Bounding Boots

There are so many things I've camped with desire in my heart, wanting nothing more than to get that drop. Heck, I went 1/55 on the Ivory Lizards for the Teleport-Yhoat scroll. Just now, though, I was in South Gustaberg goldfish scooping. Ran out of Super Scoops and decided I was bored, so I went running back to Bastok. Didn't really feel like warping back to Whitegate. Anyway, I decided to kill a group of lizards at the north end of the square Lizzy pops in, just in case. Since I have nothing better to do, I stick around to see what happens. Sure enough, five minutes later, Lizzy pops and I get the boots. I was RDM/BLM, so no Wide Scan or TH. Same thing happened with Monster Signa, which I also didn't care about. I'm telling you, the game senses desire. It can smell it on you.
{True Strike}. I've hunted LL on and off for 2 years and never got boots in all the kills which I've lost count of. Then this weekend on Nyzul Isle floor 2 LL is spotted, killed, drops the ??? boots, appraises to Bounding Boots and I roll 968. All I wanted was Nyzul floor 5, got Bounding Boots instead. Happy.

Man, I just started up FFXI again after not playing since that game came out. I played from the beginning, but then had to quit because of money issues. Recently me and two of my friends have restarted that game, and are doing quite well. Except that I decided to start up Thief again and hunt for the Bounding Boots.
Right now I'm 18thf/war and I am 0/19 on the boots in the last four days. After reading a lot of posts on this forum and hearing in game from other players on my Linkshell, and who are also hunting Lizzy, I've decided that there is a lot of wild speculation as to how to get Lizzy to spawn, and how to get the drop.
I've heard a lot of weird things like: while in S. Gustaberg you shouldn't use weapon skills at all because it decreases drop rate, it works better if you use all of your job abilities i.e. steal and sneak attack, and if you have under 50 HP the chances of a drop are much higher. All of it sounds like a bunch of BS to me, but I do know from experience that it is EXTREMELY beneficial to either have a friend that's a ranger to kill the Place Holders, or get wide scan yourself. Also, if anyone has any confirmed advice they'd like to give, please do so on here, or give me a /tell mirx on Cerberus.

Well you're all gonna love my story. I was level 15mnk with rng1 sub for widescan. so i was trawling through gustaberg looking at all the ******* high levels on /anon camping it, and was going to leave, but decided i would give them a challenge. My chances were pretty low considering my only way to claim was to attack, and i had no pebbles. But i stayed anyway. 15 minutes later, Leaping Lizzy on my wide-scan, locked on and followed the arrow on my compass. Nearly **** my pants btw. Got to the ****, unclaimed, attacked, and took about 5 minutes (or so it seemed to me) and then "Leaping Lizzy" turned red. MINE! killed with ease, You find a pair of Bounding Boots on Leaping lizzy. Shazam, 1/1 on one of the tightest NM's around. AV IT!

Decided that I'd finally pay LL a visit before work again cause i have nothing better to do before then. Taking my precious time walking to gustaberg i show up to the place with 2 other campers, and he poppes right before me, i claim him with voke, of course the gay thing dosent drop. discouraging other players with my claim, they walk off towards town sulking and calling me names. i stand on that dirty rock, y'know... the one next to that small mountain, and go afk reading all of these comments and then i decide to check widescan to find.... Leaping Lizzy exactly 5 minutes after my last kill (looking at the clock on my lappy). I decide to take a 2 minute stroll over to him to see a newbie run right by him with his weapon out... to kill a quadav lmfao ^_^! i fist fight with the ****, talking in say about how he isnt going to drop, walk away from the screen.... come ack to find this exact message...:

0/19 and still trying..
Had a THF AFK with TH3 and did about 4 kills... nothing. I'm thinking there is a little truth behind the "THF getting last hit" theory because this is a load of crap ! ^^/
GO LIZZY !!!!

