Requesting the impossibleFollow

I can't remember if I've opened a thread with this request before, but if I did, I apologize.

Ok I'm still in search of the infamous Morbolger for my brown belt. If ANYONE has seen him or knows an approximate time of death, PLEASE let me know. /em flips off Morbolger's 24-36 hour spawn time. ><

I don't really need any help killing him, I just need to know when to be there. I've heard of sites showing ToDs of NMs but I can't see how that's even really feasible. Anyways, if you have any info I'd GREATLY appreciate it.

Well, Leet... I have a bit of good news for you.

My LS killed it at 6PM, EST about 3 months ago.

>.>

Okay... that doesn't help much. But I still ave some good news.

Morbolger USED to be a 24-36 hour spawn. That was changed a few months back to 21-24 hours. That makes things a bit easier.

That quest STILL sucks.

Well, Leet... I've got more bad news for you. That time means nothing for 2 reasons.

First of all, we killed it at 6PM. Let's say it spawned 22 hours later. 4PM. Then 23 Hours. 3 PM. 21 Hours. 12 PM. The time could be anything by now.

Also, all timed spawns (such as Morbolger) are re-set every time there's server maintenence, like we had last month.

Sorry, bro... but this quest is never that easy. ><

Yet another trial in the life of a Monk.

Anyway, here's a link to a post of mine on the Monk Forums detailing my "fun" with the quest.

How much does the brown belt go for?

I haven't seen the brown belt cheaper than 1 mil lately... perhaps thats just other's showing it off and not really selling it.

I know of a mnk that has a black belt. Forgot his name though >< one of my linkshell members Kurosawa would know, Dude is a all around guy. From what he told me the black belt is like I |2 L337 status /em cleans fingers off yuck! I have yet to see one on a mnk, but i will give you the mnk that holds it once i get his name from my ls member ^^

You are probably referring to Decimus, as far as I know hes one of the few NA MNKs on cerberus that has it lol. He had back when I XP'ed with him around level 70 or so in Kuftal, its awesome the damage he could do @@;

lol thanx for pointing that out Faustus ^^ btw 2 more lvls till 60. then i'll post my death tally in obtaining the coveted hat of pimpness. As for your monster Leet good luck!

As far as I can tell, the three rare/ex black belt items are "throw away" items, so hopefully the HNM shells dont get too caried away on allowing nearby monks to lot on them. Worth a few hundred k to some, but who knows.

I bought my brown belt, but would really like to earn one to clear the way to black. Actually I'm still working on the rams sadly for the purple belt. It's amazing how many people farm those bastards still. Last time I took a pass through on chocobo there were 5-7 people ram hunting. Is thf/rng the only job with a hope of claiming a ram NM nowadays? >.< On that note, why do people farm these? Ram parts are so-so, and purple belt is what? 10k? What else is there? Lanolin cube???

FYI, the vine for brownbelt appears in a BCNM now (according to rumors), so if you dont like the 24 hour window you can always sacrifice an orb for a chance at one ^^ (A complete waste, sadly, but if it gets me closer to black belt, why not?) Sadly the new malboro BCNM is L75 party (uncapped).

Yeah I thought of that. But so does every other monk on the server. :-b

Hardly. Here's a trick to that. If you have a friend that is willing to help you out (they can even make some money while doing it), have them run around and kill the regular ram pops. The NMs (Rampaging and Lambert) have static pop positions. The regular rams, however, have a VERY broad spawn area. So if you were hunting Lambert, park yourself at F-9 just down off the hill and have your buddy run around and slaughter the battle rams. Maybe make a deal with them that they can keep all the horns and skins so it's worth their time too.

For Rampaging, sit just north of the Shattered telepoint on Crag Dem. The pop area on Tremor Rams isn't near as bad as the one for Battle Rams. This is how I finally decided to do it and it worked great. Man it felt good to finally whip on Lambert. :-b

I might spend a good chunk of Saturday with my butt parked in Ordelle's. :-/
