I was planning to exp in Boyahda tree when i used wide scan to see if there are any Gobbue Gardeners around. At the outpost, used wide scan, no gobbues. when i was near the zone to the Tree i used wide scan and saw 1 Gobbue Gardener in a hidden area around (K-8) or 9 so i went there to kill the gobbue. After i killed it i used WScan to see if there are some more in the area. i saw another gobbue a little bit to the NW where i killed the last 1. so i went there and killed it. used Wscan and saw "Keeper of Halidom". Tracked it and ran to him. i did /sea area to see how many people in Zitah, there were 7 including me so i was hoping that i'll get the claim.

When i reached its pop spot, I saw Keeper standing there unclaimed so i called my pet tiger and sent it to Keeper. i was thinking of joining the fight but my pet was taking around 100+ damage each blow while he only do 50-70 damage to the Keeper. So I tried to stay still and watch my tiger dies.

My first pet died. Keeper's HP around 80%. So I charm-fight every leeches and flies in that area until Keeper's HP is around 20-25%. At this point there were only 2 monsters there, Keeper and another Gobbue so I called CourrierCarrie and send her to Kepper. I joined the fight after CC hits Keeper 4 times and finished Keeper of with Rampage. Took me about 10 minutes lol

Reward:
Water Crystal
Boyahda Moss
Tree Cuttings

no GK tho ; ;

but it was a fun fight XD


>{lukey}<
Tougher than the Gobbues XD

Farmed his placeholders yesterday (RDM65/BLM). After about 1,5 hours he suddenly pop'd. I went crazy cause i didnt expect the pop. So i claimed him without being fully ready. I had about 75% HP and was Paralyzed from a previous fight. This was a mistake :x
I could hold him for about 12-13 Minutes. He was at ~20% HP when he pwnt me.

I didnt nuke much, saved my MP for keeping Phalanx & Stoneskin up (and sleep the link XD).

A THF finished him but thank god he didnt get the Katana lol! (He said he's 0/21 on him)

I think i'll go there more often now cuz even when he doesnt Pop or drop, u can still make Money with the Tree Cuttings that the placeholders drop (atm 480k/stack on Kujata)

Died to him ; ;
# Nov 18 2005 at 9:22 AM Rating: Decent
I died today to it last night; ;

I went into the fight as a 60 rdm/blm Totally unprepared and unaware of how the fight would go.

Right off the bat, a sleep II fails to land, and I hastily buff myself. I whittle his health to 50% and then he started to hit me well. I started to lose my concentration and started to panic. I had to bind, rebuff, refresh, etc, but after the 6th bind, my bind's didn't last too long.

I had him down to 5% and died. . .

I haven't soloed as a RDM in a while, and lost my rhythm. . .A prick *** Mithra THF Anastacia just claimed it after I died, said "That's too bad" and ran off when she killed in 6 hits and 1 DE.

Live and learn. . .

For a Taru RDM, he would hit for 60's on me. I could solo it better if I had a way to combat Paralysis. This owned me so many times when trying to rebuff myself.

I will try to casually camp him while collecting some more tree cuttings, but I will bring some echo's and some potions for paralysis to beat him

As a 65 bard, I can solo a lot of things, given time. However, this piece of crap is extremely resistant to lullaby. He hit me way too damn hard for my HP/MP to get back, and I had to warp out of the fight.

Maybe sleep works, but from my experience, on lightsday, even, lullaby is completely ineffective.
Solo

Soloed him as 60 Ninja / 30 Warrior. 72 experience. I lost 0 HP and only used four shihei. No other tools used. Tree cuttings, moss, and crystal. Oh well.

i was short in cash so i was thinking .... this GKT will helps alot =P
i was just camping it , killing the goobs here and there and i ended up with this :

6 stacks of cuttings ( 110-120k/stack in bismark )
25 stacks of moss ( 8-10k)
no GKT (1.3 mil )

from this you can see that i made
690k+ 225k = 915k simple farming ^^;

easily soloed by THF69 , 31 exp btw , DRK64 was killed by it ( used 2h , drain and bloody bolts )

sometimes he is blind and sometimes... not

GL ^^ ( and sorry for bad english ^^; )

I think this guy may be more suited for shadow tankers and mages to handle. I saw him up the other day while farming cuttings and didn't think he'd be too big a deal for a 70 SAM. I had about 900 HP at the time and my newb NPC was out too.

Went into the battle and he was hitting really hard, roughly 60-80 per hit. I knew I'd be done if I didn't 2 hour, so I popped that off and got 4 WSes on him, with over 600 damage in just skillchain effect. 2 more WSes later, (so this fool ended up taking 6!) he died and I had about 200 HP left. If his acc. wasn't crap and I didn't have my 2 hour up, I woulda been dead. So a word to the wise for melee jobs like SAM, DRK, and maybe MNK, be careful!

Got 19xp, 2 mosses and a tree cutting. My NPC did a total of about 20 damage. Haha.

just killed this as a 60 smn on caitsith. got there and waited only 10-20 mins, drg already there told me it had spawned 2 hrs ago. claimed it up, sent carby after it, started to melee along with the ninja camping it with me, we took hate and almost died. so i suggest letting your avatar solo him, fight will take a little while, took me about 10 mins or so, mp was at 248/788 at the end. no g. katana drop, got 2 moss, 1 cutting, and 2 water crystals. but he is soloable at 60 :) killed by Zilos and Tritona

#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 06 2005 at 11:11 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Keeper can be solo'ed @ Lvl60. It'll be a dangerous fight though. It barely hit me because my EVA was capped and I was wearing +20 EVA (Emp Pin and Scorp Harness) Utsusemi was there too. ;) When it did hit me though it took off around 80-100 a shot ><;
1/59 on him

i farm cuttings alot in that area and i have killed him many many times, sometimes he is 1 hour between spawns and sometimes more than 3 hours. the only time i had every gotten drop from him is when i was early for my ZM5 and waiting for rest of party to show up and he was there. got drop was worth 1.6 mil in seraph.i noticed he stopped agroing me at lv 72 but he still gives me about 20 xp

I soloed this last night as a 64rdm/32thf. This was one tough fight. I had to use my two hour at one point to catch up and convert as well. I ended up with less than 30mp and 400hp, although I was wearing farming gear at the time. He did give me 50 exp though, which should give some indication as to his level.

P.S. Dropped 2 boyadha moss, 1 tree cutting, and water crystal.
