I was leveling my WAR in Gustaberg at my friend Xenoras house, and he said "The moon is 100%, you should go camp something" So since i was in Gustaberg, I go to Bastok and change my job, but forget to change my sub. I realized when I got to that big rock that I was RDM30/DRK12. But I said ***** it. I ran around the rock a few times, and I was kinda nervous, it being my first time camping Leaping Lizzy. Then I see a circle of lizards and go over to kill them. I check them all and there he is. So I cast Dia and claim it. I kill it and I get my Bounding Boots! A DRG that came over said show them, so i went to my equip and it wasn't there. As you can guess i was like O.o but then I look at my character HP bar thingy and see the treasure icon! I sort then get them, show him, and then run off alot happier. w00t

lol... 1/51
The 1 drop I did get (Leaping Boots at the time) was before christmas last year, and I sold them in AH (350k at the time O_O)
I'm regreting that now, as months later the went over 1mil, and now I want the boots just for their stats...

Edit: Finally got them... 2/59 ><

0/9 now. With this NM I feel like Bob Dole...I just can't win.

T-T Why?! I've missed the claim 4 times in the past 6 attempts 3/4 have gotten the drop. I'm gonna go hit stuff now. ^^
I Lied...
# Nov 21 2005 at 9:06 AM Rating: Decent
i was pissed because my party made fun of me not having the boots (ive camped this before but no claims .. not even seen the lizzy alive or dead) so i decided to go and camp it early in the morning. there was only one camper, i was 28th/rng. So 5 mins after i got here (he had already checked me 15 times) i see him fight a liz, i use flee and run in the oposite direction. 2 mins later he asked me if i got it, i said yes but no drop. i log off. 3 mins later i come back on and his gone. 4mins after NM pop and got my boots ^^; .. yes i lied, but it was for a good cause.

I hear all your bad luck stories, and there is only 1 logical reason... Leaping Lizzy is racist, she only likes Tarus. I am currently 2/3 on this sexy beast here.. 1 for my friend and 1 for me which were both the "walk in for 5 min, see her, grab her, get drop". the campers there tend not to like me, but hey! sometimes i dont even like me

No, no... I'm a Tarutaru and I'm 0/27 on that drop. ._.

Well I don't know who told you this, but it sounds extremely difficult to prove.
Before the change from Leaps to rare/ex bounds on the drop from Lizzy I was 1/11.
I recently camped lizzy for about 4 hours and ended up 1/2 :) a very happy person I am. For the record I was killing lizzies nonstop along with 2 other people who were also camping for boots.
I Hate Lizzy
# Oct 23 2005 at 11:00 PM Rating: Decent
I hate lizzy i am 0/9 now... 9/19 on claims after like 30hrs of camping... this pop time is so stupid 5 min to like 2 hrs honestly WTH SE... 30 min to 90 min would be best.
wow...

just got my boots 5 mins ago. intresting story which will probably get me some hate mail. 1/1 lvling thf up and currently 33 felt sorta gimp w/o these so i take a ship to bastok and head to gustaberg. i get to the camp site and start using wide scan. about 4 other people camping her. on my 4th wide scan i see her Leaping Lizzy. i hit flee and run my *** off and claim her^^. got boots on first try so yeah thats my fun story.

Ok i have just finished camping, i think im 2/7 (i was getting them for me and a friend) Im 54RDM/21BST

No great competeition, only didnt get claim when it popped next to someone.

You need 4 things:

Location:
I have a friend IRL who used to camp lizzie and so i found out the area she pops in. I stood pretty much in the center of (F-8), and she can pop almost anywhere in this square apart from the top left corner. She can also pop in the small area of the square below and the left hand side of (G-8).

Flee:
Ok now you know where she pops, you now need to be the right job. You need to have flee really, this is essential unless you get lucky.... this means either getting thief to 25 (not hard) or splashing out on some powder boots (not THAT expensive (55k for me)). I opted for the boots because i havent leveled thief. The macro you want is

/item "Powder Boots" <me>
/p <scan> {Found it!) Activating Powder boots -> Flee!
make sure when you press the macro you wait til your hand is raised before you charge off to get her.

