This is not just a 8-16 hour lottery spawn!!!! I hate SE!
I woke up early, got ToD at exactly 8:30 A.M. EST. At the 8 hour mark my LS and I killed place holders for 9 hours, and the punk never popped! They all left, and I, too frustrated to sleep, stayed up to get the next ToD. He finally popped at 2:30 A.M. EST. Yes, that's 18 hours later.
Long story short: charby took 18 hours to respawn.
Vana'diel Bestiary: Charybdis

General Information
Charybdis Special Attacks
Historical Information
In Greek mythology, Charybdis is a sea monster that is said to take the form of a gargantuan mouth that sucks in and spits out enormous volumes of water three times a day. The daughter of the ocean god Poseidon and earth goddess Gaia, she was originally a naiad until she stole the cattle of Geryon from Heracles, which angered Zeus and caused him to transform her into a monster. She resided along the side of a strait of water within an arrow shot's distance of Scylla, another sea monster that took on the form of a creature with six vicious dog-heads atop incredibly long necks. Ships passing through the strait would have to decide between passing close to Scylla's domain to avoid Charybdis, or vice versa. They would almost always choose the Scylla side, as while passing by Scylla would ensure that some of the crew would be killed, passing near Charybdis could result in the destruction of the entire ship. It is believed that this myth is the origin of the phrase, "Between a rock and a hard place", referring to being forced to make a choice where both options are difficult.

Ive had a similar experience with this. Watched it die, and came back 8 hours later then killed PH for 9 hours before calling it a day. I'm Guessing since its a lotto pop, that random chance of it spawning is very low. Even when the spawn window is open.

I think you're right.
Best bet would just be to say he's 8+ hour respawn, because you never know.

Wiki has this as an 80-81 lvl mob, yet here it is listed at lvl 70. What's up with that? Also, how hard does would this mob hit a lvl 75 PLD/WAR in good tanking gear eating defense food? Also, are any of his WS's AoE?

this mob will hit you very hard and repeatedly even for 75 pld also i believe maelstrom is an aoe attack

my first time seeing this raw peice fo sushi was with Karisitha, a rdm friend of mine, Ostego, a blm in my ls ( cool lil taru ), and an elvaan nin that kari knows.
so, the set up was...
72brd/whm ( me )
75rdm/nin kari
75nin/war that one guy >.>::
75blm/whm taru, ftw!
Anywho... story time!
I'm sitting at my desk, studying for an exam when my phone rings. Kari's all excited and happy and says to me " Are you busy!??? " "no..." "GET ONLINE!" (online = ffxi) "ok..." " We're getting me a joytoy! "
At this point... i am thinking of the stories i've heard...
"We all wiped, it was horrible!" "You cant kill that thing!"
so i'm thinking... "Fubar... but i am bored..."
So I log... grab a tele and mazurka to SSG...
Where we then own the living crap out of this mob.
"W.T.F. we didnt die?" in fact, it was painfully easy. >.>
So, thinking it wasnt that bad of a fight, i decide to help another friend get his...
I dont remember the pt set up, I dont remember many names...
But these people made me wanna boot them and take the joytoy.
All melee with a pld, a smn and me healing...
AOE about every 10 seconds...
Almost died three times...
GAH!
People... get a tank, a bard, a nuker and you get a joytoy easy.
so, the set up was...
72brd/whm ( me )
75rdm/nin kari

Let me just say i am very impressed at the moment. i came to get ToD on Charby and im watchin a NIN/BRD SOLO him....
Update durring fight he seemed to run out of blind pots for his bat earrings and i joined in to help him for extra evasion and cures as 75 smn. Still the guy has 105 evasion, 17 of which are skill. Along with that 8% haste.
So with enough tools i do think he can be killed solo, just spam your SAN and NI spells without engaging him.

woke up this morning trying to guess a ToD, due to the maint SE did yesterday
(like a stupid, i know i shouldn't have done that) i tell a my friend that window is open, tell him he can lot (28th lost joyeuse) and he's otw.
at SSG he sends me a tell saying there's a problem, guess what? his LS not helping him if i lot. crap. (need to say i had noone there). they come down and start smashing mantas.. managed to get a NIN and a BRD from my LS, a WHM joined too.
PT setup:
Saihano, NIN75
Tiggr, BRD75
Tharedguy, WHM75
and me.
Chary pops, and we lose claim -.-. everything going fine, but the other WHM isn't healing much. Manta pops and links, THF fells then SAM and they wipe
woot. we start to beat on chary, had like 20% HP left. everything fine and i get my Joyeuse. Lesson of the day: if you have a ToD, keep it for yourself!!!
Thanks everyone who helped me there, /bow.

