After being outlotted by every PLD and WHM who felt like it during exp parties, I finally got one of my own. Thanks to everyone who helped! 1/2!
Not only did we beat gilsellers (not sure why they were there >_>, I think this item is getting popular with gilseller melee as an excuse to sell their haubs), we had three links including the wryvern from the back room that we had just pulled.
I plan on using this and grace rings when closing light skillchains with Shark Bite, and Scorpion Harness/Snipers to build TP. The extra power should boost WS and Skillchain damage quite well.

well i have been after this thing for months, 0/24 ; ;......it was around midnight when me and my lvl 75 rdm friend decided to give it a try.....when we reach the spawn point there was another DRG there who had like 15 people with him, i was like wtfs, so we wait and wait......it finally pops around 1:30 am, i use jump on it and run toward my rdm friend, he sleeps it, but i die by a mantacore that was nearby D:
he takes Ose to the zone and starts killing it the way he usually does, sleep, nuke , sleep, nuke, etc. Its half dead when people from an LS start gathering around......my friend told me to keep watch if they try for an mpk
when it was alomst dead, my friend told me to finish it it off, so i got TP and gave it a 247 wheeling thrust, and the jerkin dropped!!! I was so happy, after all the months of hard work >< it payed off, even tho i died it was still worth it....1/25!
So far this server switch has been good to me. Me and several friends started up a killer linkshell, and in my first exp party on Remora, we alliance up in Onzozo and whomp on Ose, who drops the Jerkin. 15 people in alliance, 2 passed on it. I cast a 944 (after making sure there were no drgs) and then proceed to win! Too bad the Jerkin is 6 levels higher than me. Not as good as Hauby for exping, but I'll definitely use it for farming and stuff. No need to farm in armor with -20 eva and -5 agi. So that's 1/1 on Ose. Haven't had this much luck since I went 1/1 on Stroper Chyme when I did my AF.
Popped Kard NM Gobby after about 45 minutes of waiting and got the drop. Headed over and waited for Ose. 1 hour and 50 minutes went by (after a party told us it popped an hour ago) so I don't think spawn is every 2 hours. Finally popped Ose and killed it (75NIN, 66THF, 66BRD) and it was an incredibly easy fight. Didn't get the drop, but we got mad gilllzzzzzzz.
I was exping in the Labyrinth last Friday night for about 5-6 hours with the same party and Ose popped twice. The first time, we formed an alliance with another exp party and took him down fairly easily (no deaths) but no drop. The second time same thing but this time the jerkin dropped. I wish I could have shouted "Please don't lot on the jerkin if you are not going to use it because it is rare/ex so you CANNOT sell it!" but I was more concerned with my own lot results than everyone else lotting. Just a tip, make sure people don't lot on it just for the sake of it.
Im 1/16 on this *******. Im a DRG so this item is necessary for me. I went with my friends to lab to camp him and while we are fighting a manticore Ose pops. A split second this n00b thf pulls Ose thinking it was a normal Torama (Killerofall you ******* noob) and it starts to whoop up on their PT. Me furious wants the PT to just die so we can claim him afterwards. But then I see a fellow DRG (Killjoy) is the ninja in that party. I asked for alliance so we can save them and we end up killing him. The ******* dropped the assault jerkin. First time in 16 tries it drops. What happens? Their entire PT lots for it (except Killjoy) whm, brd, rdm, thf, and war... We saved their lives and they lot on the item we came their for??? Unfortunatly they sent invite for alliance so we couldnt boot them. I beat the whm, rdm, brd, and thf in lots but then came that ******* warrior. He lotted 3 higher then me! wtf does he need it for? he needs to pull his head out of his *** and save up for a haubergeon! I dont remember the warriors name because I was so furious. And he is lucky, because if i remember, I will MPK you everytime I see you >:(
o_o; Oh my... Can't you be proud for him? It's a good piece of equipment (I'm not saying better than a Hauby, for I cannot use one yet, seeing as how I'm a MNK.) IMO (note... this is only an opinion, so please don't rate me down for an opinion -.-;). And God, I understand the frustration of having 15 kills and no drop, then losing it when it *does* drop, but just because you lost the claim doesn't mean who got it is a ******** ******* n00b'. You didn't *have* to save them in the first place (all though it was right that you did). Seriously, be happy for the guy. >.<
...On a side note, breaking an alliance makes you lose all items in the treasury, so I think you should be more grateful that you weren't the alliance leader... or you would be the one looking like a ******** ******* noob'. :)
just because you lost the claim doesn't mean who got it is a '@#%^ing ******* n00b'
Especially since the 'n00b' was a thief, who have just as much use for the Assault Jerkin as a Dragoon. I'd think chances are he knew exactly what he was pulling.
the noob he was refering to was war not thief the thf pulled it the war got the lot and hes saying that hauby is more useful to war whereas dragoons endgame armor aside from afv2 and maybe 1 or 2 others by opinion is assault jerkin. bu also in wars defense if he can equip it then there no reason he shouldnt lot on it. most ppl dont becuase tey understand how much drgs need it.
I must have this! If anyone on Lakshmi is willing to help me get it I will pay big money. Just send me a /tell any time. Im desperate now that I have finished exping in the Labyrinth, I have no hopes of getting it in an exp pty again.
Hm, we got this tonight while exp-ing in Onzozo. Had to make an alliance with another party that was in the area, and it look about 6 minutes or so to kill.
The thing that really annoyed me though was that when I got the highest lot on it, our Ninja started to complain, saying I didn't even need it. Well, I'm sorry but I beg to differ. After all this armour does have the little "RDM" bit on it, saying that I can infact use it. And I do a lot of solo-ing, farming so this would be useful for those situations (RDM accuracy isn't the best, any bonus helps). But what gives people the right to put themselves above others? I helped kill that thing just as much as anyone else, and every single person in the alliance lotted for it, even the White and Black mages.
As I didn't want to start an argument there and then, I gave up my lot - a nice 985. I'm only glad our linkshell Dragoon, who was exp-ing with me, got the 2nd highest lot and ended up with it. Congrats Zor!
What the NIN meant by that is that since you earned it in an xp setting, I believe, there are many other jobs beside RDM that can get a lot more out of the jerkin instead in an xp setting. I can see a RDM being higher up on the list of priority for the thing than say.. RNG or PLD, but for DRG particularly this is a near-godly piece of gear. DRG doesn't have very many other options, wheras the WAR DRK BST SAM can wear lovely things like Haubergeons. As far as an xp setting goes, a DRG will probably get the most out of it. I'm glad to see it went to one, just wanted to explain why I think there was an issue. :) Just because you -can- wear it doesn't mean it does terribly much for you.
er... im no high level RDM but as for soloing this isnt what RDM jobs use. at that level ist Scorpion Harness. And before u tell me that is cost an arm and a leg (wich i would agree that it is over priced), if you realy want a solo armor get a group of ur LS to go to Garliage Citadel and camp Serket. Heck even drops a ring Elvaan or Galka RDM could realy use. Keep in mind this is realy more useful to THF and DRG in XP and farming purposes. So u helped killed it and, as u sed, just as much as everyone else. That doesnt mean u earned it. Everyone helped and in your logic everyone should be able to lot it. But what seperates us from the noobs is KNOWING where and what jobs it is best suited for. If someone in your group asks and basicly would serve them better and u know there are more useful armors u can be using (*coughScorpionHarnesscough*). Then by all means dont hog it. Ose pops every 2 Hr's if ur realy hard up for it u can easily camp him.
But IMO, many armors and weapons may have your job in the "can be used by" but that doesnt mean u should. Please people, be reasonable and use good judgement as this game forces u to rely on others to gain any momentum in the game. Dont be an @$$ to your fellow players.
i was in onzozo when i seen a lvl 75 rdm/nin attempt to solo it. didnt go so well.... so me and my party joined in the fight and killed it. no drop though >.<

