omg thats the wooorst. I've done that with so many NMs, I realize hours later I've been 1 grid out of place or something. Been trying to get stray mary to pop for the next video, and figuring out which sheep are the right damn sheep is almost impossible
i am so sorry bro!...randomly last night while passing through Gustaburg I decided to pay leaping lizzy a visit. I got the boots 1st try. Really enjoying this NM series though! ty for sharing the memories and showing us some good NMs to camp
I remember when those boots were sellable....then years later due to RMT and Auction prices....they became player only items. I dunno which was worse...😭😂
So I came back to FFXI last week, still on the free trial since I lost my account from 10 years ago. I decided to level THF to 50 after WAR and decided for fun to hunt all the NMs I'd never bothered to get before. Managed to get Emp. Pin on the first kill and Bounding boots after like 6 attempts. Ironically gilsellers ignore them now, which is great. Thanks for the fun videos.
Man, nothing compares to feeling of your heart sinking as soon as you see a NM, the mad sprint, spamming your macro. Hours of camping finally paying off! oh how i miss it all.
Congrats on FINALLY getting the Bounding Boots! I remember getting that and the O Kote from that Yagudo when they turned both items into Rare/Ex. Some honorable mentions would be the Signet Staff, Emperor Hairpin to talk about in future videos.
thanks! Can't believe it, and man those O kote were amazing, one of my favoirte pieces of gear. Definitely! Hoo Mjuu the Torrent is totally coming up in the next one, I camped him cooonstantly. And obviously the valkurm emperor has to make an appearance...he was one of my first stops when I first came back, just to see if i could get him to pop
Signet staff, I think you mean Monster signa as Signet staff was bought with conquest points like the lvl1 mov speed plus body when your nation was rank one in conquest and you were mission rank 10...or you could buy them, that's how I got my basty and windy mule them body's.
Omg, the competition for his Monster Signa and Mee Deggi the Punisher for the O-Kotes... Long hours wasted on those guys only for some other asshole to show up right as it spawned...
hahah omg I had him on the list for 10-20, COUUUUNTLESS times that I camped that idiot, every time I went to pick up leveling BST again, I was like better go get the monster signa...
lmao those 2 are 2 I can't wait to have in the video, although I dunno how long I'll wait for Mee Deggi, I finally got super lucky and claimed him out of 3 others way back and got those damn O-kote. Purely the only reason I leveled Monk
I love these vids. I used to play FF11 up until end of last year on Sylph. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the next list as i'm sure ill be seeing some familiar NM's.
Ha! Congratulations on your boots! I had a situation kinda like yours, where I got Lizzy to pop multiple times on the same day. 6 pops, 5 claims, no boots. The 6th (last pop)? Someone else claimed him... and got the boots. I bought the original Boots off AH immediately after and never camped it again, lol. I'd also like to see a shout-out to one of the most "Notorious" Monsters out there; The Spook in King Ranpere's Tomb. While it wasn't an actual NM, but everyone wanted that dang Traveler's Mantle~ (Especially the RMTs lol)
thanks! haha ya after a situation like that I would have bought them too, hell I probably would have just bought htem regardless if I had the money... Oh man totally forgot about Spook! loved that travelers mantle too, I used it on everything I could
Best gaming experience I ever had playing a game. The sense of exploration when I was 16 was amazing.For the record I went 1/72 for moldavite earring x.x
definitely! and OOMPH, I can't believe you kept camping it...the Moldavite was my meanest NM camping story, a SMN grabbed him with Carby to claim, but it went un claimed when his carbuncle died and I stole him...I felt terrible afterwards haha
I couldnt believe the boots were a 6.6% drop i had to check right now. I've killed him maybe 4 or 5 times now and I've gotten the boots 3 times. Once when it was still leaping boots, twice when they were Bounding. I have screenshots on my photobucket from 2004 on my original char with Leaping Lizzy. I'll never forget how i found out about him. On my first trip to bastok, there were some experienced linkshell members who were very rich and high level (eventually they had kraken club just for their ranger to build TP back in 2004). They told me they sold the boots for 500k+ and thats how they got their gil. I was hooked when I heard about that much gil. Come to think of it, it's probably subtle things like that that made me so addicted in the first place.
Love these videos! Worst was peacock charm. Gave me anxiety. Camped Argus for nearly 2 years without ever seeing it. I thought it was a dev joke. I got it tho
Congrats on the Bounding Boots!! Maybe you should go back to your house and kill Old-Two-Wings... make yourself a Bat Cape. Evasion bonus +5 *swoosh* I was always camping NMs. Megalobugard was one of my faves. I could chill in Lufaise area for hours! Worst no-drop was in Salvage @75. 0/380ish for the headpiece I needed. That's why my avatar will always wear Ace's Helm ^^'
hahah omg, I think old two wings and his whole family are hanging out right now...I should definitely add him to the list for the series though, and thanks! Megalobugardddd, yeah lufaise was one of the more fun places to camp becuse it was so awesome out there. oomph, yeah Salvage was stingy with some of those pieces. Haha that ace's helm was sweet though
My buddy who was planning to get ffxi was camping leaping Lizzy on my account when we were hanging out. I've killed it once before that with no drop. He actually got the claim and the drop for MY character making the drop 1/2 for my character. After my buddy got the game and joined my server he leveled THF to 15 or 20 and proceeded to go 0/31 on the boots, gave up and eventually just bought them.. this was in ffxi prime days too where it was not easy to get that claim let alone the boots.
