He was easy and fun to kill. I got mine bymself. Was at the right place wrong time.. I was alone, I saw him Questioned what it was at first, a named mob?? I pwned it.. and he dropped my Peacock Amulet.

Case Closed.

... funny guy

Maybe because the window is very long and if you team up with some people you can keep track of pop/ToD more easily?

But camping Argus is one of the most painful thing you can do in this game so you might lose your partner(s) if they get the amulet before you.

you're right, Pray, Argus isn't hard, but like Liquidz said, his window is a ***. just seeing if there are any other people honest enough that would be willing to stick it out with me for the Amulet, since the team route may be a bit easier. and i have yet to get lucky like Neonracer and just be at the right place at the right time, and i'm certainly not counting on that luck kicking in anytime soon. anyway, shoot me a /t in game yada yada yada...

as for Nyzul Isle, that'd be a good option if i were in a LS that consistently did runs. until then...

and Orphanos, we've talked before in game as i was drooling over your Amulet/Belt and i think getting the Velocious Belt would be more of a challenge than the Peacock Amulet. i was hoping to maybe recruit a couple of people that would be willing to camp some NMs with me. worth a shot.

Ayodogan, I was with a pal of mine dualing theives in Newton Movaopulous on the Goblin's Pet for dualing.. and when I was done, I got a Tele to Mea and then went to Maze of Shakrami, knowing that I still needed my Hume Sachet.. from the Aroma Crawler.. Well....

... it was that weekend that I went to visit my family 1 hour away and when I came back I logged in and IDK I was signing in where the Mob rested.. so I was sitting in the Spawn area..
So here I am going to go get the Aroma Crawler.. and I /sea the area.. absolutley no one, well maybe 2 ( call me a liar but is 2 ppl + me really worth it to say ppl were here? LOL anyways...)

I just rotated my game pad to look around.. I see argus.. No one else around, I'm like WTF? whsoe that? I go to view it, Impossible to Gauge.. its a named Monster.. F it.. I go to claim it.. He goes down in like minutes b/c im lvl 71, and he drops a shitoad of stuff, Eyeballs, mercury and p charm...

Now tell me thats luck? I call it having a goddamn Shiniest, "Purdiest" Horse Shoe Up my *** that Night.

^.^b

Also I forgot to mention: BCNM runs try those on Full moon, UO Under observations. Now thats the PPC Perfect Peacock Charm.. and if you decide to sell, Net u some Nice gil in yer pocket!

hahah good story, Neon. unfortunately for me i'm obsessed with the Rare/Ex items, so getting the Peacock Amulet from Argus is more about pride than anything else, which kinda sucks :)

It took you minutes to kill Argus?

And no one is going to do an "Argus static" since one player can easily stay awake the 12hrs if they pay attention. It's even better if you can afk properly.

It's an interesting and certainly a considerate concept however the reality of it is, odds are the gravity of waiting in the window for others will become less and less likely especially once one has obtained their amulet, they certainly won't want to go back ever again.

Same rule applies to Eastern/Western Shadow. I think the layout of that small room of Fei'Yin is permanently engraved in my mind, and I STILL have yet to get v.bow -.-

ursocool.

18-30 =/= a 12hr window.
It's not hard to stay up through the whole window since believe it or not people actually play for a good 12hrs at some point.

There's a difference between actually playing for 12 hours and sitting in a remote room waiting for something to show up for 12 hours.

explain how you "afk properly." and the real point of having a static is so you can have a better chance of claiming Argus instead of waiting through a 12-hour window only to have him pop on the other side of the room where you have no chance.

like i initially said, i'm looking for "honest" people to help camp, meaning if i get the drop i'll help until they get the drop, no matter how shitty it might be, and vice versa. i suppose you could argue that there aren't any honest people out there, but i haven't lost all faith in that yet.

I have a good story. I went to sleep AFKing at Argus camp, to possibly get a ToD. I had to wake up early and go to the bathroom (luckily I drank a few cups of tea the night before). I woke up, decided to check the PC, so I turn on the monitor, and who is sitting directly in front of me? None other than crazyeyes himself. Claim but no drop. Next day, drop. :)

Everyone thought I was afk the entire time (which I was) so they were surprised to see me claim it lol. Still, I have to collect R/eX items as well. I won't be leveling monk or RNG until I get the fei'yin NM drops. Just a weird OCD-type thing I have.

/slap

Read the rest of his posts. He's not asking for help killing the mob, he's asking if people would like to team up and have more chance of a claim / drop.
