Stroper Chyme Picture

History of Stroper Chyme

Stroper Chyme was once one of the most heavily camped monsters in the game, back when it used to drop Archer's ring, an item used to make Sniper's ring. However, in July 2005 -- in an effort to thwart the profits of RMT -- SE changed Stroper Chyme so that the monster no longer dropped the Archer's ring. Information on that update, which affected other notorious monsters and items, can be viewed at July 19, 2005 Update Notes.

Stroper now drops the Shikaree ring, ex duplicate of the Archer's ring that cannot be used in recipes.

Stroper can also be found at G-9 and H-10.

Welp last this weekend me (Valcor) and Domon decided to camp this guy. I went as a 41rng/nin and domon as a 46rdm/war and our friend Nemisis idled his char with Blm/Thf for us so we have th1. Well anyways. We were all lanning and Nem and Noko went to sleep. Noko didn't come. So me n domon we're up havin fun killin this thing. On our 7th claim/kill we noticed it dropped the ring! And we didn't even ahve th2! Woo!! I got a pic of the drop with my cell phone but i dont have a place to post it. Will try and find one and add a link here asap. Gl all! This guy is fun 12 minute spawn and the constant adrenaline rush of will it drop or not. So 1/7 for the Stroper Chyme Sounds good to me! ^_^ .

Is 11 min 50 sec equal to 5 hours game time? If it is then this is correct. The spawn on stroper is almost exactly 5 hours game time..(This is when the gilsellers use flee/hide) unless it pops late but never over 30 seconds longer and never before 5 game hours.
Level Needed...

I logged off near one of the spawning points for this thing after chest hunting and I'm curious if I could take it on. My job is 40thf/20war at the moment. I know jellies are rough... but do you think I have a chance to kill it? Mind as well give it a shot since I'm there. I only saw one person standing by the spawning point, I think I could claim it.

the gilsellers on Kujata are always here. god damn Lixia tribe.... so many monoplizing gil selling companies everywhere and anywhere. im able to beat them to stropperchyme 40%-50% of the time solo with them having a party of 3 just in the 1/5 spawns im camping. so i call in some freinds and beat them even more when they call in more thfs. so anyways. moral of the story. gil selllers arn't hard to beat to claiming so dont worry about them. my buddy Daleven even beats them 90-100% of the time on Leaping Lizzy... but daleven is a leaping ***** so it doesnt matter... hes like 13/70+ on lizzy. but anywas. if your on kujata and feel like hunting this with me sometime after i get thf to 45. let me know. 55war's just dont get enough TH with thf subbed lol. names Trice
Easy kill, tough drop

The 24/7 campers keep a timer on him. It is easy to do. The second he dies start the timer. at about 11 minutes, 50 seconds I hit my Flee macro and just start running around with my Voke macro ready. When he pops, I just target him and spam Voke as I run towrds him. Sometimes he pops closer to the other campers, sometimes closer to me.

It seems like I was able to claim him about 50% of the time. There are usually only 1 or 2 other people that are competitive, and then 1 or 2 people that seem to never get the claim (I guess they dont understand its on a timer).

The gil sellers there are fairly civil to me. They tend to just kill it and wati for next spawn.

Kind of funny, one guy decided to run him around, so I followed. Well he made the loop where he dropped of the ledge, ran all the way around, up the stairs and back the the drop-down hole. Well he stood there for a second laughing at me for following him around... then he dropped down the hole. The problem is Stoper Chyme did not follow him! lol. The SC turned around and started backtracking around, down the stairs, etc. The whole time he remain claimed..I was like wtf!? How can he be claimed still so far away?? Anyway, I followed him into the hall before you get to the big room and he came to a stop and Turned yellow (unclaimed). I voked and killed. Funny stuff.

So I killed him about 19-20 times yesterday with no drop. So much for Treausure Hunter II.

/sigh

I was debating on starting a LS that goes to farm Nm type monsters in zones where gil sellers r prominent.
Im from quetz server and I am looking for true players, Who are interested in making gil while trying to shut down gil sellers companies...

This is just a though that i had over the last few days, if people r interested and or have any ideas on how i should recruit feel free to drop me a line in ffxi my name is criminalz..

