King Arthro's Spawn Location
King Arthro's Spawn Location

  • Ten Knight Crabs will spawn roughly 21 hrs 5 minutes to 24 hrs 5 minutes after King Arthro's last ToD.

    • King Arthro will spawn roughly 5-10 seconds following the death of the last Knight Crab.

  • Physical attacks have an additional Paralysis effect that cannot be dispelled.

  • Immune to Silence.

King Arthro Special Attacks

  • Poisonga II - AoE Poison effect (Circle of effect originates from spell target)

  • Drown - Single target Water based DoT with an additional Strength down effect.

  • Enwater - Melee attacks performed by King Arthro will receive an additional Water based magic damage effect (Effect can be dispelled).

Umm help
# Jun 03 2004 at 9:14 PM Rating: Decent
How do I get too him? I've walked around the lake but there are tree's and rock's blocking the way to get to area G-5. Also noticed the same problem in Batallia Downs when trying to get to Lumber Jack except in his case it was because I can't climb a wall to get to him so how do you do it?

I'd really appreciate any help I can get thanks.

rich..i got news for ya..paladins cant solo jack **** after 40 lol.. a level 55 mob to a 60 paly is either worthless or easy prey to him.. and at level 49 i have a hard time killin easy prey.. so i wouldnt be suprised about your friend gettin his *** kicked..not to mention hes a NM...NMs are always harder.. id say ud have to be at like high 60s or low 70s to solo it..im guessing..obviously i dont know from experience..but i do know soloing only gets harder the higher level you are...

Actually, PLD can solo quite well when they get higher level, due to a nice WS called Spirit Taker at 215 Staff Skill. On weaker mobs, this WS can take back pretty much enough to refill a PLD's MP completely. Not saying they could solo King Arthro, but they are nothing to be made fun of. Nice try on your guess at high level soloing, though.

why settle for 10k pants or even 600k cloth? the speed belt goes for 3 million on my server.

wow... 3 million for Haste +6% or I could get a level 48 Life Belt +10 Acc for less than 10% of that thing's price and last me until... forever. The only jobs that have "real" use for this "might" be BRD and RNG and even then thier stuff costs a lot. I'm amazed people actually buy it. @_@
The more expensive the item and fewer jobs that need it, the slower it will sell.

Why would a ranger need this? TP gain? I don't think haste increases the speed of ranged attacks, and most rangers wait between shots for a second or two anyway to avoid crossing the hate line.
As for a bard, I don't see this as ever being useful. I won't speed up song cast time, just shorten recast time. The only time I see this being an issue is with horde lullaby in BCNM, and then you want the +6 chr of a corsette +1

Ninja benefit a lot from haste items. It lowers the cast time and recast time for utsusemi, which makes it significantly easier to keep constant shadows.
RE: Drops
# Jun 27 2004 at 8:43 AM Rating: Decent
Yeah, Ninjas and Monks can benefit greatly from +Haste, for Ninjas it'll reduce casting delays for Ninjutsu and up thier attack speeds slightly, and monks love it for the increased attacks persecond.

so they want the pants that sell for 10k and not the cloth that sells for 600k

00:00 Watersday?

I also got to watch a battle with this guy and a party of high level players. The battle took forever and *EVERYONE* in the party was on the front line smacking at it (Including the Taru WHM who was participating in skillchains). Based on the 2 people who weren't anon...the party was in the low 70s.

If I were to wager a guess, I would say the spawn time for the placemakers is at 00:00 watersday. That's when the following occured:

I was fishing, and next thing I know the window was being flooded with fight information. So I go see what's going on and there are a bunch of people fighthing a bunch of "Knight Crab"(gauging at tough to my 34 WHM). Once those were dispatched, the King Arthro fight began.

Once the fight was over, the huge crowd of players that had been there for the past hour (I just thought it was a hopping fishing spot) went away and I was back to fishing all by my lonesome ;)
Wow!

I just saw an alliance of people take this thing down. It took 8 minutes! Everyone was at least level 60, so i'm fairly certain the level is wrong on the site. It must have had a hundred thousand hit points, as they were doing nonstop damage and weapon skills. The Ranger was using Sidewinder for 700, and the blm's cast fire III for 800 a pop. I've never seen anything like it, it was totally awesome to watch!

For anyone who can't figure out how to get there, you have to go through King Ranperre's Tomb.

#Anonymous, Posted: Dec 08 2003 at 4:55 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The farming for this guy is unbelievable. I stumbled out there accidently and found about 50-100 maxed level players out there waiting for this thing to spawn. It was a sight.
