lvl wrong?
# Jun 03 2004 at 3:30 PM Rating: Decent
I was coming from jueno after lvling my Dragoon. Figrued I would choco to Jugner and get some tiger skins, then hit the crag and Choco home to Sandy. Percival popped up on my WS(i had it subbed with my Drg to track the tigers easier) so I went over to him and saw him in the middle of a bunch of other Stag beetles. Knowing they link and at lvl 33 couldnt handle the NM AND a few linked Stags I waited for him to move to a spot where he was alone. I got off my choco and he actually aggroed me before I could attack him. As a Lvl 33 Drg and my rng sub only at 7 the fight was pretty easy. Not sure what was going on with 2 people at lvl 30 barely beating him but who knows. Maybe just a bad run of luck in the fight for you. Anyway I got a beetle jaw and a 35k greataxe out of the deal so thats cool. This thing is NOT camped at all that I have seen so should be easy pickings if you happen to need the item or just an easy 30-35k. Not a rare item either so you can camp all day and get who knows how many
uh hmmm

Killed it

Killed him as a 32 Monk/Thief... Used 2 hr, would've been a tough fight without it, but i could've done it... No drop :(.

I was running through Jugner to get to Jeuno and Panzer was in the middle of the trail around the K/J line (nice surprise just sitting there for me neh?). I killed him easily (51thf/25nin) and got the drop. Surprised me that it goes for 40k (Unicorn Server) because the Gigante Axe that you get out of the Crawlers Nest Treasure Chest is barely 15k. I'm probably going to go back now that I have rng.

Okay guys and gals.... I have camped this a few times...no drop (dang Beetle Jaws)....anyways I'm a 40NIN on Midgardsormr and I know, I counte, that this mob has at least 1700 hit points. also, no, I don't think a Lv30 can kill this solo....he still gives me a little reason to make an effort. He isn't a high damage mob exactly, he just has TONS of hp. He'll weedle a Lv30 job before you can weedle him. anywas that's what I know, hope it helps

level range is wrong
# May 03 2004 at 11:49 PM Rating: Decent
This level range is wrong.. me and my buddy are both lvl 30.. im a ranger and we couldn't take him down w/o me dieing.. and he barely killed it.. i used my 2 hour for 270dmg.. barrage for 254 dmg.. and 2 weapon skills for around 100 each... still didn't kill him... the 25-26 lvl range is a little low
RE: level range is wrong

That's not what it means at all. The lvl given above is the lvl of the mob, not the lvl that you could be to beat it. If you go at that lvl you're guaranteed to have your butt handed to you on a platter.

The two spawns may be independant of eachother, I often check them as I pass through Jugner on Widescan, and had picked him up a few times before. Yestreday, I was walking through Jugner to finish off a stack of a few different items on Thf/Rng, I killed a couple beetles at the North spawn, headed south and saw Percival on scan at the southern spawn. Grabbed him, got the axe, (4 for 5 on Axe drop with TH2 overall)
and headed back up north to kill some other mobs. Just a few minutes after killing him, I see Percival again, at the north spawn. I grab a friend to come zone into Jugner so that the rare drop doesn't go to waste if it drops, which it does yet again.

Strange, my guess would be the spawn points are independant of eachother, and killing him at one point doesn't affect the other, or that Percival has no minimum wait on the lottery pop, and it just happened to spawn at different points. If the latter, it could theoretically spawn in the same spot minutes apart. I think the first is more likely since after telling some friends, one said the same had happened to him, 2 spawns within 20 minutes at different points.

Not a great NM to camp, but it's worth checking when you need to pass through Jugner anyways, the Axe is only worth around 35k on Phoenix, but can't complain when 2 of em drop inside of 10 mintues.

Hehe, same thing happened to me before, killed him once in North spawn, then in the time it took to walk to the South spawn, killing tigers and trees along the way, he was there again. Too bad I only had TH1 on me (which I'm still not even sure affects the rare NM drops), so I went 1/3 after I finally got the axe for my war ^^
and Hi Cauth :D

I went to the "funguar headquarters" to farm shrooms when my white mage was around level 40, using ranger as sub. I ran over to L-6 and killed the beetles between killing funguar, and after killing 4 beetles (which I think is how many are spawned at one time in that area), Percival spawned. Put up a bit more of a fight than the Stags, but I wasn't in any trouble. No drop. I hung around for another hour or so, killing beetles, but no Percival pop.

Fast forward to tonight. While passing through on white mage 45 / thief 15, I checked out L-6 while my linkshell buddy checked J-5. He killed two Stags there and I killed one where I was. Percival spawned immediately in place of the one I killed. He seemed a little tougher than I remembered (and I was 5 levels higher), so I just Banishga II'd him twice in between hammer hits to get the fight over with. Hello Neckchopper. We left immediately to continue our trip to Jeuno.

Currently Neckhopper is 35k on Siren in Jeuno AH.
Announce, please...

For some of you that camp nms like this, it would be really appreciated if you shouted out that the baddie spawned when you snag it. Ive waited 5 hours for one nm before in a large area only to have a group of 6 people come up at a dif loc, kill it two times, then run off while I was still waiting on it. Not trying to be annoying or anything, but it would be a nice change from never knowing if you missed the spawn or not... I had better things to do than wait that long :p

I want to camp this to get the Neckchopper for my DRK. Will a 30WAR/15MNK be able to solo it?
how?
# Apr 02 2004 at 9:06 PM Rating: Decent
i've never seen/heard of this NM... and i've never seen anyone camp it on my server, is Neckchoper really worth it?

I found Penzer Percival in the J-5 location I was there 1.5 hours and he spawned I got the Neckchopper I havent put it up for sale yet but I can see how this axe can go for 40k easily it owns. I fought him as my 41DRK/20THF it was easy to kill and as a bonus I got the payload on the first shot.

i spend about 2 hours in the top spawning point killing beetles. He spawned, i killed it with ease (level 40 paladin) and got the drop. i went down to the other spawninglocation and my god he was there. Didnt drop anywhing that time (would have been a waster loosing a 40k axe..)
hmm alternating spawn?
# Feb 21 2004 at 5:46 PM Rating: Default
Just spent 4 hours camping J5. No spawn. I was lvl 27 Whm with a lvl 30 War to kill.

Just before we left, got a tell from someone who came and left J5 (nice enough too, seeing we were there already) and said he spawned in L7 :( Guy tried to give it to me but someone else got it before I got there.

when you fight an nm, you have to expect no help from anyone. Why? because there are no drops when you help somone who calls for help. Thus, it is much better for that person to let you die, and then fight the mob. You should understand that is part of the risk of fighting NMs.

Chances are that it did spawn and got jacked from u guys without u knowing

i saw it there at j-6
didn't kill anything, was just there, too bad when i fought it, it linked with 1 beetle and my lv30 war died :(
Tip
# Jan 08 2004 at 8:09 AM Rating: Default
I've seen it spawn twice. It took about 3 hours each time and only dropped the Neckchopper once. I recommend having a party in both the J and L squares for a faster spawn. Good luck!
I agree
# Jan 02 2004 at 4:12 PM Rating: Default
I have spent numerous hours searching for Panzer also. I usually have a friend up at J-5 while I wait at L-7. We are both lvl 32 Wars and we kill beetles constantly. Prolly spent 10 hours there and no spawn.
