Leaping Boots  

I just killed it, 46thf/20nin, and i got the boots. there was only one other guy camping, and i only camped for about 20 mins. easiest money i've ever made.

Hey, Ive been siting in gastagberg for-ever!! and I cant find its spawn point. People keep on saying its in J-5 or something but i sit there and it doesent show. Someone tell me where the hell it spawns?

I also heard it shows only on fire days.

I've killed it 3 times, but no luck on the boots. Everytime I am camping it, a bunch of high lvls come and start taking over. It sucks. I'll keep trying it though, because 4th times the charm.

You guys do know that the drops are based on level right? If it's a lvl 10 monster for example you'll have a much better drop rate if you are lvl 10 and under. You guys going to camp with lvl 50 thiefs and crap isn't doing any good... at that level the drop would be rare and hardly worth the time. Thats why you see most of the lower level people saying they just happened to run by her, kill her, and get the drop... cause they are around the same level as her. The drop isn't random, no.. it's all completely based on level. It's probably some calculation like your level divided by the mobs level = drop rate (im sure it's something a lot more confusing than that but you get what I mean).

I walked up on her yesterday as my lev 10nin/5war and had to fight her with with 130 health. I got her down to about 1/4 life while i was almost dead. I had some high levels just watching me, no one one healed me selfish bastards. I tried to use kamakazi at the end but my macro was screwed up so I died while everyone sat and waited for me to. The next guy killed in one hit and stole my boots. I swear some people on ifrit have no decency. Leaping boots are not worth being a jerk. I killed her 2 other times with no drop. Ill buy em an laugh at the fools who wait all day and night by their pc for her.

Kruelknight Im not really that mad at you for getting them. I am mad at the stupid little Japanese Taru rdm that let me die and raised me after lizzie was killed. I wish he had just left me there. The raise was like a kick in the crotch. I appreciate the raise, but why no heal. I saw Lizzie first and would have healed anyone else if the coin was turned. Just Venting.

Ok I am about to go to sleep I just got done with a 19 hour straight Leaping lizard camp marathon. I am a level 45 thief/ranger. I have treasure hunter 2 but this did not seem to help.
I sat on rock and used scan til it popped, then hit flee ran to it. I had a few bumps in the road though I got it twice with no drop. I was beat to it cause it spawned by someone a few times. The thing I want to say is how I was used. I had a thief/warrior standing next to me for an hour I was wondering whats he doing by me. The lizzy popped I hit flee, he did also I ran to it and hit attack he had followed me and provoke it away. I could not believe it he used me to find it and stole it from me. I camped for 19 hours with all the advantages and did not get the boots. Just to let you know the difficulty of obtaining these.

on lakshmi there are no people above level 8 there when i went down to bastok with my level 15 sandoria war. didnt see him spawn but no one else there could beat him lol. i wouldave stayed longer but have to continue buying saparas in bastok for 800 then selling them in san doria for 2000 lol. might go back sometime though.....

Titan sever is a joke. It seem people come like clock work about every hour and a half to 2 hours. While there is to lvl 70 japanese thf/rangers sitting there scanning the hole time. The only way your going to get the lizzard if it spawns on you. It must be nice to be able to even have a chance.

it helps if you have flee when its really crowded. Also have rng subbed at least lvl 4 just keep scanning the area and when it spawns track it hit flee and hope no one saw it spawn. 99% of the time youll get to LL before anyone else does unless they accidently stuble across it first

Does anyone know if rare items are affected by a thief's treasure hunter skill? Because if that's the case I will wait until my warrior gets lvl 30 or switch to my thief in order to increase the chances of the drop when I got lizzy hunting.

Valefor = 150k for these boots, nice

Update on my continued luck (again, lack thereof):
I've put in over 24 RL hours hunting this thing and killed it about 15 times. NO DROP. :(

The previous day I was searching for about an hour and had no luck of finding Lizzy, but the next day, I was chasing these monkeys (no clue what they do) and was at F-8 and decided to give it another try. A few other people were there waiting also. I think if you kill all the rock lizards, Lizzy shows up because there was one guy rounding up all the rock lizards (hit them once and disengaged and repeated process to all lizards in area then finished them all off together), I spotted Leaping Lizzy near the campfire where the quadav spawn and I was able to nab her before anyone else, and I'm proud to say I actually got leaping boots the first time.

Farming won't hurt the economy, they adjust it behind the scenes so it doesn't go out of balance. I've seen indirect evidence that the administrators buy items and then destroy them. Several times rare items have appeared at the AH and just vanished with no buyer listed and never to reappear at any AH. Additionally, drops should always cause items to become more common and therefore drive the price down with or without farming. This is what always happens in an MMORPG, if it's not happening it means that Square is taking steps to prevent it.

Farming is just working IMHO, it's another way of making money, there is nothing wrong with it.
