Damascene Cloth Help Me Out....if you want >.<Follow

First off please don't flame me for this since i am serious and i am hoping to get these ASAP.
I have a friend who is willing to to Craft me a Vermillion Cloth all i need to get is the 3x Damascene Cloth. I am currently saving gil to buy them but i am hoping i won't have to buy them...

My Goal: Getting a Vermillion Cloak so i am ready for lvl 59 before i get there, while spending as little as possible.

Here is my offer/idea: since Aquarius seems to be the easiest to camp. I only want the Cloth everything else is unimportant to me, I do realize its 1.2~mil(last i checked) i am willing to give up all the other drops including the gil(if any), I will also bring supplies to 3x Astral Flow/Diamond Dust for each fight.

I am currently slowly saving gil through crafting, farming, BCNMing and anything else i can find to make gil to buy the cloths hopefully before they get even more expensive.

Nothing else drop but rock salt and water crystal and that rare/ex axe that everyone seem to have.

I noticed that lol, esentially this was meant to be more of those who are willing to camp it just for the sake of it, also supposedly it drops gil which from other NMs that i have fought solo/with others its usually the same amount.

As to what else i can offer up well there isn't much. Since i normally farm 20-30k since that is what i normally go through on a weekly basis.

And i do realize the Axe can be gotten fairly easily since most will let you join for the axe, but this is also just about helping out someone in need if you feel like it. being that eventually i am going to bite the bullet and pay for the cloth if no one wants to help me, its fine with me.

Heck i am even willing to set up a deal with those who may have it and aren't really hurting for Gil to pay you over time the current price, just so i am sure that i can get it for the price it is at now, since i have a feeling the price is just going to keep going up. If i am wrong and it ends up droping oh well i lose but i won't go back on any agreement made.

Not really sure if anyone here trusts me much but again, I am only hoping for help, I don't expect anything from anyone since no one really knows me, at least i don't think so >.<. But I do keep my word, even if it kills me a few times. lol

Thank you for looking at least.

Edit: Feel free to offer up any other NM/HNM you think we can camp. I only mentioned Aquarious since he is the only one that is a 2hour pop and not a 21-24 pop.

you can also camp King Artho, he drops the cloth as well. Harder fight though.

I believe there is a BCNM now that drops this as well, anyone know for sure?

You do realize that the crab is requires a lv67ish pt at least? Astral flow won't do much and it may even have no effect since there's a very very wide level gap between it and you. King Artho in Jugner is a better idea but it is usually camped by JP and claiming it is difficult. Also have to remember that the drop rate for the cloth off Aquarius is horrible. Maybe like 1-5% or something around that. Over a dozen have been killed and one has yet to drop.

Give the galka a break. I know Buni's done the research on this stuff (because he's a freak like that(and besides, when you're a galka mage that gets picked on, ya just hafta be a step ahead)), so he knows what he's getting into.

His reason for posting is simple: If you feel like helping him, he's trying to give it a shot at hollering in these boards for some of that help from the higher ups.

He knows that he's way under level to be fighting most of the mobs that drop the cloth. But when you think about it, with him being a Galka, and a mage, this equip is very important by the time he reaches 60 (which is why he's farming his butt off to get it beforehand and asking for help for anyone willing to try camping it with him).

No use pointing out that his low level might do nothing but scratch at the mob, because if he were any higher, he'd already have the equip and this topic would never exist.

Well i have a few things to say:
Thank you everyone who offered to help for the sake of helping.
Thank you those who even tried to offer gil since you could not help.
And Thank you Apollonious^^ As i now have a signed Cloak.

Now i no longer have need for aquarious at least not for myself however my offer will still stand for anyone else who needs it or the axe or ever rock salt lol. Either way i will still help you camp it and pulling out at least 2x astral flow.

As to the this comment:

Won't do much? at 55 i did 654 damage with 1 Judgement Bolt after a PT ended and i was exploring, granted he ripped through ramuh almost fast enough to get me while warping away but i lived, now that would have been 1800+ damage and who know how much on MBs against him. As to the lvl gap well um, ya SMN never ever go up against mobs that are a lot higher than they are do they, lol. And unlike other jobs we are extremely limited to how we can improve our avatars stats since they do the work. As to the 1-5% well you know what that is 1-5% i wouldn't have had otherwise.

Anyways back to the real reason for my final post on this topic at least i hope final lol.

Thank You Everyone