Im a level 65 SMN/WHM, but I decide to level my mule as a DD characher, because, quite frankly there isnt enough space in my inventory for a load of DD gear. That said, my mule is a Mithra, no subjob , starting out as a warrior. I leveld to 10 on warrior in Windy and made my way to Gustaberg for the specific task of aquiring the boots. Ive been camping lizzy since last Saturday. In 3 hour stints. I have no ranger for widescan or thf for THF. So in 7 days ive spent about 21 hrs camping. I got the drop on my 5th kill - at level 16. Heres how it broke down
first 4 kills were at 13-15. I 2hrd just in case. I could not identify the PH so I basically just killed all Lizzys at above and below the lookout rock. It pops pretty much anywhere above where the crabs are and just above the rock. 4 kills no drop.
For those who find they are competing with high level rangers, I find the 4pm - 6pm (GMT im in Ireland) there is very little competition. My tactic was basically kill all lizzys and run around, making sure to check the small group of rocks SW of the lookout rock (it popped for me twice here).
The fifth kill popped at the lookout rock. No 2 hr this time, just beserk and 2 weapon skills. Pretty easy fight. I was level 16. No sub. No THF and I got the drop. Was insanely happy.
For those who are 0/10+ I feel bad for you, because I know how annoying this is. Especially when you see level 60+ with full af camping it. Personally I'm glad I never have to see that stupid Lizzard again.
I dont know if any of this info helps. I hope it does

I was camping LL last night, and was 0/5 thus far. I'm lucky that there are no campers around, catch LL and no drop, 0/6 -_-
I leave the area to go camp VE now, and after about 1 hr there I miss the claim as it's difficult to camp without flee or widescan for that particular NM. Now i'm discouraged and about to log but decide to come back and camp LL for one last go. This time there is me and one other there, though he is occupied with lvling as well. Leaping Lizzy pops right in my face, I get the claim, and at last the drop!!
It gets better though, as hours later I go back to Valkurm, and amidst about 6 people all over the VE area, I manage to get the claim, and Empress Hairpin as well!!
Bounding boots and Empress Pin in the same night is a pretty good day for me!

Was farming these tonight, and just when i was about to give up on the pop and log, LL shows up on widescan, and i flee + go for it. Just beat out a high lvl whm for the claim and finally got my boots! 1/3 {/joy}
BTW im a girl (Chrissty) i think my story is pretty bad! well here goes!!!!!
my b/f plays FFxi all the time so i got to use his char and get to no the game a bit and he brought me the game for me myself so i was lvling in south guttersberg (i hope its spelt right LMAO) and i was only lvl 8-9 and didnt no much about NM's then and i saw a lizzi saying Leaping lizzi, i thought at the time he was just another lizzi so i went 4 him (thinking i could ><) and he kicked my *** anyways after that i spoke to my b/f who then told me he was a NM and what he dropped so when i was about lvl 15-20 we decied to go and camp him to get the boots, we got him but with NO drop i was gutted coz the guy who came AFTER LL kicked my *** got the drop and DIDN'T even raise me >< so now between Me and my B/F we are about 0/45 so we just gave up on him now but everytime i go passed his spawn spot i always look out 4 him coz i would love a pair of those boots >< :(

So many stories that end in tragedy...For these boots. This is my story.
My brother's on. He went to have lunch so I asked him if he doesn't mind if I log onto my character. He says go ahead and I log in to find 3 others camping LL. All of them leave after 10 minutes (lol) and I'm left camping LL. I'm lvl 15 btw so I was reaaalllly skeptical about this. I had 15 min and soon those 15 min were up. I find myself playing 30 min and as soon as I'm about to log off a HUGE lizard pops on me and I go LEAPING LIZZY! However, a rock lizard was by it so I could've died so i waited. But then a lvl 14 SMN pulls the LL w/o a summon and guess what? The rock lizard links. Now he's trying to juggle the two w/o a smn and I'm standing there staring at him, wondering if I should help or not, since he did steal the NM. The SMN meanwhile loses courage and tries to go after the Rock Lizard and unclaims the LL. So i tap my Sneak Attack and smack that LL for 70 dmg, killing it and getting the boots. I end up typing OMG! I GOT THE BOOTS! MUHAHAAHAJA...Flaming soon followed <.<

its not a steal unless you spell the mob first,or have your sword out.
sitting on a knee afraid of a link at lvl 15 is slowwww.you didnt deserve the boots,and deserved to b flammed.

