Hoo Mjuu the Torrent Picture

A magical priest who can cast forth spells like water gushing from a spring. He seems to have connections with paganism and is met with disdain from his fellow Yagudo.

Uses Benediction. Lottery spawn.

Owned by Hong on Pandemonium
# Jun 21 2006 at 11:06 PM Rating: Decent
Hoo Mjuu is owned by Hong, a Tarutaru RMT on Pandemonium. He is in Giddeus 24/7, only off /sea for a moment or two when he happens to get disconnected. He can be found standing in 1 of 2 spots in the Hoo Mjuu spawn area. He's always been /anon, so I don't know his exact level but based on his equipment, he's over level 43. I also know, based on his equipment and the spells/abilities he uses when fighting Hoo Mjuu, he is a BLM/BST. Every single time I've went to camp Hoo Mjuu he's been there. I've beaten him a few times but he's beaten me just as many. Someone is always in control of his character. I know this because every time Hoo Mjuu has popped, he's at least attempted to claim it. Everytime he's gotten the claim while I was there camping, he's gotten it with charm. He's never spoken to me in /tell, or spoken in /say or /shout while I've been in Giddeus, but he has used /emotes from time to time. Everytime I beat him to claiming Hoo Mjuu, and begin battling it, he sends me an invitation (which I've always declined). I'm not sure whether or not he bots for the claim but he does move around occasionaly in whichever of the 2 spots he's standing. I've went to camp Hoo Mjuu at every possible time of the day. You name the time of day and I've camped during it. Everytime I've been there camping, so has Hong. Everytime I've ever typed /sea all Hong when I'm not camping, he's always been in Giddeus. Their are times when it's just me and him camping Hoo Mjuu.

It's frustrating camping against RMT but I'll never stop at least trying. It's a shame knowing when they do get the drop, it's going into a large cess pool, available to anyone with enough money to afford the cost of cheating.

God curse RMT

Of course Hong is cheating with a bot. I was camping Huu earlier tonight and it was just me and him. Hong had his name on away so nobody could message him, and he didn't budge an inch, I was doing all the killing, and as soon as Huu popped. BAM! He claimed it with charm. I didn't stand a chance. LOL I was offering to trade with him and sent him party invites too, just to attempt something... ANYTHING would disrupt his botting hack.

No good, I just gave up, I can't compete with a machine that's programmed to charm the instant a mob spawns.

I am also on Pandy... It is very sad to still see Hong around. Recently SE banned a lot of RMT accounts and i was praying he was one of them. Obviously he wasnt. Well i just hope my GM report doesnt go unheard even tho, as we all know, GM's are JP Onry...

Okay, personally I cant stand camping monsters, im just too impacient. that is why im poor. But my roommate LOVES camping this. he is like 3/forty thousand kills for that signa. Weve started picking up a pattern (thanks to a stuck up little taru as*goes into a series of bleeps, he was a very bad, bad person*) And, due to alittle testing, it seems it wont drop the signa if it does bennidiction. You may ask "But yusaki, it always does bennidiction".. yeah, but because of this taru, we noticed that if you suddnally try to kick the living sh*t out of it, it panics like any WHM, and 2hrs. Were still workin on it, but if i can get some other people that arnt lazy like me to back this up. The secert seems to be to do as little damage as you can, ping it to death. Dont cast blizzard 8.. cast dia, unequip your weapon, it really seems like you have to ping this bird to death to avoid it from doing bennidiction, the two times it didnt do bennidiction, it dropped the fancy little chr staff. Test it out people, see how it works. I may very well be wrong (and, i quite often am) but the fact that it dropped twice when it didnt do bennidiction made me raise an eyebrow. And after playing with him for awhile, he didnt seem to do bennidiction when doing as little damage as possable. If your some uber powerful dude, even with no weapon hitting him for tons of damage, i think he still gets alittle edgy and casts bennidiction. I dunno, but it doesnt seem like a bad idea. If you claim it, no rush to take it down. (though, it pisses off the fifty other campers =D)

Edit: Also, i was thinking that he may also cast it if his health goes down too fast, an alliance of lvl 17's with no weapon still might panic the skittish bird.

...I have disproved this also - he has Bene'd every time I've fought him or seen him fought, but the first time I fought him, I still got a Signa drop.

I'm 4/12 on claim now and 1/4 on Signa.

Umm .. seems like you are making it up? How is it that a 68thf is aggroed by a level 16-17 mob? YOu gotta think these things through when your makin up your little tales of fake triumphs.

Also, I imagine that by the time you Sneak Attack + Hide you would have got outclaimed by another player. so in answer to your question, "How's this ", pretty lame.