I used to camp spook in king ramps tomb. I know hes not a nm but dam... That mantle used to sell for 50k and he popped like 2 or 3 times a day. Decent gill for low lvl, but the competition and the rush was intense.
A buddy of mine used to camp Jaggedy Earred Jack soooo much that he would get him to spawn, kill him, then take a nap for like an hour or so, wake up, go kill one rabbit and then he would spawn again... as if he was so connected to that creature that he heard it calling in his sleep! lol My story on Leaping Lizzy was I had never ever won claim on him and I would always see people kill him before I could ever have the chance. One day I was leveling pld with my girlfriend and i saw him in the distance while I was fighting a lizard. We were only lvl 9 or something like that. I rushed over to claim him just off of sheer adrenaline and excitement not realizing that I just death sentenced me and my girlfriend's character cause we had no chance of killing him. I fought him off for such a long time that I got him down to about half health and I was curing and my girlfriend was helping and it just was not happening. Out of nowhere a friend of mine was passing by on his chocobo, saw me, saw Lizzy, saw I was dying and ran over and cured me just as I was one hit away from death. He stayed and cured til I killed it and I got the boots. It was so epic. lol
I wasn't even camping her. I think I was going to Giddeus for some random quest. A lizard popped in front of me so I just provoke it for no reason and killed it in 2 seconds not even paying attention....then I had a pair of Bounding Boots.
I still remember the first time I played FFXI on PS2 and the very first enemy I fought was Jaggedy Eared Jack. I died and I didn't find out until later at how rare it was to run into him
Back in 2006 LL area Bastok, was so congested with campers for RMT and players, lag was so bad my char would go into server drop have to log back in to go 5 more feet and drop again 😂 fast travel past that area was so nice.....the auction house prices for LL Boots were not .....
I used to have the best of luck getting the leaping boots, probably sold close to 10 pairs. But I never got the rare/ex version to drop after the update.
There is a condition its the same as LL just kill a ton of rabbits...however...randomly running through (can't remember name) elvaan territory spotted him chill in and telling stories to his fauna buddies in his forest (it's his) ....sipping on some scissor....so i trashed his party and got drop. Had no idea how valuable it was untill talking with some theif buddies. Haha, I started leveling theif
I have a Christmas Eve story of my own. Christmas Eve 2004. I was leveling BLM, my first job. I finally made it to level 30 and I needed to upgrade to the Seer's Doublet set but I didn't have the money. On Christmas Eve 2004, I was passing through Sarutabaruta on Chocobo heading somewhere that I don't even remember Then I saw Spiny Spipi. I hesitated to dismount as I only had a few hundred gil. I made the call battle it. And it dropped the Mist Silk Cape. I was able to sell it and buy my Seer's doublet set and I had a nice chunk of change leftover for miscellaneous expenses.
haha that's awesome! BLM was my first job too, all those spells I never had aaany money. That seer's set was awesome for the level range too, so glad you got the cape, great story
daaaamn, I can tell you right now I would never have made it to 80 kills haha, nice job though. Hate when you put all the effort into thf forever and then get the drop as some random other job...
as a Sandy boi I killed some JEJs over the years, got a charm once... was chocoing by to help a friend before that I got him to like 20% on my monk, someone waiting to see if I'd lose got it and got the drop :(
I took a break when they canceled Xbox..but i'll be back come the winter. I still like the game. I'm currently trying to kill every NM in the game. Some lists are not current and many NM's are no longer in the game but still appear on lists. Some were 1 time spawns for special events. And some are Mythical. currently i'm 2,792 / 3,525 ...it keeps you busy
well not all 3,525 are nm's. I also count impossible to gauge if your lvl 99. Some dynamis nm's no longer exist and alot of what used to be impossible to gauge @ lvl 99 are now down graded so this 3,525 is adjusted so. If I can just break the 3k nm mark i'll be happy. My kills also reflect nm's that I helped kill.
Jagged Ear Jack does exist. I was running thru one day about 5ish years ago and saw him just bouncing around. So I waited, and waited and waited. No one came near or anything. So I killed him, got the drop and then got yelled at by someone who was camping him. But I waited and watched him for over 5 mins so I claim no responsibility lol
I don't believe it, he doesn't exist haha, but damn good for you for waiting, FFXI was a cutthroat world with the NMs....it was claim or be claimed! (wait..)
