I was running to Jeuno with my party (I was 19 dragoon at the time)a red mage (i forgot lvl) and a 73 black mage. So we were just ok running when all of a sudden the black mage decided to attack it :/ Boy was he wrong! He told us to run when his hp was in the yellow but the party just stayed except the red mage,white mage and me. so we were running until the 73 black mage died and down leveled then our monk died and so on.
But the only people that were alive were just me and the red mage.
So we ran and ran. when i was near the entrnace to Rolanberry Fields I thought i was safe but after i had turned around who would appear but the ugly ram. So i decided to run again! but it had to use Provoke >.> that was when it used Mighty Strikes and then after 2 hits Dead! and who was the last person standing you ask... The Red Mage of course (who in the end raised us all)

Was coming back after helping 2 18's get Magicked Skull in gusgen, and saw this Huge thing, thought Oh yeah thats the NM I gotta kill for the Belt Quest. Instant voke, cause its konschat im a 59PLD Ill be able to beat it..no nm is higher then that in konschat...Well I soon realized how WRONG I was when a) I couldnt hit it for crap and b) It Mighty Striked off the bat. So I told the 18's (Norsk and moro respectively) to RUN RUN RUN and started running, In the running Norsk got killed by it ;-;..But the blood warp put him where he wanted to go...so he wasnt to angry. I think it despawned to after that..So really sorry if anyone was actively camping it ;-;.

Oh yes, I hate this cheap shot artist with a passion, and I declair hear and now that I will, some day, take this beast down with my bare hands. I have been killed twice by this crap mongrle, and the first time all I saw was the screen start shaking, and my Warrior falling to his death. I know I have a long hard road ahead of me, but once I'm strong enough, this sheep is goin' down. Oh yes, Steelfleece, we will dance again one day, oh yes.

your pretty stupid if you think you can kill it at level 12. a level 70BLM died killing it. and just yesterday i watched a 75RDM/NIN kill it, there was about 50 people in jeuno shouting for tele-dems to come watch, a cround of people were stading on the tele platform to watch this guy kill it, while the whms droped down to heal him. I got about 10 screenshots. I noticed how he used mighty strikes about six times...and he is not a notorius monster, its an HNM, lottery from rampaging ramms, which are lottery from tremmor rams, which are lottery from mad sheep. dont count on ever seeing this guy.
RE: wow
# May 16 2006 at 1:21 PM Rating: Decent
ok. 1, Tremors Rams are not lottery pops from Mad Sheep, thats stray Mary but only after its respawn time has been completed. Rams pop every 10 minutes, in Konstaht or whateva its called there are 2, one nearer the exit to Valkurm and 1 in the more wester region of the Crag.

2, this HNM is variable. sometimes it can be soloed and sometimes it can't, it depends what lvl it is just like goblin Archeoligist and sometimes it will go all out on you and sometimes it will be more relaxed (varying with how many times it tries to weaken state you)

its more then likely immune to sleep but will need confirmation to say if it is or not. i myself find it ******** how mobs are allowed to use moves like that or spawn supposed "2hr" moves every 20 seconds (e.g. NM summoners being allowed to use Astral Flow an infinite amount of times and have 2 pets, 1 to attack and 1 to astral or mage class mobs having infinite mp xp)

Wow, your ability to know anything about this game is clearly ZERO. I swear you know NOTHING about this NM or anything. This guy is EASILY solo'd. I just solo'd him, right now, on my SMN with no slight trouble. He never hit my avatar, I was doing fair damage with my staff alone and he's a wimp I never missed a hit. Sure a Lv12 couldn't possibly dent it, but it's not a great feat to kill this pansy. I could sic Carby on it and just sit back as he has no MP drain and there's a nothing chance he'd get killed by him. He just has a lot of HP that's it. Other than that it's a big wuss.

Level 11 Red Mage vs. Huge Ram
# Mar 22 2006 at 6:27 PM Rating: Good
I was playing on the hydra server for fun and I ran into this guy on my way to the dunes. I was a level 11 RDM with no subjob. I checked out Allakhazam on my computer to see what the deal was, and I figured, "eh whatever...its just my beta character."

