Well, I've been down in gustav for over a week now. Solo'd this bastage several times and he still refuses to drop the bow.
What makes it worse is that at one point, I went afk to make a cup of tea and came back to see a couple guys duo'ing it. Low and behold, they got the drop, after only camping for a grand total of 2 minutes.
Once I get this bow, I'm not going back to Gustav for a loooooooong time.

I finally hit 67 and after reading all the bad luck people had I doubted I'd see this for a while!
So first time camping, I brought my 75thf friend who assured me it would be no problem.
2 minutes later a shepard aggroed me, and at the same time he popped! Other party 8 ppl claimed so I sort of gave up at that point, turns out there tank was a drk o.O; 5minutes later and there dead, thf pulls, kills xbow drops! all together camped for 10min!
By the way this weapon is as good as people say, it so far has outdamged my Selene's in exp per shot!

Just killed him about 20 mins ago in a xp party.
Party at the beginnig
RDM WHM BLM THF/NIN NIN/WAR WAR/NIN 57-58
Once i got inside Gustav Tunnel my party was already at camp waiting. As im asking for camp position, everyone was debating about Drachlox if we could kill it. I get there and voke it then we zone with 148 HP, everyone else was fine.
I started at 2004 xp, THF left when i had 9000 xp then DRK replaced him. Once i had hit 58 our party was 58-59, we kill 2 mobs then Drachlox pops again.
Straight away we decided to either Kill him in order to get to other mobs or just give up.
With 2hrs on stand by and tatics gone over i pull.
NIN stood back so Drachlox only used bow DRK and I gave him all we had, while mages nuked and heal like no tomorrow.
Got it 1/3 HP unleashed 2hrs then NIN and i kite it till it was dead with Mages healing. Everyones HP was in yellow no deaths ^^
Got 216 xp 1000 gil and EVERYTHING he can drop.
NIN needed bow for their 70+ RNG so it couldnt have worked out better in the end.

Think a lv. 75 Thf/nin Can take this guy?
I was camping for 2 hours before today's update... no pop. I need this bow already! Does anyone know a solid pop time, or if it's a lottery NM? Please help.
Got invited into an all JP party, well cept me, and headed to Gustav. Pt was awesome, we cleared through 12K exp that night but the puller had pointed out that WPD had popped. Our leader said no unless we we're full healed and used our 2hrs ready. Just as we were about to fight it another JP pt came in and we allianced it. Everything was going great, only had one death, the Mnk had caught too much hate with his WS, but I finished WPD off with SE + Guillotine.
O.Bow dropped, we all lotted and the WHM got it lol.

Claimed him the other day but just had me and a THF72 to kill it, got it to 40 percent and bomb drop killed me, THF had 72 hp so he ran up the tunnel to the RDM we had otw who had zoned in, got healed but lost claim and 3 level 75 JPs killed it in nothing flat. Didn't drop the first time for me and didn't get the kill the second time, didn't even get a raise from their healer, just a lot of taunts. Irksome. I can understand claiming him after he comes unclaimed (even though it looked like none of them could have used it) but at least raise the people that have died, that's just courtesy. It's not like I made fun of them or insulted their mothers or anything.
Bleh.
Bleh.
Here's our story. One of our LS members told us that the gobbie was up and unclaimed during their XP party. So, one of our DRKs wanted a piece of him and I was just flat out bored waiting for my static to start up. Both of us didn't have any intentions of getting the bow, but bragging rights in our LS.
Set up:
75PLD/37WAR - Sword/Shield
70DRK/35NIN - Kick *** sword/axe
What really sucked was the DRK forgot his shihei back in his moghouse, but he went in anyway. We both opened up with Spirits and did our thing from that point on. About halfway through the fight, the goblin scored 2 straight critical hits, it's 2 hour, and followed by a goblin rush. I did my 2 hour while trying to regain as much HP as I could during this time. It started to look really bad at 30% since it was throwing some nasty bombs. At this point the DRK took a risk and did a SE + Vorpal Blade bringing it down to 15%. I spammed Cover ASAP but the DRK took a hit followed by a rush. If he only brought his shihei along, he would've lived.
We both knew the gob was gonna kill us both. I was pratically out of MP from the bombs and only had about 20% of my HP left. Out of sheer luck, the gob didn't do anything crazy and with my remaining 63 HP left, I did Swift Blade for the kill.
We got some gobbie armor and the O-bow...which was a big surprise since we didn't even need it ._.
There ya have it, a PLD and DRK can duo it lol.

