AWSOME LUCK!

I was standing there as my bst leveling him up. My vulture was killing a lizzie. Vulture killed it then *POP* the leapin Lizzy spawns. I ******* myself cause i was only level 6 and it i think is level 10. I heasitated for about 5 seconds then i sent my vulture at him and that took about 2 seconds (And there was a PAL in AF that diddn't get it first. My vulture died within seconds. The lizzie was hitting me for 22 I was hitting it for 6. At least 6 people were watching me die. All of a sudden, right when i was /hel far away from typing /help to ***** them all for not helping me. A Cure II comes on me from a friend (I knew he was in Bastock but i had no idea he was camping lizzy) he says inv me. I would have taken at least 10 mins to kill it so i did (he also had a 30 thf friend helping him). They each got in 1 hit. And then... BOOTS we were so happy. We split the money 3 ways ^^. Anyway it was the most exciting thing i have ever done in FFXI!!! It was awesome!!!

do these really sell 4 200k?? why??
RE: boots
# May 29 2004 at 10:30 PM Rating: Decent
Yes Leaping Boots Really sell For 200k because you can only get them from Leaping Lizzy And They Kinda Hard To Get And Is Used For Synthesis.
HOLY S**T

Okay... because this story is so amazing, I have got to share it with you guys. I was camping Lizzy tonight, trying to get the Leaping Boots for my Dragoon. After pulling a train, I was killing all the lizards w/ some other people joining in for the fun, when I see her spawn right behind them all.

My heart starts racing as I rush over, thinking "Someone has to have seen her by now!" but I ended up claiming her w/ a provoke. The battle was short lived, seeing as I had lvl 30 Warrior job at the time. Anyway, I kill and and all she drops is a tail and skin.

So, I do a little /em cry and say "no boots." About 30 seconds later, I get a /tell from one of the people in the area saying "You looking for the boots?" I replied "Yep, and I'm actually gonna use them too!" to which he replies "You can have mine."

My jaw HIT the floor. This guy just offered me boots that go for about 200k on my server. He's gotta be joking, or he'll put them in the trade window and close it or something, just to irk me. But I wanted to see, so he told me to come to him and after finishing up a few lizards, I did so. He traded with me, put the boots in there, and actually ACCEPTED the trade. All he said was, "Now, don't let anyone ever talk bad about me :)" I just about sh*t myself!

I told him I will eventually pay him back (and I mean it too), though payments will probably be whenever I have the cash to do so. He just shrugged it off like it was nothing, said we should party sometimes and went and bought himself another pair!

I'm still in shock over the whole thing, but it has to have been the nicest thing anyone could ever have done for me on this game at this point. I mean, he essentially saved me hours of camping or 200k gil.

So, I'm currently sitting in my mog house, wearing the boots, thinking "My god..." I'm just amazed and in shock.

Check this out!!! I logged on the other day and guess who popped in front of my face???None other than Leaping Lizzie!!! So I immediately hit provoke(which pissed off mage who had been waiting all day for spawn...u snooze u lose)and killed her...and BAM!! Leaping Boots dropped on first kill!!!!Pretty easy battle for a lvl 14 Warrior...didn't even havce to use my 2-hour on her,but had my TP at 300% and used Raging Axe which hit for about 150..Anyways..needless to say i was ecstatic about boots..gonna keep em till i need the 200k..

You can't start with 300% TP if you just logged in right away. You always start with 0% TP each time you log in. Plus in order to have around 300% TP you have to have fought others monsters. So your story doesn't hold water.

Heh, a little harsh perhapes...? "Just logged in" to me is 5-10 min.. Plenty of time to get 300%tp. No need to be rude.
No boots :(

I've run across her once before; got really excited and ran over to claim her. Did it, and beat her and the nearby lizard that linked easily, but no drop dispite my Treasure Hunter ability (I was lvl 17 at the time). : /

Got very lucky, started to camp, and 30 minutes in lizzy spawned. I check my wide scan every 3 seconds, about as fast as u can go scrolling down the list. I see lizzy, track, and she is very close to me, no body has her yet. I go to pull out my boomerang, to far away, step a little closer, still to far away. By the time I actually get my boomerang out and get lizzy, ive been staring at her for 15 seconds, and no body got here yet. I kileld her and got the boots, sold em for 245k on Seraph, yay.

Heres a idea: Go farm something other than NMs. Some people need that **** too you freakin greedy *******. I need a pair and its freakin ******** like you that prevent me from gettin them. God i wish they would make them nondropable so ******** like you dont camp like crazy. You ruin it for everyone. Go make a respectable living and quit being gay.

Here's an idea.. you can give all of your fire crystals to the people that need them for synthing instead of selling them. Don't sell that lower level armor you got from a drop.. give it away to people that need it.

Oh wait, I bet you don't do that. People need to buy the things you sell, so here's an idea: BUY your boots if you're sick and tired of competing with other people for Lizzy. Nobody is "preventing" you from getting these boots. You have just as much of a chance as anyone else, so stop your whining and learn how to be a better, non-complaining player.

And.. "nondropable"? So that would mean you could only buy them, since they don't drop. So why don't you just go do what you said you wish you had to.. BUY THEM.
RE: I got mine
# Apr 27 2004 at 1:35 AM Rating: Excellent
I give the lower level armor I get from a drop to people that I run into or just drop them, do the same with fire crystals because they clog up my inventory I think. My point is that I wouldnt buy them, I would camp them which I dont really get what it has to do with what he said.

