Ok im camping as 75PLD/15THF Gimped i know >.> and i was wondering if this is a lottery spawn or if it just pops does the PH have to be down or it wont pop? im just asking cause i dont do NM's very often but i need this for endgame stuff... BTW this is GODLY for PLD/DNC (solo) i never use my MP except for protect/shell ^^ also nebody on Odin wanna get together for Bombqueen Ring and or Gigant manle runs? /tell Dragonaith ^^
I camped for this many years back as 75Pld/37War (way overkill). Took me quite a few days or camping and my first time camping...it pop on the 21th hour, which means I was staring at the PC screen for almost 21 hours too. It's a lottery drop, took me 4 kills (i think) before I got the drop.
Not sure if it's still as much camped as before....but its worthwhile the time.
A very very nice earring that rivals the Cassie, and it's free!
It may be completely useless for Aht Urhgan, but in Dynamis and HNM this earring is invaluable for a PLD.
Just got this today; 1/2 on the NM. I got the ToD thanks to a THF in my LS who happened to stumble across him by chance and get the drop, so I was there the next day with no competition, but didn't get the drop.
NM is very easy, and is easily soloed by a 75PLD/37WAR. He has the standard Ant attacks, so its worth taking an Echo Drop or two in case he decides to silence you. Beware that he also has Eagle Eye Shot, however with Sentinel up he only nabbed me for 50-60 dmg both times.
On the second attempt I claimed again, and kited him around a bit until the same THF who got me the ToD came along to help out. With TH2 I got the drop. ^.^
A huge thank you to Erdekaiser, couldn't have gotten this earring without you! <3
I want this for pup as i have lvl 3 MP merits right now lol and its just going to waste when i play pup/thf or pup/mnk. this would be a perfect earring for pup. ima try and camp this fooker @_@
Sorry but um you non-HNM kiddies need to just stick to ur Drone Earrings if u like this Earring kicks with a Cassie, if not region control Throw on a Pigeon's +1. HNM is all about the HP no amt of VIT is gonna keep you from still taking that 1000+ DMG off a critical hit from one. The extra 40 HP could mean a saved life from luck or death by dot. Its a very bad *** earring for NIN and PLD at HNM level
Its not bad for THF but macro it in, there's better **** out there but if u a gear *****, why not.
heres the deal... im right now at this very moment in Kirin's room, setting up my gear for the fight, and then i check the region info to see if i can use the HP bonus on it, All right its under windurst control, and im a Bastokan. So as the earring says i should get 40MP converted into 40HP, then.....why the hell im not getting the bonus! ><
This earring is pretty rocking in several ways. First off, it is the highest def earring I have been able to find. It's also one of the very few earrings with dex, also like Pilferer's (which requires /thf for 2dex) and harvester's (which is pricey). 40mp=>hp is pretty rocking when it adds def, dex, and agi.
Also I believe that sneak attack and trick attack are both effected equally by dex and agi respectively. Since using SA without TA is pretty uncommon in xp parties a net stat change of 3(agi) is better then a net stat change of 2 (dex/agi). This is assuming that each adds *3 per stat. Personally after playing rdm and thf my inv is normally 50/60 of solid swap gear.
Also hp is uber, esp for taru plds. A taru pld with more hp means they don't get one shotted by some nasty mobs. Spending 50mp and then switching to this can mean the best of both worlds too. Gogo gear swapping. ...I don't have a problem... just cause I have 4 entire sets of armor for all my characters just means I am prepared!!!!!
Its crap for thf since they could just wear cheapy drones, and for other melees any attack+ earring is much better.
Or, I could pick up 1 extra DEX, and lose 2 AGI.
DEX effects Sneak Attack far more than AGI effects Trick Attack. Why don't you level your Thief high enough to get Trick Attack before you say how gimpy a piece of equip is for a job that you don't have the essential abilities for yet? Hmm? Sounds like a plan. Ready, set, go!
Trick attack damage is nowhere near as strong as sneak attack damage until you get to lv 60 and even then Trick is generally lower. As far as wearing attack over a dex earring, 5 points of attack is equivelent to one dex when you're talking about SA or TA DE or SB. However, Viper Bite is ATK modified so less attack would be more equivelent to one dex. In other words, for a full SATA DE or SB this earring is better than any attack earring available.
