Super NM Strategy
# Feb 25 2004 at 2:42 PM Rating: Default
This is what I recommend all of you who want to use or sell this item. You need a Lv 30+ MAGE any kind will do(I recommend 2 for better results). 1-2 Thiefs with TH and 1 Ranger with widescan. Pick you cash cow's spawning spot. Procede to destroy every monster that spawns(I MEAN EVERY MONSTER) when the time is right have your mages start walking around Nuking with aga spells(I recommend using a macro for best results and speed) Use any aga-type spell(although Diaga is the fastest cast) faster it casts the better. If the monster spawns near you I GUARANTEE you will get it and kill it no matter who is around you(WAR PROVOKE WILL NOT BEAT THIS STRATEGY) This kind of party puts the item drop at about 80% from my attempts. When you get the drop Sell item and split the profits and do it again GL.

Some people might dislike this, but the easiest way to get NM item is to be HIGH level 30+ RDM or BLM or WHM. Party with a couple lower level Thiefs all with TH and a Ranger with Widescan. Use MOB spells any Aga(Diaga Banishaga Water Thund) will do and keep attacking everything. I'd say that your % of getting the item goes up CONSIDERABLY. Then you sell item and split the money. Everyone walks away happy. I've done this a few times with other NMs and we get lizzy everytime we see it and we're doing this. GL.
Relax...

If you stress easily, dont bother camping it. If you dont like competition, dont camp it. If you complain a lot, dont camp Lizzy. I see lots of people "/sh F%&# you Lizzy!" and all types of crap. People have cheered for Lizzy to win. All of you need to grow up. I've had 5 second leads on people but lost Lizzy cause my macros were jacked up and cause you cant run and cast Dia. (hehe) But instead of getting pissed, I kept truckin'. I went out and Cured people with 10+ lizards picking at their life. I've cheered on the people who grabbed Lizzy right from under my nose.
After two days of camping lizzy, I finally got her for the first time and luckily I got the boots. =) And instead of selling them which was my motive, I kept them to use on my DRG.
The bottom line is camping NM's is a gamble and there is NO GUARANTEE. If you're gonna freak out, kill a bunch of normal mobs to make your money. Besides, what fun would the game be if there was no competition?
Relax, and enjoy the game!

They'll be pried from my cold dead paws, sneak attack went up quite significantly.

2 hrs camping ... got lizzy 2 times, first time she dropped nothing, second time i saw lizard tails and started groaning, then at the end of the list, there they were!

Now the question is camp her again to get Gil for the Emperor Hairpin or just camp the emporor ... which i'll have a hard time with at my level I think.

Oh well I'm happy

i've tried camping her again since ... I'm begining to believe th rumor that she won't spawn where people / mobs are. I chose a smaller area to keep clear.

I've cleared the area of mobs for 3+ hrs and haven't seen her at all ... time to go back to the original strategy.

She spawned right next to me. I almost lost her because i was putting up rng radar, adn there she was on me! Cut radar, turned, voked (sub war) and got it right before a guy coming up. No drop, but at least I knew she'll spawn right on top of you. We joked about it afterwards, that guy said he thought i wasn't even going to notice; he saw the spawn and came running.
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 21 2004 at 4:11 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) dont complain about campers taking your monster from you. you're not thinking to deeply are you. first of all you chose to be a thief knowing that,save for dragoons, thieves have been the worst job class in every final fantasy. yeah they get you items but you have to hold off your big attacks until you finally get a sucessful steal (i'm refering to other final fantasies with that last one not this) if you want the boots you need to do two things 1) stop playing as a thief because they are worthless trash. yes ok i know trick attack blah blah blah. all thieves do is complain about that stuff missing. i'm a great sword weilding warrior. i know alot about stuff missing so don't whine to me that your precious sneak attack missed cuz i moved. ur pink *** didnt get hit once.

so many things wrong with that i dont know where to start. For one, if you ever actually party with ppl, your not going to be liked much because your taking away from its potential by running around like a chicken with his head cut off. your judging theifs off other games? wow youve played the other good for you, but it has nothing to do with this game. so many jobs can outdamage you too, including theif.

a little add on, your talking about worthless classes with war/whm? you just contradicted yourself good for you, heres your cookie. that has to be one of the useless combinations someone can use.

Make the boots rare/exclusive, force people to use them, instead of selling them, this would fix alot of ******** about camping the leaping lizzy, fix alot of bad attitudes, fix it for people who try to camp the lizzy to actually wear the boots, or make it so you can still sell but can only hold one at a time, this would fix people that just run around camping for 2-3 pairs until they let anyone else have a go at the lizzy.

Two better changes than making it EX/RARE:

Option A) Make all rare items drop every time from the NM. That way you increase supply, and the price will stabilizes themselves on supply and demand at a lower value. There is a demand for only a certain number of leaping boots per servers.

Option B) One rare drop per item per conquest period. That means you can only get one pair of leaping boots per week, one traveler's mantle, one emperor's earrings. This would be great because a lot of the NM that don't get attacked a lot would see players rotating through all of the world's NM that they can defeat.

