Just so you know, the picture above is wrong, it must be out of date, because Black Mages cannot wear this item.

I picked up 21 BLM, and thinking I was going to equip it, went to the equip menu and low and behold I can't wear it.

BLM isn't even listed on the description in-game.

Firstly, Golden Bat can pop in two separate caves. Secondly, like Leaping Lizzy, he can pop anywhere from 30min to 4+ hrs. And if You only stay in the south cave, or the north cave, then your chances drop naturally. So team up with a buddy, have your buddy go to the south cave and u stay in the north, or vice-versa, and kill away until he pops. My experience, he pops mostly in the North. Goodluck.

When you get to the tunnel at B-8 (by the Gustav Tunnel) kill the two bats, but, if you sub /war, use berserk after killing the first bat because the timer for you to be able to use berserk again is 5 min., and the spawn for the Giant Bats are 5 min., so there you got your little timer. Just keep repeating this step until the Golden Bat pops. I'm still not quiet sure what the spawn time is for the Golden Bat. right now, i'm 0/2, so i'm still working on it.
Good Luck hunting^^

Well after a night of unsucessfully farming the monster signa in giddeus with two ls members, and still desperate for $$, i decided on farming the golden bat for a while. well i killed about 5 PH giant bats and and got the NM to pop. when i started attacking it, i said in my head 'you know its not gonna drop'. so i fought the thing like it was any other mob. BAM 1/0 on the night cape. its sitting on ah right now for 80k. now i hope it sells.

#Suhks, Posted: Nov 08 2005 at 11:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'm not sure, maybe someone hasn't noticed, but it's almost a guaranteed drop with TH1 (Treasure Hunter - THF15) so those that are complaining that you haven't got it, lvl your THF. I'm 2/2 now (THF32/WAR16) and I plan on camping it again sometime soon and I'm sure I'll get it again.

This is not an "almost guaranteed drop" with TH1. I am 1/5 on this with TH1 and 1/2 without TH1 (2/7 overall.) Go figure. TH1 should help, of course, and I have prob just been unlucky on my TH1-equipped drop rate, but having it does not make this a sure thing. Cape currently sells for ~80k on Shiva.

I'm camped this guy several times off and on. An LS member was leveling his Ninja in the Dunes and wanted me to bring him some shihei. After I gave him his items I figured I'd go see if anyone was camping the Golden Bat right before we all had to log out for maintenance. I get there and find that no one is camping him so I spent around an hour killing placeholders until he finally popped. I hadn't had much luck with this guy the other 6 times I camped him, but this time I got lucky. I've wanted this cape for a long time and I refused to buy something that I could camp. Finally got lucky.

Golden Bat: 1/7

Oh it was great! I'd been partying in in Gustav Tunnel and came outside to rest up before heading to San d'Oria. While resting I went afk to use the bathroom.

When I come back, what do I find but a Golden Bat beating on me (lvl 41 THF/NIN). Tricky bastard.

Killed it, got drop. ^^
#Heyiro, Posted: May 18 2005 at 8:51 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Those bats arent the only thing that drop that cape. I was pting in Gustav Tunnel and we were waiting for some members to arrive. Figured Id go kill some banshees and I see a gob ripping apart a lvl17 pt. They called for help and I killed it, and beleive it or not, Night cape dropped.

LIE ALL LIES! YOU DONT EVEN GET GIL IF YOU HELP WITH A GOB! YOU LIE! THERE ARE NO DROPS FROM HELPING PEOPLE KILL OTHER MOBS! LIAR! Not to mention that it's only droped off of a certain mob and only one mob. SE programmed it that way. I hope you seriously don't play this game and just wanted to be cool otherwise I'd slap your head off so hard.

Camped this NM for quite a while last night. I'm currently 1/3 on the drops now, and I've only seen it 4 times. When I was there, I had someone constantly /tell me to leave it alone, claiming he needed the Cape for his Black Mage. Wow, he must be a really special BLM to be able to wear this thing!

I appreciate that quite a few people do want these items for their specific jobs, but if you're gonna lie to me about it, at least get your facts right before you do! He was a level 50+ Dragoon, and he asked me what I wanted the drop for. Told him plain and simple - Dispel is over 60,000g and I need the money. What's the point in lying?

I also cannot believe some of the comments I have read here. Training mobs onto people fighting NMs so they die and you get to kill it? Do you people have no shame? What a selfish and pathetically ignorant thing to do.

dang, this NM must suck for you guys, i had a drop with TH1 with like 2/6 but finally got TH2 and got about 5/7, i know it's not worth camping, but less camped, and easiest to camp. As long as you have spare time, just sit around and camp it. id rather camp this then farm. i'm to lazy to make any effort to press "W,A,S,D, go behind press CTRL + 4" "you obtain Black tiger fang" for all the thfs out there, have fun.

He camped it with another LS member and got the drop second time. :( He lets me use it anytime I ask, so it might as well be mine lol.