Oh, he really stole it alright... I'm surprised you have the nerve to label him as a THF when it sounds like you more or less used him to kill Lizzy.

I was running back from the dunes right after I hit 18 and I saw it floating around near the road ramp going up. I didn't know what it was at the time but I was like, "Weirdest Lizard name, ever." so I killed it and got the boots. A level 75 ran up to me and spammed, "u stole my nm n00b!" And... I don't speak ******, so I just kept running back to town and someone in my LS explained to me what I just did...
It was awesome.

Everyone here seems to have got the drop by latest 1/10 kills. I'm a 63 Thf so I've had TH2 quite a while. I camped LL 2wice before I had it with no drop and I am currently 0/16 kills. VE was 1/1 and Colin was 1/3 so it's not so bad outside S.Gustaberg but 0/16 on LL, and this is the single most important drop to me on the basis that I refuse to be called a Gilseller (Decent gear apparently makes you a GS on Remora) and rare/ex bounding boots will help to clear up rumours.
So I know you probably all want a pair of these, but if you see me camping maybe you could lend a hand- I'm worn out.
Now 0/18, got 2 straight claims and missed the 3rd (that didnt drop either)

lol I have the best story here. I've got a thf and so of course these bounding boots would help me out with the DEX. And I've always seen people with the bounding boots and kind of been envious. So just recently I decided to head over to Gustaberg and try finding Leaping Lizzy. I knew the general area where it popped, but that was about it. So I brought my level 44thf/nin and just wandered around for a while, not really knowing what the heck I was doing. I spent about 2 hours there and finally got onto the site here to find out how actually to do it. Reading through all the posts here I got discouraged 'cause I realized I would probably need ranger, which I have yet to get. So I was tired and decided to log out, with the plans to get ranger and level it the very next time I was on. Well a couple days later I log back in, checked a few surrounding lizards for poops and giggles, and there it was! Leaping Lizzy was right in front of me, not more than 10 seconds after I logged in! I hucked my boomerang at it and killed it very shortly. My first time ever finding Leaping Lizzy and ever attempting to fight it, it drops the Bounding Boots! 1/1! So yeah, I was pretty happy. No camping for me.

Missed a claim on LL by literally two seconds. A lev 75 pounced it just before I landed my Chi Blast. He got the boots x_x

ok so I see someone on airship with these so I wanted a pair. So I check on here where NM spawns and I go as NIN16/WAR8, I decide I will camp it later when I get 18. On my way to Dunes there it is!! killed it and got drop on first time!
I guess I'm just lucky lol
I guess I'm just lucky lol
I can't express the glee of finally being done with camping that annoying lizard. I think I went off with a 1/6, with a couple claims lost. Pretty easy to get if you know what you're doing. Usually competition is a few slow newbs, and maybe another veteran character.
The repop time on LL is pretty random, seeing as there are two possible PHs with two separate pops.
Good luck!

I never have camped Leaping Lizzy. I just keep an eye out for it when running by that area, or do Wide Scan. Anyway, I decided to go farming this morning, so I put on my THF30/WHM14 and headed out from Bastok Market. I was running along killing the odd Sappling as I went. As I passed the Spawn area I noticed a girl running from two lizzards. She died and I found that one of the lizzards chasing her was Leaping Lizzy. There was some other guy there, so I cast Dia on the hapless Lizzy and got the claim. It was already at about 20% HP remaining, so it didn't take long for it to go down. BAM! Got the Bounding Boots. 1 for 1 I'm done with that mob.
Maybe it was karma rewarding me. Once before I had been leveling my WHM in that area. Leaping Lizzy poped right in front of me, but I was only level 10. I knew there was no way I could have beat it, so I /shout its location. People didn't beleave me at first because I had been messing around going /say hits Leaping Lizzy for 36 points of damage. They were like "Stop lieing". One of the campers came over killed it and got the drop.
