Got this today on the Lakshmi Server, heres my personal tale of what happened:

Get there at 4:15, only 2 others there. NM pops at 4:27, me 71 WHM and 75 MNK get outclaimed, but not biggie, we were there all of 12 minutes. I take note of the ToD, and go do some other things for about any hour, by this time, friends have logged on, so myself, 74 WHM and 74 NIN head out again and farm for abit to pass the time, the monster pops at 6:47, and is promptly killed by us at 6:49, but no drop, i take note of the ToD again. 8:48 comes rolling around, and by now 3 more friends have joined us, 70ish PLD, 75 THF, and 75 BLM get in on the fun and we get ready. 9:19 rolls around it finnally pops, NIN voke claims faster than either of us WHMs can flash or the BLM can stun. The thing dies by 9:21ish and low and behold, my earring drops. I say all of this to bring up one point really, vokers can claim far quicker than mages from what I saw. Thanks go out to Beautty, Marvin, Tanis, Sanjihellian, and Junnu!

Don't even bother.
I was camping this guy tonight with some friends for my Moldavite... Spawned right on top of me and before his shape (aka, the mob itself) had fully spawned, it was purple because of a nearby NIN.
He was blatently botting ... and he's there everytime. What's the use? I'll never own one of these earrings.
2/2 Drop, Yes!

Alright, I've tried camping this Mystic guy three times so far. The first time I ran into Onzozo I was whatever-level and wanted the Moldavite. I run into Mystic's room and immediately get aggroed. Hmmph, better try again at 65.

So then I try again on this guy to 65, and I run in, no aggro. Yes! One step ahead. And there's a level 69 Red Mage also camping it, along with another person. I /tell her and ask her if she wants to Team Up. So now we're clearing the room, and now I find out that I get aggro to the Cockatraces. After about an hour of waiting, Mystic finally pops, the Red Mage gets claim and kills it. We lot and she won. (Congratulations!)

Soooo, then I reach level 66. First thing I do is run to Onzozo to camp this sucker again. I get there and there is a level 75 Ninja farming Meat. He sees me and /tell's me if I'm camping the Mysticmaker. I say yes and he tells me the ToD, and then we team up. For an hour and 20 minutes, we kill everything in the room and a Beastmaster shows up. Now we're waiting, Tabbing through Mobs for the next 30 minutes waiting for pop. Obviously, Beastmaster is doing the same thing. And another BLM shows up. I tell my Linkshell things aren't looking good, and seconds later Mystic pops literally right in front of me. Targetted... Stun... claim! YES! We kill it easily and get the drop. He passes and I lot. Claim, 2/2. Drop, 2/2.

Good luck to everyone else.
7/7

The best part of Final Fantasy XI is its rich storyline. It separates this game from other MMORPGs. I chose to give my character a storyline that goes along with the game's storyline. I find that this is a more fun way to play the game. Playing the game just to fight in the endgame and collect elite equipment is very boring and is totally missing the main objective of the game, which is to guide your character through the storyline which is to save the world.

So yea, I've been wanting this for the longest time. I've camped it many times, with random friends, one time we got the claim but the guy that was helping me, actually lotted and won, when he never told me he would lot...
Anywho, my LS Assassins on Gilgamesh, were about to go out and do our usual Ose hunts, when we found out Ose just died, so our LS leader (liquid) said we might as well help me out with getting my earring...
3 people compitition, but we had 8 ppl in our ls party... Nonetheless, we get claim, then the drop, and I am now an extremely happy taru...
Afterwards, we head out for Ose, get claim, but no drop... We then go back to Mystic for our Bard that wants the earring, and we claimed again, but no drop...
3/3 claims tonight :) Thanks a lot guys, many, many thanks! Liquid Sinistral Aphroditee Keisha Rykku Assailant and Ladyangel.

