Sometimes the first group and last group of Rock Lizards will not exist on your widescan depending on where you stand and how big your widescan range is...
I don't know exactly how many monsters are in between each group. It is just an estimate.

Respawn time for Rock Lizards is 5 minutes earth time so once you kill a PH, set a 5 min timer.
Then either the PH will spawn again or LL =)

I would recommend that when you are camping LL, go in a party with 2 members, since LL have a chance to spawn either at the upper floor or at the lower one (regardless of which PH was killed...) With two members you can each take a PH to make it easier to keep track of the pop window for each PH.

Happy hunting!

Ok I want those boots too but as bad as it seems either A the @$$h0LE **** hunt them and get them first (because of the server transporting game data faster to them) or B Rude AMEricAn gamers ( i am one myself) talk crap and don't care about wearing the oots just getting money. In my opinion although most likely not wotrth nothing to yuo guys STOP BUYING THE BOOTS. therefore **** and americans will stop hunting for boots for cash. This is only way to get that price down as for the server time problem GEt an all AMERICAN SERVER PLEASE even though some jpas are nice 50% of them are @$$holes too When PVP comes **** again will dominate >< im tired of this

Yeah pain in the keister for those campers but what can they do? Killing Lizards does seem to help (the actual amount doesn't count) but it does help to stave off the boredom if you're camping.

Anyways for those who do camp. Two known locations of this lizzy.

It spawns right at the foot of the hill on the East side of it and at the lower section Southwest from it on the trail.

Also if you're hurting for cash gold doesn't hurt (does it? ) >D
Sorry ^^;

Sorry about the blank posts, i'm just going to say, people are such jerks, i swear lizzy is such over rated! I saw lizzy once and almost got her, damn Annatar!! It's all cool, but everyday i see lvl 30-75 character there waiting and waiting, and to kill time to kill stuff there and steal noobs mobs. I swear i don't know myself why they put lizzy there. No lvl 1-10 person can beat lizzy. Who would buy the shoes for 200k?! Omg it's crazy when you think about it, but sadly i'm usually always broke so i'll do just about anything to hit it bigh ^^;. I just feel sorry for all the people who wait there and some lvl 75 is like 1 mile away and hits it once and gets the boots. It's crazy sometimes you know. To those people who spend hours waiting for that dumb lizzy, good luck to you and happy camping. Firesday is the day it comes on the most. Well see ya later, i gotta go cap lizzy myself ^^

Ok heres my 2 cents input on my exploits of lizzy huntin. Be warned, its not pretty.
First off, there are always at least 6 or 7 other people camping it, one of which is a lvl 70 thief /35 ranger there every single time i look. I have seen over 20 lizzys spawn or die, I have engaged ZERO...thus had not a single chance of getting boots. I have spent over 30 hours camping the lizard (probably more), and it seems that every time I go there the company is rude and obnoxous. They dont talk to me, they dont respond to my chat, they just make snide remarks and try to shoo me away. I have a Mithra so I actually want to WEAR the dam boots. Every time I look at the boots in AH I see the same names as who keep killin the lizzy and I refuse to buy them and feed into their greed. Most (I say MOST, not all) as in about 80% of the people camping the lizard just want to make a quick gil and 7 out of 10 people camping are at least lvl 50. You cannot imagine the frustration levels I have gone through.
I have a lvl 20 mithra warrior/5 thf, so as I said I want to keep the boots. Agi and dex are my strong points.
One day I was just passing through gustaburg south heading to dunes from bastok and this guy was yellin his head off in shout mode callin the person who got the lizard a *****, yelling that she cheated, and that he was gonna report her to a gm for kill stealing and have her banned (which is funny cause you cant kill steal in this game)and cursing up a storm, etc etc etc you get the idea.
So to sum it up, unless luck is with you camping the lizzy sucks. There will always be those lucky few who get the lizzy fast, and then even get the drop. But a majority of you who are just considering this NM, I would advise against it. I have given up because its just not worth it.
And as for those of you who are still camping the lizard when over lvl 50...two comments
1. I dont care what you say, being a higher lvl directly influences the chance of getting a drop. I bet there would be a lot more boots out there if the lowbies would be allowed to camp the lizzy.
2. There hafta be other ways for you to make money at lvl 50 than the lizard. Thats pretty much the only reason you all camp the lizard---- $$$$$. Thats just bogus. And add in that it decreases drop rate...its even more bogus.
Finally to those of you rude asses......get a life. The least you can do is talk to us who are here to have fun. All you are is greedy and thats not cool.
Ok my rant is over I apologise if this has gotten long but thats my 2 (or maybe 3) cents worth on this ******* of a lizard. Peace out.
RE: This is bogus
# Feb 11 2004 at 11:18 AM Rating: Decent
Hey man, I hear ya.