I basically wanted to see how much he would hit a naked, level 11, taru RDM for. So I am standing pretty far away and I cast Bind on him. I was expecting a resist, but then I see the following:

"Peeweeherman's enfeebling magic skill rises 0.3 points"

It stuck! Level 11 RDM stuck a Bind on his ***!

So I start running since now this is hilarious, but then he uses "draw-in" or something like that and I instantly die. Anyway, just thought it was funny that my Bind stuck. Good luck to those fighting him, I would recommend you be at least level 12.

Just want to say, as a lvl 61 monk with capped evasion and dodge he couldn't land a hit on me. I beat him with 3 55-ish friends - two whm and a rdm who were farming grain seeds when he popped. They didn't have a whole lot to do during the fight (rdm actually skilled sword most of the time), but he does have a lot of HP and when dodge was down he'd hit me for 60-90 each, so that kept them a little bit busy.

Also (weirdly) he never used Great Bleet.

Anyway, didn't get the drop, but it was fun to kill this mini-HNM.

42BRD/31WHM on choco from dem to valkurm. See someone fighting this big ram, never seen it before. Well almost as soon as I check to see its an NM, the person fighting uses warps away, so I'm thinking "this is Konschtat Highlands, a newb zone. I'm lv42, I can take it." Hop of my bird and throw Foe Lullaby at it, resist o.O We'll maybe it was just bad luck, throw a horde lullaby as its still stampeeding towards me, RESIST! Hit me for like 200+ HOLY SH*T! Tried to run, but it did draw in, first time experiancing this, I was confused, and dead soon after.

I (nearly) solod this guy last night, as 75mnk/thf. Was in Valkrum and got word he was up, ran over and fought him. I killed him but it was a close one. His "Great Bleet" dropped my max hp from 2000 to 450 or so, and he did "Mighty Strikes" 3 times so basicaly every time he hit me it was a crit. Luckily there was a whm there who was so kind as to drop a few cure3s on me, or I would have eaten it.

last night I left xping from bibiki bay i had to tele-dem cause like usual the blms in the area wouldnt d2 me cause they are asshats so i decided to tele-dem and hoof it. As i walk off the tele pad i see some dead Elvaan wich i raise, he starts flipping out about some ram killing him so i use my widescan and i see steelfleece up so instantly i check area and see like 6-8 70+ people here so I fiured he was claimed. yet I proceed to the area wich i see him gallibanting around while people in the distance stare at it. I whip out my CourierCarrie and blindly attack this thing knowing its a HNM so I say wth might as well so I engage and this thing cannot hit my CC wich was dealing about 200- 275 per attack steelfleeces attacks only landed when he 2 hrd with Mighty Strikes wich he used 8 times (yes 8 times) all his abilities missed he did how ever land a Bleet on me wich wasnt a problem i just erase and heal myself and proceed to Rampage at will any how i end up with a horn rampaging horn and some skin. Just one more thing to add to the BST repretoir ^^ I think 2 bsts can duo simurgh or roc i'd love tp try but with RMT running rampant i dont think ill get the chance. So anyways happy hunting to all my fellow bsts ^^ always have pett food on hand just incase. took CC to about 40% used 2 zeta biscuits lots of 2 hr from this ram.

Buy a warp cudgel or a scroll...stop blaming your inability to warp on the fact that other people dont want to interrupt their pt just for you.

Ok there seems to be a lot of misinformation on where Steelfleece spawns. So I'm going to spill the beans (ram hunters are going to want to burn me alive for this)

There are two ram spawns in Konschtat Highlands, a northern one and a southern one. They are two seperate mobs on seperate timers. Both rams may be out at the same time. This is why that annoying lvl 65 THF/RNG always seems to know exactly where the next ram is going to pop. He really doesn't, but he knows that if he just killed one pop it won't show up for another 10 minutes so he runs his *** over to the middle of the other spawn area and waits for that one to pop. then he runs back to the first one, etc. If you are standing in the middle of the zone thinking that there is only one ram, you will loose to this guy every time.

Steelfleece will only spawn on the one that is near the Crag. He will *never* spawn on the northern ram spawn, if you go up there looking for him you are just wasting your time. I used to camp rams for a living as THF/RNG and I have never, ever seen either Rampaging Ram or Steelfleece show up anywhere except the lower spawn.

