don't buy them. don't buy them. don't buy them.

if you need snipers ring go hunt a archers ring and have it crafted. they are at 800k again and will be at 1m by the end of the week .... again. and snipers will be at 1.1m..... again. don't support the gil farmers go hunt the ring if you need a snipers ring.

GILFARMERS are people who farm for gil.
Gil Sellers are the ones that overcamp NM points and stock tons of drops and monopolise the market for them.
Gil sellers lunch break?

I'm from the Gilgamesh server, current value of these is about 500k. Well my LS started a new static and I just happen to be a NIN in it, and decided I'm going to need to farm frequently to afford this job.

So first night I ask 2 of my friends if they'd like to see if there is any chance at beating all the gil sellers in Ordelle for the Archer's Rings. We decide to stick to the east platform (smaller of the 2) and farm Mal vines like mad off the stroper's, and pray for some luck with a Stroper Chyme. Well the first night we're there only 2 of us go, myself as a 50DRK/THF, and Skinmask as a 50BLM/WHM. I don't know about other servers, but on Gilgamesh the main gil sellers are the Hairs and the Bugs. Now several other groups have come along, but nothing crazy.

First night:

Only Goldbug is on the platform. Skin and I are slow and don't know spawn points however, and are farming the vines, clusters, and slime oils. I'm also stealing silver beastcoins off gobs as I am a goldsmith. As expected the bug has the /targetnpc; /ja "Provoke" <t> macro going, so if Chyme spawns near him he gets it fast. Skin and I kill a couple Chymes just because it would spawn all the way across the platform from the gil seller, no drop on 3 kills I believe.

2nd night:

This night seemed lame. Gil sellers were doing the rotation of spawns and running from platform to platform competing for the spawns. This night Skin and I are there, and our buddy Das comes along for a bit as 50PLD/WAR. After a while of not having a prayer at spawn, we all make the /targetnpc macro, Skin and I use Stun, Das uses voke. Well we managed to beat the gil sellers about 3-4 times, and Das was spamming his middle finger macro and we were all shouting obscene things at the gil sellers hoping we could get a GM called on us. If a GM was to suspend any of us for cussing out gil sellers, I would quit the game on the spot. Either way, 8pm PST rolls around, and suddenly all the gil sellers just stop. Literally, they all just stood there and did nothing at all. A full hr went by, and we got all the spawns, and even 1 of the ARcher rings. AFter that hr they started coming back, and we left.

3rd night:

Same thing happened. Oh, and the Hair's taking the spawns off to the secret room to slow kill it to space out the spawns is BS. So since that was their goal, we started fast killing any Chyme we got. Unloaded with massive nuking to kill it asap, and mess up their timing. Either way, 3rd night they surrounded the 3 of us, and we were about to give up, and went to the west platform. Sure enough, 8pm PST rolls around and they all stop again for a full hr. We got another archer's ring, and haven't returned since. We sold 1 for 490k and 1 for 500k and split it between the 3 of us. We will be back, but if anybody wants to test this, go ahead, I saw it happen twice, but who knows.

Good luck to all non gil-sellers

New patch = New spawn points. Find em for yourself but the best thing is more than one can spawn at a time. Happy hunting. Got the ring on my 5th try. next 34 = jack squat.

OK Everybody you’ve got 2 listen to this 1.

Now im a lvl 30 Drg On Midgardsormr (bad spelling) and I began to save up for 2 of these babies last week. While I was farming last night I had a friend check the price 4 me in Jeuno. Now they were 800k a week ago. So he tells me that they r only 300-350k! I almost passed out. Now there were 2 in stock so I ran up 2 jeuno as fast as I could. I bid on them with 500k at topz, but I knew this was 2 good 2 b true. Well I was unable 2 buy it, so I checked the price history again. Now I Know this is used to synth Sniper’z ringz so it wouldnt b uncommon for somebody 2 buy 5 or 6 of them. I also knew that it was heavily camped by bots and gil sellerz. But, there were only about 5 names on the list between buyerz and sellerz. Now with multiple sellerz, why would 3 or 4 different people sell something worth 800k for 350k?

