haven't you ever gone to oztroja and tried to camp this baby? maybe his bud Quu Domi? of course there's always a crack team of guys who only have to kill 1 mob every 5 game hours? i mean, SE fixed their pop radius, it could be any of those yags, right?
no. time and again math and science have only manage to prove one relationship to beyond all reasonable doubt. SE = stupid.

wanna know how they do it? here's the secret. yes, you're right, they're not playing by the rules. modified dat files i actually got to see a mt'd claim macro into /say "Provoking <t>"... "Provoking <t>"... "Provoking ****PLACEHOLDER 1****" two misses then he scrolled onto a mob labeled PLACEHOLDER 1. SE made the dat for the single placeholder different and actually identifiable. Tres stoopid.

What camping against people like McArgus(necrosis) and such gilsellers is the rules only work if everyone plays by them.

god this all pissed me off... *vents steam out of ears*
ok, done.
 
Well Mee Deggi is only hard to camp when you kill every yag in the place. I've always found it easier if you only kill the yags that pop right by the door that comes into the room from the entrance. The only down fall is that people wandering by have just as good a chance as seeing him as you do. My luck is shitty though, in the last day and a half I've claimed Mee Deegi twice and only got the Impact Knuckles, claimed Jaggety Jack twice and only got hare meat, and Leaping Lizzy five times and didn't get the boots. I really need to get TH2 cause seems the only mobs that like to drop for me are Stinging Sophie and the Geyser Lizard.

1 - There is only one PH for each of these mobs, so if you only kill the mobs in one small zone you probably won't even touch the PH 9/10 pops.

2 - Even if you do kill the PH, it won't guarantee that the NM will spawn where you killed the PH, or that the PH will spawn there again next time up.

There's a couple easy methods to determining which mob is the PH, all you have to do is keep a ToD on that mob, and know what his repop time is, then keep ToD on next pop, etc.

Your method is the blind squirrel method that bugs the crap out of people that actually take the time to understand how NM's work, at least it bugs them the 1/10 times you actually find a nut :P
 
hmmm after patch i had empress pin and bounding boots in under 2 hours. camping with no TH2 is a waste of time in my book.
 
does this mean you're gonna mrargus too? D:

Well it was an hour and 13 mins from one pop to the other. Plus i got both claims So call it what you want and I hope it bugs the hell out of you because it works great for me.

It doesn't bug me cause I don't camp NM's, too much of an annoyance to camp against a couple gilsellers that do it for a living, and a dozen blind squirrels. You got lucky and had it pop by you twice in a row, but how many times did he pop and you didn't even know about it after that? You can be alert watching for pop on only one of the 2 NM's for 4 hours straight, or you can keep ToD on one while doing something afk, coming back to check every 15 minutes, or even camp both NM's. Either way, if you know ToD you're more likely not to be afk when he pops, and you'll even have a chance at claiming him when he doesn't pop right by you.

Of course, every once in a while a blind squirrel finds a nut...
 
Ok so you don't camp NMs yet you have all this knowledge. It can never pop withough me knowing because the room is so small that if you miss it you're an idiot. It has nothing to do with luck. It's about knowing how a mob spawns. First ToD on Mee Deggi is only good for about 35 mins. It is a lottery spawn from the other yags in the room. It doesn't share a spawn with any other NMs and it deffinatly spawned after I got it my times that I didn't know about because I left to do other stuff. When I was there doing Rank 5 mission I saw him spawn twice in one hour. Of course there were about 10 people in there all killing the yags, and it has nothing to do with your nuts so leave them in your pants.
 
well i am on 52hrs of VE with shit drops check sig
 
lol ose poped on me just now i am good in lab of onzo every where else shit fr me :( still unclaimed
 
If you only hang by the door killing mobs there you can't even see half the room that he spawns in. If you only kill the mobs right around that door there's a pretty good chance that you only see the PH once an hour on average. If you're killing multiple yagudo you're killing mobs that aren't the PH.

I don't camp NM's, but I have in the past. This includes Mee Deggi, both back when he was a lotto of the two mobs up on the platform, and after they made him a lotto of a single new mob they placed roaming around the platform. This is where my knowledge comes from.
 
Um Mee Deggi isnt a lottery spawn of off every mob in the room.... There is only one placeholder, random yag #7. Now when I'm there and I have tod on the placeholder, then I'll kill every yag in the place just to get em out of my way.

Stouter is right, Shaunessy prolly got lucky, and yes the room is small, however when there is a bunch of people in the room, even if you see it, it is a pain to claim.
 
Here is your answer to the title: Don't camp Mee Deggi. Simple enough. End flame.

I'm glad someone has learned something from me on these forums.
 
After you know which the PH is once, you can just flee around at 5:00 after and look for a pop... really isn't rocket science.

Any yags can walk in the water, but the PH is the only one that sometimes pops in the water, also there are some other conditions that the PH only will meet.

Also, The only .DATs i've modified ever was for Stroper Chyme, haha... :o

Maybe there was some better botters there than me or something, wouldn't you think? I got beat at Mee twice. Nice flame though.
 
Step 1: Kill PH
step 2: Add 5:07 games hours to the ToD of place holder
Step3: After 5:07 games hours use flee watch a GS get Mee deggi and repeat step 1-3.

I couldn't agree any more with this statement... seing as how I'm 0/22 on Valkurm Emperor after that update, I give up till I have a TH2 or higher with me.