Widescan:
Next you NEED widescan, a beastmaster widescan at level 20 is exactly the right size and i assume, although i havent tried it, a ranger widescan at level 1 will be fine too, however, i have a 70RNG friend who wandered past, and i asked him how big his scan was, it covered most of S.Gusta, and took him a good 10s to scroll down the list, so i recomend that you use a job 40+ and sub BST (BST get widescan upgrades every 20 lvls) or just sub RNG at lvl 1.

and most importantly
Patience:
the pop timer is from 15mins to 3hrs in my experience. the shortest i saw was ~18mins and the longest was 2hrs 45mins (almost gave up cos at the end i didnt get claim, and no drop). She pops on a sliding scale (or so im told) which works like this, each normal lizzie that pops has a *chance* to be LL. Directly after her death, the chance is very low, however over time the chance gets less and less. So she is more likly to pop and eventually the chance of her popping is so great, that she WILL pop. However, its time based (so im told), not kill based, so just killing all the lizzies wont help spawn her, but i still recomend getting some help to kill the lizzies around.

EDIT:
*Claim*
I forgot to mention, actually claiming her. The thing here is speed. You want to get her attention as fast as possible. The *best* thing is Provoke but as the jobs i have recomended are Theif Ranger and Beastmaster, the next best thing is Charm. Its also very fast. Macro it in as

/ja "Charm" <t>

I used this macro to claim and its very quick. Lizzie popped right on the far west of her pop radius and i flee'd over there and there was someone next to her dagger drawn waiting for the first strike and i charmed from behind him (she was bound and cos he was the closesest person to her, she hit him! Im sorry who ever you are, but i lmao). I got the claim that time and i got the drop. If you are theif/ranger then your best bet is to use darts. They are one of the fastest things you can throw. You should know the macro, but for those who are newer to the game:

/ra <t>

and just make sure its your *darts* that are equipped and not your happy/fotune egg/morion thalthum/bomb core

*NOTE*
Dont give up because you are 0/6, you WILL get the drop, and they ARE worth it. Mine wont come off, there seems to be glue inside..... (<_<) (>_>)

Its best if you go with someone, not only for company, but one person is the claimer, and one person clears all the mobs. I had a friend with me who was very efficient at taking out the mobs, most of the time my widescan only contained 10 mobs which helps lots.

This is just my tips, this is how i did it, I got the claim, if you like them, use them, if you dont.... dont follow them. Simple really.

EDIT: Added more about pop timer
EDIT: Added claiming bit

Rare/Ex Version

I think 1 of two things should happen now that Leaping Lizzy (and VE, all the Rare/Ex item versions) now drops Rare/Ex versions:

1) The spawn time should be taken down to 30-45 minutes

or

2) Make the Rare/Ex drop 100%


My reasononing is this: When it dropped a 800k drop, I can see it being so difficult to receive. I don't think it should be so easy that everybody has bounding boots and emperess hairpin, but it should be easy enough that you should be the only camper, and receive your item after 2-3 hours of work. This would keep it rare enough so that not everybody would have it, but accessable enough for the rare/ex version to be within the reach of the not-super-rich. If its still so hard you've spent days getting it, that pretty much just decimated the origonal idea behind making the rare/ex item in the first place.

Not a very good idea. Make it to easy, you drop the price of the Leaping Boots because no one needs them. Thus alienating those people who either spent pisswads of time or gil getting their Leapers.

People who pass thru town after you've been killing the placeholders for three hours, kill the stupid Lizard because it spawned right behind you right after you engaged a PHk, and then don't get the drop and decide to stay to try again should be SHOT.