I just got my joy-toy today ^^
We did it with 75 rdm/blm (me), 75 mnk/nin, and 71 brd/whm. Mnk had lots of subtle blow and evasion on his equip, but I'm not certain of everything he was using.
When we first pulled Chary, it killed us at about 60%, but we learned from mistakes and when we recovered, we killed him, took bout 30 min though.
I kept Slow II, Paralyze II, blind, Gravity, and Bio II on it, bio because a mnk is not as evasive as a nin or thf so the blows needed to be softened. We opened fight with Eviseration > Howling Fist, and then I got tp for a second sc and then I didn't melee again from there, but did a couple Thuner III's whn I had a good amount of tp and the brd stuck lightening theorny.
Was a very fun fight and I'm very happy that I finally have my joy-toy, thanks you very much to Valhala and Thain on Bahamut too, the bestest mnk and brd evar XD

im wanting joy pretty bad but im in kind of bind. i have a ton of blm friends but no brds or nins. so what im wanting to know is...
can you manaburn chary?
does bind/gravity work on him?
can u sleep-nuke it?
and if i was ever able to get a ninja to tank it, without a brd there would it be wise to bring blms to throw some well timed nukes and stuns to help drop it faster to make up for lack of mambo?

I'm going to just leave this to your imagination:
1) After an hour long fight with a NIN doing 98% of the melee damage, he was starting to gain a resistance to Absorb-TP.
2) Bind sticks for about 1 second on him.
3) God forbid he does actually attack you, even with Stoneskin, prepare for DEFCON 4, cause you'll be in the red.
4) Find a THF. A THF can tank it even without a BRD, just get a RDM to de-buff while THF tanks.
5) I've seen a RDM/BLU solo Charby, but it takes super freakin skill.
6) Bring a loyal DRK along for Absorb-TP. Less Charby TP = less pain on tank.
**Depending on how long your fight is, you may need to Temp. Log for hate control.
8 posts
oh, and Correction: with DEF food, blink, stoneskin, VIT+30 and dmg taken -30% as RDM/BST i took actual dmg twice during my DoT bind kite, and it was for 15-20 total =P
8 posts
Correction: Bind can last as long as it randomly feels like it. I've had bind last 10 seconds or 45 seconds. and Correction: also solo'd as RDM/BST (by me, on Shiva server), it is not "hard" nor does it take immense skill, just time (3 hours 45 mins).

Your HNM ls does what lol , beat up on a lvl 70 mob with your whole HNM ls ,Wingsod destiny , beat fafnir and i'll be impressed , Does it again thats sad , please dont boast what your whole ls kills esp, when it's a lvl 70 mob , what u guys have , a full allaince, lol sad
What are you, some dumba$$ 12yr old troll. Shut your hole!
We beat it with 2 melee, and 3 partial healers using ingenuity. Using a PLD/NIN (link killer)and PLD/WAR for small cures on a NIN/WAR. DRK/THF (link killer)for Absorb-TP and TA to maintain hate whilst PLD cast cures. And a RDM/BLU for Party cures and de-buffs. That's doesn't sound like and alliance at all to me. Go back to 3rd grade and learn how to count...troll.
If anything this was a test in hate control and player skill. Go ahead, you try it.
**BTW: We have beat Fafnir/Kirin/etc. The list goes on. We kill Byakko in less than 3mins using primarily hard hitting melee swapping TA duties.

Hey, just got done solo'ing this bad boy (girl? lol) earlier this morning, as a loyal and proud RDM75/BST75. DoT bind kite up on the top floor, blah blah blah, took 3.5+ hours (8 tav. tacos). Anyway, screenshot. Go go Shiva server, mahaha, LOTB ftw!

I have read that a NIN/WAR or THF/NIN and a BRD can duo this. Since I dont know and BRD, I was wondering, can it be done with:
75NIN/WAR
75THF/NIN
74RDM/WHM
No god Gear or anything, but have O hat, Scorps and some passably decent gear for NIN and THF. Just curious. Thanks.
Oh yeah, Eva is capped for both NIN and THF and both have 2 merits into it.

yes, while camping I've seen it done by RMT. they had NIN, THF, and a WHM. they wiped once, but I kited claim until they got unweakened, then I ended up dying. They ended up killing it before almost wiping again, they got lucky with TP moves, though.

