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!

yea...I loathe lizzy -_- spent a full day camping her. 7 spawns throughout the whole day. I got 3 claims...NO DROPS. I have never been so unhappy in my life...wasting a full day of camping with nothing. my BLM was quick on claiming her with poison, but it a rare drop w/o TH1 (i was using BLM/RNG). and my THF is only lvl 15, so no flee yet >< I give up for now, but once I hit lvl 25 THF, shes gonna regret not giving me those boots....
well...

I was on my way helping a friend finish his Rank Dragon quest, and I got hung up and left behind a bit while we rode to Bastok on Chocobo. I remembered another friend showing me a spot and saying "Sometimes Leaping Lizzy spawns right here."

I hovered around a bit on choco, and when I came around a rock, a small crowd of onlookers were surrounding Lizzy. He was already claimed so I didnt even bother getting off my Choco, but I was kinda happy just seein him/her in the first place. I am currently camping him/her, cause my boyfriend really wants the boots but has little time...so far, no luck, and there's heavy competition too. *sigh*
waste of time

this stupid lizzy is a waste of time, you mite aswell buy the boots, because u can sit there for 3 hours, and when it spawns, some ******* ranger will get it and its dead
RE: waste of time

i feel for you man. Try going against lvl 50 plds and drk with flash and stun! IT'S NOT FAIR! believe me it's worth the time when you get the drop. 260k...it's worth it...
leeping lizzy

Here is my leeping lizard story. I have only been playing for two weeks now but from hunting in that area and see all the higher lvls just standing there i learned about leeping lizzy. So last night i was back from konschat had just finished the eco-war quest. Passing into south gustaberg i figured i would just keep an eye out for the leeping lizzy. I looked for about 2 minutes with no luck, so i started heading to south gustaberg when i saw it... but i was not the only one who saw it, the guy directly beside me saw it and it was a foot race. I got in range and used voke to get it. The battle was short but ended with a nice pair of leeping boots. Most of the other campers were a bit angry because they camp leeping lizzy all the time and have not gotten boots where i got in my first encounter.

k i guess i'm a leaping expert, some people tell me i'm obessed with lizzy, it's not true...*looks around* umm she spawns exactly where they tell ya. Trust me waiting 3 hours isn't fun
RE: spawning

Ok guys, here is my Lizzy story (got the boots tonight ^^) and since I camped Lizzy to wear the boots and not sell them, I will tell you exactly how I got them, and how the rest of my LS has done it as well.

First-
WIDESCAN IS NOT NECESSARY...AT ALL. There are usually so many people camping Lizzy that you need to think about it like this: if she doesnt spawn in front of you, she is spawning directly in front of someone else. By the time you spam widescan, then find Lizzy, she'll be dead, and the person will be wearing the boots. Forget widescan and sub THF for treasure hunter (yes TH 1 helps with rare/ex items, this has been indefinitely settled by Square themselves). Provoke is useful as well because while she may have spawned near you, someone else is probably looking at her too, kinda like old-western gunslinging, gotta be quick. However, I claimed Lizzy with my DRK b/c the range that I can cast poison is much larger than the provoke range, but the interruption in spell casting can be devastating, so take your choice b/w range or speed.

Camping-
No, I was not one of the lucky ones who happened upon Lizzy grazing upon the fertile Gustaberg soil, laden with Leaping Boots on their way back from Valkurm or where ever, I camped to the best of my ability. In terms of location, allakhazam.com has a large circle of spawn points, however I have seen Lizzy spawn about 10 times. Once she spawned at the top of F-8, once in western/middle F-8 by the Fumaroles, and the other 8 times were in southern F-8 (I actually killed her just over the line in G-8 by the quadav campfie site). I highly suggest camping along the bottom line of F-8, while running back and forth from the edge of the cliff overlooking the Fumaroles to the quadav camp site to the east. When you spot Lizzy, I dont need to give you advice, do whatever you can to get aggro of her, use a boomerang, cast poison, voke, or for god's sake throw a sock at her, just get her. As for the fight, theres nothing to say, piece of cake (she does no leaping ><). Happy hunting and good luck, by the way, if you get these boots, I strongly suggest you keep them over selling them. In addition, youll often see lvl 60+ RNG/THF camping, do not be discouraged, one of them was standing right next to me when I smout Lizzie's ruin upon the mountainside and put on her glorious boots. Hope this helps. ^^

Edit: Forgot to mention spawntime, no there is no chart to spawn times (come on, you cant be serious). However, the vast majority of her spawns occurred between 1 and 3 hours. When you show up to camp it is easy to tell when she last spawned, if you dont see anyone there, youll be waiting a while, if tons of campers are already settled in, get ready b/c shell probably spawn very soon. Gotta have patience, I was close to giving up, glad I didn't.