Well I think I can say I disproved this theory. Got claim 3 times tonight as 57SAM/28WAR. 1st time I wacked at it with my warp cudgel ubtil it used benediction so I busted out my GKT and killed after i used meditate, got deodorize. 2nd time I thought I'd kill it before it could use benediction so I built up 300% off other yags, used berserk and hit once and then killed with tachi:jinpu before it could use benediction, deodorize again. Third time I unequipped my weapon, took off my O.kotes and bare-knuckle boxed it. My H2H is real low so I wasn't hitting it for hard. It used benediction and when it got to 40% the 2nd time it used Curaga. Also didn't use any weapon skill that last fight, and got zealott's mitts. So I guess it could still be if he used benediction, you dont get that pricey stick, but I don't think you can control which fights he will use it. Good luck. 0/4 now

Well in Asura there is a GALKA mnk subbed with thf he uses something that let him knows which one is the PH or the NM and when it will pop at perfect timing...

the !@#$er uses flee and in like 5 seconds the PH or the NM pops... we were like 8 camping it and he claimed it twice both time I saw it. He pulls it with some mnk ability I never seen before usually dont party with mnks since valkurm(lv20) lol. something about fist I think

I seen him 3 times claimed it 0 times as 47thf/20war **** GALKA most die1!


Edit: Yup Chi=Blast and guess what... now another galka mnk/thf /anon is camping it doing exactly same thing but has a dif name... Name was Sky_____ (sky"somthing"). Im 0/2 on drops now

I am beginning to wonder about this Medicant PH theory. I have been in the area for about 4 RL days now. I am 6/11 on claims, 6/6 on Zealott Mitt's, so obviously 0/6 on Signa. I have seen Hoo spawn EVERYWHERE. I have also noticed that the Pipers and Prosecuters trade PH's with Medicant's so it's a little hard to pinpoint the exact location of a Medicant PH. I have just been killing all the mobs, and then staring at the area when I 1st started my slaughter.

Yippie for Maryo and your Signa Farming, 43THF/5WAR, that's about the weirdest gimped job for item farmin I have ever seen.... u rule...\o/

Surprise Find
# Jun 09 2006 at 9:10 AM Rating: Decent
Couple days ago I just decided to head into Giddeus to go harvesting as a WHM57/SMN28. While running around I spotted Hoo wandering around along the path up above on the cliff, unclaimed. Realizing it was an NM I just started hitting Dia but couldn't reach it. Suddenly it came towards the edge and bam, Dia finally scored. Halfway through the battle it spat out Benediction but didn't last long. Quickly placed Holy and he went under. Surprised me to find it dropped zealot's mitts. Got a nice pair of gloves for my other character and wasn't even looking for them. One of my LS members freaked when I told them I got Hoo, I never knew THAT was the Monster Signa NM.

Made out pretty nice that day on Asura... Bird Whistle for 20K, Light Soleas for 10K, and assorted harvested items, and it only took a couple hours while waiting for a friend to get on. ^^

/laugh @ RMT
# Jun 08 2006 at 7:25 PM Rating: Default
So on Sylph there is an RMT who camps Hoo 24/7. He auto flee's and vokes Hoo. Well today he did that and beat me to claim because I was getting a drink. I laugh because he was afk (46THF) and after about 10 minutes and a link he died. I got claim and drop! Afoaahaf = RMT and boy does it feel good to watch them die! Anyways on a more serious note, I noticed no one is posting about camping him so I guess I will. There are 3 Mendicants in the area, they spawn at the rate of 3hr 25-35min game time, and only one of them is the real PH. Not sure which one, but I think it has to do with if they spawn out of the zone they were last in. Not 100% sure but good luck and I hope you got a laugh and learned something!

Yeah, i saw her too last week. she's been there for a few days already. The first time when i claimed the NM she didn't move (afk maybe), i got Deodorize >.< Then after that she's been claiming everybody's Hoo Mjuu. I get so pissed off and decided to go harvesting then. Then one day idk what happened but saw her dead body. served u right /cheer. Then i decided to camp the NM down and the 2nd time i got the mitts T_T. well since the RMT not around, i decided to try my luck on the NM. 1 hour later i went back in and u know what, there's this Mithran which look very much alike to Afoaahaf which is also a 46THF/WAR came in and stand beside me (lol i found that most botter like to stand at this spot). She didn't move since then and when it's about time i was looking at the radar for the red dot to appear, she moved REAL quick (musta been have her flee on), voke and got the NM... just behind us!!! @$%@#$%