I've been in the same boat as you are. Been hunting this damn lizard for over 40 hours now. I always try and remain positive, and keep a good attitude about the whole thing, but that becomes increasingly difficult with all the cash hungry lvl 70 campers out there.
Like you, I just want the actual boots, one drop, and I’m gone, never to return to hunt this stupid lizard. Its very disheartening to run around that area for hours, killing everything in sight to help out the chances of the spawn, and then see a lvl 50 Ranger just standing on top of a rock using wide scan.
And as for the lack of politeness, I get that as well. No one will talk with me (very few, I should say) and the comments some make are just very unnecessary. I have watched Lizzy actually KILL a player with about 3 WHM standing around. Never did it cross their minds to actually help this guy out and heal him. They just sat there, let Lizzy finish him off, then all scrambled for the kill.
I really don't know what to say. My good spirits are quickly disappearing, as greed seems to be dominating. I wish u the best of luck if u ever decide to pick up the quest again. And as for me, my only chance is to hold out for that little ray of luck.
AMAZING

Hey it took me 9 hours to get these ****** things and they sold for a good 210,000 and i've never had a better reward. Forget going for those other NM's Leaping Lizzy is . :)where it's at oh yeah and the only place i saw her spawn (all 4 times) is all the way to the south of F-8 next to the little post thing that you can see on your map. She's also usually on that beaten path... But after 9 hours of waiting i found her patter. and now it's your turn. oh yeah i did this as a lvl 30 war/ 8rng. Just kill the mobs and you don need to wide scan anymore if you learn it's location. the first place it spawns is where it will spawn later. Maybe a few feet away but it's all the same idea...

it depends on the con
# Feb 08 2004 at 12:02 AM Rating: Default
you acutally have a lower chance of a rare or even a normal drop from any enemy if you con the monster at anything below even match, easy prey has about a 25% less chance of any drops than even match, while if the mob is incredibly tough and you win... well, lets say about a 50% increase in drops sounds about right to me...

It was a general statement, that supposedly (there's another post about this) applies to all mobs and their droprate on rares. This may concern a NM but it still has an approximate level so would be an 'easy prey' if you're lv15 or so.
RNG/Widescan is a MUST

For those of you camping lizzy and claiming it hasn't spawned in 4 hours and such, chances are it DID, someone engaged and killed it before you even knew what was going on. I used to camp lizzy and run around trying to find it based on sight too...big waste of time. Best configuration is to have a RNG sub for widescan, (BST widescan is crap, the word 'wide' shouldn't even be included in their ability), and a main class that has some sort of 'quick grab' [ie. WAR/WHM/MNK/etc]. With this setup, you'll find that lizzy spawns a LOT more frequently than believed. But, don't be a douchebag like many ppl I've seen and just stand there and scan. Do your part and kill lizards too. What I do is engage a lizard and then let the character fight while I keep scanning the area. If lizzy pops, immediately disengage or unlock and start running. I've gotten these boots 4 times now. 2 sold, 1 kept, 1 made into Winged Boots. Trust me, this method works. ^^

Second, how do you synth the winged boots from them?

