So, this was the first NM I've ever decided to camp. Its early in the day, around 11:30 and most people are working or at school. Classes are done for the day for me so I jump on it.
After about an hour and a half, I decide to start running between camps since I was the only one there (33 DRG/WAR.) He popped and I got him with no links luckily, used a Meat Jerky and bashed him down. Had about 150 TP before the fight started and I was able to finish it with about half health remaining I think. A few Beetles linked when he used Hi-Freq but nothing dangerous.
For Godsake someone submit a captured image of anybody else other then a Taru Taru wielding this. It completely shows disrespect for this Awesome Weapon. LOL
I was gonna c if i could get this for my war20 but it's way too expensive for a lv 20 item. Instead I'm going to sub nin and dual wield 2 battleaxes. I guess a moth axe will be fine for now as my lv 20 GA. Although it has less dmg...it does have dex increase so that's not too bad...although i think the next lv GA is at lv 28...idk...i might buy this eventually.
Edit: or I might try and camp the NM...who knows lol

For a new WAR this GAXE is a pipe dream that we will never achieve.
The biggest problem is there no GAXES between 20-30 that don't force you to go out and buy gil from the net to actually receive. Seems like the game is setup that you use AXE between 20-30, after 30+ GAXES are actually available again.
Panzer rarely pops, and drops neckchopper about 1/30 which makes camping a waste of time unless you're levelling your 4th to 5th job and are not pushed about waiting around.
I'm a L20 WAR and 80,000+ gil (Shiva) is way out of my price league, and one comes up for sale once every 6 months (who would want to sell one?).
Seems like the best out there but almost impossible to get for any new people to the game.
I was leveling my beastmaster(23) last night and it spawned right in front of me. It went through about 9 pets before I finally killed it. Got the drop and sold it for 100k in Jeuno on Garuda.
I bought one for 230k on Asura in April 06 and it's totally worth it! The +5 acc and attack food = some nice damage ^_^

I got two spawns of Panzer Percival last night a half hour apart, but no drop. After another hour I noticed the two camp areas getting crowded and I logged off for tonight.
Early this morning (6:00 a.m.) there were about a dozen ppl in Jugner Forest but I only saw one amongst the two camps. After about four round trips to both camps, I got Neckchopper in the north camp.
Now to send this to my War20/Thf10 character and watch the invites fly in <g>!
I started camping Panzer when Neckchopper was only 25K, after 5 tries and many hours w/o pop I gave up.
Recently went to Jugner to get the Mycophile Cuff NM and went to check his pop spot. Saw him scampering against the wall and killed him easily as 59DRK. Got drop also, so I'm 1/1. Neckchopper went up to 150K.
I wanted to camp him for the past day now [since my war just hit 20 yesterday] & my friend [41mnk/thf (for TH)] said he would help me (30thf/war)...so he gets to Jugner & starts to kill Beetles & i show up a little while later...as soon as i do Percival spawns...about a 1 minute of combat rolls by & there we are 1 kill & 1 Neckchopper richer...we were only there for about 15 minutes before he popped & dropped [it took us longer to get 3 tiger hides than it did the Neckchopper]

Ok heres my story. Couldent get a pt so went to camp this at the northern most spawn point. I killed bettles whenever they popped. Within an hour and a half it poped and the Neckchopper droped. Lots of people we're at the other spawn. Went to the AH and saw it going for 70k on Bahamut. ^_^
sure 50-80k may not sound much for higher lvls but at the time it takes to spawn this guy is awesome, im on 45/60 with him and making a ???? load of cash, just get drk or blm up to camp him so you can drain and aspir the boggarts as you wait ^^ ive been doing this every few days if im strapped for money

I camped him for 4 hours today and he never popped. I was killing the Stag Beetles constantly. I was beginning to wonder if i was in the right spot. But I logged off and checked. Just bad luck I guess.
I see these are selling for 80-90K a pop on my server (paid 50k for one a month and a half ago). If you can get the money together its still a bargan at twice the price. I used this as my only weapon for my warrior from lvl 20 right through to 34, not because I coudn't afford another one (bougth a plantbane, and Voulge at there respective levels, sold them back a couple of days later) but because it beat both of them hands down. +5 accuracy is an amazing thing, and beats out +12 dammage every time.

Pfff, accuracy?... I will easily drop the 50k it goes for on Alexander for the name alone. The accuracy is just a nice little bonus.
My rdm will eat this NM as a little side snack. I really don't have the patience to camp NM's though. I'll wander about Jugner for a bit, then probably end up making the gil I need from dropped beetle jaws, go figure =\
I'll buy this g/axe for 40k on the Carbuncle server. Me and my friends have killed it twice and no drop. I'll keep trying but until then /tell me and I'll give you 40k for it.

Above all axes this axe is hella worth it. The acc+5 IS GREAT. I rather pay the 30k for it then to camp the NM for 6 hrs. hell if u camp so long go mining for about 3 hr and get gold easy way to make gil. but who ever says its not worth it are probly just GS or SS kinda people. But for DD u know that Neckchopper is the way to go
I saw Panzer Percival when I was walking back to San d'Oria from Jeuno, and no one was camping him. He was around J-7 I think. I killed him with my 30 WAR/15THF and got the Neckchopper, a Beetle Shell and a Beetle jaw. gotta love Treasure Hunter ;) It was close though, had to use Sneak Attack at first, 2 Sturmwinds and my 2hour (Mighty Strikes). Neckchopper goes for 40K on Garuda, so I think I'll sell it as it's not much use to me now really.
I never see anyone camping this guy, I usually just choco past him or run past on my way to jeuno from holla or davoi. Never see campers but only seen this guy once. Killed him, which was a joke since I'm lvl 66 but, no drop >.< only a beetle jaw.

Posted:Aug 28 2004 at 4:14 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) he doesnt show sometimes is because he spawns in 2 COMPLETELY far apart places..
And he DOES spawn at J-5 AND L-7, he just spawns at either one at seperate times, which makes you right, and just as well makes me and any others who say "And" right. So don't get your panties in a knot buddy.