I hate this game sometimes.

if they didn't get the drop, they have just as much right to be camping LL as you do, ***.
no luck

I thought 2-leaf mandragora bud would work but It didn't >< I was so pissed I spent like 6 hours camping it and no drop... and nobody got drop >_>

haha this is poofie, not tydeis, im just to lazy to change accounts.. but i spent 5 days with no sleep camping and got no drop so who cares
RE: no luck
# Sep 15 2005 at 1:12 PM Rating: Decent

I am currently 0/36 on Leaping Lizzy for these damn boots. Even better; after being the lone person at camp for hours, spending all my time killing placeholders---some random WHM wanders through camp, claims my third LL spawn of the night. And sure enough. The boots drop for her first kill.

Thats so nice that my 40+ hours of work are bested by someone who spent 10 seconds wandering through the camp.

Decided I was bored today so I said what the hey, I'll gofor Lizzy. 5 People hunting it so being inexperienced, I don't have my hopes up. Suddenly it pops right next to me, I voke and kill the sucker. Bounding Boots obtained ^^ So now I'm 1/1 on this NM, as well as 1/1 solo on the Spook. Thinking about hunting the Empereror with my luck =P

lol, same here. i did this just yesterdday, and i really wished these were leaping boots, i have no use for them really, i just need gil. i guess i will lvl my rng with these. any1 on ifrit who deosent thinks these boots exist, just give me a tell, and i will be glad to show them to u.funny thing is, i got these without a thf sub. ^^
Bounding Boots do not exsist
# Aug 28 2005 at 5:49 PM Rating: Decent
I'm seriously starting to doubt these boots even exist, because I am 0/10 on Leaping Lizzy, and it doesn't matter how many times I try, I will not get these boots apparently. I can wait 30 minutes to 3 hours for the pop, then miraculously get it, then get... a lizard tail.

Yay.

I was farming land crabs and happened to see lizzy spawn in front of me. I killed it and got drop first try. I guess the trick is to not try so hard. :)

Camped Lizzy hoping that the competition has dropped since it now drops rare/ex boots and that maybe they had upped the drop rate... seemed to strike out on both counts. Went 0/2 on her, but one of my friends in game quit and left me his leaping boots and emp hairpin O_O After having returned to the game from having quit and given away all of my things, this was a nice boost in the right direction. Oddly enough, the price on Leaping boots and the Hairpin have risen since SE introduced these new, duplicate stat items... go figure.

1/2 Leaping Lizzy
kinda funny
# Aug 07 2005 at 12:53 PM Rating: Default
ok heres my somewhat funny story. 2 nights ago i was camping Lizzie. It was just me and some other dude. While we were waiting i thought i would strike up some conversation. So i say to the guy, "how's it goin?" right then, i see on my widescan: Leaping Lizzie. So i track>flee, and run to it. I take out my dagger, am about to take a swipe, then that dude comes outta nowhere and uses steal to get aggro (dammit why dint i think of that!) anyway, after him not getting the drop, i /slap him a few times and log out. The next morning (yesterday) i wqas camping again, but this time there were about 10 people in the area camping here as well. Then, the guy from the night before sends me a /tell to inform me that he got teh drop after i logged. i was about to curse him out, but i held back and just said "congrats, no hard feelings" so we were cool after that. He then asked me if i was camping her again, i said yes and i told him how many peaople there were (10). he said, you should leave and do something else, theres too many people. i said yeah but at least let me wait for it to pop. so, iwait for a while, and then on widescan i see :leaping lizzie. it was in the same spot as te night before (the very western end near the entrance to Dangruf) i run to it, nobodies fighting her, so i use steal :) and get the claim. by this time, there is a circle of maybe five or six fellwo campers around me. Bigdanny defeats Leaping Lizzy. You find a pair of Bounding Boots on leaping Lizzy. Bigdanny obtains a pair of bounding boots!!!!!!!! i dance in my chair. The other peaple ask if i got the drop, i show them my new boots, and then im off to bastok, never have to camp this ***** again. So im 1/2 lifetime and im so happy its over. good thing i didn't listen to that guy :)
