question is -5 emnity gunna make any difference for a drk? my bst has -21 and i take hate from tough pets my point being i dont hit as hard as a dark, i dont really see emnity making a huge impact on a drks surviability in a pt especially -5.. seems unreasonably and pointlessly hard for something thats inferior to drk af >.> or is that just me being loco?
Someone posted about this helmet intimidating dolls... That added effect is possible, but I think it may be something different. Does anyone have any information on this helmet intimidating other mobs? Im getting the feeling that the helmet has a low percentage activation of "Terrorize." It kind of makes sense, but who knows.
Well, i recently obtained this fantastic helm. Been wearing it off and on as Thf/nin simply cause it looks cool. Makes me feel like a rocketman. Anyhow. I was soloing in some uggaleph temple. Seems while fighting a doll i intimidated it. I have no killer effect gear on, nor did i have bst or drk sub. Simply speaking it seems that this helm has a hidden effect of Arcana Killer. So, for you folks seeking this as drk or bst to lower some enmity. Mind you theres a lil treat there as well. So enjoy and test it out. Let me know if you find this to be correct.

I was doing rank 10 mission yesterday, and i OP warp to xarcabard while waiting for everyone to check theyr CS in chateau d'oragille, while running to beaucedine, i check my shadows and they were off, even tho i was pretty sure i casted them as soon as i ported to xarc, so i turn myself, and behind me there's Biast! I am like: wtf?! well... ok, let's try to kill this fat dragon! :3 I was pretty sure i could solo it as thf/nin75, even tho when my friends come help me i was with like 60 hp left, and biast had still a freaking lots of HP, at the very end i had to sleep bolt, recast utsu, wake up with a bloody bolt and repeat when utsu is down. All of a sudden like 15 ppl come out of nowhere, i realized they were camping it... ^^' pld in my pt voke and get his hate after a TA or two, and then we all kill it, got the helm and they let me lot it for my drk that is nearing lvl 60. Really thank you guys! ^^
Well today after camping Fafnir for a bit our ls lost the pull. So everyone is d2'ing and what not and Nastnat one of our plds says this ******* is up unclaimed. I would love the helm for my 53 war who is closing in fast on 60 so they tell me switch to nin and tele out. I switch to nin get ther and it's at 80 percent we procede to clobber him easily and it drops!
Then to my suprise.....
They tell me to lot it!
A big thanks to all the people from FantaSky for helping me pimp out my war!
0/1 lol I was just running to beauc. to log for the dyn-beauc. run the next day when I saw this little bugger, called down a few friends and we murdered him with relative ease, it's a shame I'd like this for my thf =/
Is anyone sure about spawn time now? I heard it was 21-24 hours, but I camped him after last maintenance, stayed for 3 hours, which was 3 nights/Dragon spawns, I killed all 3 dragons and no Biast, :/ I really want this
Most definitely not 21-24. I camped it three times, two of which I saw it pop. First camp was 21 mark to 27 mark. Second was 21 mark to 28 mark. Both of these times, it popped. Third camp was 21 to 29 mark with no pop. ...Wow, I just realized that each consecutive camp was one hour longer than the last. Weird.
2% haste is not in the least noticeable. However, this helm is extremely useful for DRGs simply for the -enmity. At 75, I wear it for TP build in burns to insure the mobs smack me less so I need to use my hate sheds less often.
As for WORTH it... Nothing is worth the hell that is camping Biast.
I managed to kill the NM as a SMN75 with only Fenrir. A RDM was with me, primarily refreshing me and enfeebling the NM. I used up all my MP+2hr to kill it, but got the drop.

