Dropped off a Cryptonberry Stalker in Pso Xja went there with a gimped sub as MNK70/THF31 still got it off the 3rd mob i pulled. i was originally looking for the ordrynite for the "Hyper Active" quest in Bastok. Lucky hmm
is this still dropping? i noticed the last post was in july and that the last post confirming drops off of the gigas was early april.. just wondering if anyone else is having troubles getting the drop. not sure on my numbers, but i've hit the 3 gigas in the vicinity of the lake every time they've spawned for the last 4 hours.. and no dice.
glad to see there's so much interest in this item lol. anyways, i got the lumber about an hour after that post, so i can also confirm that the gigas in beaucedine drop it. however after i got the itmes i didn't hq the knife >.<
First Gigas I killed in Beaucedine Glacier (Rime Gigas), and I got a drop. No treasure hunter, moon phase at 65%. I was just running through to Fei'Yin and got kinda bored. Of course, if I were actually trying to find one, not even TH2 and 100% moon would've helped me!
I had 2 drop back to back from Rime Gigas, right beside the lake near Fei'Yin. Only 2 in around 100 kills. %5 New moon.
Spawning in that location seems a random pop of Rime Gigas (with Tiger per) and Cold Gigas. One can also get the spawn directly to the south in a decent amount of time as well. That one is a random pop of Cold/Sleet/Rime Gigas.
I was just able to get each pop before htey spawned a pet as 72BLM/36WHM. Would Thunder III, Fire III then a combo of Fire & Fire II & Drain depending on how much each hit for. Barely had enough MP to take them all down as Taru... FYI, At 958-1009 MP
I got 2 drops from Rime Gigas (beastmaster ones) near the pond at I-7
And, interesting enough, from a Snow Gigas south of the pond (but still in I-7 area)
I haven't gotten any drops from Cold Gigas yet, but that certainly doesnt mean it doesnt happen. Also i got a drop one time on dark weather conditions, not ice. So it seems like a really low rate drop that applies to all gigas in that area
I can comirm this. While hunting Nue, I was in Beaucedine Glacier for a long time. (5~ hours) Traveling down to Fei'Yin I fought a Cold Gigas and collected this lumber as a drop.
i have killd about 50-75 Cryptonberry Stalker in last 3days i been in pso' xja for 5-8hours each day... this drop rate really this ***** up... i even have Pso'xja map that how long i been there...
what you read in where, the brady guide? Everyone knows thats only good for the maps. Believe it or not the brady guide...even allakhazam is not the end all of information sources. I however confirm that this drops off gigas in Beaucedine. I got it while leveling my NPC there. I don't remember which one it was though but it seems from previous posters thats its all gigas up there.
This lumber is one of the synthesis materials required to make Odorous Knife / Odorous Knife+1. (White Steel + Magnolia Lumber + Darksteel ingot + Fire Crystal, Smithing(Lv?))
Cryptonberry Stalker in Pso'Xja drop these. Soloing at the uncapped towers is pretty easy. Drop rate is pretty nasty though, I killed around 15 before one dropped.
yes i found one in pso durring what was supposed to be a 5-2 but we got stuck with an ice storm so we started to fight down there and it came from a strange tonberry creature.. however it cant be sold as far as we know
