I decided to help a friend get this ring 2 weeks ago since he has had rotten luck on the astral. 14BLU/7SMN (me) and 12 BLU/6 war, first trade we spawn it. Pretty decent battle, we were both below 40 HP by the end of the battle and he got his ring. I may just try to get it just to add another item to my NM collection.
Mycophile Cuffs, Nikkariaoe, Gassan, Bee stinger, Katayama Ichimonji, Bomb Ring, Rogetsurin, Tortoise Shield, Shamans Belt, Bloodbead Amulet, Gelong Staff, Clipeus, Mist Silk Cape, Entrancing Ribbon, and the Dodo Skin.
Soon to be the Carect Ring, Rabbit Charm, Bounding boots, Empress Hairpin, and the Fasting Ring.

I don't know if he pops after X numbers of water.. or maybe under certain conditions.. but here's my pop:
Earthsday, 3:10, Windy weather
Traded water for the past 2 weeks, about 1-2 times a day, never got it to pop until tonight.

just walloped this guy. traded waters for the past few real days, never getting to wait for him to pop.
today, traded one water, he pops. 36bst/17whm, he was too easy.

somepage lists the recommended solo level for this NM to be around level 25, but for those curious, it can actually be soloed quite easily by a level 20 RDM. I wanted this ring for my mithran alt, but her highest level is a 20 RDM/WHM with woefully undercapped elemental magic (I've stopped leveling her until I get BLM at the same level to keep it capped). I wasn't sure what it would take, and I didn't want to take any chances, so I took:
1 steamed crab
3 hi ethers
2 hi potions
2 yagudo drinks
My idea was to outlast the NM if I couldn't do any quick damage. Turns out I was overestimating its difficulty. The hardest part was getting it to pop (had to trade 15 waters). When he finally did pop, I had on protect, aquaveil, and popped a steamed crab and yagudo drink. With my defense at 123 his hits ranged from 5-12, used Cure II once, and it was down before I had to reenfeeble.
So 25 is a good level to go by, but some jobs can do it earlier. For the curious who lack high level jobs and want this ring for leveling.

If you get a pop could you post what time? I want to know if there's a certain day I need to trade or something cause this has taken >7 waters and still no pop.
um.....what level could a BLM beat this?
Well like I said in my post I beat him at 25 but with better preparation (maybe macro in a Hermit's Wand and one of those Obi-belts for spellinterruption) you should take him as 24 maybe even 23.
lol ok thanks ^^ my BLM is finally 30 ^^

I have been camping this thing for weeks!!!!! when i'm on, i have been trading distilled water every 20 hours, farming crawlers in between, i have done NOTHING reallg productive at all in this period and was about to give up and go level.
I'm sure that while i have been sleeping, someone has come along and wasted all those distilled waters that i have given the plant, and popped yawhoo.
Well this morning, before i was gonna go to school, i figured that since maintainence was happening soon, i might as well use up my last distilled water. I didn't expect anything to happen. THEN 6 minutes before the initiation of the scheduled maintainence, HE pops. I am turned away and about to log then i noticed "A foul creature has appeared" or something like that.
As a level 23 Hume WHM, not with full mp, and only buff left over from last i logged (luckily protect, and blink). It was terrible, i didn't know if i would beat the damn thing in time. I had waited so long. and the damn thing wouldn't pop until now. I got my fasting ring, didn't try it out yet though, I logged after winning JUST in time.

I have been looking for this guy ever since they put him in the game; not actively but whenever I passed by I traded a flask of water.
I would have been owned if he poped one of those first times since I was BLM 18; but I thought that maybe, maybe with the right buffs and combination of spells...
At BLM level 25 (sub RDM 12) I absentmindedly dropped a flask here on my way north and he poped.
I was so surprised that I totally forgot "my plan", I didn't even have protect on, and just blasted away.
It wasn't going to good and I got interrupted to many times so in the end I just whacked him desperately with my "Gelong Staff".
Lucky for me that staff is quite effective for whacking and since I had used it a lot at lower levels (before my spells started to do some good damage) my staff skill was good.
I beat him with 15 HP left...

