Made plans to go hunting for it in Ordelle's last Saturday earlier last week. Went as WHM65/THF32 and lost claim to a PLD on the first spawn (in the far back of the cave), so I went to sit next to the one near the stalactite dew. After a while I saw the PLD wander into where I was camped; it hadn't spawned there and obviously the PLD new the ToD on the one he killed and was presumably camping that spot so it obviously wasn't back there. So I hit Flee and ran to the F-4 spot, got it, killed it, and got drop.
1/1, yay for good luck. I'm gettin' my payback though, 0/2 on Ogygos last night >_>;
Goodness, this is a rather annoying thing to get. I had forgotten about the competition for the RSE armor way back.
Having to compete with about ten other people for a random spawn every 30 minutes is kinda irritating, especially with the friggin' low drop rate, which most likely forces the competition to stay even longer. Nice going with this one. >_<
Still this is a good piece since it takes up a virtually unused ammo slot for my Monk.
I just got this two nights ago by accident. It is nice for a BLM or DRK, and it's free. I killed the Crawler type Aroma monster in Maze of Shakrami as a 57 White Mage. I soloed the NM with no problem, and I only had like 250 MP when I started the fight (I clicked on the ??? and didn't know it would spawn a NM). From what I can tell, in the Maze, the only spawn points are where the drop-off ledges are at. The one I found was near the room with all the Catterpichillars, but I'm pretty sure there are other spots. The Balm Satchet dropped in first kill. I think this was just dumb luck, because afterwards, when I talked to my Linkshell, one guy said he was 0 of 12 attempts in trying to get it.
well depends on ur job. since i am a SAM 66 this is a much better item bcuz my last few WSs r based off my STR stat and any STR i can get i snag right away!
I just got this for my Hume last night in Gusgen Mines. The ??? mark was in the bottom cave in the NW section of the mines, just after you zone to the different map there should be a little shack in one of the smaller rooms before the big final room. In front of this shack lies one of the spawn ??? point for the Aroma NM ( There are multiple spawn points for this NM within each RSE area 'ordelles, gusgen, shakrami') . If you're the wrong race it will say you smell an odor and that's about it, if you're the correct race, well.. the mob will pop and attack you. I have killed these Aroma mobs within Ordelle's and Gusgen, total of 8 times, obviously the 8th time was when i received the drop. I had PT of 3 Lv.58WAR, 58MNK, 48THF.. Aroma LEECH Mob was soloed with my Lv.44 THF/NIN.
