Ran across this NM

I ran across this NM while doing an NIN scroll quest at H-7 and i checked it was impossible to guage to me. I managed to kill this NM with two links and 1 skeleton with 75 WHM/37 BLM with regular methods...sleep, hexa-strike and aspir. very easy.

How would you aggro at level 75 where this NM is located. I kill this NM all the time and nothing in the grotto aggros me and I am level 75 SMN?

I highly doubt he got aggro'd, and in fact, I don't believe he mentions getting aggro'd. What he said is that he had a link, big difference. As for the skeleton, I have to imagine he tried to use an AOE to kill off the links, and caught the skeleton up in the AOE.
waste of time

Camped this piece of **** along with Namtar and Wuur the Sandcomber for about 7 and a half hours. My last round of PHs before I just give up and go to bed [it's about 3:30 am atm] and I walk right on top of it.


Real easy as WAR74/nin37; Hit me for about 60 when I was too lazy to keep shadows up with berserk on. Killed it real quick but it had surprisingly good VIT since normally my attacks did a lot more. Dropped Pigeon's Blood Ruby, Fiend Blood, and Beastman Blood, along with 1.5k gil.


7 and a half hours for 200k drop? I'd do better on friggen beehive chips.

I have been camping Masan on and off.. The first time I killed ever Leech in sight out of just being bored as hell.. Somehow 7 hours past by Masan pops, I kill him thank you for Pigeon Blood... Next Moring 7:30am I arrive at camp, *** Galkan standing there.. So I stood there and he never moved not even to kill the Leeches required to pop Masan, So i killed all the Leeches while he stood there.. 8 hours past by he wont talk to me just stands there, I kill a leech, Masan pops, The STUPID *** Galkan walks right to it kills it.. Than says sorry to me... I was so pissed I did all the work and he stood there... WTF
Masan..

moral of story: avoid galka
way more then 1500 HP
# May 07 2006 at 1:50 AM Rating: Decent
i can confirm this thing has alot more then 1500HP because i got 4 WS off on him as 60SAM/30THF and all were over 600 dmg. Also he drops 1800 gil when you kill him and i got a ruby and 2 fiend bloods

Guaranteed Drop & Level
# Jan 31 2006 at 9:15 AM Rating: Decent
According to ffxi.cannotlinkto, the ruby is a guaranteed drop, and most people can verify this. Somepage also puts the level at around 39, and says it has 1500 HP
This is very inaccurate, he has over 4000HP. His level is very difficult to judge. His damage was very high, criticaling for 127 on my 65thf, but his accuracy seriously sucks. His damage and HP place him at around level 42-45.

I had never even seen this thing before, though I had read about it. I was going into the grotto to do some fishing. I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be hilarious if Masan was up as I passed by and no one was camping it?". Just to humor myself I go to his area before I head for the big pond. right as I turn the corner to head south to him, I read "Masan" in my target window. I nearly choked on a peanut at this point. I claim it and it goes down easy, I'm DRG75/RDM37. Got a vial of fiend blood and Pigeon's Blood Earring. Goes for 200k on Siren. Not a bad little boost to my wallet, especially since I didn't have to wait at all lol.

Solo'd this guy as a Drk61/Thf30. Wasn't an easy fight especially with drain TP, I used souleater+bloodweapon on him near the end to kill him. Also had a link.

Ruby dropped, not sure how much it goes for on asura.

Edit: Goes for 240k on my server, well worth the kill (specially since I was just passin by :D).

His level?
# Oct 16 2005 at 9:40 PM Rating: Default
I'd imagine his lvl is around 45-50.

Just killed masan with my whm friend, i'm blm 65 blm and it took nearly all of my mp to kill him >.>; though he got through my blink and got through my stoneskin in 3 hits before he died. All in all i only took 6 damage -_- but i only had around ~240/850 mp left in the end.

After killing Wuur with a friend, I told him about Masan... lucky ******* spawns on him like 20 minutes later while I'm off running around SSG.

So later in the day I decide to try camping him for my own 100k ruby.

Took 4 goddamn hours to spawn. ;_;

That's a funny picture right there. Its mouth is so big. XD

I've never personally killed him, but I was in Norg and my friend saw him out in SSG, killed him and got nothing special, sad.

I've spent plenty of time camping this guy, and I'm currently 4/4 on him. I can clear the entire area around his camp as a 62drg/31whm easily, and the mobs in that area barely get me or my wyvern past 1/10 our max hp. I usually camp him when I feel the need to get a guaranteed 90-140k (Kujata). I think I might to start camp him more for gil, but I hear the ruby drops off of other mobs too. Can anyone confirm this?
*sigh* ._.

Masan is a lottery spawn after one hour of his last ToD(Time of Death). I've seen it take up to 5 hours personally. I hope this helps. Easily Soloed by 61MNK.

My Story.

60 SMN. Here is my story:

I come to the spawn area at 8 PM to find it completely empty. I preceed to kill the only two Leeches in the area and wait....

and wait....

and wait....

After killing the placeholders for many hours (and occasionally even others in the vicinity, just to be safe), it wasn't until my clock read 1:30 AM that I began to lose hope. I thought maybe the spawn time was changed or the spawn area was changed.

At any rate, I stuck with it until 1:45 and then decided that I was only going to go through one more set of placeholders, and then quit for good.

It counted down to 1:55 AM and the first placeholder spawns. I sigh... Knowing there was only one chance left for the NM to spawn before I forever washed my hands of it.

Then... it happened. As if willed to me by my plea, it spawned. I was in disbelief, but I wasted no time in claiming it. It went down with little difficulty, and I was able to walk away from the fight with 1,200 GIL, and a Pigeon's Blood Ruby.

I was ecstatic; 6 hours I waited, and when it came down to the final moments of my camping trip, it actually spawned! ^.^ Now I know I can try again, and again, and again! Considering it sells for 150K on Ragnarok, I am never going to leave until a Vermillion Cloak is mine! :)

While it spawned for me within 6 hours, which was 1.5 hours more than the aforementioned spawn time, the spawn area is correct. It spawns ar H-7 next to the lake. Two Leeches are there; either by the lake or a little to the west of it. Any others are not placeholders. Not the ones on the stairs, not the ones at the far north of the lake, and not the ones to the far west of the lake. The Leeches respawn approximately 11-12 minutes apart.

By the way, Wuur the Sandcomber - whom drops Holy Ampulla - spawns just at the top of the hill at H-9 (though you'll have to go all the way around to get there due to a roadblock) and is a good time killer while you wait for Masan's respawn.

Good luck and happy hunting! ^^

# Mar 02 2005 at 11:38 AM Rating: Decent
i'm 60 THF, can take this guy, (shihei+sleep bolts+blood bolts) barely hits me. but if you rely on TP not a good idea to fight him, he drains tp like crazy. ruby is 110k on valefor. 100% drop is really nice, i just camp him, kill, go clean or something for a few hours, come back and check for pop occasionally and get him every time.


Edit: it pops from only 2 leeches in the room.. that's why it takes so long.