<My LS will have planned events where we will go dominate for the evening , weekend etc... till they get the point>

well i have became a regular down in ordello's when im bored
i have gotten the drop 4 times now 2 times in pty of 2 and 2 times solo...
gil sellers on quetz server r useless...
i beat em to the punch 95% of the time, and they dont like that. one tried to mpk me last night with a gob but i laughed my *** off at him, and one of the gil sellers in that pty is actually lvln thf in valkrum dunes lmao.. i told the seller that tried to mpk me he was a waste of character and he actually left the zone for the night...
funniest thing is that the seller who is lvln thf in valkrum has a whm as sub <thf/whm> and was on seek for bout 5 hours with no pty. roflmao

This thing isn't all that hard to claim. I've been doin the brown belt qst. and was on my way to kill Morbolger. While I was waiting I figured I should try and get Stroper Chyme. I've been down there for about 2 days and I've claimed it 7 times. No drop, but still it's fun beatin the gilsellers to it lol.

On my server(Seraph), there's 2 gilsellers in the large room. One's a THF/WAR, the other is a PLD/WAR. I found out that this will spawn around every 10-12 minutes. I figured out that the THF will use Flee and Hide 10 mins after the death of the mob. LOL there's my que. On top of that, the THF D/C's about every 10-20 mins. Stupid gilsellers.

Man, if I can just get a few more people down there.

Ok, first of all, I'm 5/78 on this chyme, yes I know I've been very lucky, but that's not the point that I'm making. I camped this thing for about 10 hours right after the world shift to Hades server. The gil sellers came toward the end and we kicked thier @$$e$ in claims because we were a large group. One person has no chance against those mfers, but every server has to get together an alliance of players determined to get rid of the gil sellers. Just **** them off, they do stupid things when pissed off, they try to MPK you and then you have them. You can report them to a GM and get them gone from our lives forever. It is time for us to take back this game from corporations exploiting it for money. Corporations ruin fun for everyone, start a player's revolution. VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!

Edit: I thought I killed 65 of these things but then looked at my sig which told me I've killed 13 more than I thought I did.

So I get tired of XPing one night and decide to go hunt something for some money. Buddy of mine recommended Stroper Chyme and I never hunted it before, so I head on over there and I didn't think it was bad...at first. Soon as I got there, claimed it once, no drop. 5 min later I run into a pack of hungry gil sellers all monopolizing the area. I knew some of them were some sort of Packet-sniffing voke bot program cuz I would follow the PLD/THF straight to the mob w/ no one else around it; otherwise they had someone in the party with scan telling everyone but I'd doubt it. All his buddies would soon follow all with the same action and follow the same trail. 10 feet away from the mob they all fleed to it for some reason, sleep it, refresh, regen, then wait. What really pissed me off was they were trying to take hate away from me when I claimed it once by spamming Cure IIIs even at full health, so I had to keep voking it to keep it. What Haamboner totally made sense cuz I was wondering why they were just standing there not hitting it when I was around. On the next claim they held it way too damn long. After 20 min of holding the ******* I reported them to a GM, who popped up and gave them a 5 min warning to kill it. Then I asked the group if they were bots and one guy asked me "You china?" I was being an ******* with him cuz he pissed me off and he even had the gal to ask me to party with him and even said "You sillergil ^^" when I told him off. The rest of the party didn't respond to anything and were too robotic with what they were doing so I'm guessing the guy I was talking to was watching over the bots cuz they're all his. I might have to find something else to camp cuz people tell me these guys get reported all the time </sigh>

Here's photos of the GM and gil selling bastards on Titan. Remember Cklri, Tuskedg, and the rest of their cohorts. Sorry for my resolution, I had my settings low for provoking and lowering lag.

Killed the jelly no drop ,but i saw 1 group of chinese people /i do understand chinese.... like lvl 50-70 keep sleeping 'em and provoking it ,but don't kill it.... watch 'em for awhile is that help the drop rate on the ring?
RE: /give up
# Mar 26 2005 at 12:34 AM Rating: Decent
no, they were doing that so you would leave. a new mob wont pop until the last one was killed. so by them sleeping/voking, they were stopping the mob from spawning, causing everyone to leave. once everyone left they kill the mobs(s) and continue their business
