Thats whay Mee Deggi the punisher should really be called. Im 0/8 on that Yag. And I dont want to resort to go to the AH and buy it when I can get it dropped. Has anyone had crazy bad luck like me with NMs?
I love the title of this thread. But yes, my luck is terrible. I'm trying to think, of all the NMs I've killed, many of them multiple times (some more than five or six, which is plenty for a casual camper)... I can't recall EVER getting "the" drop, whatever it was for each mob.
I've often gotten the second tier drop if there was one, and I do okay with named mobs like Spook... but NMs? They hate me.
I was PLing Renna's SMN at Giddeus, and all the Hoo Mjuu bots were there. Hoo Mjuu spawned behind them and was walking around lol. I just casted Dia on him and killed him, I thought it was funny how I killed him like a regular mob while PLing Renna and the bots didn't get him.
don't take the NM thing too serious. Think of it this way, the time you spend camping that NM, you can make the money from farming and buy the item you desire. It feels more like an accomplishment that way. You can tell the person who camped it for over 36 hours of game time, "Hey look I paid you to do my dirty work. Wanna shovel my snow next?" I have Valkyrie's Mask and Leaping Boots on my WAR. I didn't camp those I bought them. I'd rather kill tigers than sit around in some low level zone arguing with other people about who's taking whose camping spot and what-not.

I've tried Mee Deggi a few times, but never got the claim. All I can say to this is, NM camping is one way to get an item you desire, whether directly camping the mob or camping another for the money. However, it is not the ONLY way. I think you'll realize the point where you just *CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE* and will resort to farming or getting the item in some other fashion. Only advice is: be open-minded to other ways of getting it and, no, you're not the only one with bad luck on NMs >.<
The only NM I've really camped is Jaggedy-Eared Jack once (but only for fun) and got the drop. I find camping when you need gil to be way too frustrating, leaving huge holes for error.
