Buzz's Big Book of NM HuntingFollow

For eveyone out there that wants to hunt a NM, I have started a "Cheat Sheet".
This is a work in progress so I would ask if you have any suggestions/comments to please post!!
Also, if you want more in-depth information on the NM, please click on the link provided.

The following is a breakdown of when a Notorious Monster (NM) spawns, how it spawns (Lottery, Timed, etc),
and what its level range and drop is.

Explanation of Spawn Types:
Lottery:		         When a placeholder mob is killed there is a chance that the NM will spawn in their place. 
Timed:			A NM will not spawn before X minutes since last death. 
Timed/Lottery:		After X time there is a chance that the NM will spawn in place of a placeholder mob. 
Activated/Triggered:	You have to make the NM spawn.  Usually by trading something or investigating a certain item.


Please note that the times are not always fixed.
Some have 1hr -> 15 min type patterns. Not to mention, some mobs will defy all the rules and spawn when they want to.

A * after an item means that it is what the NM is usually camped for.
A ? after the Spawn Type means that there is some discussion as to what the spawn type is. It also means that the spawn type may not be confirmed.

A note on the level ranges: As these are NMs, always add a couple levels to the max so that you can ensure a victory.
For example, a RDM at level 15 will have a pretty good fight with Spiny Spipi.

Levels 1 - 10

Wow Buzz, you're really going to town with this. This is great stuff (although I'm not a big fan of your 'Pre' formatted text. Good job.

Not to be grumpy, but...why not just use the NM list to the left?

All the information you've compiled can be found there already, plus a lot of info from campers who have posted in the specific NM threads.

It's not that I don't appreciate your work - I rated you up for the effort! But it seems a little bit redundant.

But hey, if it floats your boat, by all means, go ahead! :D

Thanks everyone. The reason for this format is if you want to print it or copy into a word doc. The Bestiary is great, however you have to go into each to see most of the info that is included. This is the lazy man's way of looking them up.
#14 Oct 05 2004 at 4:24 PM Rating: Decent
Crypt Ghost is a timed/Lottery pop. Every 5th set of bats (there are 3 in a set) that's cleared he'll spawn. Camped it with my boyfriend for his slacks and like clockwork he'd pop.

I happen to like this list better because 1: it shows the pop type ( lottery, etc) and 2: it lists the drops right there. It makes it very printable and easy to reference. Nothing wrong with the side nm list. This is just my preference.

I will print out and use the thing frequenty. Rate up.

I've been looking for this sort of thing for a very long time. Very good information, nicely arranged by level. Can't wait to check back as it unfolds.

There's some fantastic information about items that I never gave much thought to for my main job, but that might be fun to go camp with/for lower level jobs.

Rate up!
#17 Oct 05 2004 at 4:48 PM Rating: Decent
I actually have a good comment to add!!!! i used to hunt that crypt ghost and found out the bats are placeholders and the bats respawn after about 8 min on avg there is three per spawn. if u get there right after crypt ghost spawns every 6 or 7 bat spawns later .... about 1 hr 30 min.... he pops and it is true trust me!! 0/4 in a row for it no one else camped it

This should get you Guru for sure. By the way, Tumbling Truffle can spawn anywhere inside the Monument ravine, not just before it.

just like to add that i killed him multiple times when farming and this has happened:

I killed him on one side of the mountain, and about 10 min later he spawned on the other side. so i don't believe hes a timed/lottery, just a lottery

Finished up the 21 - 30 range, now starting on the 31 - 40 range. Sorry about the word wrap issue, but it seems if you use pre in the message you have to manually wrap the lines.
