I don't understand why some people are like, "So yea, I walked outside of Kazham and bam! I got the marble! Didn't even have to kill a lizzy! Just fell into my f*ckin' lap!"

And others (like me) are, "So yea, I walked out of Kazham and every Lizard seemed to smell my plan for marble and hid them all in a secret spot so none of them would be carrying it when I went to smoke their ***** asses."

This is crap! I've killed close to a thousand lizards now and still no drop! I even have TH1! This is lame!!!!
woops

ok for all of you talking about killing hundreds with no drop, you must not be killing the right mobs. I just tried as a 52RDM/26BLM and I got the marble on the first drop and I had about 5/6 of my HP left (no stoneskin, blink, phalanx...)

Everybody who wants to try to get the marble...don't let those other posts discourage you from it
LOL

So yea I run out as a lvl 60 drk/thf thinkin hey I got TH1 this shouldn't take too long. Boy was I wrong. After 6.5 hours of ************ with my friends who were over and slaughtering lizzies they leave. So after another 2.5 hours of singing to My LS I get angry, Bam Launch Souleater and Last Resort Sneak Attack Guillotine and to my astonishment Nikah defeated an Ivory Lizard...okay that wasn't the astonishing thing. It was that he finally dropped the slab...so I'm happy a full good day of FF between getting Ramuh (yea I'm doin solo avatar fights so hence doin this quest to get some cash) getting a skill up pt and getting Guillotine and then this...w00t I might even cut some whm who needs tele yhoat a good deal on the scroll....so if ur on Fenrir send me a /tell
haha

I just got this! Ok i went DRK/NIN @ level 66 and completley PWND them! First off i found a routine line which i would follow back and forth b/c by the time i got to the end of the line the lizards @ the start already spawned. I went around 1 AM to start hunting the lizards, i killed at leat 100 of them, then i passed out. That tok about an hour, no more. No drop. I log in today kill some lizards, like 3-5 get DCd. >_<
I quickly log back on kill another lizard and it drops the MARBLE!!! Seriously 2 sec after it says i obtianed the mabrle i get DCd LOL. i was so ******* lucky.
time to get me that yhoat scrol :)
I highly doubt TH eill greatly impact the drop, i spent prolly a little over an hour untill i got the drop. however my friend got it in the first three kills!! That is luck. Anyway im happy.
bye
Eh

I'm not sure how you all took so long. I really doubt it has anything to do with weather or the day, judging by the input I see here.

Took me about 1.5 hours. 37WHM/BLM, 51WAR/THF, 51WHM/BLM, 31THF/WAR, 31DRK/THF

So yeah, that's 3 treasure hunters. Probably helped. Worked out nicely because my help (the 51s) were going to leave in 5 minutes or so. The other two we dragged along for the Treasure Hunter and showed them the way out of the jungle in return.

Yay, I have both my quests done for Altep and Yhoat. I dread Vahzl.

Also, if it's worth mentioning, I did have a 4 leaf mandy bud in my storage for you supersticious types.

Hunting @ J-7 - there was 1 water element.

Lightsday @ ~01:50 or so - Waxing Crescent 33%.

I was subbing a TH1 THF to my BST.

Been at this for months on and off - so glad it's finally over.

First time out, took 4 people 5 hours and got no drop. Damn lizards.

Second time just 2 people 59RDM and a 45 WHM and got the drop on 5th Kill.

Thanks to my mate Zulu, who I now have to name my 7th little Taru after....



5+ hours

Took my party (a thf with TH1, another with TH2, and a third w/o TH) 5+ hours to get one for each of us. I guess that's not a HORRID amount of time, but we killed enough lizards to net about 1.2K xp (at about 5 xp per lizard).

Big props to Fuuji on Asura for helping my girl and I get this item! Thanks also to Crazyp for tossing us a couple heals in one particular instance that could've gotten nasty lol.

Oh, one last thing, no rain on any of these drops. Not sure if the chances are better with rain or not, but it WILL drop despite the clear skies ^^

Taking the parcel from the NPC in Kazham to San d'Oria tomorrow, WAY too late tonight lol :P

I went out as my 65thf thinking I might have better luck than most being, well, a thief. Well, after litterally countless (I stopped counting after the 50's) lizzards, I manage to wander near the Gemini Falls at J-7, where the lizzards are out on land and not just in tunnels. I notice that this is a plentiful ground for killing, and begin. My third lizzard I use Sneak Attack + Dancing Edge to one shot it (I've been told that using a weapon skill lessens the chances of xxx item dropping, but I didn't care anymore, I just wanted to kill the *******) it drops. I do a huge :O /gasp and am very stunned. So, thats my story, I reccomend J-7 Gemini Falls area, many more lizzards there. Good luck!!!
It does exist!!!!