As a reference, I believe I had to cast Fenrir 4 times or so. That would make it T-VT to a 75, so you can go figure out what it would con to a 61.
Ok so, yeah, SMN can solo it, I've done it 3 times, got drop 3rd time. It's definately not 100% as I killed him twice with no drop before finally getting some luck.
However, first off 4 fenrirs is not gonna take it down. It has a LOT of hp, 1000dmg eclipse bites will knock of 3%ish, if that. It takes me 20 or so, maybe more, carbies to knock him out.
2nd, you try to do blood pacts too early, you die, period. I almost died the first time I killed him when I went to finish him off with predator claws at the end. This is because he will terrorize your pet, and his terrorize move clears hate. That means if you have ANY hate on him whatsoever beyond the fact that he knows you exist, you're screwed. He'll terrorize your pet and then come wtfpwn you. GG.
Anyway, from my experience I'd say he's a lv 65ish "HNM". He has a LOT of HP, and some ridiculous abilities that make him dramatically more powerful than a "normal" nm at that level. (He would beat Ose's *** HARD 1 on 1, for example.)
As far as the helm itself, I've been crying about drk having absolutely no forms of -enmity forever, and this piece is pretty much the answer to that issue. It's just too bad that a. it comes so late in the game, and b. it's on an NM that not many people are going to kill in time to have it while it's truly useful. (I.E. during the time period when Scythe is the clear powerhouse and if a trick attack misses drk dies in a hurry.)
lastly, I really don't believe realitybytes killed it, and well, if he did:
Well for today i did not expect this to pop. Story goes:
After porting away from Behemoth's dominion after an unsucessful claim to behemoth we arive in Xarcabard. Everyone pretty much disbanded and OP warp to their respected HP. I just realised that i could go to eldime necropolis and hopefully find the ??? for the mea scroll quest. As i headed to beucedine glacier I saw the shadow dragon. I did a <t> found it and so the whm port back to xarcabard to fight this thing. I Being 75BST/37 RDM proceeded to kill this thing off. Oh we did kill this thing but the unthinkable happened. Biast POPPED 5 secs after Shadow Dragon is dead. The bugger killed the whm in 2 hits while bravely ranaway. I forgot i still have Courier Carrie with and set here to fight the NM while I try to head for the OP. Man that was very ridiculous but the quetion is does this thing ACTUALLY pops after Shadow Dragon or is he a lottery pop?
just got lvl 55 on my drk recently and was on my way with a lvl 75 rdm buddy from LS to go do my G2...well he got there a minute or two before i did and was playin with a dragon. I outpost warp to xarcabard and he runs up to me with the dragon and we kill it. rdm turns around and says "now to remember what tunnels for G2". right then i watch this other dragon appear and i think its part of the G2 not knowing any better and rdm turns to me and was like "teleport out"...so i outpost warp home and he zones to beaudicine glacier. well as luck would have it a 75 blm from our linkshell and some of her friends were campin the NM in castle zvahl baileys that drops absorb-dex....so they escape and start headin toward us....rdm comes back kites the mob to them....they kill in like 3 mins....dropped too....they were even so nice as to let me have the drop ^^ so now i have this helm 1/1
Hopeless LS on Hades server just killed this bugger. ^^ Was on a run through to Fei'Yin to finish up ZM5 when the PLD ran into it thinking it was a normal dragon. Level 75RDM with us Gravity'ed and kited it till me and the BRD could get there, and we called in some more available LS mates. Long fight, hella fun, terrorize was a pain, and no drop. ;o; All we got to show for it was 900gil and 10exp.
Setup: 67PLD/WAR, 75RDM/BLM, 58NIN/WAR, 65RNG/NIN, 64BST/WHM, and 62RDM/WHM. No deaths!

