Drop rate
# Nov 01 2006 at 4:50 PM Rating: Decent
All in all, I've been involved in killing over 2 dozen of these things... 5 drops in the first 6 kills, impressive. All of the skulls went to fellow party members by lotting. Not a single drop since... Is there any method to the madness, or do I just have terrible luck?

From my experience, only ghouls with scythes drop the skull.

Aggro AFTER 4!!!
# Aug 29 2004 at 4:32 AM Rating: Decent
I was in Vulkurm Dunes on Bahamut and was aggroe'd by a ghoul right before 4 I ran becazuse it should have dissappeared in a couple of seconds, but at 4:27 I stopped outside of selbina and it was still behind me and aggroe'd me. I could not believe it. Anyone else have this issue?

Aggrod mobs do not disappear.
I've fought four ghouls

I've fought four ghouls and three of them have dropped the skull. I got two. I meant to pass the second but I accidentally lotted and won it after I had my subjob, needless to say I hope I can send it to the guy that needs it, I think I will send it to him anyways just as a sorry and some gil too, that is if I can send rare stuff, I think you can though.

And Seeing how it's Rare, you can only obtain one of this item.

Yeah, you can send Rare items, but unfortunately, the Skull is a Rare EX (EX = Exclusive, which is non-tradeable). Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the skull won't be going to him.

once, i got a ghoul to drop Gravity in Gusgen Mines while helping someone to get a skull. I killed over 1000 ghouls there (probably lost count on the way) but they will in very rare occasions drop gravity

ive heard the hotaru ruins is the easiest drop place, and has highest drop rate.

I'm almost 99.9% sure only the BLM ghouls drop skulls.

Correction: Warriors do drop it, but I think Mages are a better chance

I haven't explored around in there, but Gusgen is definitely a good place for them. There's tons of ghouls there, and the drop seems a lot less rare. The quickest way (aka the way I got lucky to be in on) is to get some high level help. Some LS friends of my party leader showed up (46 THF and a 60+ PLD). They rampaged through the mines and took them about 10 minutes to get the 2 skulls we needed.

the other day, i tried helping a lvl 17 get a skull in the dunes. spent 2 game days killing ghouls and nothing. i was running short on time, so i took him to gusgen where the first ghoul killed dropped a skull.

it was probably more or less luck that the first ghoul in gusgen dropped the skull.

I think the gusgen ghouls are tougher, but I'm not sure cause it was easy prey and i killed it pretty fast.

These things are definitely aggro.

The Ghouls outside Selbina are easier than the Cave in the Konschat Highlands

Where's the best place for these guys to spawn for the support-job quest?
RE: Support-Job

I've read quite a few places that (J-9) in "Dunes" should be the best spawn place.
Not my experience though. They seem to spawn on various locations all over the map. Mostly in the Oasis areas along the edges of the map, but i've fought the on Siren beach a couple of times aswell.
Spawntime in "Dunes" Is to my knowledge between 2300 - 0500 But i've only seen them myself at 0100 - 0500, but cant say if it is true.

If you go inside the maze and look for what apear to be "huts" made of bone, the ghouls commonly spawn in those and walk out..

And I would like to make a correction, these DO agro. so if you dont want to fight one stay the heck away from it. And it also casts the spell "Bind" which means your screwed if your a mage or going alone.

The Other place to find these guys are over in the Dunes outside Selbina, but they are much harder there. You should definately party with some powerful people (lvls 17-20) to help you kill one. Make sure you got white mages too, since thier Cure spells and light spells will damage these things.

Actually the ones in the dunes are lower in levels than the ones in the Maze.

Maze WAR Ghoul- 22-26
Dunes WAR Ghoul- 18-22

The differance is that BLM Ghouls also spawn in the Dunes and you can only find Ghouls between the hours of 18:00 and 4:00 overland.