I think I am too nice for your typical mmo lol that's why I stay in small, close groups. I learned the hard way the cut throat ways of the mmo, one reason I never did get a joytoy >< frakin thieves and bots man lol
hahah my 1 and only Kirin experience, level 75 SMN getting swapped in and out of the main alliance. Fell asleep and woke up the next day to find out we won...but I missed it
Kirin! OMG I played BLM in an end game alliance I think I must have gone up to fight it over a dozen times. One time we missed calculated and hit the room on Earthsday. Needless to say, we didn't win that night. It was an ugly ugly fight. I think our main tank might have de-leveled because he died so many times.
Jaggedy earred jack does exist! Never got the drop though. I played this game for like 6 years and must have killed LL like 20 times and never got the boots. Not once. Seeing you get the drop however will allow me some peace. Not much though.
hahah I couldn't believe he dropped em for the video, yeah he was a huge pain in the ass over the years. thats awesome about Jaggedy, although sounds like he's even stingier than LL
I hunted jack every night for a few years. Got 2 drops. It was ridiculously hard to get the drop because it would die before TH did it's work every frickin time 🤨
I remember getting the original Leaping Boots from Lizzy before they changed her drop to a rare/exclusive version to combat RMTs and bot farming. Sold those things for a cool 300k after I got the bounding boots. Nothing compared to what they originally went for on the ah. @_@
My Lizzy luck was fantastic. Only killed it like 4 times in total for both drops. But Valkurm Emperor... my god. 40+ times before I finally got the R/EX hairpin -_-
Btw, what version are you running on, retail or steam? Been thinking about playing again and wasn't sure if Windower still worked with the steam version or not.
leaping lizzy and Jack the rabbit hunting. the spawns are based on like slot machine math. Get a bow stand in the area where they spawn. Kill everything you can reach with your bow, only taking 1-3 steps to 1 side or another. the nm will pop within bow range. No need to go running all over creation.
Leaping Lizzy I used to have down to a science, although when everyone was just killing every lizard in sight stuff got a little more complicated....but haha Jaggedy I could never quite figure out...wasn't ever sure how far away he could pop on me
my horror story was with Simurgh i camped this 24 hour respawn NM and claimed and killed it 19 days in a row back in the day and it just would not give me the "strider boots for my thf" :( ive thought about going back just to see if i could finally do it with a lvl 99 thf but idk
Way back in High school, i camped Jagged Eared Jack (Stupid Rarab!) a ton. I wasn't a thief but my character was always poor and I just wanted the rabbit charm to sell it. After a week or so camping him off and on, I killed him probably 3-4 times and finally, on the last attempt he dropped the charm!!! I did a /tell to my friend and he thought I was lying until we met up and I proudly displayed my prize in my bazaar :^D. think i ended up getting around 800K for that puppy!
Moldavite Earring. I think I was the only BLM in my dynamis group that didn’t have one for about half a year. I camped it near enough daily, I think I was 0/52 on drops.
I heard that King Behemoth was a real dick when it came to giving up defending ring. I got the drop on my first and only kill. Luckiest drop I ever got in ffxi.
damn! yeah I hear thats still a huge pain in the ass, and man, he was like a 24 hour spawn originally right? I saw him once as a 30 BLM and got destroyed by his AOEs...didn't know they hit out of the party
I've killed Jagged-Eared Jack at least 10 times just for shits and giggles and 2 dropped for me and I had to stop telling me people that it dropped because they would get made at me. >.>;
I'm one of the few people on my server that had that sword. Killed that bastard for 2 weeks straight until i got it. @_@ 1/1 on Leaping Lizzy though! HaHa!
that sword was pretty sweet, cancer was a huuuge pain in the ass though for sure. haha yeah it's always like that, 1/1 on some and then 1/50 on others no one has a problem with
ooomph he was the 24 hour one right? that brown belt quest was awwwful. I think I only ended up with 2/3 pieces, the Morbolger and dodo skin, never could get that Nue Fang...
