Lots of times, one of the five likes to not spawn. Happened the one I camped once, and again last night to one of the others. Best way to camp this thing is in a party.
I'm skepticle of the lvl of this guy being lvl 50. I was lvl'ing bst in lufaise when I checked a sheep to charm and it was Impossible to Gauge, and immediately knew who it was and went to charm another sheep and attack it, i couldn't try and claim it before i had a pet and expect to live. I ended up killing it using 4 mobs in the area, with onlookers waiting for me to croak then seeing i wasn'g going to, started killing all other charmable mobs in area. I was lvl 37 BST. he did hit me for 100 points a hit inbetween charming mobs, but he still went down way to easy for him to be lvl 50. Sadly enough, and a bit shocking, i dind't receive and exp, which woulda have helped w/ figuring out his lvl.
Not once have I heard of nor seen Padfoot drop the ring on Ragnarok. It's weird, it seems the earring is less rare than the ring or everybody just gets super lucky and gets the earring. *shrug* I'm sure people get it but not once have I heard of it, nor have we gotten it. We claimed 4/5 yesterday and got nothing, the one we didn't get dropped the earring.. which sucked.. if someone hadn't dc'ed we could have gotten all 5 but oh well.
this is definate info on this NM..5 spawn at once..the interval is 21-24 hour spawn...so he has a 3 hour window...that means as soon as he dies record the time and count 3hours b4 that time..and he will definaly spawn within those 3hours or else u just missed him..i dont know the spawn locations..its pretty obvious where he spawns though..just look on ur map..all the larger open areas is where one spawns he is very easy to camp and claim
so 6 days 4 server crashes 4 eairly morings waking up at 6am and 5 claims i got 3 lanoni cubes 3 sheepskins assailant ring and finally got my astral earing this is a fun NM to camp, u get 5 camps after a week of campin , not that many people camp it still, and it has such a broad pop range its easy to claim. i ween through hell siting around 3hours at a tiem waiting for him to pop but it paid off. so no excuses people, just go out an camp him
Hello, Just thought I'd share some info on Padfoot. Well first off hes a 21-24 hour pop off the sheep mobs there. Doesnt seem to be a lotto so killing sheep doesnt really matter (I'd imagine he despawns after alittle cant say for sure, Who would really wait around and find out lol). 2 spawn at the same time, 1 in the first area that you enter through Valkrum and the next area after that (I will edit and put pos's in next time I log on, sorry). Its a cake walk for a 60THF/30RNG, I didnt have any problems with him. Use's basic sheep moves.. Rage, Lamb Chop, sleep Nothing too bad I evaded most of his hits, Lamb Chop did like 100 damage though but its nothing to worry about I'd say he is about Lv.50-55 mob. I dont know what the deal is with 2 poping but I'm gonna try to kill both more then once and see if the drop rate is diff. on either. Its rumored that the earring is like a 20-30% drop rate. . so far I'm 0/1 on it with TH2 (No earring or ring) seems to drop a langlion cube everytime, another person that killed it told me they got it twice. I hope this helps some of you looking to camp him. Till I find out more info, {See you again!}
Ok, I have some corrections. 5 spawn at once, I know this for a fact becasue I've claimed 3/5 with my LS and I've widescanned the other two. The spawns are fairly easy to find. Yeah he is a 21-24 hour pop and he's not lotto. The drops are kind of unknown at the moment but we've so far seen at least one always drops the earring, the ring drops a lot more often. We just got the earring last night, finally, 3 of us. One person missed his, one didn't drop, and the one I claimed droped the earring. Screenshot here btw: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Banshee0001/FFXI/padfoot.jpg Thanks and I hope the info is of some help.
I had just beaten my final Promyvion finally (was a close finish, X.x) and was in the meadows, and it was close to the last ToD window for Padfoot so my friend, who has been camping for a few days now, decided that he wanted me to help and I was fine with it. After showing me around and getting me a map, he had me mark all spawns on my map and so on, we each took a spot. We both claimed one once they spawned. As a 50rng/25thf I would have been dead alone, and of course my friend was on the opposite side of the map (I was at K-9). I shadowbind it for claim and start running to him and notice sheep linking, so I have this train of sheep and big ol' Padfoot following me. He kills his just before I get to him, by which time I'm nearly dead so.. he pulled Padfoot off me and it was done lol. The train killed me fast as soon as they caught up with me and he didn't heal me in time (67pld). I should have gotten a screenshot to send in, it was kind of funny (I was pissed at the time but now that I think about it it was kinda funny). Of course neither one dropped anything except sheepskin and a lanolin cube but it was a very interesting experience. I kited Padfoot over the entire map pretty much with a huge train with it AND we killed two. It was fun and interesting. <.<; Advice: never kite Padfoot in an area with 940248921 other sheep.
57 smn friend and I (57 war) took this on lol the thing slept the smn for the whole fight leaving me to kill it. Its really easy i beat it without any trouble.
Sirrobin check the cute mithra in the pic and you know who i am ^_^
Damn i need to go hunting this little bleater again... Getting leathercraft from 51 to level 82 has seriously crimped my gains. I spend almost 2 million on boosting crafts >_< but they are slowly repaying themselves....
Not to mention buying my VE pin and Enfeebling Torque o_O
Well as far as I know I was first to get Astral Earring drop on Phoenix Server on the day after the last major update. I went to Lufaise Meadows to wide scan for any new NMs they added at update. Just after I entered from Dunes enterance I widescaned with my 75 RNG and saw something called Padfoot, a little sheep. Pretty easy for lv 75, I did hit it with 2 slugshots, so alot of HPs but never hit me and it dropped earring. My LS friend Fitch camped the next day and got another earring. Seems to be a 21-24 pop, BUT, it seems up to 5 padfoots pop at a time, so widescan helps because he can pop in many places in area. Doesnt seem to be a lottery pop since some killed sheep for 5 hours after I got NM drop and he didnt reappear, but did pop the next day at basically 21 hours from last Time of Death, but more the one Padfoot was popped.
Also drops Assailant's Ring. Assailant's Ring is supposed to drop more commonly than Astral Earring, but Garuda AH says otherwise... about twice as many Astral Earrings than Assailant's Rings have been sold since the patch.
Don't believe this for a sec. Good try to scare people off from getting it though, that way they can attempt to control the price for awhile and keep others from camping it.
Wish more people would be honest and look to make the game more fun for all, rather than just for themselves.
the above 2 posts were in reply to someone trying to convince people you need a full alliance to defeat padfoot. Watch out for people attempting to sway you from going for your goals. If you have questions, just ask; if you see people blatantly lying like LeonXGriever and I did, CALL THEM OUT!!!
Now go kick butt and get yourself some earrings!!!!
you do know there is a HNM that does require a alliance of 18 or so that pops in lufease meadows?it is also a sheep/ram he could have posted on wron one
