 trys both times taking out sobbing eyes, first time suffering death of our DRK, then going to die myself on a second eye, our second run all survived past sobbing eyes, then I (war/nin) went down on 2nd eye, and time ran out. Then our other 4 runs after we came back another day, all 4 sucesses. Here is how drops were:
1: NI, no longer 1 mil, but still 700k (unicorn)
2: drops totaling <100k >.<
3: NI, and Erase, 700k a pop (yay)
4: our last run possible due to expenditure of all of our Beastman seals, we got it Peacock Charm (1/4 successful runs)

all i can say remember 2 things for this BCNM, you need a kiter,(rdm/nin VERY good) and someone with /whm, for paralyna, paralyze from these mobs is a huge pain in the butt. From what i have put in this post you can figure out our setup: rdm/nin, war/nin (me), and drk/whm, I know, but they were taru taru, and it worked out GREAT!, i mean once we changed the drks sub from war to whm we owned it so easily was no challenge. Hope this helped. (By the way so far only NI and Erase from what was dropped was worth anything special out of all our runs)

It's not very easy to understand that site, even when translated.
But with the little knowledge I could get from it I brought my bro and woman and well...

First fight: Wiped in less than a minute.
Second fight: Wiped in like two minutes.
Third fight: I finally understood how to do it and we won.
No Peacock Charm, but atleast we got an Utsusemi: Ni.

Atleast three more runs coming up today.
Just praying we'll get a charm.

†Edit†

Just thought I'd post todays results ^^;

Ended up doing 4 runs today.
1st run: 150k-200k worth of drops.
2nd run: 100-150k worth of drops.
3rd run: Probably not even 15k worth of drops.
4th run: Another Utsusemi: Ni.

Due to the massive amount of runs after update, :Ni is no longer the sweet 1mil it was.
But a mere 400k-500k... Not even comforting after being 0/5, (0/7), on the PCC.

Third day is a charm?
Dont know, but atleast I have my hopes up for the three runs tomorrow.
Good night.

redpea, u said this drops from BCNM 40 but i cannot understand anything on the link, even when translated, so can you tell me which BC40 this drops from because i need it for DRK and am not camping for months to get rare/ex one.

I only have one thing to say about this EX/Rare switch on the charm. I'm one of the few who actually camped and got one to use and never sell. I got mine back in May, after one hour of camping and on my first camping trip. I had been hanging out in the little room when I got bored, decided to leave and there Argus was, next to a scorpion. I've been proud of it up to this point. It can shoot to 30mil or drop to 1k gil and I'll still have mine. But I'm still scratching my head about all this "quest" talk. I haven't read anything detailed about it. Oh, and btw, if Argus is droping the new version of the charm, have fun getting it if the spawn time hasn't been altered......

NM drops the rare/ex one which the RMT and Bots will STILL go after, forceing the legit players to pay for their outrageous fee if they want to get one.

RMT's are not gonna camp this to get the real one they have on the AH to sell because they won't be able to get the real one anymore. I'm sure the **** chram will drop from a bcnm now which RMT's can't do because they don't lvl to get the beastman seals. They will be making no more money off of nor will they be camping the monsters that drop the new items. Unless they enjoy wasting thier time.

How is making this Rare and not EX gonna help anyone fight Gilsellers?

They can still have 7 up on AH and 1 in inventory?

Do you think they made all existing in inventory and AH rare and all new will be EX?

Only time will tell i guess ; ;

# Jul 21 2005 at 12:12 PM Rating: Decent
If you dont pay the ungodly costs the sellers will have to drop more gil to put it back on the AH. With competition out there on the selling market you will have to reduce costs to compete. The point of it is do not pay the ungodly costs and wait til the cost is more reasonable. If you want to impress me Id rather see the rare/ex version than one bought off dads credit card anyhow.
