A few hours after the Lakshmi server went back online after maintenance, I logged on. I decided to head to Sandy for some "buy from merchant, sell with mule" earnings. I stopped off in the highlands just for kicks. I went to F-8 and there were a few ppl in the area looking for Mary. I figured what the hell, and starting slaying sheep for an hour. After I got about 7 sheep teeth, I'm ready to leave. The other person that was nearest me, a lvl 46 drg/23pld (japanese) was killing sheep with me for the hour I was there. As I'm ready to give up, we're just standing there, and he bolts off to the top of the hill. He doesnt have widescan, so wtf?! By the time he gets there, Mary pops. He kills it and says "Thank You" with the auto-translator. So, as a former disbeliever in the "japanese used to have a 0.2-2 second head start on mobs, but they fixed it" rumor, I'm now a firm believer in this phenomenon. All I can say is: Shame on you Square-Enix! It's just not fair, end of story.

Another common misconception, the best way to test this is to send yourself a tell. It takes about .2 a second to come back. Therefore, they only have a .2 second advance over us. Stop crying.

Average time between spawns

Anyone have any idea, and willing to share that info? I just want to know if I should expect more than a few hours between spawns, or if I am just probably missing the pops. thanks,
Got the Horn Today!

Bit of a story with this, happened today and still very happy.

I was in La Theine Plateau camping the NM ram for the Silence of the Rams quest. had lv 42 pld and lv 1 rng as my jobs. (Rng was for widescan if you couldn't guess heh) Anyway, after a bit I decided to leave, cause I was a bit bored there, and head to the highlands to maybe see if Stray Mary was around.

I got there and got to the middle of the area where she spawns and used widescan. I think it was the second time I used it when I spotted her not far from where I was. I put on Track and headed off towards her. Saw a high lv closeby so though for sure she was taken. I see her appear and she is not claimed yet, cast flash and she was mine.

During the fight, all I keep seeing is that high lv closeby doing /cry over and over cause she was right beside her and didn't even see her yet.

Anyway, battle ended and I got Mary's Horn and Mary's Milk. I was very happy at this point, so told this person I got it, she replied with a congrats and was nice about it, so I decided to give her the milk I got from Mary. What's 4k compared to 150k heh. Anyway, headed off to Jeuno to sell it. I am so glad I decided to give up waiting for that ram.

I've killed her twice now, at F-9 and G-9, well outside this listed area. Still no sign of the Horn yet. Just milk.

Seen her once in G-5 on my way to level in the Dunes (lvl 12 or so)... had no clue what she was, just thought 'Oh, look, that sheep has a different name!' lol Would kill for Mary's Horn now.

I somehow managed to catch Stray Mary five times over a three day period two weeks ago. The one time she dropped Mary's Horn was when I was with a friend. Other than that I made a good 25-30k selling the milk at the San D'Oria AH.

At least two of the times I've killed her she has been at F-9, so yeah, she's all over listed the spawn area and beyond.

I've been farming sheep in Konchstat (spelling?) ever since hoping to reclaim my proper title, Mary's Guide, but to no avail. Even with Widescan, this mob simply isn't popping much lately (/cry).
Spawn area...

I also got mary at F-9... pretty close to the center. I was out farming up some sheep skins to make sheep wool (into wool thread) and sheep leather. Only dropped milk... but I just wanted to point out that the spawn area on the map does not seem to be entirely correct.

That's all. :P
mmmm

I for one am tired of people saying this over and over and over and over. TH1 and TH2 both effect ALL drops rare ex other other-wise. It was stated by SE in a developers interview almost 6 months ago yet ppl still say it doesn't work on NM drops, or rare drops, or this drop etc.

It does, no matter what others tell you it does.

Ok so I have knocked her off twice. First time I was a lvl 25 RDM/12 BLM. I was acutally camping her as I wanted some major cash. When she finally spawned I went for it. I was only at about half MP or less though, and she almost took me out. I didnt want to rest to full and then buff up cause I feared someone else would snag her. I only got the milk this time. The second time I wasnt even camping her. I was riding through on my chocobo and BOOM i see her. I jump off my bird and kill her easily as a 30rdm/15blm. This time I got the horn and the milk. Easy 140k!!!! WOOT now I have dispell and many other spells and armors cause of her. I love this sheep.

It seems that every time I decide to camp her I am always alone, which is definately a good thing, but I never seem to find either >.<
I do constant laps around the area shown in the map yet I don't see her, anyone ever seen her elsewhere?

