so far 0/1 argus (only stupid mercury) 0/2 leech king (fiend blood)...these NMs f'ing blow. the pop time is way too long for anyone to keep their sanity in check and you cant do anything other than f'ing stand there. theres always atleast 1 guy camping as well. so far ive outclaimed him only because he logs off like 30 minutes before one of the NMs pop. i guess out of boredom or frusteration. i'm about to give up on argus though. i dont see myself getting the amulet. its easier just to BCNM it.
wow 18 days is a long time...but the fact that you didnt have any competition for that time span is shocking...for me it probably wont end up like that unfortunately cause whenever i go to camp something even if initially theres no campers besides me a whole flock of people will show up soon after. i hope i'll get lucky and be 1/1 or something because i already have enough frusteration over other NMs, though i have gotten lucky on some but Rose Garden is one of the worst i ever camped.
I have a question. I've heard people say you can get the ToD of a NM while AFK, but I haven't been playing that long and haven't really camped any NM's with high competition. How does one go about getting the ToD without actually staying there the whole time?
Grats on the drop. Killed the right way too, no WSing. Got mine a year and half ago and gotta say it's still the best accomplishment i've felt on ffxi, including all the end-game garbage i wasted my time on. Aurawnt from Diabolos.
where is the most common spawn location for argus? when i camp him solo with no /rng, i hang out in the little room where your friend was. since i have read and actually seen him spawn in that smaller room infront of the iron door, im thinking my best bet is to camp the small room since i will be doing this by my self.
damn nice dude grats on drop everytime i keep camping argus i suck at waitting for pop and still nothing havent seen argus except in videos 18-30 hours thats like 12 hours window too long to wait and boring as much as hell
I watched the first 3:45 of the video, lmao.

@oOEIGHTOo you do realize he is probably dual-boxing and that's his other char and that's how he knew it spawned there when it did.

That's right. My friend and I had an xbox and a pc running two accounts. One in Leech King's room and two around Argus.

i hope it goes just like that for me when i go to camp...were you 1/1 on the amulet?
Noah837 2 years ago
No. However, some people are 1/1/
We went 2/7 on Argus and killed Leech King 11 times between those kills. In total, it took 18 days for 2 Amulets.

Yeah, sit yourself in the small room and save yourself some time, do the RNG quest in 10 minutes, it'll save you in the long run.

You guys are complaining about 4 minutes, try 8 consecutive hours on multiple occasions. . . Or the 6 hours we stalled Leech King.
We triple boxed.
I had the big room, my friend had the small room, and my xbox had Leech King's room.
The day after stalling LK, no one was camping and we got the 2nd amulet.
My friend told me, "start recording, it's going to pop soon." Sure enough...it did!

really... why did you film the first 4 mins of nothing.
iamjacksrage00 4 years ago 2
HOw did you know Argus popped, you weren't even near that location... unless you dual boxed and had that BLM at the other room...

4 minutes of watching you stand there do nothing. Why not just start the video 4 minutes in and save the viewers a little time?
creaper609 4 years ago
Because then the video wouldn't accurately reflect the awesome experience that FFXI is!
junklock 4 years ago
true, i guess you are right....
creaper609 3 years ago
Exactly, lol. This game can be very boring and is all about preoccupying yourself until the important shit rolls along.
What you don't see is my buddy and I chilling, shootin the breeze, and smoking more dope in one sitting than you could imagine.
