I dont think you will much of a chance with this NM at your current listed level He is listed at about your same level he will use Manafont when low Hp Plus you will have to deal with Links as well There are Orc Stonechuckers, Orc Grunts that aggro up to level 24 Good Luck if you try
Man... what server are you on? Kujata had the highest price go for 100k. I camped him hoping that it was worth more than 150k. It's okay, beggers can't be choosers.
I took him just about 5 min. ago and I did it with my RDM30/WHM15. It was lightsday and around 11:30 server time. So im 1/1 on the robe. This NM is totally undercamped on my server and is way too easy. A 25 RDM could take him with a Silence to pull him and then a Bind to hold him to nuke his ***. He Manafronted (In his case Chainspelled) and couldnt cast so it was no problem.
I got this guy the second time he popped(some anonymous elf beat me to it the first time). Commenced to handing him a beatdown as 32RDM/16WHM, got the drop and a happy day for my WHM(well when I hit lvl19 anyway).
i tried getting this cuz i was really in need of some money. never tried NM hunting as a method before i just relied on regular farming. anyways, i head there one night, kill orc for 20 min and no spawn then log out (cuz of parents). anyways log back in, 45min later it spawns and I got it on the first try, but no staff.
I went hunting the other day in Ghelsba with a friend from the LS I'm in. We were both DRK though he was in AF and I just had my 35 gear on. We were tearing up everything in sight heading up towards the top of the grotto when I turn around and see "Ashmaker Glotblut" ripe for the picking. I was getting ready to level my RDM and I had just bought Dispel for 63K so I barely had a gil to my name. I knew that the drop from Glotblut sold for a decent amount and I needed that money to buy Phalanx. "NM!" I exclaimed in party chat as I started the fight. I had been wanting to test myself against Glotblut since I have killed most of the NMs in Ghelsba at least a half a dozen times. As I suspected, Glotblut didn't stand a chance against a 35DRK. Wether it was TH or not, we got the drop. The other guy from my LS, who was also flat broke, was fairly new to the game and had been using his bro's char to hunt. So in his newbieness, he saw a level 19 mage robe and told me I could have it. I asked him, "Really? Sweet!" Later that night, it sold for 65K in Jeuno and fortunately for me the price of Phalanx had dropped down to 70k from 95k a week earlier. I picked up Phalanx and told him later that day how much the robe sold for. Needless to say, he felt pretty stupid for just letting me have it...
I would just like to post the answer to the original question, in regards to Phoenix. As of January 31, the robe sold for 70ish k in Jeuno, with about 5 sold a day, and for 50ish k in Bastok. That is all the info needed to answer the original question I believe.
I was doing a little mining on my WHM36 in Yughott Grotto, when suddenly, Askmaker spawns right infront of me and my Mining Point! There weren't any other campers around, so I ended up with the pull.
Problem 1: I had next to no MP Problem 2: I didn't have a weapon... Solution: Me, being the clever person I am, attacked the freak of nature, with my fists!! It was a close battle, 2 damage at a time....I had to use my 2hr to get more hp, and at the end... I finished him off...Critical hit, 3 damage...and he dropped the robe.
Problem 3: I was left with no MP, 5-8 orcs on me from links and....46 HP...
Nah, it's upgraded version is worth less then the robe itself on most AH's..
Its worth so much because its only found from a NM. And is in relatively high demand from level 20ish WHM's. Since there arn't as many of them, supply and demand dictates that the prices will rise.
Priest's Robe: sells for 40k in San d'Oria AH, and 45k in Jeuno AH on Carbuncle server. Dropped from Ashmaker Gotblot (NM) in the lower of the two Yughott Grotto's.
There is a reason this sells so high... ^^ it is used to make the Higher level 30+ robe... i foget, but its +2 mnd and +4 mp or something like that. that is one of those robes ya keep for long time untill ya come across AF or Vermilion cloak =P
It's used to make the Bishop's Robe, and for the most part, it's pretty useless as armor, since there is much better armor for related lvls. The main reason it sells for so much is the infrequency of the drop.
First, Friar Rope sell for about 9k at Cerebrus Server, Bastok AH. Second, Priests Robe is about the best Body EQ for a WHM at that level. MND+1 makes a bit of Difference. Sells for 40k at Cerebrus server last time I checked.
Got the Robe Last night and gave it to an LS member of mine. It sells for 50k on Quetzecoatl. killed it twice got 1 Wand the first time and the Robe the second time around. Easy Stuff I just keep the entire room clear of mobs so its easy to spot him when he pops.
