75 Rdm / 37 Blm. i just soloed the one in La theine twice and a Drk friend tanked the on in konschtat. this nm is Really easy for 70+. the acc is terrible and it only does drawin like every min if your not in range of him, so yes he is kiteable. the only thing you would have to really worry about is his petrify attack and HP down attack. while using a Joyeuse i was a little threatened here when it did HP down, then giving it Tp rather quickly, used the petrify attack right after. i had 200 hp and couldnt do anything, luckly i had stoneskin + phalanx on. other then that this NM is rather very easy. out of the 3 times i killed these nms, i got no shield with the 3 "Lucky" items, so i would think the drop rate is not too hot, just wondering if anyone knows the drop rate.

I'm assuming two of those items are the Lucky Egg and the Four-Leaf Clover (the latter the only one I'm certain has a +luck effect, but only when consumed; still, I personally keep one on me for the superstition of it =)! ).
Ok i was chocoing to sandy for some reason on my 39 whm!!!!! I had just got 39 which is my higest job ever and i thought i was invincible. And i see some rams, jump off choco and begin to massacre like 5 rams all in 1 area because i know the skins are worth a little bit. After im done and look around for another before runnin back to sandy. And i see Bloodtear standn there. So im like sweet, the rams around here a too weak to me so this guy cant be much harder. Bind doesnt stick and im dead before i can blink. I de-lvl and my jaw drops. I home point and get back there ASAP and find him again. I **** my self and start inviting every 75 in the area. I got a full pt and proceeded to smash the **** out of it(well the DRG actualy did all the DMG, i just threw in a cure or 2). Any way i had put on quartermaster and told every one that ill sell it and split the money(and i honestly was going to). But one of the guys was a jp blm and probly didnt get the msg and hes trying to D2 me right before the *********** jp ******** Any way we get the sheild and i shat my pants. Now what do i do with it? I cant pay the AH to sell and split the money and i am to low to equip it. ATM i just bazzaring it and /shout in jeuno. Any way im so happy.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO just got this, thats +3 def more and +6 att more then my shield now! well i got my end game shield, once again thanks for all the help khageta!
ppl on asura are just douche bags. im watching this guy for some time as 55thf and my ls friend 63whm. we ask out ls for help and no1 answers. this gay 75 /anon comes and is about to claim when the my friend does and we're running around. i /tell him to help us, he can take any drops and we just wanted to have fun. he watches us die, (i delvl) and takes claim for himself. hes fighting right now so idk if dropped
You were an idiot for claiming a nm you had no hope of defeating when no people were enroute to help you. There was no reason for the anon person to think you wouldn't boot him/her as soon as the nm was dead. You could have let the anon person claim the nm first (instead of purposely claiming it solely to prevent them from claiming it) and then offer to help if some fun fighting it was all you wanted.
you cant defeat the NM even w/ your friend. taht guy could, and apparently did, solo it. I wouldnt accept an invite from you either in his shoes. Why not? Because it's shady. Knowing I can solo it why would i join pt when you obviously can't do it alone. It's a what 22 hour pop at least? Forget that, you're on your own. Cry babies make me sick. =P
Both bloodtear and steelfleece were easily solo'd at lvl 69-70 bst using CC and pet food... I probably could have solo'd them earlier had I gotten the chance. I routinely chew them both up like they are baby sheep whenever I see them on widescan @ 75.
its pretty good defense, but with the attack bonus I might end up pulling hate off my pets. I use the balance buckler for the accuracy bonus. I'd rather hit more often than harder.
Definately a shield for PLD, WAR, or SAM. Too bad its not for DRK...
"Bloodtear can be solo'ed, Steelfleece can't. I know BB from experience, as my friend Vizzini (RDM75/NIN37) more or less solo'ed the whole battle. We had a WHM looking out just in case, and i was chipping in for 1-2 damage with my 43THF/10RNG (was ramfarming, but I did get claim and 'kited' *cough *cough him for 1 minute till they showed up....) BB has real bad ACC he'd even miss my thief 5 or 6 times, and then when i got in red I activated PD. Was long enough for Vizz to claim and Fear to raise me when PD wore. I just poked him a bit and SA whenever up for 100+."
That was one hell of a fight first high level NM I was involved in taking down. Didn't do much but I got the horn XD
*Edit* Oh yea I was that Whm.

I will have to disagree Steelface can be solo'd...as i solo'd him as 75 SMN quite easily and could of kept going as i didnt use any MP and didnt get hit either, i got him down to like 18% maybe. I then decided to start meleeing with my staff and i was haviing terrible lagging problems that day and i went to disengage and i accidentally hit Call For Help. I know what a "n00b", so yeah he can be solo'd quite easily if you dont stupildy call for help lol
only jobs i cud see u using it as is bst or rdm and like whm solo maybe ....but since rdm mainly cast its not THAT great....and pld need def more but if u wanna spend 1-2mil go ahead <sigh> in the other FF games 1 mil is all u shud ever need as FenririsMaster mentioned ; ; dam rich people. *says counting his 6k gil ><*
Bind it and range it. I killed it with a level 63 rdm . I am a level 62 war/nin. After it was bound, we just kept nailing it with arrows. When it became unbound, I voke and rdm bound it again.

+12 Atk?! For 1.2mil? Why don't people just buy 2 rings for a few 100k? It's so stupid...Things will be like +1 more than another thing, and it'll cost be 10x more gil.....
Because you can wear those two rings *and* this that's why.

You cannot sleep Steel or Blood (I tried to sleep claim him once at 73 and wait for a thf to come,resisted). So doing the whole poison/dia/bio it will not work. Also you cannot kite these 2 as you will be drawn in and smacked by em ;).