# Feb 07 2004 at 5:10 AM Rating: Default
I have killed Lizzy as a thf/rng many times. Out of about the 45 times that I have killed her, I have about 5 boots to show for it. Before the recent maintenances we have had, I would say that Lizzy is pretty random within certain time ranges (15 minutes to 2 hours or so)...but she does spawn in pairs. However, now, after these fixes in the game, Lizzy seems to have been put on a timer. She now seems to spawn every hour and 15 minutes(with the occasional immediate followup). All I'm saying is: keep an eye out for her patterns, otherwise you will end up waiting mindlessly for her and be too paranoid to even go to the bathroom!

Okay.. so honestly.
Is it really worth trying to kill leaping lizzy with a 30 white mage if your a level 15 thief? I mean.. With the treasure hunter factored in, how many time killing her would it really take approx.?

heh, if you peeps r really thinking about money, then lv your theif to FARM!!! i have gotten over 20k in 3 days, and im only lv 16. now come on, isnt that good??? your not guarentted the drop from NM, but u are guarenteed at least something if you farm ^^
RE: FARM DAMNIT!!
# Feb 05 2004 at 7:02 PM Rating: Default
20k in 3 days? That sucks. I can get that much at lvl 5 in 1 day. Along with levels 5-9. Easily 20k more than that usually.

I dont know about you guys but it usually takes me 4 hours to get the leaping boots in Siren Server, lvl 32 thief/ 11 warrior. One time it only took me 10 mins for the leaping lizzy to spawn and he dropped the boots.
4hrs and 190k is really not that bad.

I really wouldn't bother trying to fight lizzy for the boots until you're a level 15 thf...I have never fought her but from what I've heard it's harder to get those damned boots than it is to get Spispi's cape. It would be worth your time to level up your Thf class first guys, that's what I'm doing. Yay for treasure hunter!!

The freaking Lizard only spawns if you kill the random place holder m.o.b. A place holder is a regular m.o.b. that holds the place for a NM. You kill the place holder m.o.b. and she will spawn. Go look it up on a Japanesse site people.

im considering camping for the boots and the hairpin and all the other rare drops i can find out about. but tell me is it really worth the time. i have people in my linkshell thats been doing nothing but camping them for a week and came up empty handed, not to mention every time i go there theres at least 4 lvl 50+ dudes hanging around. ive seen lizzy defeated twice while passing by on my log window but never seen it. i know its F8 but do you have to kill all the lizards to get it to spawn or is it a random timed spawn? and couldnt i do some mad farming in that loong time id have to wait? plus i wouldnt wear the boots id sell it. maybe even for half price cuz thats still 100k for me and makes someone happy to see it a little cheaper to buy. oh well... someday.

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 :)

I saw her three times today. Once someone took it before me. Than I joined two other guys and we fought her, but she only droped a lizard tail... ;( Then, about 30 minutes later, we fought her again but she didn't drop anything!!!
But I won't give up, bucause I need some money...

What ive seen is that it spawns on average of between 10mins-2 hours. the more lizzards you kill, the quicker itll spawn. ive seen it in three spots, so ill try to describe the locations..

as you know the area is f-8 and only f-8.
the three areas i saw him spawn in f-8
1. if your looking at the map, you cna see a bump where that tall hill is in the middle of f-8. she spawned between the hill and the line of g-8.
2. she spawed on the upper right hand corner f-8. not at the very tip of the cornor, just around that little area.
3. she also spawnedbetween the hill and the little pond at western side of f-8, but closer to the middle.

I ran into the Lizzy twice. Both by accident, I was leveling up my NIN7 and saw the Lizzy. Hey, what not give it a try. Even if I died, I can make up the exp lost quick. So I did and I was raped. Another time, I was on my way to Dangruf Wadi to camp the Geyser Lizard with my WAR33/THF15 and saw the Lizzy along the way. I killed it and was very very disappointed when it didn't drop anything. I remeber someone mention that being at certain level makes it different. If so, why is it that I find a lot of level 40+ guys camping it all the time? Most of them I think are Japanese.