This is an awesome earring for PLD, particularly in end-game activities, those of you level 30 PLDs that said it sucked need to level a bit before you critique gear. I wouldn't use it to exp simply because Drones are more effective for shield blocking/skilling, however, I intend to get one and you can bet I'll wear it for HNM/sky events.

Posted:Aug 15 2005 at 10:07 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) This item its stupid. Its crap for thf since they could just wear cheapy drones, and for other melees any attack+ earring is much better. And pld DO NEED SOME MP. This would be good for pld only if:
samuraiking and tvirus, you both need to lvl a bit before you can call something useless. this earring is gold to a high lvl PLD tanking an HNM. it would be worth just slightly less than a cassie earring (4 million on valefor) and probably sell constantly. once you've tanked a god maybe then you'll understand.
its not ******* pointless... as a taru pld lv 51 i have around 430mp.. i dont need 430mp.. but 40more hp would be a gift... heck... gimme a cassie earring and ill use it in exp
this is pointless even for taru ....if u have that much mp as u say u need all of it for cures with ur low VIT ....i dont think physical earings are good either considering it gives u 25 hp at the cost of 25mp ....25mp cud give u a cure II wich is like 90hp ....a drone earing is much better or the +2 VIT one.
Samurai, I do understand where you coming from but you need to understand. Cure II may cure more HP [around 80~90HP] but you need to understand, having more HP than MP is way important to Taru PLD [maybe for some others race too] since you may fail casting cure when the mob attack you and this extra 40HP may save your a$$
With lesser MP doesnt mean that you will have less cure, with Taru PLD, you will always having loads of extra mp to cast cure not mention when you will get refresh when you reach lvl 40+ party.
This not only give extra 40HP, it give extra dex and agi.. Its luxury for other job too.. Planning to get it for my whm and use it when i'm soloing some mob ^_^
Every time I camp this guy some new and toataly random RDM comes along to camp with me. Why is it every RDM think they must have this item XD.
0/1 on him now. Insainly easy to solo as 75NIN/1RNG. From my guess he may be around the same level as the other RNG ants in the area, just with the tipical NM HP and ATTK.
V/r Trick
(Edit: More like 10 or so levels above his counterparts. 20 exp for a level 75 solo. 0/3 on it, likes to pop right at 21 hours)
This thing has Bard steamed sprouts written all over it, no other slot if great for bard at 40 besides +3 or 4 mp and maybe a def 1. Defence 6 +dex +agil and +40 hp -40 mp would be awesome.
I dont need much mp, it gets to the point that I generate too much hate curing myself that the mandags just wont leave me alone, so now I dont cure myself anymore.

you think the rdm or whm is gonna keep curing you without draining there mp to nothing? you need teh mp to cure yourself sporty.
"Special" stats are often missing when a new item is first posted to Allakhazam. The problem has something to do with their data entry system, and is usually corrected quickly. Until then, here is your missing stat:
Outside of your own nation's control, converts 40 MP to HP.
This looks like a great item for thieves, in my opinion. DEX + and AGI + are always welcome when playing as one. But the item is still new, and there is a :40 mark among its stats. If anyone has obtained or does obtain this piece of equipment, please post to varify the stats on it. If you can place a picture as well, you have my great thanks and gratitude, i might want to get this soon, and i appreciate your help^ ^
The stats are, as some have said, lvl 40, def 6, agi +1, dex +1, in areas outside nations control: converts 40 mp to hp.
It is good thf gear. I managed to get one the day after the last 18 hour patch (ie when it was introduced).
The nm is a rng type antican, but it significantly harder than those around it. It aggroed a lvl ~62 whm who was afk, I was whm71/rng24 (some friends were hunting bloodtear on my account) and I was going to change to /blm to warp to jeuno.
It overpowered me. I did not have hexa strike at the time, and w/o blink the arrows were hitting me for about 120-160 w/ protect 4. I called in some help from a ~62whm/3rng who was also farming and a 74brd/37whm (already in the zone). The 3 of us killed it easily, no exp gained. The earing dropped and I was allowed to take it as it was my claim.
Great for skillups, but not the most useful earing for me.
I understand that the nm is a lottery spawn with other rng ants in the area, but it was dumb luck for me. If I can get fraps running, I'll take a screenshot and post it.