Total : 3/7 on claims, 2/3 on drops

i went camping him with a lvl 75 mnk/thf
after the monk cleared the area mysticmaker popped. we were only there 5 minutes.

there was an other blm camping him, and he got the claim. i started casting stun, and at about 70% i got the message: your target is already claimed. :-(

so the lvl 75 started on mysticmaker: thunder IV, blizzard IV.... mysticmaker wasn't very happy...
mysticmaker casts sleep: the lvl 75 blm is asleep...
mysticmaker casts poison II: the blm resists the spell.
mysticmaker casts freeze: the blm was defeated by mysticmaker profbitch...

he didn't have any buffs up, so if you want to get him, after the claim: buff up!

i stunned him and my taru monk friend, well, he hits mysticmaker so hard, his fancy earring just dropped in our pool. ^^

i tried to solo him as a blm 65 and 66: you can not kill him as a blm, your def is too low... his spells hit very hard.... and he has about 4500 hp.

I have been trying to get this for about 1 month now, have only fought 3 times and the third time was the charm, here is my story.


So I'm in bastok trying to feed my chocobo(Please read: Wasting Gil) when one of my LS buddies is campin kracken/exploring when he runs up and tells me that mystic has popped. I told him that to kite that mother until I got there, so I warp from bastok to white gate, change subs and tele-mea. He tells me that about 7 people who had also been waiting or pop started to send him /t that they where going to call a GM if he did not engage(which I thought was ghey) but I made it there in about 5 min. and that has to be some kind of record or something. But I get in and flee to where he is at, sneakattack and kill it and low and behold, everything drops. So I took the earring and gave him everything else for his troubles. This earring is killer as a drk, on IT's now it is rare that an absorb does not work and I love to use my Absord-Vit. But all in all, it was a good night and this is deff. worth the wait. ~Winsor

P.S. Special thanks to Pimpcheez who kited it until I could reach zone. But stay away from him for he is a wan. XP

I've been wanting to get this ever since I hit lvl 47, but always hated camping NMs, especially when I read that this had a respawn time of 2 hours. Well last night me (53blm/26rdm) and my friend (70sam/35war) were bored so he asked if I wanted to go there and camp it. I had nothing better to do so I was like sure. When we got there there were 2 people (75thf/5war) and (60war/30thf). The whole time they just stood there not doing anything. From the looks of it, it looked like they weren't there for the Earring. I sent them both a tell asking if thats what they were there for. No response. I was thinking that if they were there for any of the other drops I could join them, lot on the earring, and they could have all the other stuff. Still no response. We were there no more than 10 minutes and he spawned. All of a sudden the War went after him. He used Provoke but got the Cockatrice that was in front of it. I casted Stun on the Gob and claimed him. After I got claim, the 75Thf started moving. My friend killed it with no prob and we got the drop, as well as 3K, scroll of Thunder IV, gob mask, and gob armor. As soon as we killed it, they both warped out.
I was so excited and laughing so hard at the same time. The War prob used a macro with <bt>, and thats why he got the Cockatrice. I though it was funny. But hey, I got my earring on the first try.

Hey guys, I've never lvled BLM or RDM, so if i sound like a newb... its cuz i am one.

What exactly is "Magic Attack Bonus"? I mean, does it increase the effectiveness of all offensive magic spells? The reason I'm asking is beacuse I'm wondering if this will be a good earring for a Blue Mage.

Any insight will be appreciated.

From BlastolaQuetz's Black Mage 101:

BlastolaQuetz wrote:
Magic Attack Bonus (10, 30, 50, 70):
Quite simply, the "hidden" magic attack stat goes up, causing your nukes to do more damage. Tough to complain about that!


There is a hidden Magic Accuracy stat that should not be confused with the Magic Attack bonus. Magic Accuracy determines the likelyhood of your damage spell being fully or partially resisted. This stat can be directly boosted with Elemental Seal and some items now have Magic Accuracy bonus, as well, I believe indirectly by increasing INT. Once a spell hits, Magic Attack is used in the damage calculation to determine how much damage is done.

