Talk:Bugbear Strongman

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

  • I haven't camped this NM quite enough to say for sure, however, I don't think this is a 2-3 hour respawn, or if it is, theres another factor involved. I've had to wait 3 hours or longer every time so far, so, I'm not really sure whats up but it doesn't seem to be a 2-3 hour spawn. UPDATE: I spent a lot of time camping this today and it is definitely not a 2-3 hour spawn, I'll edit it. --Sorako 04:40, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
  • Been camping this the passed couple days, currently 0/6 on the Haidate, and I think I have it down on it's spawns. Basically there can be up to 3 Bondmans up. Two on one side and one on the other. The third Bondman, as well as the Strongman, will always be on the north side for the west pops and the east side for the east pops. I think the third pop are seperate placeholders for the Strongman. In that, the third on each side is a seperate placeholder for a seperate Strongman, hence why they can pop one after the other. --Futan 15:50, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

On the topic of its repop timers, the dats show two Bugbear Strongmans, which is why it may give the impression of strange repop timers. --Nynja 19:13, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Just a note about soloing this NM, it can definitely be done at lower lvls than the page says. I myself soloed it at 45 rdm, and my friend did it all the time at 55 thf and rdm. So don't always listen to the guides. And yes it will link everything unless you hold right at its spawn point, don't let it move at all from that spot.

  • Camped and poped once after 32 PH today, using method describe on the page non stop. So pop can be really long even if there is 2 nm. So far it can be from 14m14s (not seen yet) to 455m... or even more ? --Nargo 23:50, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Dropped it 1/5 with TH3. It can pop right after on its another PH. --Joelapache 16:25, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
  • I have been camping this as 60 PLD/ 27 WHM for approximately 13 hours now on the Asura server and have yet to see it spawn. Did not see anyone else camping it the entire time. 0/0 on day 1. UPDATE: Camped this again the following day for about 6 hours. I went 1/4 on the Aikido Koshita and 1/4 on the Shinimusha Haidate (separate drops). All four pops were within the last 2 hours roughly (about an hour between them). Both times they spawned back to back in the opposite spawn points. The fights were very easy with Vorpal Blade, Regen, and the occasional Cure III.

  • This NM's pop method is same as Leaping Lizzy. This is a True Lottery spawn meaning it CAN spawn whenever a PH is killed but seems to have significantly lower chances of spawning. The reason the DATS show two is because there are two of the NM which is what makes it true lottery however their pops are mutually exclusive meaning they can't be up at the sametime. Therefore I have removed SPAWNS:2 from the page. If anyone sees two Bugbear Strongman up at once please take a screenshot. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Majicked (talk • contribs).
