Contents [hide]

General Information

Lottery spawn of the Damselflies that spawn from (D-8) through (F-8) in Valkurm Dunes

PH Info from Smokesalot

The PH is the mob the prevents the NM from spawning until it is killed. In the case of the Valkurm Emperor, it is one of the Damselflies that roams about Whitesands beach in Valkurm Dunes.

What a kagillion people refuse to take into their minds is that VE has ONE placeholder, and that's it. Go to the beach with Widescan ability, and position yourself at the peak of the sandhill just northwest of the pack of trees in the middle of the beach. Pull up WS, and you'll see something like this.

Damselfly
Goblin Mugger
Goblin Leecher
Goblin Gambler

Goblin Gambler

  • Respawn time is roughly one to four hours after its last ToD.

This is a truncated list, but as you can see the PH is located in the set of four Damselflies between the leeches and the snipers, and is always the top one. These flies are always grouped in four, and are always located between the snipers and the thread leeches. When VE pops your list will look like this...

Sniper

Sniper
Damselfly
Damselfly

Valkurm
Emperor
Thread Leech
Thread Leech
Thread Leech
Thread Leech

VE always pops on the bottom of the list. If there aren't four flies in the list, that means someone else is killing them. Either nearby parties, or other campers. If this is happening, you have to figure out a way to nab yourself the PH, and be 100% sure that the fly you kill is the PH. After that, go ahead and let the other campers waste their time killing the other flies.

Valkurm Emperor Special Attacks

  • Venom - Frontal cone AoE Water based magic damage with an additional Poison effect.
  • Cursed Sphere - AoE Darkness based magic damage (Circle of effect originates from attack target)

Ok. I am a level 30 THF/ 15 NIN do you think I could kill it alone? With a Sneak Attack? I have +15 dex atm so that will help, I am sure. If you don't think I can kill it alone. Should I bring along my friend? He is also a level 30 THF/15 NIN. Thanks for your input.

it would check out to be Incredibly tough for you
my friend at level 36 checked it out as a tough.
and as a level 39 it gives me a good run for my money in the short short run.
so as a level 30 i think ur odds are that u would need at least a party of 3-4 to potentially kill him
u could use a party of 2 when u are about mebbe 36

Beat it once and you can check it out. Go hunting some NM's you noobie
RE: Level
# Feb 14 2004 at 9:50 AM Rating: Default
I just wanna clear it out that there are NMs that u can check and show their difficulty, and there are some that how many times u killed it will still con "Impossible to gauge." When you guyslook at this site's NM list all NMs that have level 0 cons imp to guage. peace

Ok. I am a level 30 THF/15 NIN (30 NIN but capped as SJ) do you think if I went alone I could take it? If I used my 2 hour? Or should I take my friend? He is also a 30 THF/15 NIN? Please help.

after 3 hours of camping the palm trees spot and watching people come and go, i was almost ready to give up and wondering if the emperor was going to show up at all, i left the pc for 5 minutes and when i came back there he was right infront of my face, very very lucky no one had saw him before i got back, as lvl 41 blm/whm the kill was easy and the fight must have lasted less than a minute, 1 fight 1 hairpin :)

I summoned ifrit and was all like im the best summoner around. Then that guy appeared and i all killed him and then i laughed and said stupid fly. I am pretty much the best summoner around. If i did get the hairpin i would throw it away. 300k ha.

dude everyone knows about the pin so i'm sure you're not the only person crying
i've killed this thing twice and he dropped a damn insect wint and wind crystal
i've seen TWO PPL kill it twice.
two drops and two no drops
right in front of my face. it's quite frankly a **** off when you don't get the fly and when u do and don't get the hairpin it's even more frustrating. it's ridiculous like totally. nonetheless i can't help but wait everytime

# Jan 16 2004 at 9:38 AM Rating: Default

My friend have been to a Japanese site. And it Stated that we muct kill the Place Holder Fly in Dunes to make the Emperor appear. Which means that only one fly in all Dunes can make the Emepror appear.

Good Luck to you all
#Anonymous, Posted: Jan 29 2004 at 2:26 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Hey Im the loser the lost the Hair pin lol....anyway you are right about the place holder..I think what you do is: in the secret beach area of (B-7) there is a "???" what you have to do is lure all the flies in the area of that "Secret Beach" to that area and kill them at the "???" and it should spwan so make sure you have a good party to do it with and a fast caster (ex. Dia Flash Provoke) so you snag the sucker before anyone else FYI its only what i heard so dont yell if it doesnt work... thanks takecare all (^_^)V

pin's worth more then leaping boots on my server and is never camped

but still, having to murder flys to get it to spawn at any kind of a decent rate is kind of ugh

*= >.< =* I was camping the monster signa in giddeus and the thing spawned three times and this japanese whm stole all three of them. he tried to be nice and give me gloves that were only worth 2k in the AH wtf! i didn't want the gloves i want you to stop being greedy! >.< and when i left to get the fly and another.......japanese whm was camping there, it sucks!!!! i can never get a camp without some greedy person taking all of the NM. I worked on my provoking skills and distracting skills!! im gonna win this war!!! this japanese guy actually called up some of his buddies to distract me :( Sometimes I wish we had our own server because a lot of americans really don't know how to camp NM like the japanese characters, they have too much experience on us!

Every time someone kills a fly in Valkrum,there is a small % chance the Emperor will spawn.

Ouch so if someone kills it and then waits and kills it again the chance it will spawn will Lower o_O

Well as a matter of fact, you've made a horrible reputation for yourself, Smurfjr. Everybody on Odin hates you. I don't see you getting much help anytime soon. Maybe you should stop training all the wights and banshee's to the zone.

as was said, hes a spawn off of a regular fly. you just have to kill all the flies in the area norht of the beach. ive hunted him 3 times. first time it took about an hour of fly killing to get, 2nd time i killd flies for about 2 and a half hours before he spawned. both times i was in competition with others, luckily i had flee/scan (thf/rng). the 3rd time i killd him i happend to log on in the area and he was waiting for me... no one else was around :D all 3 times he was in a different spot

oh, and all 3 times the pin dropped :D a total of about 3 and a half hours of hunting has got me 3 pins and about 600k to my name
