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 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
