Was going on a supply run to Cape Terrigan but ofcourse I was going the wrong way. 46 WHM/BLM wasn't even going to fight the golden bat at first then I thought to myself why not, Ive camped this thing many times with THF not one single drop. Killed it got drop 1/alot
Firstly, Golden Bat can pop in two separate caves. Secondly, like Leaping Lizzy, he can pop anywhere from 30min to 4+ hrs. And if You only stay in the south cave, or the north cave, then your chances drop naturally. So team up with a buddy, have your buddy go to the south cave and u stay in the north, or vice-versa, and kill away until he pops. My experience, he pops mostly in the North. Goodluck.
When you get to the tunnel at B-8 (by the Gustav Tunnel) kill the two bats, but, if you sub /war, use berserk after killing the first bat because the timer for you to be able to use berserk again is 5 min., and the spawn for the Giant Bats are 5 min., so there you got your little timer. Just keep repeating this step until the Golden Bat pops. I'm still not quiet sure what the spawn time is for the Golden Bat. right now, i'm 0/2, so i'm still working on it. Good Luck hunting^^

Well after a night of unsucessfully farming the monster signa in giddeus with two ls members, and still desperate for $$, i decided on farming the golden bat for a while. well i killed about 5 PH giant bats and and got the NM to pop. when i started attacking it, i said in my head 'you know its not gonna drop'. so i fought the thing like it was any other mob. BAM 1/0 on the night cape. its sitting on ah right now for 80k. now i hope it sells.

I'm 2/2 now (THF32/WAR16) and I plan on camping it again sometime soon and I'm sure I'll get it again.
this is not true i went in a pt with me m8 that is a lvl 43 thf and had th 2 and tryed to get me one of the capes but it didnt drop we had a fight on the golden bat twice and it still didnt drop i was a lvl 18 thf as well

This is not an "almost guaranteed drop" with TH1. I am 1/5 on this with TH1 and 1/2 without TH1 (2/7 overall.) Go figure. TH1 should help, of course, and I have prob just been unlucky on my TH1-equipped drop rate, but having it does not make this a sure thing. Cape currently sells for ~80k on Shiva.
when i camped it there was anther smn there, i waited like 30 min and he poped, casted dia on him and killed him, but no drop. i was lvl 39 blm the smn there was 39 too. 0/1
Just camped em for the first time and what do you know...drop. 59DRK/29THF 23:00 game and kuftal zone area. He spawned right as a giant bat did to. hope this helps ^^ 1/1
waiting on rest of party to in gustav tunnel.i was with 1 party member while he was resting i was using ranged att on the bats so they wouldnt attack him.
i att one without looking at his ame he gets up help me kill him off i see a cape drop going sweet nice drop for a bat.....
until about 5 minutes after it's death i realize it is a NM bat, so i said we should lot since 2 of us fought it. we did and i got it so im 1/1 on him
other 1/1 NM EMP pin 1/1 ochiudo kote 1/1 stroper chyme 1/1 <now 4/300... retired this guy obviously since rare/exe>
Camped this bat a few times as due to the hours i get to play i can only really pt with my DRK on the weekends, i sat at the gustav zone spawn and killed all the bats that popped there for two hours the first time i went and about 90mins the other two times, first two i got a bat wing and 3rd i got the cape, looks good on my drks back and is nice and cheap at 0gil for me :)

I'm camped this guy several times off and on. An LS member was leveling his Ninja in the Dunes and wanted me to bring him some shihei. After I gave him his items I figured I'd go see if anyone was camping the Golden Bat right before we all had to log out for maintenance. I get there and find that no one is camping him so I spent around an hour killing placeholders until he finally popped. I hadn't had much luck with this guy the other 6 times I camped him, but this time I got lucky. I've wanted this cape for a long time and I refused to buy something that I could camp. Finally got lucky.
Golden Bat: 1/7

Oh it was great! I'd been partying in in Gustav Tunnel and came outside to rest up before heading to San d'Oria. While resting I went afk to use the bathroom.
When I come back, what do I find but a Golden Bat beating on me (lvl 41 THF/NIN). Tricky *******.

Figured Id go kill some banshees and I see a gob ripping apart a lvl17 pt. They called for help and I killed it, and beleive it or not, Night cape dropped.

LIE ALL LIES! YOU DONT EVEN GET GIL IF YOU HELP WITH A GOB! YOU LIE! THERE ARE NO DROPS FROM HELPING PEOPLE KILL OTHER MOBS! LIAR! Not to mention that it's only droped off of a certain mob and only one mob. SE programmed it that way. I hope you seriously don't play this game and just wanted to be cool otherwise I'd slap your head off so hard.
Camped this NM for quite a while last night. I'm currently 1/3 on the drops now, and I've only seen it 4 times. When I was there, I had someone constantly /tell me to leave it alone, claiming he needed the Cape for his Black Mage. Wow, he must be a really special BLM to be able to wear this thing!
I appreciate that quite a few people do want these items for their specific jobs, but if you're gonna lie to me about it, at least get your facts right before you do! He was a level 50+ Dragoon, and he asked me what I wanted the drop for. Told him plain and simple - Dispel is over 60,000g and I need the money. What's the point in lying?
I also cannot believe some of the comments I have read here. Training mobs onto people fighting NMs so they die and you get to kill it? Do you people have no shame? What a selfish and pathetically ignorant thing to do.
I camped this bat alone yesterday about 4 real hours, I need the mantle for my THF. This damn bat didn't spawn at all!!!! I was so angry, all the time standing at (B-8). I subjobed NIN but all the bats spawed were those Giant bats, dammit!!!
dang, this NM must suck for you guys, i had a drop with TH1 with like 2/6 but finally got TH2 and got about 5/7, i know it's not worth camping, but less camped, and easiest to camp. As long as you have spare time, just sit around and camp it. id rather camp this then farm. i'm to lazy to make any effort to press "W,A,S,D, go behind press CTRL + 4" "you obtain Black tiger fang" for all the thfs out there, have fun.