I tend to spend a couple hours a day camping her. My bard would really love her horn. So far I have only gotten her once...until last night. My LS and I were finishing up the ninja flag quest, and decided to run back through highlands to go to Bastok. It seemed odd taht there was a lack of players camping her. After a couple minutes of running through the area we see her standing on top of the hill in G-8. No one else in sight..we proceed to hop off chocos and destroy her. 1 selbina milk, 1 mary's milk, and 1 mary's horn!!! Finally! Now I know lots of people would jsut hurry to Jeuno to sell for an easy 100-120k, but you will not see me do that if you are on teh Bahamut server. All you will see is one happy bard putting the lullaby boost to good use.
Killed it, once

0-1 Stray Mary

Dropped "Mary's Milk."

There were always a couple people camping it.

To make it easier, I suggest training a buncha sheeps due to the wide area of spawn.

Camped her for a good 3-4 hours.

they're complaining about getting milk bacause it Is a garunteed drop. Its rare drop is marys horn, a BRD instrument that can sell for 100k+ on some servers.
heh
# Aug 07 2004 at 1:49 AM Rating: Decent
Well, when I was a lower level, maybe 18 I believe. I was running through Konschtat, when all of a sudden I see this NM. Provided, Id never heard of it before, so I ask my LS friends about it. One of them gets really excited, saying that it drops a really good item, and he gets a teleport-dem and runs towards me. He killed it pretty easily, but no drop, just mary's milk
Yeah i give
# Aug 06 2004 at 9:14 PM Rating: Decent
This frigging thing doesnt spawn
at all i camped for 4hours 4 FRIGGIN HOURS. and when i say camped i mean killing every sheep in sight and still no spawn. If you do not have widescan you shouldnt camp her. If you are below lvl 20 i wouldnt recamend fighting her and if you are pressed for time DO NOT CAMP HER!!! it will take a bit... well for me it is. Im goign back 2 rams
This thing is evil
# Aug 06 2004 at 9:06 PM Rating: Decent
so im sitting at F-8 making sheep trains and what not camping her. after about 1hr i see a PLD who has very little Hp left and is on lvl 23 so i guess she killed her. So im still there w8ting dilligently and about 2 or 3 hours pass
still no spawn. This is a load of BS cause i have been hunting this thing for god knows how long now and i still can find it. I think it just flat out doesnt like me -_-;
Finally..

I've been camping Mary for a week or two. Each day for an hour or two, and I would Dia every sheep I saw and train them around the zone.

First time I got her, I was just running up the hill of G-7 [I think. I'll post the exact, but I have to look at my map. I marked it] and she was.. Well, she was just there. I flipped out and pressed my Flash macro and got her.

She went down easily, but then again, I'm a 47WHM, and that's about 27 levels higher than this one. :P I killed her, but only got Selbina and Mary's milk. This was my second NM I've killed [Found Big Mouth Billy at random times going to Rangumont pass] and I was excited.. I warped out without obtaining the items [Full inventory from chaining them sheep. Usually I clear it out, but I forgot].

I wanted her horn. The price has been rising pretty stedily on Kujata, and a few days earlier it was a 160k at Jeuno AH. >_< I'd been saving for my Dark Staff, so that would be a nice help [Hehe I'm only 47 but I want it NOW ^^]

I camped her ONCE AGAIN. Trained sheep, and then got bored. I sat at where she spawned for 30 minutes and she popped right infront of me. Flash macro, grab, kill.

/panic

She dropped her horn! [That and Mary's Milk] Second kill, too. I was so excited, I made sure I obtained the item and stood there for like 5 minutes just panicking. o_o

The horn currently sells for 190k on Kujata server in Lower Jeuno.
um this is for democratic
# Aug 03 2004 at 1:30 PM Rating: Decent
just a question um democratic how do you think she is the worst nm if you got the horn first try doesnt make too much sense??
Got my Horn

Camped her twice. The first time it took me a hour of killing every sheep I saw. I only got milk. Yesterday took my wife and I 2 1/2 hrs til she spawned. Now, I finally have my Horn for BCNM40. Both times she was at G-7.
First time

I found my first Stray Mary at F-9...I would have missed her, but luckily, I had previously saved a level 10 WAR from a wasp, and had asked him to tell me if he saw her around...low and behold, he found her for me...Only got a skin and milk though -_-"
Now this is funny
# Jul 27 2004 at 5:04 PM Rating: Decent
I was in Konstatch hunting rams and lightning elementals. i went over to kill a ram and i was bored so i got aggression and just set my char on walk and paraded around a bit. after about 400 of my hp was gone i decided to kill it. so after doing that i run over and start healing. about 100 hp heals and i see a sheep spawn right next to me. out of habit i put my cursor on it and to my surprise i see "Stray Mary." im like !? and pop up and lay an arrow into her. after 2 more shots she was pronounced "Dead Mary" but all i got was meat and milk.
