Okay, I'm a long way from Sacrarium access, so I'm camping Chonchon for the Headlong belt in the meantime. Anyone have stories? so far I've seen him pop twice in 30 minutes and it dropped belt both times o0
Edit: makes moar sense now

Just wait, in a while the AH will have so many it'll be cheap. (:
Thats if the window is 60-90minutes.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking if I can't get claim, mad campers out now. With high drop rate and short respawn it will be probably be cheaper than a quick belt lol

Don't be gimp and get Swift! =P
But seriously, good luck with this camp. I'm sure everyone and their dog will be out there. Like Hiryo said, it'll be cheap on the AH fairly soon.

Reminds me a lot of Skoggs Fru and the Ecphoria Ring. The first few hit the AH on Remora for something in the neighborhood of 500k (first sale was about 800k iirc) and within a month of 20+ campers in the zone the ring was down to 60k.
If the 60-90 minute window is correct, and the drop rate is as generous as is being reported, I'd expect this item to level out at around 100-150k.

I have killed it 3 times, and seen it killed 1 other time and its only dropped once (to the other guy).
It seems to be a 90 min respawn (went back to back 90mins repop 3 times in a row last night).
But give it a few weeks and they will be worth as much as life belts were before FoV came in (5-10k), as he supply will be massive and the demand will drop off fast.
The belt is only for filling the 6 lvl gap between 44 and 50 any way (and for those that can't get swift to drop... Myself included).

Extremely high drop rate for such a good item in my opinion. I camped this NM yesterday and got drop 1/2. I had TH3 of course though. Anyways, lemme let you in on a little secret. Take your pants (leg armor lol) off before you kill it! I swear it improves drop rate. Got moldy earring, Headlong Belt and many other items doing this haha.

after seeing that this is selling for 600-800k on phoenix i have to say im fairly tempted to camp it lol.
but since i dont have a swift belt yet ill more than likely be using it, but on the bright side i would be able to sell the belts i have atm :P
