#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 05 2004 at 3:52 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) mobs spwn in japanese version 2 seconds befor it appears on NA computers. Lag also has alot to do with this, japanese usually have like no lag and have uber comps therfore they have a good advantage. btw....7.5mil on garuda. Ive seen one person ever wearing this, a lvl43pld..i guess second job.

Mobs do not spawn 2 seconds earlier for the JP, despite their ping advantage. If they did have a two second advantage, I would never beat a JP person when spamming my /targetnpc macro, but usually I'm around 50%. The ping advantage they get is minimal to non-existant when it comes to claiming mobs, if you were an "experienced" nm camper you would know this.

Look Square Enix just has to do something about the OVERRATED prices...COME ON! a necklace on Unicorn Server for over 6.5 Million GIL? you know that NO ONE will ever get that much if you play NORMALLY!...it would almost take a Month to Farm/fish/hunt NM to get this together...and maybe more!

I think GM's should check prices on the AH and see if they are overrated anyways. when an item has surpassed a percent Ratio people can report this to the GM. if the price is like over 500% the GM should set back the price then below 500%.
this peacock charm is 6.5 million YOU ARE INSANE if you are going to buy this it's more worth to steal from the ***/chi botters that camp these NM 24/7

I hate Gil sellers like IGE...get a real job man sheesh...

You're a Democrat, aren't you? ;)

SE has no responsibility to lower the price, and frankly, they should keep their hands out of player affairs such as this. As toomuchbass very rationally and eloquently pointed out, this is a difficult item to get, there's a large investment of time put into catching this NM and getting the drop. The bonuses it provides are also pure gold to certain classes, supply and demand.

Put simply, if people buy this item for 9.5mil gil (current price in Jeuno on Gilgamesh), then its worth is 9.5 million gil. Not everyone can afford the uber gear, nor should everyone be able to afford it, otherwise we'd all be carbon copies of each other (moreso than already.) There's no fun in that.

Perhaps what you say is true... Hard to argue that... But consider this...
You have real life rich idiots who go buying gil from IGE, or buying characters with huge amounts of gil... Now one of these morons wants to buy the item... Now say the item is 6 million. Now, one of these gil buyers go and buys it for 8 mil for fun... Price goes up!

Now here's another thought... Botting gil sellers probably have HUGE amounts of gil they get from this... Now they can also control the market mind you. Notice people often some reason buy these and sell em a day later, or even the same day? Kinda odd. Gil sellers, especially ones that work together, or if theirs is the only one selling... They could put theirs up... Then go to another character and buy it for 12 million... Reforming the price by force in an unethical, *cough* unfair business method.

In real life, there are laws that protect consumers from companies monopolizing on business tactics as this. True enouogh, this is a video game, and no real life... But does that mean there shouldn't be SOME power above the buyers/sellers to keep this kind of thing under control?

Now, if anyone can argue what I just said... Go for it!

Nah, just find the address of people who sell kill, and go pull a GTA:SA style beating on them, take their wallet, buy the gil, and call it even! That or you're more than welcome to go out to Japan, steal their servers and bring them over here to the US, so they can see what it's like to face the .5 second lag we get. Or you can go for being added to their blacklist by saying "What's wrong? WalMart wouldn't give you a job?" Eh... Not much that can be done. You can complain all you want. You can threaten Square to cancel your account if you wanted. They don't give a f*** what you think. So yeah... Maybe sometime before Playstation 1,000,000 is out, and the world ends... I might get one. I mean hey... The Red Sox won the world series!

I believe that it is overpriced, but not by much. 7 million on Quetzalcoatl. If you consider:

1. The NM is level 36-37
2. It is a rare drop
3. The NM that drops it spawns every 12-14 hours.

If you dont want to pay the price try camping it, then you will respect the fact that people who put it in the AH are doing you a favor (even if they are bots).

There are also other options than this you can choose from, however, they may not be as good they are decent.

This necklace will always be considered optional due to the outrageous price and camping popularity. Get a Life Belt, 2x Snipers Ring, and Royal Guard's Collar; cheaper and the accuracy will be fine. A party/alliance never gets the right to diss a player for not having this. Take it easy. I want it too but I it's something I can live without.
Expensive, eh?

Oh, now it makes sense.. I was doing RSE and I come accross a bunch of people, 4, maybe 5. Standing around a small area, I ask them if they've seen a chest near-by ... Nothing, didn't get any response from them, not even one.I think to myself, 'thats odd..' Now I know why.