Have your sins been forgiven today and forever? Think about this. The God of the bible, the One True God made us to worship him, obey him, and enjoy him forever. We break His laws daily by not putting Him first, not thanking Him like we should, we lie, we lust, we have sex before marriage, we dishonor our parents, we covet things other people have, we take God's name and use it in vain, we use it in a low manner, sometimes as a cuss word, (God is holy and even His name is holy), we don't love like we should, etc. In doing so we're saying He's not a good provider, He's a liar, He's untrustworthy, He's not worthy of praise. All these things and more are counted against us. The bible says God is the just judge of the world and one day He will settle the score for all the wrong we've done. God is holy meaning He is righteous (morally perfect in thought, word, and deed) It also means He is set apart and higher than us. God being good, must punish all sin or wrong doing in the world. This means that if you sin one time God will cast you in hell for eternity. Because He is good and He doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. But there is good news. 2000 years ago Jesus the Son of God came into this world and lived a perfect life ( He never sinned once) and He died on the cross taking the wrath that we deserve and paid the penalty for the sins we committed. The bible says that if you will repent (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in what Christ did on the cross (He took the wrath of God that was meant for you and I) then all your sins will be forgiven and when you die you will be in heaven with God and all who believe for eternity. Jesus died and on the third day He rose from the grave. Get right with God today don't wait. Once you die after that comes the judgement. Hebrews 9:27 It's the most important thing you can do. You must be born again John 3:7 If you repent and trust in what Christ did on the cross it shows that you've been born again or born spiritually. Right now you're dead in your sins and you can't see the beauty of Jesus Christ but after you trust in Christ all the things you hate about God like obeying him, serving Him, loving Him and others, reading the bible, praying and going to church you will love to do those things because God changes your heart. That's how you know you have been born again and forgiven. Please think long about this and ask me any questions you have as this is the most important thing you can ever think of in your life. An eternity in hell (darkness and a lake of fire the bible describes it, with weeping and gnashing of teeth) or an eternity out of that place and into the loving arms of God who is infinitely glorious, has infinite knowledge and has infinite power to do all that He pleases. You decide. Have a great day!
I camped Sophie on the wrong hill for HOURS. Thanks for the videos. Nice series.
omg thats the wooorst. I've done that with so many NMs, I realize hours later I've been 1 grid out of place or something. Been trying to get stray mary to pop for the next video, and figuring out which sheep are the right damn sheep is almost impossible
I feel your pain.
i am so sorry bro!...randomly last night while passing through Gustaburg I decided to pay leaping lizzy a visit. I got the boots 1st try. Really enjoying this NM series though! ty for sharing the memories and showing us some good NMs to camp
love your ffxi videos man. glad you got your boots.
I miss NM camping. I made quite a bit of gil from him and VE back in the day.
haha thanks, yeah I'm so pumped to finally have them, even though they're not as useful anymore...Yeah right? NM camping was super intense
I remember when those boots were sellable....then years later due to RMT and Auction prices....they became player only items. I dunno which was worse...😭😂
Seeing Lizzy again after so many years bought back a flush of memories. And hatred. And disgust. Grats on the boots you lucky mutha!
hahah I couldn't believe it, I was like of course, now
Naturally, haha! I was never lucky enough to get them to drop back in the day. :( Love your FFXI content, makes me want to join back!
Your videos are so awesome, inspired me to pick up ffxi all over again
haha awesome! thanks, glad you're picking it up again, its still a ton of fun
Noob.
So I came back to FFXI last week, still on the free trial since I lost my account from 10 years ago. I decided to level THF to 50 after WAR and decided for fun to hunt all the NMs I'd never bothered to get before. Managed to get Emp. Pin on the first kill and Bounding boots after like 6 attempts. Ironically gilsellers ignore them now, which is great. Thanks for the fun videos.
I just got the rabbit charm the other day. I'm pretty pumped about it
Man, nothing compares to feeling of your heart sinking as soon as you see a NM, the mad sprint, spamming your macro. Hours of camping finally paying off! oh how i miss it all.
seriously, haven't quite gotten that rush from any other game
Congrats on FINALLY getting the Bounding Boots! I remember getting that and the O Kote from that Yagudo when they turned both items into Rare/Ex. Some honorable mentions would be the Signet Staff, Emperor Hairpin to talk about in future videos.
thanks! Can't believe it, and man those O kote were amazing, one of my favoirte pieces of gear. Definitely! Hoo Mjuu the Torrent is totally coming up in the next one, I camped him cooonstantly. And obviously the valkurm emperor has to make an appearance...he was one of my first stops when I first came back, just to see if i could get him to pop
Signet staff, I think you mean Monster signa as Signet staff was bought with conquest points like the lvl1 mov speed plus body when your nation was rank one in conquest and you were mission rank 10...or you could buy them, that's how I got my basty and windy mule them body's.
I was 1/3 for LL back in the day. I was so happy.
nice!!! yeah those moments were amazing
Ive always had luck like that....same 1/1 on another server went 1/36 😭😭😭😂😂😂
This was gratifying. I got them in the late 20 kill range back in the day. Grats^^
haha thanks, always excited to get this stuff
Hoo Mjuu the Torrent! I camped that guy for so many many hours just waiting to see the monster signa drop for my bard.
Omg, the competition for his Monster Signa and Mee Deggi the Punisher for the O-Kotes... Long hours wasted on those guys only for some other asshole to show up right as it spawned...
hahah omg I had him on the list for 10-20, COUUUUNTLESS times that I camped that idiot, every time I went to pick up leveling BST again, I was like better go get the monster signa...
lmao those 2 are 2 I can't wait to have in the video, although I dunno how long I'll wait for Mee Deggi, I finally got super lucky and claimed him out of 3 others way back and got those damn O-kote. Purely the only reason I leveled Monk
My Leaping Lizzy was Mee Deggi The Punisher (being Mnk and Sam back in those days). I know just how you feel.