I was going to gustav tunnel to go kill some gobs in there, but the golden bat popped right when i passed through the tunnel, i killed it and got the drop, when i saw the dark resist bonus and evasion i sold my nomad mantle back, ill explain why, ochiudo kotes give +6 dark resist, but im using snipper ring so i get -14 dark resist :/ its kinda bad for undead, with that +3 adrk resist at least im at -11 and i better get hitted less on undead then get +1 agi. For any monk i suggest that cape, i think its a good deal and cost around the same as nomad.

I do not recommend camping Golden Bat. I am 1/7 on this bat. This bat has an extremely sucky drop rate. It may be because I only had TH1(Treasure Hunter 1)but I do believe it has a worse drop rate then Valkurm Emperor. Good luck!^^

I camped the bat while my friend was leveling in Dunes 32DRG at the time. There was another player camping at the same time near the zone into the mines (high level PLD). Anyways, someone decides to zone a Bogy so I'm just standing there against the wall waiting for the Bogy to leave. So what happens... yup Golden Bat pops right next to the Bogy :( The PLD laughs and walks up and kills the bat while I have to just stand there watching. Well I decide to log for the night since it was late. I log on the next day and staring me straight in the face in Golden Bat :) I immediately jump it and kill it fairly quickly but no drop. Oh well, maybe next time. On a side note, my friends party (all around level 18-20 at the time) ended up pulling the bat from the cave and ended up killing it with only one death in the party, but no drop. They were happy to at least fight it.

So we were waiting for the replacement to arrive, then all of a sudden, this something THF (anon) ran to my PT and yelled, "<Cure> me plz" Well we did not have any healers at the time. Thank God he did not call for help and he died. The 5 remaining ppl in my PT engaged it and killed it (it was almost dead before we fought it ^^). We GOT the drop! Since I am rank 5 and had some money on me, I offered to pay every1 to lemme have it. ALMOST EVERY1 Passed it w/o me paying, they said I can have it ^^ EXCEPT 1 person. He was a new player and did not know the $$ on this thing. I told him Ill give him 8k for it and naturally he said yes! So he passed and I got it ^^ w00t I need and <evasion bonus> mantle for my THF and now I just need to get him from lvl 19 to 21 ^^ shouldnt take too long. =)

Well listen to this. Camped the golden bat for about 4 hours tonight only spawned three times. First 2 other campers get - the last one I got with a quick provoke <t>.The battle ensues, I kick on mighty strikes off the bat, hit the defender and spam boosts throughout. Another player watching gave me /cheer - it was great. Anyway, Im watcching the battle stats and the Golden Bat hits a few well placed critical hits and things beging to head south my HP fell under 100 (I was very surprised). Anyway I disengage to avoid deleveling and I let the other guy finish it (and here is where it gets interesting). He does; this is a level 50+ THF with maxed out gear. I ask him if he gets the drop and he /tells me "yeah I got the drop" and then I ask him, could I please have it or buy it? There is a pause and then I get the autotranslater (I Don't speak and english).

JACKED!

I know that he was not obligated to help me and let me take the drop - but if he jacked me then thats lame! I guess the moral of the story (for me)is get a couple more levels and try again later (revenge is always sweet). LOL!

What yould you have done in his situation?

Yea, that happened to me with Leaping Lizzy. She popped right behind me. I had engaged her and was running up to hit her when I see this little taru run up to it and smack it. I yelled at the guy and had no choice but to watch him kill it. I asked if he got the drop and I got the "I don't speak any English" autotranslation. Two seconds later I get a tell in English saying he got the drop and he stole it from someone. Ha, obviously a misstell but he was proud of it. I, on the other hand, was pissed.

Well i had the same kinda thing go on with lizz. Im running around in time to see a lvl 10 war voke lizz. They both get to 1/4 HP when war says "can i plz get a cure?". well obviuosly no one cures in hopes he dies and they get a chance at 300k or boots. When he gets to 1/5 HP he says "Fine. i guess none of you get drop."
*Lvl10war* calls for help
i thought it was pretty funny.
Lessoned learned : Train 5-6 lizzs so he dies quicker with no chance of calling for help.

LOL got the drop. Swung by the Golden Bat's spawn, was hella injured so I rested. Once I was full HP, the bat popped in front of my eyes. Voke, boost, dodge, whack, whack, whack and he dies, dropping the night cape for yours truly!

Justice!

Parser results from a few fights, notice the thf outdamaging the dark? Whats that? Thiefs are useless? Want more proof?