Perhaps you can't see the message I was referring to. It was rated down fairly low, so perhaps your filter settings don't allow you to see it. I was referring to:

Hmmm maybe it is just me but I was camping Lizzy a while ago, I saw the thing spawn, went running, but I was beaten there by a little taru who killed it quickly and got the boots. I cheered for the little guy because this was his first time camping it (It was mine too) and it was good to see him get it instead of a lvl 75THF/RNG that had been camping it for hours and getting almost every spawn. Anyway, about 20 minutes later I had enough. I started to head back when *Pop* Leaping Lizzy spawns right in front of me, I killed it and I got a pair of boots for myself. ^^

Nice! Just goes to show that you shouldn't get angry if someone gets to your nm first... you never know when it's going to spawn again!

The lizz is WAY too overcamped... ive camped him 3 times and never even fought him yet... people need to stop hunting the lizz for the money and actually use the damn boots.
RE: Gayness
# Apr 15 2004 at 1:43 PM Rating: Decent
I camped the lizard for an hour, got my boots and am still using them. Since I'm an Elvaan Dark Knight, I really need the dex, so I don't plan on selling them soon. The money is tempting I admit, but I'd blow it all on dumb stuff, so the boots are more useful to me.

What is the big deal with these boots anyway? do 3 dex and 3 agi do realy that HUGE diference?

Its a very big difference when you use GA. Leapin boots are a must

+3 in a stat will make a difference, yes, but the primary thing is that this is the highest boost for these stats in boot formats through at least lvl 40. If you're going for that +15 or +20 to DEX or AGI, this and the Hairpin are basically necessities; the +3 in and of itself "isn't much", but it adds up with the rest.
RE: What is the big deal?
# Apr 15 2004 at 1:46 PM Rating: Decent
The dex increase is huge when you compare to races. I'm using the boots as an Elvaan Dark Knight. When you combine my rings and the DEX on these boots, my DEX is very close to a Mithra's DEX. Elv STR is useless if they can't hit anything, and that's what Mithras are best at, so if you combine an Elv STR and a Mithra DEX, you can get one mean melee character.
rng sub
# Mar 15 2004 at 12:01 AM Rating: Decent
By the way...ranger helps a lot...just do rng and sub it to have widescan...you will double your chance of getting to lizzy first!

I've killed Lizzy a Grand total of twice. The first time was a complete accident, I was on my way to the Dunes, and I stopped to type a long reply to something a friend had told me.

A lizard spawns right next to me. I was only a level 15 THF with no sub at the time, so I hit the macro for Sneak Attack, and hit it for 76 damage. Only then do I noticed it saying "Leaping Lizzy hits Sothis for 6 damage." and the shock kicked in. I beat it (losing about 75 HP in the process), with no drop. This level 50-something ranger comes running up to me while I'm healing and asks if I got the boots. A quick "No." sends him on his way.

Somehow, I ended up meeting a stranger who gives me a Link Pearl, and I end up partying with him in an attempt to have a better chance of getting lizzy instead of the level 67 Paladin in AF standing nearby.

About an hour later, my new-found friend gets bored, and runs off to level Dark Knight. About 3 minutes later, Lizzy Spawns in the exact place it had spawned the first time. I hit it with my Boomerang, and start hacking away, with like four people standing by (most likely hoping I'd die.... ). I kill it, and noticed it drops a crystal, a lizard tail, and... I squeak. Leaping Boots. w00t. Next step: Rabbit charm.
11th time's the charm ;)
# Mar 14 2004 at 12:50 AM Rating: Decent
WOOOOO...was about to leave (2 weeks and no boots) and checked scan list ...and *poof* it was there =D right in front of me...i killed it for the 11th time i think...and then i *lept* back to bastok in brand new boots =D
um

leaping lizzy
lotted nm, so the best idea is to go out there and kill a ton of lizards, believe me, thats how some people are able to make her spawn 3-4 times in an hour
Can you have 2 on you?
# Mar 01 2004 at 9:41 AM Rating: Decent
So can you have 2 boots on you at once? i just see Rare not EX
RE: Can you have 2 on you?
# Mar 01 2004 at 6:49 PM Rating: Decent
Yes you can have 2 on you. But, it is a really rare drop off lizzy, so having 2 on you would be... hmmm... Either that you have them equiped and just want the money out of a second pair... or that, your keeping a second pair cause your mother told you its not good to keep your shoes on all day, or again that after a couple of hours, your feet tend to be smelly?
m(_ _)m sry about that

ehh....don't listen to the above post. You cannot have 2 on you. 'RARE' means you can only have one of that item on a character, this includes your mog house, storage, inventory, and for-sale on the AH. So no, you may not have a 2nd pair for one character. the 'EX' on an item means it cannto be traded or sold to another player through any means.

you can have more than one, just not in your inventory, or storage at once. I got 2 pairs in 2 hours one day, and one was in the AH in bastok and one was on me.

you can have more than 1, but good luck :P
RE: Can you have 2 on you?
# Mar 09 2004 at 10:52 AM Rating: Default
actualy if you have a rare item on ah it is possible to go get another of the same thing, or if you put it in the mailbox, that works too
