1/2 during the full moon phase. 75 BLU, just stunned and kept him silenced and drained his MP when I got bored. He hit between 90-130 when he actually connected, and it seemed like he tended to use his 2hr around 20-30% HP.
Piece of advice: If you have a 100 cooking friend it's much cheaper to make the goblin drinks then buying for 4-5k each off the auction house.
Also, if you have a map of the area, just mark where the 3 points are. It makes running between them much faster when you know where you're going.
0/7 on this. Too bad it only activates when you've got >85% HP. The item isn't useless, but for that drop-rate they should have lowered the requirements (e.g. >75% HP).
Hades server, 0/12 and nothing to show for it. Kinda just tempted to give up on it. :/ We even got the goblin helm...which has less of a drop % than the gorget.
I went 1/1 on this last night. Went in as 75 bst/whm and spawned it at the scrawled writtings in the G-13 grid. The fight was pretty east, Carrie pretty much just tanked it, go figure. It probably took about 7% of my pets HP down before it died, and surprise surprise the gorget dropped. I was pretty happy since I only bought one drink, finding out only after I was in the oldton mavopolis that it was about a 30% drop rate.
Pretty good piece for PLD, not to point out the obvious.
Good luck to people going for it, I would say that its probably soloable by bst at or around lvl 63~ if you play it right... and probaly by any job at lvl 70.
I dont wear it full time. Basically have it on at the end of fight and while I rest. I have it on for the first flash and then switched out by my provoke macro which swaps in enmity and then DD piece.
I think I was 1/3-4 on this drop. I'm somewhat disappointed in this piece. In order for the latent effect to activate, your health has to be pretty near full. Deactivation of the latent effect is not when your hp is in the yellow range. Your hp can still be in white and the latent will deactive. It's not a bad piece, but I think the latent effect activation is not too great.
i use this as my 75 PLD so i decided id actually test it out... i was undeer the impression ur health had to be orange or below to activate.... so i got on here to see why my mp wasmnt going up.... DRK55/THF15 (farming)
1/12 finally lol soloed as 75rdm/37nin with good str gear and duelists, he never touched me once and his two hour was pitiful lol after 12 successful solo attempts i got the drop ^^ go me lol, savage blade dealt 600 odd to it and just scratched its hp 0.0
Camped the Scrawled Writing points for Coralee since she was the only one who needed it. 1st NM pop no drop. 2nd dropped. It was a very easy fight as we had 4 people O.o.
Don't remember too much about the fight as it was over so dang quick. I nuked and THF did the usual massive dmg THF stuff. I think the WHM used Holy. A quick and fun NM though for those who need it. 2MP tick MP refresh on PLD is nice. :)
After Stoneskin wears off, use Regen and Cures after that. Stoneskin is too expensive MP wise that you're better off healing the rest of the fight.
yeah, cos that makes sense. stoneskin costs 29mp. regen is 15, regen II is 36, how did you work out that stoneskin isnt worth it batman? Cure II = 24... stoneskin saves alot more HP than cure II does. Damn, some people >.< 0/9 on this **** btw, if your tight on gil, dont bother! even at 5k a go for goblin drink, it all adds up.

i figure id let ppl kno this (those who can't find scrawled writing), please check the areas thoroughly and i cant stress that enuff, at the I9 spawn i popped this Gob in 2 diff locations in I9 its not always the same spot in the same map square just keep that in mind
Saw a bunch of shouts for help with this NM in whitegate, looked it up and since I like to solo things on my NIN decided I'd give it a try the next morning, first off, the "Scrawled Writing" pops in more than 3 places -_- drove me nuts tryin to find it, got mine at H-9, NM was pitiful, casted Ni once, all I needed and am 1/1 on a drop I dont need since neither DRK or PLD is within 10lvls on 50 >.>
1/2 on this. We did this earlier tonight in less than an hour. Out of curiousity, does the latent effect work if your HP is 100%? Or is it just 85-99% ?
Well let me start off by saying I soloed this wolfman with my 75drk/thf. Funny part about it, I was camping the Bugbear Strongman for the SAM store TP +6 pants, when killing the PH's I noticed a 75blm and a 55+ pld, got wiped right next to where i was camping (was kinda wondering wtf how did a 75 blm and a 55+ pld die in here). After killing the PH i was fighting i noticed a gob standing next to them. (didn't know it was the NM for this drop). So I started to attack it, the 75 blm /tells me that this a pretty hard fight with no healers. So when I stuned him, then ran behind him for a SA Spiral Hell WS attack, I noticed I hit for 1550 but only took his life down about 25%. So i went into panic mode and Dread Spiked, Last Resort, Soul Eater, and 2hr Blood Weapon. Fight was over quick, if it wasn't for dread spikes I would have got wiped quick.
After soloing with my DRK/THF i called a LS buddy who needed it too (75PLD/WAR) hes comes out and we build 300 TP, he pops it and we kill it in 3 hits, Swift Blade 667 DMG + Spiral Hell 1990 DMG = Darkness SC 1990 DMG, fight was over in 10 secs or less. I am 3/3 on this wolfman, better known as a deadman.
I soloed him as a 71 RDM/DRK. I helped a friend earlier and then went back and tried it myself. He hits hard when he uses bloodweapon. I used my 2hour a lil bit after he used his. drained and aspired all my mp+hp back and continued to vorpal blade him to death. I kept spikes, SS, and phalanx up. And kept casting gravity, Bio2, and poison and he went down pretty quickly. got the drop for my friend and myself