One day for 10 hours first 4 watching two others get to lizzy before me then killed her 3 times in a row after that last time got the drop. Now on that day i had her spawn time down to the seconed, but the other day I went to help a friend get them and lizzy showed i said wait two more hours and we will come back lizzy spawned like 20 min later how is that?

I have campd her and hunted her for like 3 days on and off. Every single time- a japanese player got it. YOU also have to realize the *** people see spawns one second before we do---*** server in japan, remember? Anyway- I have wanted them badly and am disappointed. I am a rdm/rgr when I hunt NM but usually rdm/blm or rdm/smn (now anyway). Question-- do darts go just as fast as provoke? Since I am not a warrior- I dont have provoke. Someone said using darts is just as fast.

actually japaneese server connection isn't the issue, most japaneese sub ranger when hunting NM so they have widescan and can see all monsters on map within a certain radius depending on ranger level so they get a major edge on you that way

false. because the server is in japan, doesnt mean they get a quicker response to server.
RE: disappointed
# Feb 12 2004 at 2:09 PM Rating: Default
sorry, it's true

ping any server in america...you should see response rates as low as 100-200 ms

I have friends in Austrailia, Europe, and Japan...they've given ping rates to the SAME server at 300-1000 ms. Why? Latency. The fewer nodes you have to get through to get to a server, the faster times you'll have Each node you go through generally adds 10-50 ms to the ping rate. To go overseas, you're travelling on older technology, or going up 10 miles to a sattellite, and back 10 miles to earth. Even the Speed of Light (which is the speed data travels) takes a few ms in going 20 miles.

So, ping an FFXI server (if you can find an ip address) then have someone in JP ping it. compare response times and you'll see that yes, it does take longer from NA (though not much longer) and can make a difference in gameplay.

I camped the lizzy ******* for about a week RL time, my friends called me stupid , and said i should just keep leveling my character, who was a lvl 23 THF/10WAR, but i never gave up on Lizzy. One day, all my friends are over as i am playing the game, and camping Lizzy, and i am just making my laps around F-8 on the map, looking for lizzy, and she spawns right in front of me and a japanese lvl 50+ WHM (had AF armor). So , i voke it as she casts Dia, i get it, cuz i am the man, kill Lizzy quick, no problem, and, with 2 of my friends at my house, got the Leaping Boots, i was literally JUMPING for joy, rubbing it all in their faces, they were all like "OMFG! HE ACTUALLY GOT THEM!" Then they were like , "dude, just sell them and lend me some Gil bro, so i am like HELL NO!!!!! Not to mention i was planning on becoming a RGR which i did (i am now 25 RGR/10 NIN..my name is Zekk on the Ramuh server), now the Leaping boots are awesome and the next thing i need is the Emp. Hairpin, i decided it would be easier just to save up for it though. Oh, and for anyone who says that the spawn time is every hour, you are DEAD wrong, i have seen lizzy spawn 15 minutes after somebody killed her, and then, 4 hours! So i think it has to be between 15 minutes and 4 hours for her to spawn, and killing lizards helps.

To get the drop of any NM do you need to be around the lvl of the NM or can you pretty much be any lvl. Since I am lvl 37 would that hinder my chances of finding the boots?

Camped lizzy for 1 1/2 hours last night. I was using 33Whm/1Rng and my friend was a lvl 45Rng/15Thf. It was the first time either of us had camped Lizzy and i thought it was getting pointless. Immedately after i told her that "I dont think we're going to see lizzy tonihgt" I checked my Wide scan and there she was. Exited Map mode and Lizzy was right infront of me. Casted Dia... and two wacks with my spiked staff, and we had ourselves a new pair of boots! Being a whm, I didn't have any use for them so I gave them to my friend. But I made her swear to me that when she get's to lvl 55 she's going to camp out Roc to get the Healer's Staff... But she's an awesome friend, we've lvl'd together from 18-34. So she's loyal and true. =)
