Stubborn Dredvodd Picture

Spawns on boat ride from South Landing to North Landing. When the barge screen loads and can control your character, if you see a large shadow blink behind you, he will spawn.

As stated before he drops the Gargoyle Boots and since i'm a DRG I could really use those boots. I just need to know what level the mob is so I know if I need to bring back up of can solo it.

From my experiences, he is NOT a 21-24hr spawn, though it's still possible that he is. I've never seen him, but I have a theory.. Has anyone seen him without getting agroed? Almost every person on this forum has said he agroed them.. Mystery Tour says "Appearance: Jump from the outside," and a couple other people have said "jumps onto the boat.." Does he actually spawn like a normal mob on the boat, or does he literally "jump" onto it? Maybe he spawns on the shoreline out of sight, and jumps aboard when there's someone he can agro to? The other thing that makes this believable is how people say he only spawns at a certain point on the ride.. I'm kinda trying to test the theory, but not putting much more time into this guy.. If anyone else tests it and gets results, please post your info. (By testing, I mean /healing or something, so he can actually agro you during the ride)

Keep in mind, there was a couple update patchs recently, which may have messed up his spawn time. Anyway, to answer your theories, the first time I ever saw him, I was resting on the ledge area when you zone on the barge. Meaning, I got onto the barge in Carp's Landing and didn't move when the zone happened. I was the only one on the boat and he aggro'ed me, he spawned behind me cuz I saw the entire rest of the boat from my angle. I'm a 75 whm as well. The second time, I was standing by the NPC who tells you how much time is left for the ride. There's was another person the boat, something in their 50's. The orc spawned but didn't aggro either of us, he just ran around for a moment until I flash'ed him. I saw the spawn this time around, which wasn't in the same spot I first met him and he appeared out of air like any other mob that spawns. Both my experiences were from South to North Landing. Hope that helps your ideas.
SMN 46?

Do any of you think a lvl 46 smn could fight this thing? I dont anything about the ring but imagining seeing an orc use Call Wyvern sounds pretty cool! lol. Well please respond. Thank you! ^^

While looking up some food chart on cannotlinkto, I got bored and looked up Stubborn and found they had updated his spawn time and his level range. Due to prior posts below here, I dunno how correct it is. They state he is on 21-24 hour spawn time and his level range is 37-38, appears only from South to North Landing. Here is link http://ffxi.cannotlinkto/mobdb/3308 (Credit given to ffxisomepage)

I was wandering around sandy..bored..decided to go to Carpenters Landing..as i've never been >.>

I get on the barge and it takes me to central..i wander around for a bit..lost..until i finally find the barge. I get on and it takes me to south..i immediatly get back on and head for north.

I go to sit at the head of the barge..to watch in awe at the scenery. there was only me (WAR50/NIN25) and a high lvl whm on at the time. All of a sudden, something atches the NPC's line..i get up and immediatly cast Utsesumi!! O.O

...nothing happens..

I return to sit..when a pugil pops..i kill it..then go back to sit one more time and this big orc jumps on deck and attacks me!!! zomg w/e shall i do?...i engage..the Orc then casts stoneskin and uses Call Wyvern (_ _;) (in trouble now , eh? :P)

I'm guessing the whm was camping it as he warped as i claimed it..i didn't have any trouble with it at all..slaughtering pretty quickly..i got the Tathlum Belt only..nothin special but still kinda cool claiming an NM you had no idea was there :P

spawn time
# Jul 05 2005 at 4:38 PM Rating: Good
Daleven is right.
The spawn time is NOT 21-24 hr.
I bumped into it while camping the doomed
one day. After 14 hrs, i came back and then
camped all the way up to 28 hrs again. NO POP.
Btw, I didn't miss any single ride.

Edit: 32 hrs now. Guess this thing pops randomly. Again I didn't miss any single ride.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure me not being there is a condition for the spawn as well. I hardly believe the ******* exists after the countless hours I've spent on Phanauet Channel. I know his ring exists. Saw it on a WHM75 for the first time yesterday. Grr.. I want.

I did get the ring when i bumped into it the first time.

I hear ya...

One of my best friends in-game got the Carect Ring just under a month ago - when he told me about it I researched this and have been camping it on-and-off since...

Almost 1 month now, haven't even seen him once...Gah!

Ok so I was hunting Vodynoi on this boat and the orc popped. Its recorded that he is level 65 so at first I panicked. He aggroed so I decided it was fight or die. He went down like nothing and I was 62DRG/WAR. Only thing I got was the Tathlum belt. However, in my experiences, he is a 21-24 hour spawn, and he tends to shoot for the latter one.

P.S. I'd give this guy a mark at level 55 tops. TOPS

Can a 62drg/rdm solo this guy?

I need those boots!!!

Edit: Forget it, I've been camping this thing for over a week and still havent seen him.

What kind of a joke are you trying pull SE? You finally give us DRGs a usefull peice if JSE and you wave it out of reach like a steak to starving dog. You people are sick.

Ok, so I lied. I'm back at it again.

Today I camped (and still camping) this guy for 20+ hours nonstop. (only getting up for food and bathroom break when i can stay in one area or on a long boat ride.)

Still haven't seen this guy yet. What's really weird is that the weather has been nice the entire time. At most it was foggy. No rain, no thunder.

I'll keep you guys posted. I'm not going to bed till I get this guy. (bring on the coffee!)
must.. kill.. orc..

