Talk:Taisaijin

Could someone please add the pop location(s) to the chart and/or an NM map? --Fenrir Muarg 2:48am EST 1/12/09

Okay, if "it drops refresh" was a joke, why is refresh listed as a drop? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Criswell (talk • contribs).

I think the in-game background adequately explains the joke. It's irony. --◄Chrisjander► t/ c 17:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Taisaijin also casts refresh. Awesome. --Bsphil 08:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Last night after Dynamis-Beaucedine I had decided that I wanted to get the hat/title. I went over to his spawn area but he wasn't up so I figured "Hey, why not stay logged in" so if he was up in the morning I could grab him. I went to bed and being as tired as I was I forgot he aggroed level 75's... I woke up later early in the morning and I was in Aht Urhgan (lol). I immediately panicked and checked the chat log - Aces was defeated by the Taisaijin... >.<; . Ran back on MNK and got in and he was still up luckily - Was an easy fight as 75MNK/NIN as he only hit me once and landed paralyze once. 0/1 though... and so it begins ;; —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aces of fairy (talk • contribs).

Spawn Talk

Taisaijin can be spawned even if one of the Taisai has been killed. While I was camping this NM a WAR came through and killed one of the Taisai. Disgusted I logged out, about 30 min or so later I decided to run to town and put a few things up at the AH When I logged back in there was Taisaijin looking at me. Got the hat, the spell and the title. Hanooke June 4, 2008.

I killed Taisaijin twice last year on consecutive days. The first ToD was June 3rd, 2007, 9:49 PM PST (VD time: 9:24). The next day, I killed him at 8:38 P.M. PST (VD time: 3:59). According to the current listing, Taisaijin should only have popped between 8:49 and 10:49 the second day. Although I was not at my computer the second time he spawned, he was not up 45 minutes before. He is able to respawn in less than 23 hours. Knightsaysni38 02:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I've just witnessed the "don't bother the Taisais" rule to be inaccurate. I attacked and cast Dia on all three without killing them with the intention of fixing the spawn timer, then Warped out. Approximately 20 hours later, Taisaijin spawned. Combined with the above, can it be inferred that the only actual rule is to not kill the placeholder? Jackanape September 7, 2008

After 3 consecutive days of camping this NM I have finally gotten my hat (1/3) and I would like to try and nail down his spawn times. From the past 3 days of camping I have noted that he was very inconsistant with his "23-25 hour pop" because for me he spawned the second time 36 hours after last death, and the final kill was 30 hours after last death. I have also noted that he does NOT spawn during full moon+new moon and dark/lightsday. His spawn seems completely random and to me should be noted as 23-72 hour spawn from one of the Taisai. Hope this info help! Happy hunting!--Aces of fairy 13:23, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Aces of Fairy

Oh how I wish I could say that 'finally' soon as well, at 0/21 now...
From what I've seen, it most often is quite close to that 24 hours. Not many times have I witnessed it vary several hours. The furthest it kept me waiting till now is 29 hours. I haven't bothered with the moon, game time or day unfortunately... I just wish people would let the Taisai live, lol. It is not easy to think of something more frustrating than standing there, waiting for Taisaijin to spawn in less than an hour at the least, and someone waltzes over and slaughters the Taisai right there. ;|

There certainly is more to this, than what is commonly known and thought.
One of the times after killing Taisaijin and staying around there, I saw people killing all the Taisai, YET Taisaijin was there again after less than 2 days...
I will probably continue on going after him at times even though I got the hat, (FINALLY!) just to learn more about it and...well...it is kinda hard to just stop going there. ó.ò

Drop Talk

Has anyone seen Refresh not drop? Curious --Blaubont 03:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Only when I already had one in my possession. Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 06:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Saw him up 24 hours after maintenance. Drop sure isn't a 100%! For such a stupid drop you would think he would fork over the hat easily, but noooo he has to be a little *beep* *beep*. I'm 0/6 after killing him 6 straight times after maintenance. Still mad... --Wagner17 19:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't agree more. 0/21 for the moment and counting... It really could be dropping more often, especially since the blob of eyes can be a menace to even meet up with. I wants me hat...I needs it! Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 11:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Finally got it, at 1/27  ! !! !
\o/ That thing took almost a year to get lol. Not camping it daily though but yeah, finally it is over though now I feel a little empty inside... Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 00:08, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