Mee Deggi was ridiculous, I was so excited when I finally got the drop I immediately started leveling MNK
Oh gawd no, not Mee Deggi xD I still never got them damn kotes..
I love these vids. I used to play FF11 up until end of last year on Sylph. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the next list as i'm sure ill be seeing some familiar NM's.
thanks! yeah I'm pumped for this series, there's a bunch that I'm kinda nervous about camping though...ugh those respawn times haha
Ha! Congratulations on your boots! I had a situation kinda like yours, where I got Lizzy to pop multiple times on the same day. 6 pops, 5 claims, no boots. The 6th (last pop)? Someone else claimed him... and got the boots. I bought the original Boots off AH immediately after and never camped it again, lol.
I'd also like to see a shout-out to one of the most "Notorious" Monsters out there; The Spook in King Ranpere's Tomb. While it wasn't an actual NM, but everyone wanted that dang Traveler's Mantle~ (Especially the RMTs lol)
thanks! haha ya after a situation like that I would have bought them too, hell I probably would have just bought htem regardless if I had the money...
Oh man totally forgot about Spook! loved that travelers mantle too, I used it on everything I could
This is awesome! Also, let those bats have some fun will ya? yeash.
no parties while we're not home bats...
Jack the rabbit drove me crazy. No drops that rabbit is damm greedy.
Started a new ffxi account after a 8 year break. Went 1/2 on leaping lizzy and 1/1 on VE for the empress hairpin!!
Best gaming experience I ever had playing a game. The sense of exploration when I was 16 was amazing.For the record I went 1/72 for moldavite earring x.x
definitely! and OOMPH, I can't believe you kept camping it...the Moldavite was my meanest NM camping story, a SMN grabbed him with Carby to claim, but it went un claimed when his carbuncle died and I stole him...I felt terrible afterwards haha
+Huntin 4 Games I could talk about ffxi forever haha. I even set up alarms to wake me up every 2 hours
I couldnt believe the boots were a 6.6% drop i had to check right now. I've killed him maybe 4 or 5 times now and I've gotten the boots 3 times. Once when it was still leaping boots, twice when they were Bounding. I have screenshots on my photobucket from 2004 on my original char with Leaping Lizzy.

Come to think of it, it's probably subtle things like that that made me so addicted in the first place.
you're the one stealing all my boots!
thumbs up for the leaping lizzy story
Love these videos! Worst was peacock charm. Gave me anxiety. Camped Argus for nearly 2 years without ever seeing it. I thought it was a dev joke. I got it tho
There was the great Katana sheep in gustaberg as well
Congrats on the Bounding Boots!!
Maybe you should go back to your house and kill Old-Two-Wings... make yourself a Bat Cape. Evasion bonus +5 *swoosh*
I was always camping NMs. Megalobugard was one of my faves. I could chill in Lufaise area for hours!
Worst no-drop was in Salvage @75. 0/380ish for the headpiece I needed. That's why my avatar will always wear Ace's Helm ^^'
hahah omg, I think old two wings and his whole family are hanging out right now...I should definitely add him to the list for the series though, and thanks!
Megalobugardddd, yeah lufaise was one of the more fun places to camp becuse it was so awesome out there. oomph, yeah Salvage was stingy with some of those pieces. Haha that ace's helm was sweet though

Lol that end!!! Took me 31 kills to get those damn boots...
haha damn! thats way worse than me, I couldn't believe they dropped for the video though, I think he just likes being recorded...
Years ago I once claimed Leaping Lizzy and dragged it all the way up Vomp Hill just for shits and giggles.
Being from sandy and being so close to ronfaure I actually did see this rabbit early game
I used to camp spook in king ramps tomb. I know hes not a nm but dam... That mantle used to sell for 50k and he popped like 2 or 3 times a day. Decent gill for low lvl, but the competition and the rush was intense.
haha so many have brought up spook, I totally forgot about him. I used to love those "not NM..NMs", some awesome gil for a lot of them
Congrats!
haha thanks, sort of a too little too late...but I'm still pumped
HAHAHA grats man that is too funny. i could never get them, even with decked out THF
haha right??? I debated changing to thf before going out for this, and I was like meh whatever, I'll never get them anyway
I had the dex agi boots from the old days xD ! still use them till today
they're classic! one of the best early game pieces of gear for so many jobs
jaggedy ear jack.. camped him a couple times, fought him a couple times left empty handed a couple of times
Leaping Lizzy and the 4 hour camp
I hope we get a FFXI classic. I miss this game.
