yay just got peacock charm after beating all jp bots....they were afk and keeps voking the same bat over and over w/o killin it ^^ after 29.5 hrs it spawned and i beat it at lvl 57 using 2hr and 1 x-potion....my hp was 300 when i beat it :D
I've solo'd him twice as a lvl 50sam/war. All I did was eat a kabob, berserk, use my 2hr and he dropped like a fly. Too bad I sat through 5 spawns to claim 2... and that took about 8 days.
Just so you all know, he isnt just a 12-24hr spawn. Leech king is on the same timer, if he spawns the timer for Argus will start over. It really sucks when you dont know and after 30 hours you're about to go insane. This camp is not for the timid.

Posted:Sep 07 2004 at 10:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) LOL you all are gonna hate me my friend is a rich sob in this game... his house burned down in real life along with his computer so he quit ffxi and all his items were given to me.... items were < peacock charm, emp hairpin, Leaping Boots, and a bunch of other junk along with 750k gil im so happy i got the most pimmp drk lol
OK i wanna try this fight..... this prolly 2 hr fight..... question is,...... is he actually a 39-40 NM.... if so then i must be able to solo him if i bring about 500 sleep arrows.... can anyone confirm this?
Nope the level is correct(36-37), it's just he's a NM so his damage output is naturally going to be a little higher.
It's not a 2hr fight, but if you use sleep arrows it might be.
Sleep arrows Might get resisted or not last very long at all. It is a Dark element based creature and has a high resist to Dark status. I suggest you head to Ragamount Pass and find a Taisai and practice. Nothing like waiting 18 hours just to die...
The first time I was doing RSE in maze of shakrami and I came into a very small room with a bunch of people in AF armor just standing in a big circle. Everything that appeared in the room was voked or dia right away. I've seen dia claim several mobs in that room so I doubt there are that many botters, if at all, at least when I was there. However there were over 20 people there. If there were botters, dia would never win the claim. They are simply fast to it with their npc macros. It's just like camping any other mob, but more people. Shadowbind will be the best tool for camping Argus. You can basically cover all the spawns with the range and it is just as fast as provoke.
What lvl is this NM cuz i checked it here and the website says its for lvl 36-37 which i think is BS so if anyone really know plz put up post, Greatly Appreciated.
This is what I have gotten from others that have fought him and this and other sites.
Allakhazam's Argus: (Level: 36 - 37) (Maze of Shakhrami) Drop: Peacock Charm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Mystery Tour Site Name: Argus. Place: Buburimu Peninsula -> The map J-9 which got down to along a left wall. Time: About 21-24 hours Drop: Peacock Charm Level to fight: 50+ Note
After speaking to others playing and reading all the posts "not just this thread go to the Argus thread also", and I have been informed he is in the range level of upper 30's. The only thing is "yes you can't check but this is just an analogy" just like fighting an elemental, you can check it and it would say a Decent challenge, then you fight it and loose. If you are not at least 50+ and have a stock of X-Potions don't even think of it, of course being in a party will help at lower levels and you already have a plan for lotting and who gets the drop. So I went in to the answer a bit in depth sorry but from all I have gathered I would defiantly say around the level 37 range "Give or take", hope it helps some.
This is a total rip off if your a mnk. Come on mnks miss but they dont need this, 960k for dual snipers or if you've gotten by and ur lvl 59(i think thats spectacles lvl might be wrong^^) u could spend about 3.1 to 3.2 mill and get spectacles and cross counters thats accuracy +10 and CC's are one of if not the best knuckles in the game.
I know thats still a lot of gil but compare 960k(if u only need accuracy) or 3.3 mill (if u want accuracy and best dps in the game) to a peacock charm for 5mill + on shiva even more on other servers and btw these are the prices on shiva http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/profile.xml?33295 My MONK i need snipers now T.T
Hey just so you guys know. Bot's are illegal and violate the Square/Enix agreement. If you want to get rid of them report them to a GM and they'll take care of them. If you don't know if the persons a bot or not try lureing a mob near his voke range a few times and see if it automatically attacks it. If your sure it's a bot call a GM. I can't stand people who cheat people who actually takes the time (out of thier personal lives) to hunt these things. I've been screwed to many times by bots time to ***** them back by getting them banned.
Thats because you are all ignorant. Bots arent illegal, basically because it is too hard to prove. Unattended play however is against the rules, but then again if someone is botting and is at their computer you'll never know because they arent going to turn their bot off to talk to you.
I'm on the Odin server, been checkin this '**** charm out, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get. On my server anyway. Sells for 5 mil. Botted at ALL times by at lease 5 bots. 5 bots in a space the size of your mog house....all targeting the same creature at the same time, faster than any human could ever dream of provoking. I's really sad, because when I started this game, I loved the fact that people couldn't cheat by gameshark, action replay, or box tricks(PSO players know what I'm talkin about). Now turns out that, yep you can cheat. Square needs to get they're **** together and do something about this crap. Anyone agree?
omg i agree fully, but its not as much of a problem here, because its not duping items like pso.
btw, on pso ep II for DC, my friend was the first person to get a Sange Yasha, and he traded it to someone for a black king bar, and within 4 hours, sange yasha was all over the place. thats how bad dupes were. i originally was attracted to that game cuz of all the different weps and how cool it was to have a rare one, but dupers totally ruined it.
-- if u played pso on DC, you will understand this.

Agreed 100%. I quit PSO because of that crap, and I hope SE take care of it eventually.
On Caitsith this thing is botted by about 5 life botters just for this. I think they collect the 8 mill then just sell it to other people or sites like tault. Really sucks, this thing should only be like 300k, even 2mil aint bad but 8 mil! this must be the most expensive item in the game
I've killed argus 2 times now... and i've only gotten 2 vials of mercury. WHAT THE ****? WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM!? JEEEEEEEEEEEZE. I wasted about 2 days of my life, more like 8 hours though, hunting him!
hey i camped this **** when i was lvl 52...ive seen people around camping it over lvl 55... so i came here read some stufff and found out that im not able to kill it -.- at 52 or i am if i have liek 10 x potions. say since drg n drk are sort of similar , did you have any problems killing it at 50? or what strategy did you choose...
Hey, readin this now and findin out how much this baby is worth i wana "attempt" to camp this Nm. Im on Diabloes (prolly spelled wrong)^^ and if ya feel like huntin send me a /tell. My char's name is Xanthro, lvl 47, soon to be 48 (and life belt ^_^) Dark Knight for life
damnit i really want this ******** item...well it aint too ******** but i rally want it for my ranger level 37! i would be so uber with it buton uni it is 7 mil><
