I found the ??? right away after walking over the spot, but as I ran up mine also disappeared. I turned around and could target it again. I found that I could only target it when facing a certain direction, even if standing directly over it.

This is a really good, comprehensive post. Nice job. :3 The only thing I have to add is my experience... The ??? did indeed pop the second I walked over it. Could've been coincidence, but soon as I stepped -right- on the spot, it appeared between my feet (after 20 minutes of spamming tab).
- talked to gob about 3:00 windsday, traded the items and he marked the spot near the outpost
- waped back to windy, outpost warped to elshimo lowlands (quicker to get there), ran down to the spot, and no spawn
- ran to Norg and got some gryshil greens and got on a chocobo for the helluva it, did some digging, didn't find squat
- about 14:00 or so, the ??? finally spawned (moon was around 50% i think, i forgot to write it down)
- dug up the spot, and got bag of grain seeds, tourlmaine, mythril coin, and mermaid ring
As an FYI, i'm now 1/2 on this quest and i'm not gonna do it again lol

where can i get info on where and how to do this quest. i need the ring for my 45 nin but there is no info on where to begin or what i have to do for quest, any info would be great.. thank you
I got the tail first; Seww was wandering around unclaimed one time when I went behind the silver door looking for a chest.
Much later I decided to farm the other pieces. The Head and Hands didn't take too long, farming with my BST68. The Body took forever, and I often had competition for the Spring spawns. But eventually I got it.
I opened the casket at ~5:00 on a New Moon Iceday, and got 4k gil, Beastmen's Seal, Blue Rock, Grain Seeds, and Silver Beastcoin.
I'm never doing that again. ><

I have spent 4 RL days of my life looking for the ???. I recommend spending 2 days out of your life to do this quest but that's it. I you can't find it by that time go level/farm. I hate that little piece of **** Goblin that gave me that treasure spot. I hate you Peddlestox and if I could SATA Dancing Edge your **** I would then spit in your eye. Never trust a goblin! Only steal and mug from them. Anyway, grats to all who have gotten the ring before 2RL days, but for the multitude of peeps who havent got it. Don't spend your whole week trying for it.
I leveled my bst from 34 to 38 there looking for it soloing. Good luck to all. It's only 500k on the server ^^; "It ain't nothing but thang, just several stacks of beeswax and some insect wangs"

This quest most definitely requires luck. I'm 1/2 on this... the first time I got a black chip. The 2nd time, after many weeks trying to get all the parts, I found the ??? on Earthsday - I think that's 5 games days after the gob marked my map. The thing was that the ??? was in the vicinity of the marker.. not at precisely it's position. Also, just wondering, but I got the drop from the Spring Sahagins on Watersday. Coincidence?

I posted here a little while ago, & I've completed the quest maybe 4-5 times. gotten 3 rings I think. But this time around, I got the spot @ (G-8)-(G-9), where the monkey NM Mischevious Michael(sp) pops. I've camped the spot for a couple of days, but can't seem to find the ???. Has anyone had this spot that knows where it pops?

The first time I finished this quest I found the treasure right away near the Outpost. Mermaid Ring.
The second time I turned in the items the gob marked the treasure near the sahagin pop area of the waterfall. After running around and tabbing for 4 days I was able to locate the ???. Mermaid Ring #2

Do you remember any specifics of when you dug up the treasure? Moon phase, day of week, etc.
I don't exactly know if those have anything to do with it, but being 0/4 on finding a Mermaid Ring I don't want to rule anything out.

It was a diffent moon phase each time.
Both times however it was dug up between 0:00 and 4:00 on Windsday.
The only other constant was running in circles tabbing to find the ???

Ok so i got all my damn parts traded them to the stupid gob on windsday and he markd my map I-6 i got on my chocobo got there the SAME day before 20:00 waited waited waited came ICE day~ why the *** doesnt the ??? pop at I-6?? <_> what the hell am i sopose to do??!? wait till next windday?!?!
0/4. That's right, I've completed the entire ordeal 4 times, and still don't have a ring to show for it.
On 2 of those attempts I was able to dig up the treasure on the same day I traded the items to the Goblin, but on the other 2 occasions the ??? didn't appear until the next game day. My treasure spots have been at I-6 twice, once at F-11, and once at K-7.
I've never bothered to check the moon phase when I dig it up. Does that seriously have anything to do with it? At any rate, I've pretty much had it with this quest. Unless anybody has any advice on something I'm doing wrong, I probably won't be attempting it again. Thanks.