A buddy of mine used to camp Jaggedy Earred Jack soooo much that he would get him to spawn, kill him, then take a nap for like an hour or so, wake up, go kill one rabbit and then he would spawn again... as if he was so connected to that creature that he heard it calling in his sleep! lol My story on Leaping Lizzy was I had never ever won claim on him and I would always see people kill him before I could ever have the chance. One day I was leveling pld with my girlfriend and i saw him in the distance while I was fighting a lizard. We were only lvl 9 or something like that. I rushed over to claim him just off of sheer adrenaline and excitement not realizing that I just death sentenced me and my girlfriend's character cause we had no chance of killing him. I fought him off for such a long time that I got him down to about half health and I was curing and my girlfriend was helping and it just was not happening. Out of nowhere a friend of mine was passing by on his chocobo, saw me, saw Lizzy, saw I was dying and ran over and cured me just as I was one hit away from death. He stayed and cured til I killed it and I got the boots. It was so epic. lol
Nice story this is why I love ff11 so much. People not in your party but was able to help out, that was a big plus on the game.
How bout Herald's Giaters? Movement speed + and ok stats.
John Bassett BRD and WHM priority for drops, I levelled my WHM just to get a pair. 😂
I wasn't even camping her. I think I was going to Giddeus for some random quest. A lizard popped in front of me so I just provoke it for no reason and killed it in 2 seconds not even paying attention....then I had a pair of Bounding Boots.
that whole LL segment in the end was awesome, made me laugh. Also is Lizzy a boy? been calling it a her for about 10+ years...
I still remember the first time I played FFXI on PS2 and the very first enemy I fought was Jaggedy Eared Jack. I died and I didn't find out until later at how rare it was to run into him
haha thats ridiculous, yeah I remember the first NM I tried to kill was something stupid and it destroyed me. Might have been spiny spipi
The item he drops is also 1-2% drop rate. Good luck, legend NM
Leaping lizzy was always camped on my server. Prob a legend in the gustenburg area.
he's a legend worldwide!!!
Back in 2006 LL area Bastok, was so congested with campers for RMT and players, lag was so bad my char would go into server drop have to log back in to go 5 more feet and drop again 😂 fast travel past that area was so nice.....the auction house prices for LL Boots were not .....
I came back to the game recently on a new account. I was lucky to go 1/1 on LL, but 1/16 on Argus, and 0/13 on KA. /sob
Ooomph, yeah that's rough. I probably would have chosen the other 2 over LL haha, but those boots are still damn fun to have
1/28 on leaping lizzy myself. ...so many more camps than that where i didn't get the claim/stolen.
Ugh that was the worst, turning a corner and seeing someone fighting the NM you've been camping for like 3 hours
I used to have the best of luck getting the leaping boots, probably sold close to 10 pairs. But I never got the rare/ex version to drop after the update.
Jaggedy Eared Jack is real, I was 0/9 on him. I forget but there's might have been a condition for him to spawn.
There is a condition its the same as LL just kill a ton of rabbits...however...randomly running through (can't remember name) elvaan territory spotted him chill in and telling stories to his fauna buddies in his forest (it's his) ....sipping on some scissor....so i trashed his party and got drop. Had no idea how valuable it was untill talking with some theif buddies. Haha, I started leveling theif
Leaping Lizzy was your nemesis? By coincidence mine was Kreutzet/Sirocco Kukri. I quit the game without that knife and remember it ever since
I'm 0/148 on Jaggedy-Eared Jack pre-abyssea. would go there when bored a lot. TH4 also. he's very easy to camp.
I have a Christmas Eve story of my own. Christmas Eve 2004. I was leveling BLM, my first job. I finally made it to level 30 and I needed to upgrade to the Seer's Doublet set but I didn't have the money. On Christmas Eve 2004, I was passing through Sarutabaruta on Chocobo heading somewhere that I don't even remember Then I saw Spiny Spipi. I hesitated to dismount as I only had a few hundred gil. I made the call battle it. And it dropped the Mist Silk Cape. I was able to sell it and buy my Seer's doublet set and I had a nice chunk of change leftover for miscellaneous expenses.
haha that's awesome! BLM was my first job too, all those spells I never had aaany money. That seer's set was awesome for the level range too, so glad you got the cape, great story
1/80 on Leaping boots. 79 kills as thf even as high as level 75 back in the day; got drop on beastmaster.
daaaamn, I can tell you right now I would never have made it to 80 kills haha, nice job though. Hate when you put all the effort into thf forever and then get the drop as some random other job...
as a Sandy boi I killed some JEJs over the years, got a charm once... was chocoing by to help a friend
before that I got him to like 20% on my monk, someone waiting to see if I'd lose got it and got the drop :(
Lmao "And then I stabbed him in the fucking face!" Classic.
