Katayama Ichimonji  

Well I just got my sam the other day and a friend said theres a good katana that drops of this guy. So I waltz up the mountain and Carnero was already there. Kill, bam, drop. Guaranteed 100% drop for anyone else going to get this. Might not get as lucky as me with him already being there but oh well.

Was fighting on Vomp hill yesterday as my 9 NIN and saw Carnero, new its lvl and what it dropped so thought i'd have a go, was owning its *** when 2 Ornery sheep decided to link, thats when i died, HP'ed and got my 31RDM and raced back to the hill just to see someone about to engage, so franticly typing Carnero Can I Have It on universal translator hwen the guy engages and kill it and sends a message back in english sorry don't speak english and runs off, so i camped, killed all the sheep i could see, all the skellies and Wolves that spawned at night and no Carnero. /fumes. Gonna try again tonite, my SAM's only lvl 5 but this is one nice weapon to own.

Hey - Brand new to FF XI... ( man there is alot to learn in this game) anywhoo I was walking around Vomp Hill , harvesting beehive chips, while my friend was on the second level and saw Carnero... he asked me if i knew what that was - I didnt. He decided to attack it ( lev 11 monk) and got killed.. I went up myself ( lev 12 war) and fought him and got him to a sliver of live left - before he killed me. We grouped and went up to exact revenge. killed him and He got the Katayama Ichimonji. I've read this is a rare/exlusive peice of equipment. Is this weapon sellable or tradeable at all ? Neither one of us is / or most likely going to be a SAM. Is there any way we can get rid of the Katayama Ichimonji? Is all Eq recieved by NM kills non sellable/ tradeable ?

got the drop on accident looking for onery sheep for fresh blood drop for chocoboleech's Gassen, i just keep getting more and more reasons to play SAM lol.

kill a bunch of sheep....1 triggers the nm 2 pop...its like lvl 15....kill it and

congradulation! u got a sweet GK

well this GK is not a 100% but maybe 75% cause i went 3/4 with it i got this bad boy last year and took it up to 21 cause the extra str made it stronger and after that noticeable drop in dmg so it's good GK for 10-20, it's good to camp this while waiting for LL window lol good luck btw sam75/war37/rng37/thf37 most combat skills capped

100% drop rate ?

Can't vouch for that statistically but i did kill it and get the drop first time.

I'm am also intending to take this sword to at least level 20, maybe further. Beats all the other weapons available until then hand's down.

BTW killed Carnero with Sam9/Rng4, no problems with some meat jerky and 300 tp and a little Meikyo shisui if it all goes wrong.

So I am bored off my mind right, and my friend died like 4 times doing some mission in the dangruf wadi, so i say sure why not i'll PL you to get your lvl back other wise she would have needed to buy new gear. SO we hop on to vomp hill, and she starts killing bees, i see this guy, sais impossible to gauge, so my first thought it... hmmm.... how impossible to gauge is it >.> its is south gustaberg after all, so i decided to throw a stone III on it... he died, I laugfhed and got my Katayama :P So i quickley went over and changed to my lvl 10 samurai to try it out and Damn is this a good sword, i partied with my friend and i was owening lizzies like nothing. She left as soon as she lvl'd up but i decided to stay and test out my new blade in every mob i could find, soon enough leapin lizzy spawned.. me still lvl 10 sam decide to take her on, danm i owned her got no drop, but it was pretty sweet, kept soloing got close to lvl 11 when she popped agian, killed her and got drop this time, some thief got mad that he was waiting for like 4 hrs and i claim and kill it twice as a lvl 10 sam/war, so i decide to stick a round a while and like an hr later now as 13 sam/war, i get the claim once more, i inv this thf guy to my party hoping he gets the drop and to make sure no one else gets claim, but no luck. :\ So i decided to call it a night and to make sam my new job to lvl thx to Bounding boots and Katayama :P The next day i got my Sam to lvl 20 :P now i need to find out what sword to get ^.^

whens a good time to get a new weapon? lvl 20?

ive also had this since 10

Ok so I was lvling whm in Gustaberg for a sub to my DRG. I was on the second level of Vomp Hill and I saw this sheep that was bigger than the rest called Carnero. I looked it up here on Alla and saw it was lvl 11-12. I tried to take it with my lvl 9 WHM and died rather quickly, so I HP'ed, changed jobs to my 26DRG, and came back out hoping he was still there, after about 3 minutes of searching I found him again and swiftly took him down. I got the katana so it should be very useful when i need to lvl SAM sub for my DRG.

Since it's rare/ex it can't be sold.

im lvl 30 WAR/13 WHM with BST and PLD im going to get this sword no matter how long it takes. just because this sword looks hot as hell im going to get it then doing the quest for SAM

Same post in the Sheep's section. Pure luck. I had just zoned out of Bastok Markets, my Paladin friend was going to PL my BST to 10. Soon as we go out, some person zoned this mob. I checked it and it conned Impossible to Gauge. I was partied with my PLer and I was like "omfg KILL IT!" So, the Paladin pwnt it good and the sword dropped. We were like "Hrm?". "Lotted!" lol. I out-lotted him and now I feel bad; but what the hay..we're looking for it as I level. Nice GK, too. Perdy-lookin'.