I hate this fugger. It's easier to see Argus or Leech King than it is to see this guy. I'm determined to kill the *******.

If you're from Kujata and you want him too, watch this post. I'll update when I get a spawn time, and let you know when he'll spawn next, so you don't have to waste a lifetime camping him like I have. :P

If anyone else gets a spawn time and gets the drop they want, it would be cool if you posted the time he spawned to help others out, since you're done camping him anyway. ;)

EDIT: Ok, still at it off and on.. I actually got a spawn time last night, but it was 5 days old.. 2:30am EST, so today, spawn window from what I knew with the 6-day-old ToD was 8:30am (today) - 2:30am (tomorrow). Wow, that helps a lot.. :P I camped from 1:00pm-8:30pm today, so...

Tomorrow, there are 2 possible windows from what I know:
5:30am-12:30pm OR 6:30pm-2:30am (the next day) @.@

I'm gonna go camp the 12:00 and 1:00 ships right now, and I doubt it's spawned at exactly 24hrs 6 days straight, so I should be able to cut a couple more possibile hours off the second window.. Wish me luck. x.X

EDIT2: A japanese player (special thanks to her; Duruduru) camps Dredvodd off and on and we share info. She's a crazy ******* too. Camped 15 hours straight, ending when I showed up thismorning at 10:00am EST. I camped until 12:30am and didn't see him.. Unless Duruduru missed a ride (I asked, but we only half understand each-other.. If she understood the question, she didn't miss any rides.), this guy is NOT a 21-24hr spawn.. ><

Put together, we camped an entire 24-hour stretch and there was no spawn. That sucks.. That sucks bad.

Well, I got this guy last night on Ragnarok. He was pretty easy for me to solo (RDM68/BLM34). I was actually on the boat trying to get Vodyanoi, but this guy hopped onto the boat and started yelling his "O-o-o... Orc!" chant. Didn't have to worry about claiming, as I was the only one on the boat, and he attacked me while I was taking a screenshot. I must have gotten lucky, because I got a Tathlum Belt (Rare/Ex), Carect Ring, and Gargoyle Boots. Not a bad evening.

Oh... I thought I'd also add that, like others have mentioned, I was headed north up the main channel toward the North Landing. He hopped onto the boat before the guide gave the message about "two currents meet at this spot here". Hope that helps anyone trying to camp him.

i just claimed him, got the Belt and ring.
it was thunder weather, but i don't know about your guy's theory on 21-24 hr.

i just rode the boat to North Landing, was fishing, and he attacked me >_>

It's recorded that Stubborn only appears on the ride from South to North, that's it. I'm still sticking by my 21-24 hour spawn time, only because I have camped him during those times. Since ride from South to North only comes once an hour, you can take naps inbetween while waiting ^^. I have gotten him twice as I stated before (once at 3am, the next night at 1am), but I do not recall if there was any weather effects. I do know that he has only appeared after the NPC has "caught something on his line", but before the NPC talks again during the ride. I'll probably be camping him shortly, after I'm done lvl'ing up smn, hopefully with more info for everyone ^^.

Possible Spawn Time
# May 06 2005 at 1:49 AM Rating: Good
I'm just guessing here, but I believe this NM is on a 21-24 spawn time. I camped him for hours on end, one night happen to stay up and got him 3am. Got an idea of 21-24 hour spawn time and tried again, he spawned at 1am the next night. No drop other than belt yet, and the last update patch kinda screwed my theory, but if you manage to find him, try to camp within 21-24 hour from death. Once again, I'm not 100% on this, but it's the best I've come up with to *seemed* to work. And please don't rate down my guess either ^^

Highly possible..

I've camped on the boat for 3days now, not completely, but in various hours to atleast cover a good 20hr window.

Another idea is that he might only spawn during rain weather.
If I recall correctly, thunder and rain weather can occur in Carpenters' Landing/Phanaut Channel, seemingly thunder is somewhat common, but during all my time there, rain has been just as common as the NM; Non-existant.
Just an idea.

Bleah, this NM sucks...

I've camped this one and the Doomed one for 2days now, not continuesly since I've needed sleep and accidentally forgot buy ticket once...

I've catched the undead one twice, I would guess it has a respawn time of about 4-6hr's, altho I'm not sure.

As for this orc... I haven't seen it at all, I've been on the boat for a total of 10hours now, sure it maybe was killed somewhere in between when I was not there, but.. BLEAH, thats way to long respawn ._.

I was riding the boat and actually had this guy pop behind me. Good thing a high-level DRK was there, though I'm not sure if he was camping this NM lol

The DRK had full-AF and killed this ****, though it took a minute so I don't recommend going after him below lv 65 and ready to fight.

He popped somwhere between 6-8 AM EST, by the way, in case that helps.

This NM is a pest, I once spent over 22hrs camping him without seeing him spawn, for you see he drops another another item not mentioned by Alla besides the Tanthlum belt: The Gargoyle Boots. These are VERY useful for dragoons such as myself, and they're rare/ex. It was spring break at the time, I found out about this NM around 11pm, logged back onto FFXI, and got on the boat around midnight.... where I camped the thing until I obviously fainted from exhaustion around 10pm the next day (didn't drink enough soda). I seriously hope SE fixed this little annoyance with the NM, or a lot of people are gonna be really annoyed now that they gave other people a reason to kill him.