I found out about this ring yesterday and decided to try it out. It took me 10 trades of distilled water every 50 minutes real time. Got the Fasting Ring for RDM, which is at 15 right now. My brother says this ring is lame... O.o but that's probably because he's a taru. :P I'm very excited about this ring.
Got this guy last night after camping for four hours. Competition came and went, but I just hung there for four hours trying to trade water till it popped. I was able to feed about every 50-60 minutes. It took me five distilled waters before it popped.
I killed it as a 24WAR/12MNK. I opened with Sturmwind at 300TP then used Mighty Strikes. I may have been able to take it without all that, but figured better safe than sorry. It hit me four times: 9, 10, Sprout Spin for 20, and one last time for 4. So I took 43 damage total. I hit it for a combined 1015. I got 15 exp for the kill, as well as the Fasting Ring and an earth crystal.
I would say there's no set spawn time for this. The feeding time's beginning seems to be a cycle dependent on the last time it was spawned (much like doing gardening in your MH, in which case it will ask you for the next crystal depending on when you fed it the last one), so it's going to vary, and the number of distilled waters it accepts before it spawns seems to be quite random. To spawn this thing, you pretty much have to hang around for hours feeding it waters hoping the next one does the trick. On the plus side, the drop seems to be 100%, so at least you're getting something for your efforts.

lol my post was too long...
that is a list of the quasi new NMs that are from the n00b zones, 3 main krags and 3 dungeons.. all under lvl 25.. all 100% drop.. the noob zone ones under 2hr spawn.. others simple things to do to spawn them... this is a good list of "Intro to NM Hunting" Enjoy ^^
odds are if you dont see the noob zone nms.. someone else got it..
**btw it takes roughly 3-8 waters to spawn this ****... though it took me 9... so make sure you bring a whole stack with you when you try to spawn him.. the ??? takes 1 water every real-life 50 mins.. it doesnt matter what time of day it is.. as long as it has been over 50 real-life minutes since his last water. He was a nothing fight for me as 40rdm/20nin.

-20 HP
+10 MP

Could a 61war/nin solo this thing? Might be a stupid question but im not framilliar with the stuff in the Windy area
I creamed it as a 36 rdm/nin, so you sould have no problem at all. If you do, I will laugh at umtil my eyes tear up.
Ya I finally killed it took me 10 waters before it popped. These times aren't accurate but they are a bit rounded out.
7:00
4:00
1:00
22:00
19:00
16:00
13:00
10:00
9:30 (was trying to get Dash Sash so late)
6:25 w00t! Finally got it!
On the last try a Rdm showed up and was constantly trying to trade to the ???. I wasn't gonna lose this after 9 previous consecutive attempts. I had the time advantage, but took it a step further making a [/item "Distilled Water"] macro and spammed that at about the time I knew it was due. Thank god I got it I never want to do this again. ><
Also was darksday when it popped, earth element I think... moon cycle was at 36-37%. I don't know if that effects it but keep in mind.

Just got this to pop on my 6th consecutive trade. I took note of the Vana'diel time each time I traded and the minimum game time I could trade the water in was very near to 20 hours 53 minutes, or close to 21 hours.
Trade times:
23:20
20:30
17:25
14:17
11:10
08:05 Earthsday, wind weather I think (might matter)
Pop on last one, did 1008 damage, took 25 (40WAR/RNG). Last hit was 138, so it has between 870 and 1008 HP. Got drop (duh, prior posts have concluded that it's 100%).
I'm no gardener and could care less, but isn't the normal time to water plants just after the sun comes up? Maybe it would help the pop rate to trade the water between...oh...06:00 and 09:00? (That is just a wild thought, but SE does do some things like that to us.)

The Yaramayawho is an Australian vampire that hides in fig trees, dropping down to attack passersby, making the victim more and more like a yaramayawho each time they're fed upon. It's described as being a little pot-bellied, red skinned man, but I guess I can see why they chose a sapling model for it.
I was asking some one about the ??? and once I found out what it was I traded it some water, when of to farm for clusters and came back and traded the water again and it poped up. and at lvl 30rdm/15thf there was a lot of misses flying around as it tryed to hit me.
I just kept at it with my sword and killed it with out a scratch on me, also got the fasting ring too.

I'm not sure what the trick is to spawning this, but I traded 15 distilled waters over the course of a couple days and got a whole lotta nothin' to show for it. Is there a certain day/time to trade it? My last 5 trades were done consecutively, and I never left the zone, never logged off during those 5 trades.