In La Theine Plateau it's the same, there are two ram spawns and Bloodtear only spawns off from one of them (again, the one nearest the crag).

Your info on LaTheine is wrong. I know of at least 3 maybe 4 spawn points for rams. I don't know if the NM rams only pop on certain ones tho.
#REDACTED, Posted: Oct 23 2005 at 4:36 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) no you're wrong... there's 2 spawn AREAS, those two rams can pop anywhere in each one, so it might seem like more than 2 spots, but if u watch a clock, you'll know there's only two rams
RE: Ram secrets revealed
# Oct 27 2005 at 8:27 AM Rating: Decent
Nope you are wrong. There are three spawn areas.
South, West. and North of the Mountian.
Just Dualed this NM with a 70 RNG, about a 12 Min fight. They Rnger Basically did about 10k DMG in like 2 Min.'s. I Invincibled and still didnt pull hate off him... .. . > < So he died, Reraised 2 himself, and we finished him off. If your a PLD trying to tank this without a WHM . You need Spirit Taker. He can take a few min.'s to kill and can put some DMG down IF he hits you.. I could have soloed it. Would have taken me about an hour. But overall a very easy NM. HNM I dont think so. fyi: We got him on the West part of the mountian closest to the Crag, then the next Spawn was around 29 hours later..
Got him last night

My ls friend has been obsessed with killing either Steelfleece or Bloodtear, and last night he got his chance. Since everyone else in the ls knows he wants to fight these two big guys, they are always on the lookout when they are in Konschtat or La Theine farming.

Anyway, a level 50ish pld is farming, and he tells the ls that Steelfleece has popped. So, me and 71 pld friend get out there (he gets there first) and start to kill it. Since he has a Dem ring, he got out there a few minutes before I did. As I'm approaching, I notice that he has used great bleat, and that my friend has lost about 900 off his max hp. He tries to hold him off with shadows (/nin) and invince while it wears off. We're "semi-duoing" it, as our 50 pld is throwing back up cures from the sidelines.

Our pld is in full evasion gear, I'm using abs-DEX, Trick Attacking weapon skills, stunning so he could get his shadows back up. After about 15 or so Mighty Strikes, he's at a sliver of health, so I end the battle with my Souleater/Guillotine, and what do you know, Rampaging Horn, a ram horn, 5 ram skins, and a Viking Shield! Sells for about 2 million on Remora. Anyway, this was the first HNM (or ex-HNM) to be taken down exclusively by our ls.
where does he spawn
# Sep 04 2005 at 4:29 AM Rating: Decent
does he spawn all over konschat or just next to crag?
Pop conditions
# Aug 29 2005 at 11:04 PM Rating: Decent
Just a detail: Rampaging Ram does seem to be a lottery pop of the two Tremor Rams which spawn in the area, but Steelfleece Baldarich is *not* a lottery pop of the Rampaging Ram. Saw a party fighting SB this week, temp logged out to check info on Bendigeit Vran, and when i came back (about 15 minutes later) I saw RR. Just my two cents.

i like reading ur stories but dam some are too long >.> sum it up if u can.
most n00bs get killed in konschat highlands by battering ram and all the other level 25 ones so this one being 60-70 makes no difference.
soloed

when hunting rams here i notice steelfleece on my widescan.. i tell a friend and he comes over as 68thf/nin and soloed it steelfleece spammed mighty strikes and had loads of hp. of course i died when i shadowbound it because of the pull in move it does -_- but when we killed it no drop ; ; just lots of skin, horns and a rampaging horn

Ikerius rocks! ^^
Just got my Rampaging Horn thanks to this high level thief. I had been camping/looking for help for the horn for about 10 minutes.
He took a few minutes to take down and used that max HP down move a few times along with Mughty Strikes numerous times. He was never in any trouble.
I did approximately 100 damage overall. ^^

Thank you Ikerius

Took him out as a 66thf/33nin. took a little while, hit me maybe 5 times, casted Utsumemi 21 times,
only got scared when he did something that reduced my max hp to 250hp o_o; but that only lasted a couple minutes. also used dancing edge
16 times. this guy has a lot of freakin HP.

Any melee can solo him, at a decent level.
With 200+ eva, he can't even touch you.