At this time I am currently 0/7 on the bow.. on my server, all the crappy, gimped rangers get this bow first time, while others like myself, who put lots of time getting good gear like Dusk Trousers and Hellfire +1 get nothing.
I've fought him 3 times in 9 hours.
However last night was 9 hours and 2 pops, we only got 1 of the claims. (weren't there for 2nd)
So I'm 0/5 on this guy, I want my obow :(

Just took him down last night.
Was in tunnel in xp pt, party consisted of pld, war/nin, rng, rdm, whm and me drk/thf( all 56-58). Wyvernpoacher popped and we rested to full as to prepare for the fight.
Rng pulled and pld quickly grabbed hate. Everyone kept away from it, except fot pld who was tanking, firing magic or ranged into it. Got it roughly to 3/4 hp when rng EES for major dd. Unable to keep hate it quickly killed the rng. The melee ensued for a good 10-15 mins with everyone dying except the war/nin and myself (drk/thf). Luckily a 56 whm was there and started healing us and unfortunately for the whm, he got hate from spamming cure VI's and died. I killed it with SA vorpal scythe and the 2 of us lived, we were both 58. No drop. It was a very rough fight espicially since it was just 2 of us but we are proof that he can be beaten by mid to high 50 lvl pt(with major casualties).

It would make perfect sense that this NM is a 12 hour lottery like Sagitarius X-XIII is. Have yet to test this thoery, but by personal experience and your experiences, that is the only pop time that makes any sense.

Popped right as I was reading this! ANd I CLAIMED IT! FIghting right now.... hold on...lol...no drop :(
Last night i was going to Gustav Tunnel for an xp party. Pt was a mix of 54 and 55's with a 70RDM/35BLM as a pl. This thing pops right in front of us. So we decide to take it. No Problem right? >< To make a long story short there were quite a few dead bodies when this was all done. We got him down to a sliver of HP left when everyone started dying. I was the only one left with about 100 hp left so i used Manafront + Freeze which only hit him for 89 dmg ><. Then before i could Warp out i was dead.

you must be the most unfortunate person i know im 4/4 on the bow for my linkshell members.
i duo'ed him today with a war/nin and me as a thf/nin and we did one skill chain light for almost 2800 damage and he was pretty much dead.
if anyone on fairy needs help to kill this nm just send me a message and i will come help you kill.
maybe i can make it 5/5 :P

I'm 0/3 on this guy on obow. Last time our rdm didn't heal the way she should've. We zoned it, had more ppl coming to help when someone else came and claimed it, they also got the drop >.<
just solod him as Nin/WHM:) .. and got the bow..
I was in a 56-57 party in Gustav Tunnel pulling gobs and crabs in the tunnel at the start of the 2nd map. Our setup was:
SMN/WHM
NIN/WAR
MNK/WAR <me>
WHM/BLM
RDM/WHM
THF/NIN
Not sure of everyone's individual levels - I was 57. Roughly an even mix of 56's and 57's.
Wyverpoacher popped in the area we were pulling from and started slowing down our pulls. MNK, WHM and SMN two hours were down from a previous link.
Someone said they had seen a 65 THF/NIN solo the NM earlier (which I now believe is ********** so we decided to rest full and take a stab at it.
Started off well enough... SMN was keeping Earthen Ward on us and the NIN was tanking well. I pulled hate after a Raging Fists, and my health immediately dropped from 1,375 -> 0 !
Eagle Eye Shot for 1500-something damage took this level 57 MNK/WAR down from full health to dead in less than a second. I got a Raise II from WHM, popped a sole sushi, and joined back into the fight weakened.
Ultimately, we got him down to 1/4 - 1/3 HP before the WHM, SMN, NIN and me (again, well after weakness had worn off) were dead. THF and RDM managed to get out of there.
Maybe (and this is a stretch) if all our 2-hours were up, we could have killed him.. but it's still likely we would have just died anyways. So if you're in a party here in the 57ish level range, it's best to just leave this guy alone and keep your distance.