I took a break when they canceled Xbox..but i'll be back come the winter. I still like the game. I'm currently trying to kill every NM in the game. Some lists are not current and many NM's are no longer in the game but still appear on lists. Some were 1 time spawns for special events. And some are Mythical. currently i'm 2,792 / 3,525 ...it keeps you busy
hahaa damn, thats a hell of goal. Let me know how it goes! I don't think I'd have the patience to wait on every single one....
well not all 3,525 are nm's. I also count impossible to gauge if your lvl 99. Some dynamis nm's no longer exist and alot of what used to be impossible to gauge @ lvl 99 are now down graded so this 3,525 is adjusted so. If I can just break the 3k nm mark i'll be happy. My kills also reflect nm's that I helped kill.
I've killed jaggedy ear Jack and got the rabbit charm!! didn't sell it lol
nice! I probably would have held onto it too, at least for a little bit...until the gil needs surfaced
Jagged Ear Jack does exist. I was running thru one day about 5ish years ago and saw him just bouncing around. So I waited, and waited and waited. No one came near or anything. So I killed him, got the drop and then got yelled at by someone who was camping him. But I waited and watched him for over 5 mins so I claim no responsibility lol
I don't believe it, he doesn't exist haha, but damn good for you for waiting, FFXI was a cutthroat world with the NMs....it was claim or be claimed! (wait..)
I think I am too nice for your typical mmo lol that's why I stay in small, close groups. I learned the hard way the cut throat ways of the mmo, one reason I never did get a joytoy >< frakin thieves and bots man lol
The first time I killed Jack and Lizzy for my THF, I felt invincible.
Clearly you felt Perfect Dodge 😅
I miss Kirin though, those were the days. Kite, wipe, kite...... well you remember the rest.
hahah my 1 and only Kirin experience, level 75 SMN getting swapped in and out of the main alliance. Fell asleep and woke up the next day to find out we won...but I missed it
Kirin! OMG I played BLM in an end game alliance I think I must have gone up to fight it over a dozen times. One time we missed calculated and hit the room on Earthsday. Needless to say, we didn't win that night. It was an ugly ugly fight. I think our main tank might have de-leveled because he died so many times.
Jaggedy earred jack does exist! Never got the drop though. I played this game for like 6 years and must have killed LL like 20 times and never got the boots. Not once. Seeing you get the drop however will allow me some peace. Not much though.
hahah I couldn't believe he dropped em for the video, yeah he was a huge pain in the ass over the years. thats awesome about Jaggedy, although sounds like he's even stingier than LL
I hunted jack every night for a few years. Got 2 drops. It was ridiculously hard to get the drop because it would die before TH did it's work every frickin time 🤨
Plot twist...Leaping Lizzy wasn't dropping often....because she was a training NM for camping NM's and getting claim despite hordes camping her.
I remember getting the original Leaping Boots from Lizzy before they changed her drop to a rare/exclusive version to combat RMTs and bot farming. Sold those things for a cool 300k after I got the bounding boots. Nothing compared to what they originally went for on the ah. @_@
haha damn thats way back, ya I remember I tried a bunch of times, as much for the gil as for the gear itself, nooo luck
My Lizzy luck was fantastic. Only killed it like 4 times in total for both drops. But Valkurm Emperor... my god. 40+ times before I finally got the R/EX hairpin -_-
Btw, what version are you running on, retail or steam? Been thinking about playing again and wasn't sure if Windower still worked with the steam version or not.
Don't bad it took me forever to get defending ring for my Pld like 500 tries
man I've heard horror stories about that defending ring, so glad its not really on my todo list...
I just recently got mine after going 0/16 with buying and getting Shanks...such a great piece for my Rune Fencer.
+Civickid96 nice GRATS, defending ring was a pain it broke me so many times lol
leaping lizzy and Jack the rabbit hunting. the spawns are based on like slot machine math. Get a bow stand in the area where they spawn. Kill everything you can reach with your bow, only taking 1-3 steps to 1 side or another. the nm will pop within bow range. No need to go running all over creation.
Leaping Lizzy I used to have down to a science, although when everyone was just killing every lizard in sight stuff got a little more complicated....but haha Jaggedy I could never quite figure out...wasn't ever sure how far away he could pop on me
my horror story was with Simurgh i camped this 24 hour respawn NM and claimed and killed it 19 days in a row back in the day and it just would not give me the "strider boots for my thf" :( ive thought about going back just to see if i could finally do it with a lvl 99 thf but idk
haha man, those 24 hour respawns were ridiculous. I've only ever tried it with a few nms. Those strider boots were awesome though....
Omg, simurgh! I camped that for years off and on. Never got the dam boots. I still think about that dam bird
Way back in High school, i camped Jagged Eared Jack (Stupid Rarab!) a ton. I wasn't a thief but my character was always poor and I just wanted the rabbit charm to sell it. After a week or so camping him off and on, I killed him probably 3-4 times and finally, on the last attempt he dropped the charm!!! I did a /tell to my friend and he thought I was lying until we met up and I proudly displayed my prize in my bazaar :^D. think i ended up getting around 800K for that puppy!