K, listen up. For all those who have had trouble trying to find the ??? spawn point at the NE corner of the Yuhtunga Jungle map, I have found it. It spawns near the ??? for the Nasus Bees. The edge of the cliff that you're standing on when you're in the ??? area forms a sort of right angle if you look at it from above (i.e looking at it on the map).
At the north end of the east side of the cliff wall there's a rock. On the west side of the rock, I found the Mermaid Ring Quest ??? point. I arrived in the area, a little after 20:00 on watersday (the day before windsday) and there wasn't anything there. So i ran around and killed stuff and checked the area for ??? spots in between kills and happened upon the ??? point on the west side of the rock mentioned above. I didn't /clock it right when I saw it because I was too excited about finding it (i've been doing mermaid quest for weeks now, this first time), but I looked at /clock a little later, and I surmise that I found the ??? at 12:00 on Windsday, though I don't know what time exactly it appeared. Please rate up if this helps you, oh and I got the ring btw ^^. have a good one.

What was the moon phase when you got it?
What color pants were you wearing too?
And did you have fish for lunch?

My question is where is the goblin?? I haven't retrieved the items yet, not one (just got to lvl 43) so, do I have to get the items, and then look for the goblin in yuhtungha jungle, or should there already be a NPC goblin there?? thanks for the help!
The Goblin NPC is in (H-6) of Yuhtunga Jungle he's hiding behind a rock, that sneaky **** -_-.
Also he only appears on Windsdays.

Paladin 61 just kill about 200 springs and 60 creeks no items. rather farm the 400k and buy damn thing for ninja than do this again about 8 hours to waist.
I was on the same boat as you. Got the other 3 mermaid items and could not get a drop from the creek sahagins after killing 100+ (shall shells are decent money and the seashells were good for leveling bonecraft to 7, so I'm not complaining). Finally, I gave up and decided to sub THF to see if TH1 would help. Think it dropped in less then 10 kills. Maybe it was coincidence, but I think I'll stick with THF sub to farm these next time.
1/1 for mermaid ring ^^

I've done this quest a total of 4 times now, drop rate of the ring for me is 3/4 so i guess you could say i've been pretty lucky.
There isnt much that hasnt been said about this quest but in my own experience, i've had the ring drop all 3 times when i found and opened the chest on the night of Windsday from 20:00-4:00. Moon phase has been different all times i got it so im not sure if it has anything to do with that, although im willing to bet if you find the ??? and open the chest the SAME day you turn in the items to the goblin, you'll have a higher chance of getting the Mermaid Ring.
This is my own speculation, im skeptical whether or not it has anything to do with the drop rate but i'll continue to experiment with this quest, as these rings are 600k on my server and im making mucho gil doing it ^^

Isn't there a quest in Kazham that has something to do with you paying a bunch of money for a treasure map that seems useless. Does that tag with this quest when you're sent to dig up the so called "treasure"?

I have the same problem with the NE corner ???. It has never spawned and I spent at least 5 hour hours there. Maybe there is a bug with that spot after the last update.... don't know.

I've been having the same problem as the other 2, about the spot in the far NE corner of the map where the other ??? is at for some type of other quest. I've been camping this spot for 5 hours, and still no pop on the actual ??? that I need. Can anyone help me out?
wheres the quest start, basic information please ^^

Guys this quest has been really good to my partner
and I. We've done this quest 5 times with 3 rings.
It really helps to know your way around the jungle
so you can find the ???. Also the ??? de-spawns and re-spawns, so just be patient and it will come. The last time we did the quest, it took about 3 hours to get the 3 regular body parts.
We came back the next day, and after 3 rounds of killing the place holder, the NM spawned and dropped. Maybe we're lucky, but we seem to be doing really well with it. i Hope some of this helps. Good luck!! :P