Ok, so I <PLD75/WAR> was sitting here all by my lonesome trying to get ToD so my ls would come help me with fight. Charby pops and a few parties grab him but they all wipe. The English party got up first and killed it. While they were killing Charby, I figure i'll send a /tell to the ninja and see if he wants my help. Here is the /tell in exact wording "Just throwing it out there, but if y'all need a PLD, I'll help for <Cast Lots> rights lol". now, im not niave (sp?),so of course i didnt expect to get invited, and i didnt :). So i log off and go to work with my brand new ToD in my head, expecting to get back on and have a ls camp. Well, i get on, no ls coming lol, so i figure ill sit there for another ToD (only had about 45 min. when i logged on before window opened). So im standing by the Sahagin NPC in the room when that english party shows up. So i settle in hoping to watch them pwn it again. All of a sudden i get a blind invite by their ninja Ickeris (the one i sent the /tell to earlier). so i accept, or course lol, and when i get in party, he asks me if my offer is still good. Hell yea!! lol. So we start camping, all of them were nice peeps. the Mnk gets claim <Chi blast FTW> and we procede to pwn Charby's *** :). Now remember my /tell to the ninja earlier.... So Joy-toy is in treasure pool now, and i go in and cast my lot along with 2 others from the group. The lots were me 501, one of them 101 O.o, and the other guy 121 O.O, so i start getting excited lol. Then the SOB ninja asks me why i lotted, (as soon as he said it, i knew what he was going to do, so my heart sank), so i say "Um.. cuz im here for it lol".. and he says "Sorry not this time"... /sigh.
So he boots me, and i call him an *** in /say and turn to run out of the room.
He of course starts sending me /tells flaming me for calling him an ***, when he is obviously deserving of the title, and tries to tell me i didnt ask for lot rights with my help offer ... O.O that SOB. i tell him he needs to read his damn /tells better, but he of course denies seeing the "CAST LOTS" part of it. now this is what i dont understand, how can you see the first two lines of a /tell and not the third one, when the third line is the one that stays on screen longest due to the upward-scrolling action of the chat log LOL that ***. But, he procedes to flame me and tries to tell me that i didnt say it and such, w/e. he finally admits to missing that part, which is funny he can say that if he is so sure it wasnt there..., so i reiterate that he is an *** and i go on my merry way :). THE MORAL: after playing for 3 years, it still surprises me that there are peeps this low who will do these kinds of things. Also kinda my fault for trusting a random person. Can't trust no one /sigh.

went down to try and camp ToD this morning, then he popped while noone was really in the room. some JP RDM and NIN tried to take it, but the NIN got caught by an unlucky Cross Attack for 980 at about 50%, they wiped.
some people from my LS came down to try and help kill it. it was sitting at the far end of the room, and they all ran up to it and started hitting it O.o well anyways, it got messy really fast due to giving it too much TP, and a Devil Manta agro'ing and messing it up. Wipe
we were all set with a strategy and then i saw the JP RDM and NIN's bard friend appear -.- im like "VOKE IT" ... nin goes to engage, and the JP NIN vokes it -.-
anyways, they killed it, even with a Devil Manta add (which seemed to have no effect whatsoever on them)
at least i got what i came for, ToD O.o maybe ill get lucky soon

This might be a long shot but I was considering dusting off my nin sub and heading down there to attempt a kiting BRD75 solo of Charybdis.
Do you think it would be possible with good evasion gear and shadows, to Requiem and kite this guy to death? At least that would stop the tp gain and he wouldn't aoe as much.... Could it be done?
Although I guess he will link with any other squiddies... and I presume he can't be slept?
Ugh, perhaps not such a good idea after all :X

I have now been involved in killing Charybdis 3x now, tonight with the most off setup yet. First time it was THF75 tank with no merits, wiped but got it after we raised anyway. Had BST75 on assist, PLD70ish and WHM70ish on cures, and me on BRD75. Second time it was same THF tank, (good job Leelu ^^) but with only PLD70ish and me on BRD75. Tonight we got him with MNK75 tank, Cantide, using Counterstance + haste gear, BRD75 RDM75 and WHM60ish. Charybdis is not at all hard if you have a brd who knows what he's doing and a competent healer. However, what they don't tell you is when using a NIN/THF or THF/NIN tank on him, you can't really direct cure the tank. Tonight Cantide kept hate at all times with his DD and we just cured away, went pretty easy. Take my advice, have a brd gear with optimal enfeeblement gear and make sure they use Wind Staff for Mambo and all the appropriate +2 instruments, and you'll do fine. I highly recommend you don't have anyone but tank melee, i've seen ppl do this fight with 2 nin or thf+nin and it's just plain a bad move, the more TP Charybdis gets the more chances you have to die :P
Good luck ^^
Grats on your Joyeuse, Envieux ^^

Thanks Skilled, Haulk, Orangensaft, Ungeheur, Eidann, Shirikye for coming down to help out. also a thanks goes out to Pawky who has been willing to camp with me over the last 2 months or so.