After weeks ran into months and I feared into years, I was EXP'ing with my npc Cupapa in Yuhtunga.

It really did drop (can't quite believe it) at 4:36am at G-7, no weather conditions......
It was odd because there was a very noticeable, longer, pause before it said "Ignatius defeats the Ivory Lizard" and yet another before I saw those beautiful words "You find a Slab of Elshimo Marble"

.......HOW PLEASED AM I.......!

After months (literally) of trying, I finally got this damn thing. I read below how people mentioned rain having a connection - well, I zoned into the jungle just as it stopped raining so I was a bit bummed. However, I got the drop on my 2nd lizard kill! :D Location: H-6
GRRR

I spent 5 hours hunting lizards and got my inventory filled with eggs, tails, and skins waiting for the marble to drop. I even had LS mates drop by and take some of the drops off my hands to make room. As I was about to leave I said to an LS mate, I'm going to fight one more lizard out of agitation, and what do you know...the marble didn't drop. However, during my fight another lizard linked...I killed it and woot...there it was.
Good Gil?

I tried this a few months back to help a good whm friend, and we killed about 200 lizards in 3 hours (the team was mnk46 whm40 and drk53 i think) and eventually i fell asleep at comp >.> woke up got a message from the whm saying no drop when the drk had to go so he gave up, then the whm got grounded no play for a while, then i logged on he was back with a 75sam and got it after 47 lizards, just my story ^^; not the best way to make some cash if you're never gonna lvl whm
Finally!

Ok...this is the most annoying quest EVER! Read some postings about it dropping between certain days and moonphases. Went to jungle to get my slab between Lightsday and Firesday during a full moon. Killed about 1000 lizzies and nothing! Tried again today and just now got it! O.O Finally!

I read up about a few of the stories about it bein a bit of a crap drop....

204 lizards, 9 lizards tails, 1 (yes 1) lizard skin, 6 lizards eggs later and NO GODDAMN MARBLE!!!!! >:(

Wtf??? That is the sh*ttest drop rate yet X( and I thought G1 necropolis drop was bad....

So in the end I'm no closer to gettin my scroll, I've wasted 4 hours of my life, and im mega p*ssed off right now!


*********************


><
OK now 540 lizards killed, with a couple more stacks of tails and the odd skin.
To hell with this? who needs the scroll anyway =P
Better ways to make money!! I'd rather pay for it if i level whm any further >:(


I could've farmed at least 1m in that time {/sigh}

Very rare drop for me. I was hunting it with war/whm and I know I must have killed at least 50 of them perhaps. I am just now going to go solo with 50 thf and hope my chances are better this time. I will try to go when the moon is waxing gibbous cuz good drops prob have some relation to that airship quest I guess. And I will try to avoid a heat wave.
easy drop

Got this about after 10 minutes (30~40 lizards) as RNG57/THF28... pretty easy compared to other stuff I've farmed (anything slime-related ; ;)
Preposterous!!
# May 29 2005 at 7:23 AM Rating: Good
7 hours of farming
351 Lizards killed
2 Stacks of tails
1 Stack of skins
1 Stack of eggs
0 Mables
2 Words: F***k off

Edit: Moved farming camp to K-7, near the Gemini Falls, by suggestion of a fellow poster in the Quests forum (thank you withsilverwings ^^). Got the drop in 5 minutes (roughly 14 lizzies gathered toghether and "-ga"ed to oblivion).

as a level 40 WHM I decided it would be a good idea to get this item for the Teleport-Yhoat Quest. However I can't seem to find a spot with Ivory Lizzy and no Goblin, being level 40 I am still at a level that Goblin con EP and aggro me.

Forantly I am getting a level 51BLM friend to help and since she wants to do the quest as well. Also helpful since every 2 minutes Serph Strike -> Earth Crusher = Detonation for about totalling damage of about 500 damage from the 2 WS and SC. Reduces down time either way. Well wish me luck getting this item... twice! >.<. If anyone know a good spot for getting just lizzy please say =3.
weather, eh?

I just got this drop a moment ago. There were no weather effects, it was icesday, and it took me about 45 minutes of killing both yuhtunga mandies and ivory lizards to get it (I was also looking for a 4-leafed bud)

Well:

Did this last night.

Ate a Lucky Egg - NO weather effects - Got slab first kill. Picked up a friend in the jungle who was looking for a 4 leaf clover - So not wanting to waste 30 mins of egg I invite him.

No more then 10 Ivory Lizards total - I get another slap and give to him.

It was a good days work in a very little amount of time.

So take a lucky egg - start killing them ivorys and get that slab!