Again I'm foggy on the specifics but this is what I've gathered from reading. It should be noted that my BLM is only level 20.

I think got lucky on this one.

I started camping him with a LS friend and we sit there for a hour when a sam farming comes by and asks us if we're farming it and if we need his help. So we invite him and find out that hes 5/5 on him and this is as Sam/thf. I was also subing thf as well as my whm LS friend so we sit there for close to 30 mins building tp and we make a light SC and so he pops the sam does his WS i do mine and the gob is dead droping the earring making me 1/1 and that sam 6/6.

Good Luck with getting the earring to you guys.

Job Used: WHM/BLM lvl 75

I went there really late one night to just check where the nm spawns. Of course, at no shocked at all, there were three people camping that spot. i kind of waited like 30 minute and still no pops. So i figured, yah it's getting really late and so i logged off there in LoO to see if i could get it the next day. So i was there the next day and the whole area was empty. I saw a couple goblins missing...so i guess someone was here earlier. i did a /sea and i saw only a couple high lvl ppl, but they werent around this nm. So yah, i'm like thinking cool i got this place to myself. But, about in 15 min, an uber lvl 75 drg pops in killing everything in the far end with ease. and he see me standing there and he /tell me and asked me if i was going after the earring too. i nodded and he asked me if i was interested in camping this nm together. I figured i was probably out matched with this lvl 75 drg and so i decided to take his offer. About 1 h later, a lvl 75 drk pops in and i was telling myself this nm was going to pop soon. and it did in like 15 minutes. The drg already got the claim even before i locked on him. and bam! we kill...or should i say he killed him in less than 10 sec. And OMG...the Moldavite Earring drops! that was so unexpected...and he lotted first and he got 859. So, i was cringging and i lotted next i got some 900+ value!!! i was OMG!! I got it! and he congratulated me and all. but i really felt bad he didnt get it and he could have if he didnt invited me. Well, that just to tell u that there are still some nice guys in FFXI still =). I have my earrings and deals a nice damage increase =)...so i'm happy. btw, this is 1/1 try on this nm. oh btw, it dropped some blm spells too.
Solo Profy... kinda (~.^)

Last night I was camping solo as 64 RDM/BLM to get the ToD (since I can't really solo at that level). I see it pop and a THF in 70's grabs it right away. I figure no big deal, I'll get ToD and see if people can help kill it later.

THF is holding on, but about to die, until a WHM friend of his heals him up. I skill up my Dagger on a local Scorp until I see the THF D/C and the WHM let's Profy hit him until THF logs back on. I rest up to a bit over 300 MP and see the WHM is about to D/C while Profy is at about 15% HP.

The WHM D/C, I Chainspell and mash my Thunder II Macro and with 6 MP left and no Stoneskin or Refresh (My heart was pounding so bad I didn't think to put it up) and then I see it... "Seranos defeats Mysticmaker Profblix." And then...

You find a Moldavite Earring on Mysticmaker Profblix

There's my Solo Profy story ^^
Got it!

Got it with my 75 THF irl best friend today. Got it on the 2nd try. Not very camped at all on Fenrir. Though I am getting it quite late being a 73 BLM taru. Oh well, better late than never. Not a hard fight at all. Glad I had better luck than the people going 0/15 or having to deal with 40 people camping it like it's Counter Strike.

Was running around in Onzozo today with a friend farming cockatrice meat, no intention of even seeing this guy. Theres two other BLMs waiting for the spawn, we're running through and he decides to spawn right in front of my friend(MNK63). Chi Blast, nuff' said. Take him down, he drops the ring and a Thundaga III scroll. */shocked* Felt a little sorry for the BLMs camping him for hours on end though. /bow Thank you Mystic \(^.^)/
Random Level?

I think it's great that SE randomly picked lvl 47 for this lol.
I have a friend who is 6/6 on drop (TH4) but I can't get claim when he helps camp it. I claim better solo but I'm 0/5.
Angry !
