I used to have a pair of these, although now I have Alkey's but these used to be more expensive the what Alkey's even cost now lol. they used to be about 1.5 mil on my server (odin server) now I don't think these are even 100k.
Just like to note this item hasn't been updated. Blu can wears these. Also kind of strange to see that elf pic up for these since when you equip them there is no real texture for this item. It comes up as you not wearing anything on hands when you equip these lol. I mainly just wanted to note Blu can wear these and they are awesome for Mithra~! Since we have such high Dex and Agi it's not much of a sacrifice to give up a bit to gain such awesome str.
I just killed this guy 5 times in a row last night with no drop. Once at 95% full moon and once at 98% full moon. This isn't the first time i've killed him multiple times in the same night without a drop. I think SE needs to do something about this its ludacris, i'm like 1/25 on him. The bracers are only worth 1 mil, so i dont see why such the stinky drop rate. If you know some magic trick to make this thing drop please post it.
I'm a lvl 58 RDM/BLM. I've solo'd this guy twice so far for a 1/2 drop. I've never claimed him with a PT. This guy was so easy it isn't even funny. He was doing about 12-24 damage to my character, and with refresh, stoneskin, phalanx, regen, haste, and enblizzard all up, I killed him extremely quick, and my HP never fell into the yellow.
He did try to charm me during both battles, but was not able to. I'm not sure what days I fought him, or what the moon was at, but this guy was extremely easy. And these sold for 2mil on Bahamut.
[Edit:] BTW, I'm Elvaan, and was wearing all my AF (except for hat, of course) and my weapon was a Wise Wizzard's Analace (sp?).
I am lv75 RDM, I have subbed NIN, BLM, and DRK on him DRK probably being the most fun... 700+ Vorpal Blade XD Yes, Please. Anywho, PH is Bonecutter, popping 12min after ToD. I have had back to back spawns as well as 6hr spawn spreads. Patience is key because Enky does seem to like to drop at least one pair a day or so it seems from the days I have camped. I am 4/20ish and I have been charmed 4x, once costed my poor lv71 BLM g/f to die swiftly from my newly aquired Joy toy but it was fun and she laughed. Full Moon be prepared to get charmed regaurdless, I had Protect and Shell IV, Stoneskin, Blink, Phalanx up and still was charmed. I do have a Numinous Shield so assuming +10 light helps resist charm he is one tough cookie to still get through all that. I've watched lv47-48's duo him, and 52+ solo. It's all chance of charm. If Enky has bats out he will use familiar and not charm you, he can only charm you if he has no pet. Suggestion being, if you are alone in zone (most of the time I am) then wait for bats to be spawned, at most it may take 3 minutes. Good luck and happy camping!
I am currently 1/15 on Enkelados and 1/12 on his little brother Ogygos. Enkelados is a random pop off Gigas Bonecutter, which will spawn in one of the two rooms every 12 minutes or 5 game hours after death. Enkelados can spawn every 12 minutes technically, but it is completely random. I personally have had back to back spawns, then had a 5 hr gap. As to be able to solo Enkelados a 60 Warrior/Ninja has few problems, but can take Enk down. I soloed Enkelados as a 64 Ranger/??? Tarutaru! I am reluctant to give away my subjob because that is my key to outclaiming every competitor I've faced. Well thats all my info. Good Luck!
Oh yes I forgot one important thing. Enkelados can and does Charm. I have only been charmed one time, luckily no person in the area could kill me. So I waited for charm to wear off, then proceded in totally mauling Enkelados! Ok thats it.... I think. >.>
Regardless of level it appears you can be charmed, I was a victim of this at level 72, so I got to be his body guard for a while. Mystery Tour was wrong commenting just lvl 60 players or under are vulnerable to charm.
Fortunately for the lower level guy that was trying to get him, he had given up for the night shortly before this happened. 0/2 btw ; ;
hello guys, what lvl do i gotta be. i have a lv 58rdm,50drg can any lvl kill him, and i gotta worry about his charm, is there anyway to resit this? cuase i lose 1500 exp on rdm for a death and i know someone will kill me lol, and btw how do you know what gaints are his placeholders? i can never find out which ones are oh and btw 2 mill on ciatsith and i really need these for drg and upcoming mnk, drk. thxs alot and plz help me out
Today on Bahamuth me and a couple friends hunted this guy, we was covering both rooms with little competition, first pop was @1hr next 20min PH bonecutter as said before, we were 60thf 62thf 55mnk, he charmed the 62thf and I ended up tanking NM and the THF, no big deal, but would been worse if ur solo'ing and u lose claim cuz ur getting charmed, must suck bigtime :s
You have kxt-whatever on your server too? Dammit all... What are they, gilsellers or something? There were literally like the same people up there ALL day. A few working together... Granted I was tryin for it all day too, but damn, even I went to go do normal things! They're probably still up there right now. :/
Figured I'd share my experience as seems to be the tradition around here.
I was meandering around Upper Delkfutts not really doing anything specific. Just killing Magic Jugs, Gigas, elementals etc. and looking in on Enkelados every now and then. At one point I watched a 69 pld kill it and happily cheered her on.
After about 5 or 6 hours I got bored and my inventory was at 54/55 so I decided to leave, but I noticed that I was now alone so I decided: "Why not sick around and try to seriously camp Enk." Well, I started going back and forth between the two spawn points, killing the placeholders, and after only 20 minutes he popped right in front of me! Well, being a 60smn/30thf I wailed on him with Carby for a while and he went down. Dropped a pair of Gigas Socks ; ;
Disappointed, I went back to the other spawn point in hopes he would pop again within an hour. The placeholder was not there yet so I dismissed Carby and started resting. I walked over to my computer to wait (I'm on ps2) and heard a loud thwack come from my TV. I looked and lo and behold, Enkelados was taking swings at me! Yes, he had popped twice within five minutes!
Whipped out Carby again and whittled down Enk's health. "You find a pair of Enkelados's Bacelets on Enkelados."
/em dances merrily around Enkelados's broken corpse.
I had to drop a lightning cluster to make room for them, but what's 3k compared to becoming 1mil richer. ^^ So, I'm 1/2 on Enkelados and happy as hell.
Oh yeah, "Enkelados uses Charm." "No effect on Carbuncle."
