about a year ago i used to camp these vs GS when drop was Archers ring, over the corse of about 2 - 3 months of camping now and then i went about 0/150..
So they changed drop to ex now, and i know they suck, only reason they were expensive before was due to over GS camping and the fact that you synthed snipers rings from them. Now only use i see is maybe promys for rng.
So! i decided i'd try my luck at these again, this time i brought TH2. While waiting on morbolger i killed 4 of these, got 1/4 on 4th kill as well as 2 slime oils, killed 5 more, got 2/9 on 9th kill, why couldn't i get droprate like this on archers? ; ;
anyways so far im at 2/9 i stopped killing them as having 3 is kinda useless >.> maybe i could npc sell it! lol i don't know how much npc pay i'm sure it's extremely low though.
btw i used to fight these as 45war when i got 0/150+ with not much of a problem, this time i fought them as THF56/NIN27 without ever getting hit that's all.
0/32 so far, gonna carry on till i log for the night. Dont even especially need this F'er so i dont know why i am wasting my time on it lol. Be a relief if i ever get one \O.o/
I just went 1/72 on this thing as a 69TH/34NIN. Took me about 5hours of farming to get it, but imho, it's better than Venerer for the Ranged Accuracy+2.
Happy hunting to whoever goes for it, just don't expect it quick.
Should be able to with your npc....at full hp/mp with no buffs I was able to survive em one at a time as a 40drk/20war. Had to drain a few times though.
just got this drop on my fifth kill, third kill of the day after moving to another area away from the stropers. Time: lightningsday; 26% Late Waning Crescent; 12:00~; 30/9/990 Job: Whm/blm, 66
Well just visited Ordelle's Cave for defeating the Metal Slime for the NPC Quest and I thought: "Hey, why not trying to get a chest key?" So I went trough the caves and found a Stroper Chyme so I attacked it and...Drop! It was the first Chyme I killed :)
Killed some after this one for my chest key, but no drop anymore so 1/4 atm
Well i dont know how i did it, but after getting my treasure chest for rse i decided to camp and went 2/5 on this ring, so i called that a day and now i got two new rings for my lvl 30 drg
most of you guys have gotten extremely lucky in my opinion. id love to be 1/61. as it stands now. im 0/183.. and starting to not like this farming method anymore. might be easier to actually farm 1.8 million gil to buy a snipers ring then to get drop off of this mob
1/1 on it. i was looking for ordelles key. saw it. i casted banish to bring it down from the upper lvl. i was down at G-11, so it also pops there. shikaree ring seems kinda useless to me. but i'll keep it for a bit anyways.
