I don't think they can be sold in the AH. Look in people's bazaars. If your server is anything like Shiva there is about 50 bazaars in Batalia Downs. Try checking there.
Not sure what all the fuss is about obtaining the items.
Went to the sea serpent grotto and got the golden eye in 2 kills. We beat it easily with 4 people while skilling up and lookin for coffers.
A friend gave me the one off blubber eyes (earthen) but I hear that is the easiest one since its only a level 50 mob and I couldve prob solo'd it.
Got the one in king Ramps tomb (burning I think) on first kill with me and a level 65 whm. Easy fight. Then we skilled up off the rest while waiting for a ZM party to get set up. Got another eye off the next kill and ended up killing a total of 5 for two eyes and a few fire III scrolls.
Went to Ifrits Cauld with the same whm and a 70 rng friend as overkill. And again first kill got the damp eye on an easy kill. We killed another for fun but it only droped fire III.
Now I still have possibly the hardest one to get the wooden in Den Of Rancor but so far I dont see what the fuss is about. I'll keep you guys posted on the last eye and how the fight acutally goes. A friend wants to go with 1 pt or 12 person alliance with a jp party. Supposedly they've done it with this set up already, we shall see.
Well, just on the first one in KRT it took us about 40 kills with me and a THF70 for TH2. That's what all the fuss is about. Getting it on the first kill 4 straight times is like winning the lottery 4 straight times.
Oh and by the way... Just went to have mine synthed tonight and it broke, lost all eyes (even on lightsday). Awesome....back to farming

Well I know that this item is used to spawn the NM Hakutaku which drops the Optical Hat which is one of the best hats ive ever seen in this game. The problem is that to obtain this item you got to synthesize it, which has a probability of failing and may make you lose the items (Burning Hakutaku Eye, Damp Hakutaku Eye, Earthen Hakutaku Eye, Golden Hakutaku Eye, Wooden Hakutaku Eye; all of these drop rom high level Hecteyes and the drop rate is infamous). So In the end even if you manage to synthesize this item and get to the spawn point you still gotta survive the battle with Hakutaku to get the hat. In the end you gotta ask yourself: Was it really worth it? If you dont wnt to pass through all of the pain to get the cluster, then i suggest you buy it from the AH, that way you only have to survive the battle :)
Are the collected eyes Rare/Ex drops? Can you have more than 1 eye at any given time? If so, could you technically collect 2 of each eyes and then have someone craft 2 for you so that when you go do the NM you can have 2 eyes? Not that I'd want 2 hats, but I just want to know if it's doable.
No. All the eyes used a NOT Ra/Ex. I haven't seen people selling multiples of the same eye, but I have seen people selling just single eyes. I would assume that you could get multiples and sell them, but I don't know if it is possible.
Was browsing the AH in Lower Jeuno, trying to ignore all the shouts for teleports, when I saw this on my screen.

Soandso's synthesis fails. Burning Hakutaku Eye is lost. Damp Hakutaku Eye is lost. Wooden Hakutaku Eye is lost. Earthen Hakutaku Eye is lost. Golden Hakutaku Eye is lost.
Not sure if he/she was trying to craft on darkday or just didn't have a high enough alchemy skill. Come to think of it, that was also was the most /comfort emotes I've seen in one day as well :|
I would never use a ninja tank for hakutaku because its laggy, it paralyzes alot and hits very hard if your whm isn't quick it'll be a short short fight, not wise imo. I knew guys who used a nin tank one of the best NA nin tanks on my server he got owned so quickly because it has attacks that go through blink like deathray.
I've pretty much soloed tanked hakutaku (mage didn't stun firga 3 in time and the other one died) once....from what I seen everyone uses 2 nin tank instead of a pld though
I know you can craft these (i've seen it on my message log ^^) and I've seen people advertising to craft them for gil. The ingredients are most likely one of each of the Hakutaku eyes.. No idea what crystal it is cause I never saw the person crafting them ^^ only the results
A wild stab at it would be a synth with an earth crystal, and maybe it's a high lvl alchemy synth ^^
hm.. what is this thing for? i've also recently found a Burning Hakutaku Eye from Thousand Eyes in King Ranperre's Tomb.. cant sell it to NPC or AH.. been on my bazaar for 99,999,999G and everyone i've asked dont have any idea what that is... >.< anyone? any clue?
The Hakutaku eyes are found in various places from hecteyes type monsters. When you have all five eyes (Damp,Wooden,Gold,Burning,Earthen) you can then find someone to craft them into a Hakutaku Eye Cluster which can be traded to a ??? in the Den of Rancor to spawn the legendary Hakutaku, which drops the famous Optical hat.
The requirements/recipe for the Hktk. Eye Cluster are as follows;
I fought the Hakutaku a few days ago, and let me tell you, he is one tough sucker. He kept getting the Lv75PLD to 500hp in about 2 hits lol. We used a Ninja as the main tank, and managed to take him down in about 20-30min. A Ninja tank and Black Mages really help in this fight. The Hakutaku will 100% for sure drop 1 Optical hat, and will also drop various other medicine (I believe we got a Vile Elixer +1 and something else).
Optical Hat lv.70 Accuracy+10 Ranged Accuracy+10 Evasion+10 All Jobs.
I wish there were other NMs that were spawned in this fashion to get items. The levels of camping seen on NMs today would be slowed dramatically.
Hell, just making the items Rare would be enough to stop all the camping that goes on in this game. If the Archer's ring was Rare - I guarantee that you wouldn't see 24/7 camping of the Stroper Chyme. Sniper's are the most popular rings in the game, and I think the Optical Hat is pretty damed awesome. Knowing that, the more popular an item and the more valuable an item should give it a Rare and/or Ex status (of which the Optical Hat has both).
2-Leaf Mandrogora Buds aren't especially awesome, but they get a freakin' Rare status. Kotes are amazing, as well as dropped only from one NM creature in the entire world, and they are treated as common as Zinc Ores. I think they rate to have an Exclusive rating on them (though I am not sure why you would want more than one).
