I'm running around Sandy now, killing Orcs with extreme prejudice (After I saw the movie, I hated orcs) in the Outpost. So I'll be heading back to Pal sometime soon. [Level 15 Warrior]
My own story
# Aug 22 2004 at 12:30 AM Rating: Decent
I was helping a LS buddy get his Kazham key from the mines as my BST. While I was widescanning to see if there were any target quadavs around, I noticed this guy on the radar. So I quick tell him "Whoa, I see an NM! Be right back!"

Having no idea what his "good" drop was, I charged in and clobbered the poor thing. He drops the marine shield, and again, not realizing what it was, we lotted, and I won.

When I looked at Bastok's AH (Bismarck server) it was only going for about 2k, so I've been hanging on to it.
Marine Shield

The marine Shield sell for 8 to 12k in Bastok an Carbuncle server

Lol, there's quite a bit of variety among the servers. I got this shield while farming in the mines, and had never seen it before. So I cecided to keep it, and to my plesent surprise it turned out to be worth 5k on Odin server. Not a bad catch for a low-level farming area. =P

I just started leveling PLD so I wanted a Scale Gorget... none available on any AH on my server for over a week... NM hunting I go... I fought him 3 times last night, each time he dropped the Marine Shield.

The Beetles are placeholders
The NM is on a timer. 2hours 10 minutes.

I will be back again tonight for my Gorget, and he better drop!!!
Good times

I was running around the P. Mines looking for mining points when suddenly Bu'Ghi Howlblade showed up on my widescan. So I hurried up and jumped down by the refiner and killed it easy 30 mnk/ 1 rng. Then a lvl 20 War came up to me and said "Thank god you came, I've been stuck here for 30 minuets because of that NM". I just stood there and luaghed without telling him it was only lvl 12. BTW got the drop :)

silly/useless

thought i'd make my first post my silly/useless story about this dude.

so, i'm mining with my whm25/blm12 while i wait for my BLM buddy to show up to help me get a key. i accidently fall off the top of the refiner (didn't know you could do this, trying to find my way down traditionally for 2/3 was a pain) and land right on top of an NM.

/t buddy oh crap! NM, i'm gonna die
buddy : shut up and kill it you dweeb
/t buddy here goes nothing

a few min later he falls like a punk and i get a marine shield. wahoo.

I was helping some people get their keys as a War31/Nin11. I wasn't paying attention when I flew off the third floor and onto the second. And there he was.

Of course you can't gauge his strength, so fought him anyway, and got a Marine Shield =^^=

I also found 3 other NM in the Third Floor of Palborough, in the Maze. Can't remember their names though. I killed one that dropped coarse gauntlets...

And the other two...at the deadend of the maze, in the hazy room of Quadav Eggs...
I got massacred at 424 dmg =/

my frind and i camped this guy for 3 hours, we killed way more than 3 sets of copper beetles

Killed
# Jun 20 2004 at 6:38 PM Rating: Decent
I killed this guy twice today. Got the marine shield twice. Good score =)

It spawned between 20:00 and 4:00 like mentioned earlier.. each spawn was after killing 3 sets of Copper Beetles.

No one else was camping it, so it was pretty easy to take out.

My brother was farming in the mines (not too bad a place for that, by the way) when I suggested he swing by this guy's location and take a look for him. After going there and killing about a dozen copper beetles, Mr. Howlblade showed right up. Yes, he can use Mighty Strikes, but my brother's character was a Lv 24 WAR/WHM and he easily dispatched it.

The best part was he got the Marine Shield! I convinced him to sell it to me. He uses Scythes, so he didn't have much interest in it anyway.

[/Blue]I was with my fellow LS member, bored one day. so i said lets go NM hunting, he agreed and we made our way to Palborough Mines. First off we went for Zi'ghi, we found him dead.....didnt waste time then we tried Bu'ghi. We went to the area where the screenshot was which was I-7, i stayed in the area sitting down. me and my LS partner saw thousands of beetles next to us

Next we thought.....extermination time!, we wiped out all the beetles up to the 2nd floor and back down, i say about 30 beetles. My LS partner was away from the camp, i see another beetle i kill it and when i look back guess who it was Bu'ghi Howlblades!, i was level 19 at the time, it hit me for about 19 dmg seemed kinda high when i only hit it 15, (my sword sucked) my LS member came from behind and dealt 4 50 dmg hits onto bughi and he perished dropping a marine shield 3.5k and a scale gorget 3.8k good job i say

Good Timing

I decided to come here to just wander around a bit since I could safely do so now.
(I got killed here many times at lower levels.)

And when I came to this site to check the NM's and such, I saw this guy. So, I set up camp and proceded to hack beetles. About 45 minutes into my camp, it was getting close to when I had to log. SO, I was kind of mad that I wouldn't actually get to kill it. Then after my last beetle that I was going to kill. BAM! There he is.

So, I walked over, kicked him in his jewels, cast Dia, and proceeded to whomp him. I got a bit scared when he used mighty strikes, but I survived easily.

And he was nice enough to drop a marine shield for me. I will definatly come back for that gorget at a later time. :)

Me [16/Warrior] and a friend of mine [20/THF, 10/WAR] were camping him [after we had camped lizzie and gotten boots, and before we had camped Zi'Ghi Boneeater and gotten...gauntlets T_T] and killing off the Coppr Beetles,and after 3 spawns of 5 beetles he came and we decimated him :D I got the Marine Shield and I'm going to camp him again for gorget..

while helping, ppl kill the bastok dragon. I saw this guy through the gated fence......so when we reached the machine thingy, I "accidently" fell down. Got the Shield he drops.
Kinda glad, since I was the only person fighting it, my party let me have it, since they did nothing to kill it. =)

**I have killed the Windurst and Bastok Dragon several times.... have yet to kill Sandy's

Heres the deal
# Apr 24 2004 at 10:23 AM Rating: Decent
OK. Heres the deal. Ive killed this guy twice, you do not need to be much higher than 15 to do it. Go to the ore processing machine and fall off. Kill the beetle spawns, which ARE PH 3-4 times, the time between spawns is a little short of 10 minutes. He will spawn behind the machine, then just go and kill him. I have never camped him for more than 40 minutes, can't believe anyone says they have. The shield sells nice in asura, but its also really nice if your starting a new melee job. I used it til 10 with RDM.
checking for him
# Mar 18 2004 at 3:41 AM Rating: Decent
If you are on the 3rd lvl, you can stand on the grating of the refining machine and look down to see if he spawned. You can also run off the edge of the grating and drop down to the bottom for a short cut.
I waited
# Mar 15 2004 at 8:05 AM Rating: Default
It took over an hour and about 4 or 5 spawns of beatles for him to appear,It was early on the day after lightning.
y level 21 warior killed it with no prob @ all,I got a shield that i cant even get 2000gil 4.
Respawn
# Mar 08 2004 at 1:58 PM Rating: Decent
The beetles are place holders. When I wanted him to spawn, it took about 3 beetle respawns until the NM popped out. This NM is one of the least camped on Bismarck and the marine shiled runs for 5-6k.