You could even combine A) and B)

Well if the people need the money for armor or other expensive things, then camping for nm's with high priced drops is almost a must. Much faster then other ways, if your lucky.
complaining...
# Feb 19 2004 at 7:35 PM Rating: Default
Ok, i was reading this, AND THERE IS TOO MUCH COMPLAINING, I mean, why should a lower lvl have more of a right to camp this rather than a higher level, I mean, they need the money more, spells and equipment cost A WHOLE LOT MORE than at lower levels, i know a rdm spell Phalanx costs 160,000 gil (fenrir server), so a good way to make money is to camp this guy, but the lower levels complain that they need the money more... yet their items are alot cheaper

Omg if you have to camp NM's for money, then you are a gimp, guy. You must really suck. Go and farm like everyone else you dumb ****.

lol are these boots really worth the time?
most farm them just to sell them unless your a low lvl thf then they use them til they can get the merc armor at lvl 30. personally i think its a waist of good exp time and there is stuff i can farm in that time that would make me 2 times the money by the time you got 1 pair of the boots.
If your a low lvl lucky enough to get them on passing good for you if your a high lvl camping to get them just to sell them don't waist your time. I've seen a lvl 44 in my LS camp them for 3 months straight and not get jack. Save yourself some pain and just go for exp or easier farming.

You're kidding, right?

Leaping boots : Def 3, Dex 3, Agi 3
Mercenary Captain's Gaiters : Def 5, Agi 1

The leaping boots are insanely good for any damage dealers, and for thieves of all levels. No other boots for thieves equal this dex gain, except the AF boots. The only thing you'd use except the leaping boots would be :

Winged boots : Def 5, Dex 3, Agi 3
Winged boots+1: Def 6, Dex 3, Agi 3
Rogue's Poulaine (AF) : Def 13, Dex 3, Steal 2.

If you're a Dark Knight, you want your big hits to land, for this you need dexterity and these boots are the best dex booster for "feet" slot, with nothing even close. Same for dragoon, there is no DEX boots for dragoon except these.

If you'd take defense over a huge dex and agi boost for damage dealers, you're out of your mind.

I went out the other day after a stranger asked me if I wanted to go try to find Leaping Lizzy. I agreed even though I knew I probably wouldn't find it. This person and I spent a good hour and a half looking for the lizard all the while people would just run up and see the lizard and kill it before we could get to it. What was good about that was that it did not drop the boots. This somewhat angered me due to the fact that me and this guy had been running around for two hours looking. After these two hours, I happened to run around a corner and there was Leaping Lizzy right in front of me. Mind you this was the first time I had been able to fight the lizard let alone seen it. I provoked and fought it and won and low and behold I recieve the Leaping Boots on my first kill of the NM. Although I am a level 20 warrior / level 1 thief, I don't think it had anything to do with it. I was just lucky.
Leaping boots vs Rabbit Charm

Which drops more frequently? Leaping boots or Rabbit Charm... i have learned that the charm goes for around 200-300k a pop at most AH, and the charm goes for about 150k... does this mean the leaping boots drop x2 as much as the rabbit charm?
#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 11 2004 at 10:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) what sells for 150k
That's Life.
# Feb 10 2004 at 1:55 PM Rating: Default
Think of it this way.

For 3 hours or so worth of work you can make 150k. I don't care if you're level 7 or 70, you always need gil. Only one person can benefit from this every 3 hours, and if it isn't you, you've just wasted your time.

It's a risk people take. But if you whine about taking the risk, you don't deserve the benefit. EXP can be replaced a lot faster than 150k gil can be. I would personally sit there and laugh at you if you died trying to take my NM. No Raise, no heal. Unless you sent me the 150k gil that is.

FFXI Rule #1: ANY kill is every person or group for themselves.

It's a competition for limited resources. If you can't compete, then f*** off.

I was looking for the lizard the other day and it showed up a minimum of three times in two hours if not more.

# Feb 03 2004 at 1:39 PM Rating: Default
I was reading through this post on these rare boots that EVERYONE seems to want. OK lets look at this, they are LVL 7 boots with a DEF. 3 and the added bonuses. How many LVL. 7 people do you know have 150k to 300k to buy these. And if you don't want high LVL people killing LL and selling boots, STOP buying them. No one buys them they stop killing for the money.

Man, i had no idea about the competition that is involved in fighting this little lizzy!! lol.

i circled f-8 (i think) for about three hours last night and killed lizzy twice out of the three times it appeared. at around 9 pm EST, there were high lvl NA players battling it out to get the lizzy. Every one of these high level players were rude and aggressive to me.

they said, "your never going to fight him. youll never beat him, your to low level. Do us a favor and leave."

i leveled up my nin/sam to lvl 11nin/5sam to have a fare fight with the lizzy and these ppl have the nerve to spit at me when i try o find the liz.
i could use my lvl 40 WHM or my lvl 20 SUM to fight lizzy but i choose not to. Every one of the high level players were rude to me.

at about midnight, all the jerk high level NA players left and the experienced Japanese players started appearing. they were all very kind to me. i had a chance to fight the lizzy one last chance before i went to bed and a camper started healing me while i was fighting. the NA players would just leave me to die then take lizzy.

So, what im trying to say is, beware of the competition on this NM. Please dont be rude to the other campers and do your part, kill the other lizzards till lizzy shows up :)
