Back before the level cap increased, this NM was a very dangerous hunt. He happens to be in one of the Archaic Mirror areas around its Truesight guards. Add to that, the local bugards that can link to the NM's 3 bugard pets. Plus, there are random Puks floating around also.
At 90+ nowadays, this fight is almost too easy. Even with the Mamool NM, its 3 pets, a linked bugard, and a puk I had to Snarl off me, Dipper was able to get the job done cleanly.
I waited until Dragonscaled Bugaal Ja was over toward a far corner, away from the TS mirror guards. Staying on the top ledge, I sent Dipper in to get him in a spot where I could manage any links accordingly. And while Dipper doesn't have any crowd control moves, Noisome Powder seemed to boost her longevity by quite a bit.
It was a long fight solo, but easy so long as you have pet food handy (and what self respecting BST doesn't). 1/1 on the drop, and from what I have been told, the bonus is around a 5% increase. Mind you, that's
These drop from Dragonscaled BugaalJa in Mamook. His repop is 72hours, and he has 3 pet Bugards.
The usual strategy to take the NM down is 3+ Bsts with 2hour'd Spiders, and a Puller (who 2hours on a Slime).
Puller pulls the NM and kites the Bugards with the slime, while the other Bsts and Spiders zerg the NM before the Bugards come back.
NM is a bit stingy without TH, so bring a Thf. Drop rates have been about 30%ish for our LS.
