Nadrs  

1/4. The first 3 CCC's popped around the 2 hour mark. The fourth popped after 3.5 hours and dropped the sword. Perhaps longer spawn increases chance of drop.
Also had TH1 on all 4 attempts.

Just killed it again, 4 minutes ago on Midgardsormr server.

I'm 0/3 on this **** and counting! I WANT ITTTT

Nadrs is also a very uncommon/rare appraisal of the ??? sword that drops from CCC in Nyzul Isle.

We had this happen last week - the sword went to one of the party members.

I got today after about 5 tries more or less, with Treasure Hunter 1 & 2 + Thief Knife. I was basically very lucky that no one camps this, because the drop rate isn't too good. It seems like a nice piece to have for that level but nothing extraordinary. It's something nice for people to see when they examine you. Ofcourse, it's a very decent piece to use up until about level 30 When you get that sword with acc +3 and att+4 which I think is called Centurion's sword.

Anyways, I tested it out on regular mobs in Korroloka like spiders. The proc rate of the additional effect of poison is not too great. I still haven't checked if it's a powerful poison versus lower level mobs like Qufim ones (it's level 24, so it'll be used in that area or in level capped areas). Afterwards, I tested it on Aquans like fish to see if it had some sort of hidden effect, and the additional effect did not proct more, nor did I notice anything hidden. Lastly, I tested this on crabs in the area since this is dropped from a crab. I didn't notice more proc rate on crabs, nor did I notice any other hidden effect versus crabs.

I'm keeping it for level capped areas.

im now the proud owner of this sword. i went 1/2 so after reading this i guess i got pretty lucky. first time i showed up and tried to solo him as a 36 bst/whm, got him down to just under 60% before he pwned me. came back later with a 75 thf friend and got the drop. ^^

Hi all!!! Well currently 0/9 on the Nadrs. There are a few things I noticed that may help people. Although his pop time could be 1-3 hours, I am fairly convinced on the average is about 2hrs. You only have to kill the one clipper to the east or west of the bridge...the one sitting in the little pools. Respawn time of the clippers are about 10 to 13 mins. Rarely have I seen a 10 min respawn though. Typically I put my spells up in place at the 10 min. mark and it usually pops just before or just as my refresh wears...so typically 13 min.

I might be able to help with some of the truths and un-truths about Cargo Crab Cheapass. He did use his poison ability on me the very first one I fought...obviously no drop. He has never attempted it since then...I can say that if it happens its not 100% it will drop...but does it increase the odds...maybe...thats something I am still testing.

I have killed the Sea Monk 5 outta the 9 times...still spawned after 2hrs. Didn't seem to matter for him spawning or not. One thing I observed was that the Sea Monk did respawn shortly after CCC's pop. So I am testing now whether you kill the Sea Monk closer to the time of the pop that it will make a difference.

Doesn't seem to matter what pool the Greater Pugil is in. Cargo Crap Cheapass spawns in the area near the bridge every time I have killed it, never seen a pool spawn yet. Sometimes right on the bridge or next to each corresponding chasm on either side of the bridge and can be on the east or west side. So really in total you need to keep track of 5 spawn points...which is very easy.

He drops 1200 gil, 2 crab meat, & crab shell everytime I have killed him. Finally yes!!! he is miser(which is why my LS and myself have adopted his new name...lol)with his drops if you go 1/1 consider yourself very very lucky. I seriously am hoping the guy that wrote he went 1/40 was exaggerating...lol. Although I have only killed him nine times, I have seen 30+ spawns whether it be other campers or friends. From the other players that I have confirmed results it has dropped about 2 in 26 kills. Some players wouldn't acknowledge my inquiries so it may have dropped more. I have a feeling the drop rate is less than 10% though. Hope this information helps anyone looking for this awsome sword. I will update when I acquire accurate data.



***Edit*** Finally went 1/21 on the sword. I am convinced the Sea Monk does not have anything to do with Cargo spawning or not spawning. Cargo still spawn every time on time when he should have when the monk was dead or alive. Also the poison ability doesn't seem to make a difference in drop rate at all. In reality I believe there isn't anything "special" about Cargo...he seems to act just like every other pop NM in the game. He is just very boring to camp and I believe people notice things that aren't really anything to just occupy their mind. One thing true about him though is that his drop rate is filthy awful. From the data I got, I calculate the drop rate out to being roughly a little less than 5%.

1/2 on DRG/THF. I was down farming slimes one day a few months ago and CCC was up unclaimed. All on his lonesome. I'd camped him with a MNK friend of mine before, but we didn't get the drop for him (he was lvling BLU).

So I killed the little bugger and out pops a Nadrs. Suffice to say I'm pleasantly surprised. I was thinking of lvling BLU for DRG sub anyway, so I can't complain. It's a pretty sword. I've bazaared with it on using my WAR sub just because I could (what can I say? I'm easily contented.)

Currently I am 0/20 on Mr. Crab. We have become good friends over the past few weeks. Sometimes I have nothing else to do, that is when I say to my self "Hey self, I should go check in on my favorite crab, who knows today could be the day he is actually carrying cargo." Alas, it is never the day. I am beginning to hold the Nadrs in such high regard that it could possibly be a mythical weapon. I have almost forgotten the reason why I wanted this sword. Sure it looks cool and everything, but is it really worth it? Everyone should at least meet Colin once, but if he isn't generous and doesn't give you that 1/1 rate I would recommend finding another NM to be friends with. If you really want though, pop in after two hours from when you last saw him, check and see how he is doing and if he has anything for you. It may be a long and vicious cycle, but I know one day Mr. Crab will learn that I only think good thoughts of him, and he will be selfless enough to part with this treasure of his. Until that day, we will see each other quite often Colin. ^_^

1/1 on this :D

What are does CCC mostly spawn in?

not to rain on anyone's parade, but i'm 1/1. killed CCC as WHM which surprised me since i never get any drops with that job.

on another note: i'm not sure if this is true but i've heard that killing the Manta that is near the spawn point will keep CCC from spawning.

1/7 on this, and made about 15k from the normal crab drops to boot :) finally got the ******* though, and it looks sooooooooooo sweet.