Here’s my thoughts on it, Somebody probably more than 1 person got pissed off because of those gil sellerz pricing these so high. They probably put up the ring and bought it with one of their mule’s and kept doing this until it filled the entire price history list. YES! Some1 has finally struck back at those gil sellerz. My thoughts on this is any1 from midgard planning 2 buy this... DON’T! The gil sellerz will have 2 price it as low as the price history list. People its time we get Revenge on these Gil sellerz. Now I Don’t remember all the names on the list, it must have been 5 or 6 people. Whoever did this I congratulate you. Whoever did this please let us know who u r. Now 2 every1 on Midgard DON’T BUY THIS YET! Let the price drop. Has any1 else noticed this??? IF some1 could explain this 2 me it would b great. Plz /tell neithan on the game if u kno wut is going on. Thanks[/Black]

for the love of god SHUTTUP... nobody will price them lower because just like the gill sellers people are tryng to make money for other items, and the more they sell these rings form, the better the gear they can get.
ph and there 300-400k on Odin
RE: Striking Back
# Dec 11 2004 at 4:21 PM Rating: Good
hmmm well lucky you they're 300-400k on Odin. imagine paying a million dollars for it. Can you? no. well people who farm this thing and sell it I dont have a problem with. But if you were to look at the price history you can see that its the same people over and over again. hmmm i doubt people need that much money. Before this patch bots had this thing owned. Now you are able to farm this thing thank You SE. and uhmm darkbanisher STFU
#REDACTED, Posted: Dec 22 2004 at 12:48 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i can very much imagine paying a million for one, thats about how much any of the great gear costs which is why nobody will price these lower , because there trying to save for things like scorpion harness, or haubergeon, peacock charm etc...

Camped this thing for 4 hrs.... killed it about 13 times and no drop. Quetzalcoatl peeps run a train on that *#@($ Nuki. HE/SHE/IT needs to be taught a lesson, she ran a train on me cause she got tired of seeing me get it. Gil Sellers plz change to a damn different game, we dont want u here. If u have a THF with TH1 or TH2 bring it along, it really helps. But watch out for Gil Sellers... they gots this place overcamped.

lol man i feel your pain ><
but from what i have learned, if you make friends with one of the gil sellers in the area you are farming .... they help you out ^^ i have had some of them help on mission / quests and even have them try and give me items for free ^^
and another thing to ... it helps to know Chinese. I had one of the gil sellers get pissed at me for stealing his mob. well after that he started talking 5h1t to me .... it was funny. i had a LS friend translate what he said to me... well lets just say ... what i said to him was almost as bad as what he said to me (sorry if this makes some of you mad, i am part Chinese too) i told him "You should stop playing this game and go back to making my shoes"..... yah ... he got mad ... then i told him i was Chinese and that i knew what he said ... after that he shut up. well luck to all of you camping the ring .... the gil sellers are still there .. and the price is still the same.. {Take care}

I'm a 50rng/19thf right now and can take one of these down very easily. I would guess a 45rng/15thf could do it no problem with some bloody bolts. If you're really worried, take a friend along for backup :)

I haven't looked up the price of the Archer's Rings on Asura, but there's always gilsellers bot-camping Chyme, which in turn caused the price for Sniper's Rings to skyrocket.

Lousy gilsellers. >.<

RE: call help
# Feb 02 2005 at 7:38 PM Rating: Decent
its not an nm the spawn time is 9 mins i believe... the drop is about 1/17. any ways.. clock the chymes time of death )Vanadiel time) and add 5:09 to it... that will be the next spawn.. get a pt together and run to all the spawns and as long as u know the times ull be set.

is this ring worth it at all to use at lvl 30?

I'm a mithra monk, so for the time being, my acc is ok, but as a samurai, would this ring be better than a dex ring? keeping the prices of both items in mind
RE: Usage of this ring..
# Nov 11 2004 at 2:34 PM Rating: Decent
Accuracy is the most important thing to a Samurai. Accuracy helps you to score a hit to the target. Dex is partial accuracy and critical rate. My old saying was "what good is higher str and critical rate if you can't even hit the target?" My advice is... use these till lvl 40 then upgrade to Sniper's.
Impossible

OK. Me and my level 45 thief buddy were camping this guy today and only killed it 2 maybe 3 times, can't remember exactly. The thing that pisses me off is that I was 0/14 on it alone... Anyway, this drop is rare as hell and I hate this damn thing.

OK, I can solo it but it's a pain in the *** to get. You might wanna bring a high lvl thief friend with you (45+) for treasure hunter 2. I subbed warrior to get it with provoke and I'm 0/14 on this thing so far.

Is this really that easy to grab? with a 12 minute spawn time i might just dedicate 2-3 weeks to camping these. I need money to start my new char in crafting and equipment so this might just help. I got a thf sub, lucky egg, and 4-leaf. Havent updated my sig btw, im about a lvl 45 pld now. Oh, and if you eat the egg or bud is it supposed to help the drop rate?