Damn that's awesome! I bet haha that thing was selling for a huge pile of gil back in the day
Lmao, the end had me laughing awkwardly loud to which my wife did a concern.
hahah I couldn't get over it
haha nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Kuroganashi
Camp Simurgh! Get them Trotters boye
haha good idea, I can include him in the 50-60 range vid too....those trotter boots were awesome
Jack IS real I've gotten the drop... once.
lies! haha thats awesome though, I'm determined to find him eventually
I was happy when I ran unto him but the one memory that still peaks my NM hunting days has to be the Peacock charm
I've seen the rabbit nm (not gonna try to spell it) XD
haha nuts, I honestly can't believe he never pops for me
Jaggedyearedjack
Moldavite Earring. I think I was the only BLM in my dynamis group that didn’t have one for about half a year. I camped it near enough daily, I think I was 0/52 on drops.
I heard that King Behemoth was a real dick when it came to giving up defending ring. I got the drop on my first and only kill. Luckiest drop I ever got in ffxi.
damn! yeah I hear thats still a huge pain in the ass, and man, he was like a 24 hour spawn originally right? I saw him once as a 30 BLM and got destroyed by his AOEs...didn't know they hit out of the party
Leaping boots were boss... as hairpin
I've killed Jagged-Eared Jack at least 10 times just for shits and giggles and 2 dropped for me and I had to stop telling me people that it dropped because they would get made at me. >.>;
get off this channel haha, omg thats ridiculous. thats sweet though, they sold for a crapload (at least on Odin)
Lmao grats on the boots :) Those sum bitches took me forever to get too!
thanks! ugh I can't believe it, especially for the video haha like what are the odds
cancer in kuftal tunnel is an asshole i never got the sword drop @_@. even on a private server.
I'm one of the few people on my server that had that sword. Killed that bastard for 2 weeks straight until i got it. @_@ 1/1 on Leaping Lizzy though! HaHa!
that sword was pretty sweet, cancer was a huuuge pain in the ass though for sure. haha yeah it's always like that, 1/1 on some and then 1/50 on others no one has a problem with
0/1000000 on lizzy, I had issues back in the day with Morbolger for the MNK brown belt quest, spent months in Ordelle's Caves.
ooomph he was the 24 hour one right? that brown belt quest was awwwful. I think I only ended up with 2/3 pieces, the Morbolger and dodo skin, never could get that Nue Fang...
Correct he was 24 hours, good times.
Don't hate me. I went 1/1 on Leaping Lizzy.
haha damn you, I couldn't be too upset though. I got lucky on so many NMs, I think leaping lizzy was trying to get back at me
I've always thought of Lizzy as female
I don't know exact number but....
0/100 JEJ
....
....
Many hours lost.
Have your sins been forgiven today and forever? Think about this. The God of the bible, the One True God made us to worship him, obey him, and enjoy him forever. We break His laws daily by not putting Him first, not thanking Him like we should, we lie, we lust, we have sex before marriage, we dishonor our parents, we covet things other people have, we take God's name and use it in vain, we use it in a low manner, sometimes as a cuss word, (God is holy and even His name is holy), we don't love like we should, etc. In doing so we're saying He's not a good provider, He's a liar, He's untrustworthy, He's not worthy of praise. All these things and more are counted against us. The bible says God is the just judge of the world and one day He will settle the score for all the wrong we've done. God is holy meaning He is righteous (morally perfect in thought, word, and deed) It also means He is set apart and higher than us. God being good, must punish all sin or wrong doing in the world. This means that if you sin one time God will cast you in hell for eternity. Because He is good and He doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. But there is good news. 2000 years ago Jesus the Son of God came into this world and lived a perfect life ( He never sinned once) and He died on the cross taking the wrath that we deserve and paid the penalty for the sins we committed. The bible says that if you will repent (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in what Christ did on the cross (He took the wrath of God that was meant for you and I) then all your sins will be forgiven and when you die you will be in heaven with God and all who believe for eternity. Jesus died and on the third day He rose from the grave. Get right with God today don't wait. Once you die after that comes the judgement. Hebrews 9:27 It's the most important thing you can do. You must be born again John 3:7 If you repent and trust in what Christ did on the cross it shows that you've been born again or born spiritually. Right now you're dead in your sins and you can't see the beauty of Jesus Christ but after you trust in Christ all the things you hate about God like obeying him, serving Him, loving Him and others, reading the bible, praying and going to church you will love to do those things because God changes your heart. That's how you know you have been born again and forgiven. Please think long about this and ask me any questions you have as this is the most important thing you can ever think of in your life. An eternity in hell (darkness and a lake of fire the bible describes it, with weeping and gnashing of teeth) or an eternity out of that place and into the loving arms of God who is infinitely glorious, has infinite knowledge and has infinite power to do all that He pleases. You decide. Have a great day!