Been camping him recently. The first time with two LS members, we claimed him and received Deorderize. The second time I camped with my girlfriend. We got him that time with no trouble. This time the mitts dropped. Last night, we camped him again... 0/2 on claims that time. Later in the night I tried again with Vegetto. We got him. Deoderize. ><;

Bots
# Jun 07 2006 at 5:25 AM Rating: Decent
I camped this thing last night, my only competition being a 30BLM/5WAR bot. For the second time that night, he beat me to the claim and proceeded to fight and I proceeded to sulk. Muju used Benediction and suddenly everything went downhill. The BLM was wiped out and I got Muju. Only Deoderize, guess my BST will have to wait
He's more scared of you...
# May 21 2006 at 6:34 AM Rating: Decent
I was farming Yag Beads for my Norg fame when he popped around Midnight Lightsday. THF30/NIN. He used Benediction first thing, silly fool. Dropped Zealot's Mitts, which I'm going to give to a LS member that's in early mage levels.

camped him for 6 hours yesterday, killed him twice (hourly spawn)and then the 3rd time he didnt spawn for 3 hours. I got 2 pairs of Zealots Mitts going for 50k each on Odin and the Ninja who claimed the 3rd got Deodorize.
came out of it with 100k, didnt get the 500k monster signa sadly :(
Darts
# May 15 2006 at 2:10 PM Rating: Decent
I have been camping Hoo for a few months now and I have to say that darts are probably one of the thing for a thief to camp with. They are fast and I have beat out several people that use Provoke/Flash/etc. I will usually see him pop every 1-2 hours and darts have never failed me yet. 1/17 on this greedy Yagudo

It's spawned off of a certain Yagudo Mendicant on the platform at H-10, H-9 and G-9 (I learned this because a botter was only killing one specific Mendicant for several hours).

The spawn time is random, from 1 to several hours.

Ran into it by pure accident whilst harvesting. Killed it (as WHM50/SMN25) and got the drop. Complete accident, didn't even know what the NM was. ^^ Lucky or what! XD

I've only camped this spot 2 times as 38 WAR/NIN. I got the claim both times the first time it dropped the mitts which sold for 50k the second time it dropped the Monster Signa. I'm heading to Jeuno to see what I can sell it for. So goodluck to everyone else trying to get this item.
Hard to claim
# Apr 17 2006 at 8:33 PM Rating: Decent
This NM is practically impossible to claim on Cerberus. There is a botter/speed hacker that sits there all day and wont respond to
you if talk to her, but yet when Hoo Mjuu pops, you'd better believe she runs at him with insane speed.

Her name is Gentleness and it's pretty annoying.

From what everyone says though, the drop rate on this thing sucks. I'd like to try for once. -_-

0/7 on signa
1/7 on mitts
7/7 on scroll

i REALLY hate this nm, im going to kill him after i get the signa just to get my anger out. and i kind of found out a pattern if your there and someone else is there and they arnt moving, kill ALL of the yagudo's in a patter they wont think is peculiar and that you can remember, remember where you killed them, then when your done look on the side where the first place holder spawned, and then keep looking, if one of the spawns is him you'll already be looking at him when he does pop.

A friend suggested I camp this NM for the Staff (We were both leveling BST for BCNM 20 and the extra Charisma is always welcomed) so I'm out there for about 2-3 hours, and then about 11:55 PM EST it pops. Now last time I had checked, there was about 2 others who had showed up and were running around somewhere, people with spells and ranged attacks, etc--I had neither (just a 30 Monk/ 1 Ranger) So I hurriedly run over and pop it. Took maybe two minutes. No Staff but it did drop the mitts which I hear go for a good bit? I don't know how much they go for on Remora, but I'll keep trying until I get the staff. Good luck to everyone else!

If it begins to seem hopeless, I might try leveling Thief and come back. Maybe TH will do the trick.

does anyone know the time between pops or is it totally random?
Does TH help seeing as he always drops something?
Someone below mentioned the longer you fight teh more chance for the drop. I got the scroll on a real fast kill and the signa on a slow kill.. (tho I think he took longer to kill when I got the mitts)

I camped this guy quite a bit long time ago. Now I took up bard so I thought i''d give it another shot. I read here several times that people say it didn't pop for hours & hours. This usually isn't true. Just 10 min ago when camping there with 8 :( other's ( several experienced campers too seen them a lot ) I killed it while several of them didn't notice. Not too hard cause after chi blast he lasts 2 atack rounds.

These people usually log out go go afk for at least 55 minutes after a kill but several kept looking and killing PH. He's easily killed by high level players and its easy too miss it too when not standing in a spot where you can oversea the entire area.