Thanks Skilled, Haulk, Orangensaft, Ungeheur, Eidann, Shirikye for coming down to help out. also a thanks goes out to Pawky who has been willing to camp with me over the last 2 months or so. Thanks for the new Joy guys!

Well, Wings of Destiny does it again!
We got ToD 2 days ago and have had it since. My PLD friend(Judejagger) has been craving a Joy-Toy for a while now, and I can't think of a more deserving PLD. So I decided to go help him out in his quest for a Joyuese.
We managed to scraggle together a sort of skeleton crew to smite Charybdis back to the depths of hell. We had a DRK/THF(me), PLD/NIN(Xlionheartx), PLD/WAR(Judejagger), NIN/WAR(Brennen), and a RDM/BLU(F-something). The plan was to have only 2 people DD, and 3 heal and debuff at any one time. Here's the details:
DRK/THF->Hate control/Stun/TP reducer/Pop killer=I sat back getting refreshed and throwing my Vampire Cloak on and off, casting Absorb-TP to reduce Charby's TP. Whenever shadow were down, I'd stun to slow down Charby til re-cast. After absorbing 300% TP, I'd load up WS gear, and SATA Spiral Hell onto NIN again. Everyonce and a wile I'd help stomp another Devil Ray before it could link.
PLD/NIN->Pop Killer/Healer. He did a great job assisting with cures to the NIN. That was all he needed to do. But he also helped snuff out any links or pops.
PLD/WAR-> Back-up Healer. He was actually the guy we were doing this for. Eventually because of how long this fight took, he had to temp log and I re-invited him.
RDM/BLU-> De-Buff/Cure/Back-up Kiter. His job was pretty hectic, but he pulled it off like a champ. He used Paralyze, Slow II, Blind, etc. He also used Healing Breeze to cure up from AoE damage. Ended up dying when Charby was at 2% because of hate build-up.
NIN/WAR->Straight tank. He did a stupendous job tanking this NM. His Utsusemi castings where pretty much spot on.
And that's what happened. Well, I did Mug Charybdis for 621 gil, and he dropped the Joyuese and a Shall Shell.

That was me >_>
But yeah, I fully expected to die, but I did last longer than I expected... Cocoon ftw. Woulda been better if I wasn't a gimp and brought stuff like Jelly Ring, Cheviot/Umbra Cape, and a tank food, for starters >_<
Wanted to give a short recount of how we took out Charybdis Friday night and obtained a Joyeuse for our RDM
Party was NIN(me), WHM, RDM, BLM x2, PLD, and WAR. Yep...no BRD.
I stacked up evasion the best I could. I had OHat(10), Scorpion Harness(10), Ungur's Boomerang(8), Dodge Earrings x2(6), Rasetsu Tekko(10), Rasetsu Sune-Ate(5) for a total of 49 Evasion, add another 10 from my Koga Hakama if it was night, but I think it was daytime. I also had my Evasion Torque on, so 7 skill ontop of that. I am capped at 269 for NIN75 and have 0 merits in Evasion.
I got Blind and Slow on him ASAP, RDM put Paralyze on as well. I was really amazed at how much he missed. The plus on this guy is his delay between swings is so long, you can wait to see if shadows are taken on the first swing (you'll know immediately if additional swings take shadows, just watch your icon). If they drop, cast immediately, regardless if he's still swinging. As long as you're not casting when he first starts swinging you won't be interrupted.
Anyways...we made up for a lack of a BRD with a good Stun and Flash cycle, along with Haste always on me. The BLM's alternated and made sure to throw a Stun out when he used his AoE move on me to buy me a few seconds for shadows to go back up. The WHM and PLD alternated Flashes to buy me longer life with shadows as well. We also had everyone stay away from him and I was the only one meleeing to slow down TP gain. His AoE sucks, and his Cross attack will hit hard.
Go with smart players and a good strategy. You don't need a BRD, just skilled and smart players.
Grats Alon!