Killed him with an alliance last night! Lotted 927 on the Jerkin and got it! I believe my Haubergeon is better for exp parties, but i'll sport it while farming and for general elegance. ;)
So you had no intention of using it in an EXP party and yet you lot on it anyway.
***.
The little **** will probably end up dropping it in a month to make room for another stack of fire crystals.

This is the stuff that irritates me. You have access to armour similar, in fact better, then this yet you choose to lot on it. I'm not sure whether you had a Drg, Thf, or Rdm in your PT but for the love of god, give it to someone who can actually make use of it.
I'm also sick of people lotting on it saying they need it for another job. The armour is level 67, if you're planning on taking the job that high, you'll for sure make it back to the Lab. of Onzozo. NOW WHMS CAN STOP LOTTING ON IT. *Each time I've fought Ose the whm has lotted and won the Jerkin.
He isn't neccisary an *** for lotting. Think about it~ half the party was prolly mages, BRD/RDM, WHM, and BLM, so they need it as much as him.. if not less, considering only the RDM or BRD can equip it. And one of the melees is Grizzleox himself, who can actually equip it. then there's the tank, who in my opinion has much better body pieces at that level, NIN or PLD. So then there's one more melee who may be a MNK that can't use it, or a WAR or something that doesn't need it either.Or you're completely right and the other melee was a DRG, and Grizzleox is a complete ***. :) I myself, while leveling here, was in this exact situation. I was a MNK (can't even equip it) but all three mages had passed, the PLD lotted only because he thought it would look cool, and he'd never wear it otherwise, and the other melee was a WAR who said he'd drop it within a month and passed. After asking the tank if it was alright for me to lot, (I plan on leveling DRG some day ) he said it was ok mentioning he didn't really even want it... so I ended up winning that lot, and got about 3 "{Congratulations!} lol"s.
On a side note about other jobs leveling through here, 1. This isn't the only place to level at that level. 2. What if the NM doesn't pop while you're there? 3. What if it pops and you're the only PT there, unable to kill it? 4. What if you claim it, but.. no drop? >.>
Again, like I said, Grizzleox may have just been an ***, or maybe not? This is only an opinion. :)

but the worse part is yet to come, then the blm lotts, and he say " well i only lotted cause i know it's worth alot of money"
lololololololol, Level 60ish and he can't see the green circle @.@
so very true! infact, i fought this guy my first time i even went to this place and there he was. there was one party already there so we formed an alliance. fought ose > killed ose > lotted on drop > ???, after me and some other team members said "plz only lott if your going to use it" and the f**king whm lotts talking about how he didn't see the party chat saying not to lott, luckily he didn't win >.>; but the worse part is yet to come, then the blm lotts, and he say " well i only lotted cause i know it's worth alot of money" o.O /stuned. my mouth dropped! and the asswhole lotted last, oh.. again we fought ose > killed ose > lotted on drop > and dumb *** blm wins the lott. thanks alot jackass
combine this beauty with 2 snipers and you have a badass thf.. i am 1/3 on it now, the one time it dropped i lotted 919, i was in a 12 ppl alliance. whm lots 990 and gets it. Then he says "Sweet! how much is it worth?" >.> <curse> you <curse> you whm!! note its a rare/ex item..
I would just like to say that I duo'ed Ose tonight with a 75 BLM and it was a very easy fight tho it did take awhile. Strategy was to sleep Ose then gravity him... Then the BLM would nuke then we would do it again... Took about 10 minutes maybe but neither of us were ever hit... Only got whiskers but it was good experience anyways...