I don't get how you guys just randomly get it when you have no idea what it is, personally i dot believe some of your stories cause i been camping this thing, and theres always people there who had widescreen. Also if anyone on Seraph server that wants to do it together, send a message to Hodigue. Thanks

I am so happy! I camped lizzy 2x, saw her once and guess what? I beat a taru and a ranger plus a score of others to her AND got the boots!. Actually, that was the 2nd time i've seen lizzy. 1st time, i was on a choc on my way to jeuno and as i crested a ridge, i checked on a liz and it was HER! I pressed attack, got off the chocobo only to find a party of 2 had gotten her. Walked back to Bastok to get a new chocobo. :( But getting her made my day. (",)
no luck

too bad your characters are saved on the server, not the HDD, so you didnt "lose acouple level 20s" and I wonder if you've ever actually seen lizzy...
I hate this little monster!!!
# Jun 22 2004 at 2:10 PM Rating: Decent
I was sitting F-8, as my lvl 6 taru war. just walking around trying to find something to hit my 2- hour and kill, so i see an amber quadiv and pull my out my harpoon, then once I enguaged the quadiv and hit my 2 hour, then out of no where the leaping lizzy pops up. I was so mad that i ran upstairs to tell my sis, when i came back down i was dead, i hate quadivs to this day.

I camped for about 2 hours, my first time there (to camp). I missed Lizzy the first sapwn (oh so close) because there were about 5 other campers all with WS and voke, I was using BLM/RNG because BLM is my only suitably leveled character. ANyways after that we waited and waited and waited. It took nearly2 hours for the next spawn and lucky for me the other campers slowly moved out for whatever reason. It ended up it was just me and one other person when teh next spawn came and I managed to grab it with poison even after I had to run around that mountain to get to it! Two simple level 2 spells later Lizzy was dead and I had myself a brand new pair of leaping boots! They're currently up for auction in Jeuno for 220k, the going rate. Too bad I didnt manage to grab this rare when it was closer to 300k. Oh well, what do I have to complain about!? I killed the thing once and got the drop, that made my day!

BTW if anyone is keeping tabs, the first 3 times she spawned for me, she spawned RIGHT in front of me..in road in front of big rock. I stood in same place..got 3 spawns in a row. I can't remember what game day it was..i was there for 20 minutes before first spawn, then it was 45 mins, then an hour and 15 minutes..dunno if she spawned anywhere in between tho..just know what i got. When i got the boots, she spawned in the same spot she did the other 3 times.
Finally..heh
# Jun 21 2004 at 2:11 PM Rating: Decent
Well..I guess all you can say is how lucky I am. I started camping lizzy 3 days ago..level 11 rdm. I don't know what i was thinking..couldn't kill her alone. I made a group with a guy i trusted in my linkshell. I was quick with the dia and we got 3 spawns in a row, no drop though. I guess I spent about 7 hours there that day..no lie. The next day i camped for about 3 hours and didn't see her once, although she spawned a couple times away from me. So I decided to go to dunes and grab some levels. This morning I logged on as a level 15 rdm with my new levels. I was headed back to the dunes, but made a pitstop at lizzys home. I killed two rock lizards and she spawned, I was there for MAYBE 2 mins. Well I got her and killed her pretty easily..and i got the drop! I couldn't believe it. I guess that makes me the richest level 15 around lol. Probably not but its nice to dream..just waiting on them to sell tho.
RE: Finally..heh
# Jun 22 2004 at 9:44 PM Rating: Default
this story is really hard for me to believe
i have a lvl 25 thf
i always camp the lizzie as a THF25/RNG8
killed it 13 time
no drop
i cant beleive a person without treasure hunter has ever gotten the drop in so little kills
I THINK YOU GUYS ARE FULL OF IT

I camped her for a little over seven hours with a lot of competition, spamming widescan constantly, and never leaving for more than a minute at a time. A far as I know, there were 7 spawns, the intervals between which varied greatly: sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes 2 hours. Out of those spawns, I killed 3. On the third I got the boots. I camped her as level 33thf/1rng and I do have TH1.
Make of my tale what you will.
leaping lizzy

Me and my friend from my LS decided to go camp leaping lizzy!
We headed out there and we both seperated. I stayed by a ranger knowign that he had wide scan. Then about ten minutes after i had gotten there the ranger used flee, my heart started beating and I knew he'd scanned leaping lizzy! I immediately followed and sure enough there was leaping lizzy. I hit my voke macro about 40 times and yes i got leaping lizzy. Used my 2 hour special. After my first fight with leaping lizzy "You find leaping boots on leaping lizzy!! Woo!!! So me and my friend went to sell the boots in Jueno for 215k. Should i split the cost with him since I did all the work even though he was in my party he didnt even fight it nor find it nor well anything! So should i split with him....yes or no??? what do you guys think?
ARG!

The Horror
# Jun 19 2004 at 3:04 AM Rating: Decent
I've never seen Leaping Lizzy before and I've refused to camp her for quite awhile. For some odd reason I decided to level my BLM up in Gustaberg (I'm from San d'Oria, go figure) and while nuking lizards, I ran across Lizzy on a path. I seriously could not breath and the first thing I did was cast Poison on her. Alas, my BLM was only level 8 and my LS still torments me about dying to Leaping Lizzy. So I guess it's not really 0/1 for me, it's 1/1 for Lizzy XD
well i got it now...
# Jun 18 2004 at 7:20 PM Rating: Decent
after i messed up the first time i tried again, and boy was i lucky i got it the first try (actually fighting it) and man i was happpy. Also about 20 other people were going after it as well....so i was extremely lucky for it to come my way. For now im 1/2, but not stopin yet.
omg