Posted:Sep 22 2005 at 3:06 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Funny story about the claim on Biast. Here we are, some one on our LS told us Biast is up, so we decide to check it out. 5 of us showed up on the spot (75 Pally, 75 WHM, 75 WAR, 75 MNK and 60 DRK <me, forgot why I didn't go as my RDM 70), anyway, a JP NIN with uber gears got the claim and trying to dual it with a 62 WHM, they where doing great, and it's halfway dead.. so our pally goes "I am going to through him a Cure 1, if he dies, it will kill WHM for sure and come after me after that, so .. here goes... Cure >>> JP NIN with Uber gears ... then... Biast went nuts after our pally (lmao), so our pally took off and trying to zone it before he gets killed. Good thing our pally's got his crimson pants on, so he's like faster then everyone else and head to the zone.. at the zone, biast still shows up claim by the NIN's PT, but they weren't there, finally, the WHM showed up and tryed to Gravity it (Must had RDM subed), resisted and WHM when down, and NIN is no where to be found, it turns unclaimed.. so here is my Stun.. we got it!!! and we whooped it, got the helm, it's use less for any of other members, say hello to my Patroclus's Helm !!! /joy
any probs ? it's pretty well known that DRG get's shafted through a long time in the game considering choice of gear, but endgame you HAVE something. The hecatomb set adds some evil STR to add to your ws's, more then the shura abjuration or osode NIN gets. Apart from that DRG can use some common stuff, haste belt, walahra turban, warwolf belt, peacock charm/amulet, Chivalrous Chain. . . . .
i met this guy when a pld claimed a shadow dragon before i could. i was pld/tfh atm so when biast spawned and killed him... i flee'd and muged (71pld/35thf) got 900gil or so ^^.
Eternal bond (my LS) killed biast though, we were on our way to kill feiyin shadow for whm AF. W00t Eternal bond ^^. We had pretty much 55-75, 14ppl (one 75 was a drg). Fight would've went smoother if SOMEONE didn't aggro it... our whm was still porting the other ppl to vazhl. Nice lil fight, we got the hat ^^
1> Does anyone know the approximate time between Biast's spawns? My static has been killing SD with no dice on his pop.
2> Would it be possible for a 61NIN, 61DRG, 61WHM, and two 58 DRG to beat Biast? I haven't seen anyone state an attempted kill at this level range and am curious if it's even worth trying, then dying.
i was never resisted on him as a 66 rdm (maybe 65, cant remember >.>) on gravity, sleep, etc, my nukes went unresisted well over 80% of the time, easily duoable (we did) by 2 rdm, one of which was 61, im not sure he's quite as high as you think...

my ls killed this nm dragon names Biast with 2 75 rangers tanking, a 65 rdm a 75 whm and a couple whms, he droped the helm, and we were in love! This helm is amazing for drk!!! i have many pics of fighting this thing it was an awsome fight! He has this attack that freezes ur charicter dead in its track, but it was a fairly easy fight and it drops a great drop!
I'd camped him for around 7 hours one day with no pop.
Couple days later, I'm on my BST59, kill the shadow dragon, and he popped. I'm not sure what conditions affect his spawning, if any.
It was iceday, single dark weather, about middle of the day vanatime. I've noticed on someone's thread on another website where the person stated he/she also got the dragon to pop on single darkness weather. Perhaps single dark affects his spawn rate?
He also popped within 5 seconds of killing shadow dragon in the almost exact spot where I'd killed SD.
Went to camp it without knowing previous time of death and spent 18 hours as 75thf/rng before I got it to pop. Tried fighting it for about 30 seconds before I got petrified, and slowly plinked to death. A 75 ninja friend said he'd come so I homepointed and changed to 42whm to port him. Another thf friend came midway through the fight and it took about 15 minutes to kill. Deffinatly intimidates a lot(equal to a random paralyze) and terrorize and petrify will last very long if not cured. In the end helm didn't drop........ Went back 21 hours later and camped it for 8 hours without ever seeing it. Ended up falling asleep. Tried camping after miantenance, and again spent too damn long without seeing it spawn. Anyone else have any possible spawn cycle limits?

I camped this thing with my friend rng for 4 days straight finally got him to pop 4th day ( minus my sleep) and after losing between me and him, I sent in my ls for backup and defeated it got no drop. I got pics though of Biast.