Yeah, I'm a 31 Mnk/War and I'm Elvaan. This is NECESSARY! All Acc bonuses for an Elvaan melee job are more than welcome, no matter what the cost.
Not worth it.

This is iten is so over rated. I'm rng/nin lvl 29. I have my entire noct +1 set ready to go at 30. Currently I use the emperors hairpin, leaping boots, dual archers knives etc. I almost never miss now. The idea of paying 8 million gil for a neckalce that will give me 5 better rng acc than my ranger necklace is insane. Guess what? You'll still miss once and a while. On seraph there are 3 of these for sale right now. SE saddens me because the only way a price on an item this available can get this high is through botting. If you pay more than 300k for this item you got ripped off.

Prices are too high for many of items. When it takes a day for there to be one drop of a particular item, if even 1 drop a day, automatically that item will be high-priced. There are high prices for items because that is what happens when the players control the economy. In my opinion, all these "Godly" items should be rare/ex so the economy wouldn't be so ridiculous. As for is the item worth having? Well of course it is. That +10 accuracy and +10 ranged accuracy sure is going to make you a crazy ranger for skillchaining. I, myself am a 50rng / 25 ninja and most rangers don't just use ranged attack. I get right up at the mob and attack him, and with dual hawker's knives I can assure you the only job that rivals me in gaining TP is a Samurai. Just thought id give you my opinion on the matter but yes this isnt worth the 5-6 million it goes for on Alexander

5 is not the highest possible chain, but it is the point in which the modifier will not increase. as for the number of the chain, ie chain 5, chain 6, etc, there is no limit that i know of, but remember that after chain 5 there is no change in the xp bonus, and the duration for the next chain remains unchanged.

i cant believe so many people dont know some of this stuff >.<

This item is NOT overrated. This is the best neck item for most melees and rangers. An extra +5 range accuracy is HUGE. +2 agi = +1 range accuarcy.

I did not believe it till I saw it with my eyes, and I joined a party with 4 rangers and 2 rdm all of top equipment. With the peacock charm, the 4 rangers were able to kill mobs 2~3 levels higher than normal. We were able to hit chain 7.

People pay millions at higher level for an extra +1 or +2 to their items, because it IS worth it if you want to fight mobs higher level than normal.

Thank you for the information, UclaPaul. Also, congratulations on being able to get chain 7. That is quite an accomplishment. I have seen rangers in action, and I know what they can do. The highest chain I have personally witnessed is chain 6, so you have my respect.

I'm a PLD51/WAR25 on the Pandemonium server named Segurosci. I must say PLD can get very expensive if you want a pt in this server. That's why i must have this item.... I mean, sure it would be great to just keep it for it's greatness but...times are hard lol. If there is any devoted, honest and willing gamer on this server that can take on the task of hunting NM for days at a time, send me a /tell. And good luck to all those still fighting the good fight against bots and good job to all those that have acquired this item and deserved it.

So, it spawns every 24 hours, right?

IMHO: Hunting these 12-24 NM spawns just to sell the item is a pretty big waste of time.

As a 51 PLD, you should be able to make at least 10k/hr in Delkfutt's tower. If you get lucky, find a chest, and Mimas drops on one trip, you're up to 25k. Assuming worst case, if you spent 24 hours farming, you'd bring home at least 200k.

Phraust, i need your advice...

Bot programs vs Turbo Gamepad
# Sep 14 2004 at 12:55 PM Rating: Default
Hi everyone i would like to know if turbo provoking is illigal... i heard on shiva server that you can use a turbo gamepad controller and voke all the long as long is not a bot made out of a program that targets argus. i have both version of ps2 and pc i was thnking of using ps2 controller wich has turbo feture and camp argus but the only catch is that i have to be close to the tv in case i voke a bat if i am away hmm i guess i die... please can anyone tell me if using this controller is consider to be a bot?

1 more thing i am an elvaan drk55 with 2 sniper's rings with good armor for defence do you think a drk55 would be able to beat it with out any potions?

This wouldn't make much sense - since once you use Provoke there is a cool down period (30 sec?), at most it would fire off 2 times per minute.

Any automated interaction with the game when you are not in front of the monitor is considered botting under the ToS.

lol just had a thought... the voke botters are using programs that target the NM's name specifically right? "Argus" hehe kind of a long drawn out process but you could make a character (dragoon) and name wyvern Argus and just park him right in front of the botters. I know I know... have to start a new character or get a drg high enough to kill it... but I'm gunna test it with a mule hehe
Good luck all