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=10&mid=1093566906952116611&num=5

Oh? Whats this? Holy mother of god! Proof backing up my claim that thiefs are NOT as useless as biased people like you think. Seems to me we're among the best DD's in the game (even had a ranger surprised at the damage I could do to a crit with SA alone (4 more levels for TA) :D)

Anyways, back onto what I was gonna say.... Camped this bat for a few hours cause I was bored as a 31 war 15 thf. Tough bat, no drop. I find it best to camp with two people. One taking each spawn point. That way you won't have to worry if he spawns at the other one cause your bud can claim it while you run over there. Just my two cents, cya and good luck camping folks ^^

Wow. How old are you? We're going to take a lesson on spelling and grammar. Lets begin!
First off
Quote:
whineing
is spelled *whining* no e. Lets add some commas and periods in here as well. "...saying something(.)" Take out the "and" as well. Continuing on "...whining babies(,)" "call you a noob for no fricken reason(.)" Again take out the "and". By the way there is no e in BY, unless you are bidding someone farewell. I have no idea what you meant BY
Quote:
treasure hunter I does affect
Maybe take out the "I"(who knows why its even there?)
Quote:
Thiefs are just always angry it seems maybe its there worthlessness
Put a period after "seems," and "worthlessness."
Again, remove the "and."
Quote:
hate control or you
I assume you just missed the "R" key on that "YOU" ...i'll let it slide. uhhh well the rest of it sounds like a 2nd grader wrote it so im just gonna wing it...
"through" should be threw, "you" i assume is you're, "there" should be the THEIR spelling. I would also stick to one spelling of the word noob/newb.

All in all, this paper receives an F+

Oh, i am a thief and you dont have an explanation of ANY of your childish bashings, explain a little bit instead of saying you hate them.

a lot of ppl put the rare item in auctions right away, that way you can have up to 8 rare items, 7 in auctions and 1 in your inventory, at least I'm fairly confident... I only have 1 rare right now ^^;

All i know is i want one! And yea, get off of these noobs backs! Geese! Dood, <<Treasure Hunter I>> does more than just double your gil, it add 5% to the stock 10% drop rate of rare items! SO0o a lvl 15 thf has a 15% chance of having the cape drop vs. the 10% without the thief...so =P!

If you challenge this, troll around in the thief section, its there, and if you really want to know, its also in the monks section.

#Xcaliba, Posted: Feb 20 2004 at 7:16 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I killed this bat 5 times, It takes anywhere between 40minutes-2hours based on my experience with it, First time it dropped Night Cape, The 4times after it only dropped Bat Wings. Thief does not give a better chance of drop as this is a rare item. Good luck. ^-^ (btw i was lvl 38 Dragoon.. and he went down in about 7 seconds) ~.^

hahahaha you're the biggest moron ever, maybe you should spend more time actually PLAYING the game, instead of trolling forums all day.
You obviously haven't played as thief, or partied with a thief, and you're one of those players who think thieves are useless in a party. Well it's your loss. Being a professional theif I wouldn't want to party with your n00b ass anyway.

It has been stated directly by SE that treasure hunter simplly effects the % chance that ANY item will drop from a mob. When questioned further to determine if this meant rare or ex items as well. SE repsponded: OF course.

Killed it 3 times no boots other times.. Some lvl 75 THF/RNG camps it now and no one can ever get it cause he flee's to it with widescan so you gotta be extremely lucky to get it.. Same with Emperor I camped it for 2 days.. Seen it twice 1 time a PLD got it about lvl 67.. than second time a Thf with Flee and Widescan came so I was never gonna get it.. Decided to try and camp Gold Bat.. Some guy runs by right as we are about to aggro it.. he darts it off of us.. NM are total bullsh*t but they are the quickest way to make money.. This is why FFXI is getting stupid cause of gil system is too extreme

The only reason you never get NM's is because you are in no condition to compete with a level 75. Camping an NM by yourself is a bore-o-thon. Get some people to help you. If all else fails, wait till you get a higher level.

don't complain because you aren't any good at it, i mean i have camped NM since i started playing with a mnk as a main and then with a war in the sub postion, now i finally started leveling a thf, so don't complain i have gotten NM before lvl really high level players that were all sorts of job combos.

I just hunted the Golden bat. Killed it 3 times with partner. 1st time nothing good next 2 times got capes. I'm 30WAR/15THF..... Took it down fairly easy. The spawn time asuming place holder is dead is aroun 2 1/2 real hrs. Also just about every class can use cape exept.... SMN, WHM,BLM!!! Go get it guys!!!
Also has +3 evasion.

This is 3DEF, +3 DRK resist, and +3 evasion. It's basically a traveler's mantle on steroids.

Correction : This is not better than a nomad's cape +1. Nomad's cape is Def 2, Agi 1, Eva 3. Nomad's cape +1 is Def 3, Agi 2, Eva 3. The agility on top of the evasion makes it pretty good for thieves and ninjas.

Going price on Asura is ~15k for traveler's, 20-25k for Nomad, 30k for night cape, 180-200k for nomad's cape +1.

After camping this stupid bat on and off for 2 days... i can tell ya that its a long arduous camp, the bat seems to spawn late night coming into the dawn 200-500am and has about a 2 hour reset time; hes a challanging solo at my present level 31rdm/nin... ive aced em twice and have yet to get a cape drop... maybe better luck next time.
