Camping Rose Garden with Starfyre and Jaiko for roughly 2 hours, as we already knew the ToD. About 2 hours in, a WHM named Youiti showed up. Alright, CC is ok...I've already been here 3 other times with no CC. All of a sudden, about 30 minutes later, (s)he goes and claims the Overgrown Rose and kills it, and then immediately Tele-Alteps out. No response to anything.

The spawn conditions for RG include having the Overgrown Rose not killed or aggroed for 9-12 hours.

What randomly makes you want to claim the PH after already being there for half an hour? Obviously not out of ignorance of the specific spawn conditions, or (s)he would of already claimed it.

What a jerk. lol

End.
 
well, killing the PH would give you a near perfect estimate on when it may pop if it's not killed again.

still an asinine thing to do :/
 
Why camp Rose Garden anyway? You ruin the chances of us ever seeing Voluptuous Vilma ever again :(
Still quite the ass though.
 
eh no one cares about VV, rose would never live long enough, I have yet to see just rose for my gallery
 
I had some guy around level 25~30 run up and bloodport via the Overgrown Rose. The next pop about 11 hours later dropped me a ring, lol.
 
It's called creating a new ToD that you do know instead of guessing when the next one will be. Not that I approve, but it's not necessarily wrong either.
 
I camped this a lot a while back. Actually made a JP friend there named Aznable. I went like 0/3 or something like that. He was like 0/40. He said he lvled THF Sj just for that. He had such bad luck. Keep on trying, always people that will do that.
Good luck
 
killing the rose doesn't really help anybody because once they warp out you can kill it yourself a couple of hours later to skew tod. Most people who are serious about camping it, usually just afk there and keep an eye out.
There are ofcourse lucky punks like dowzer :(

Cause he had to leave and wanted to make sure you don't get the NM?

That NM needs to be changed, even if its not malicious, lack of knowledge of the NM could cause several players to innocently ruin several hours of work for someone else.

Not like people randomly walk by, see a malboro, and kill it :/
Anything you could get from rose garden you could probably get from any old malboro. Now if you got agro and had a friend come and help you kill it, that's different, but who runs through the jungles on foot when they're not camping overgrown rose?
 
who said they have to be on foot?? When you were first coming up through the ranks you never saw somthing with a funny name, dismounted and tried to kill it???

I probably DID post in hate, however, I dont know the <pos> of Rose Garden or any of the related NMs, But if its in an out of the way place, then I retract half my statement....


The first half stating that the NM needs to be changed still applies to diverting the actions of assholes.

No, I didn't. Usually when I'm on a chocobo I've got somewhere in mind I plan to go.

I had the same thing happen last week. Can't remember the name atm but visibly he was geared for THF or RNG ~25-30. He was /anon with no linkpearl. He ran around on a chocobo for a while, next thing I know he dismounts and runs straight for the Overgrown Rose and is blood ported before I could get an /emote off.

Congrats on the ring! 0/8 here.

Taisaijin too?

This could be said of the behavior of any "lottery spawn" NM. Example: Random asshole on some other server camps Centurio X-I just to get and drop the Shaman's Cloak so other's can't get it.
 
clarification: I know Rose Garden/Vilma and Taisaijin aren't lottery spawns.
 
Thanks, I tried getting it for a friend on the next few pops but it wouldn't drop again.

There are plenty of other NMs like this, one of which is much more problematic than this one; but drops a much more common item. The Overgrown Rose is right beside the path from Yuhtunga to Yhoator...It by no means merits someone to take a chocobo to bloodwarp there, which I still don't understand why people do that. However, those are the risks taken when camping this NM. Don't be surprised when this happens.

I disagree that it needs to be changed. As it was mentioned earlier, when an 'asshole' kills it and warps/afks at camp, that's just the how the cookie crumbles. Afk and wait for the next chance. I believe this is more of a positive aspect, people can virtually camp this NM whenever they want. Have to work the next day? No prob. Kill the OG before leaving in the morning and AFK all day.

If you have the time to sit there for the entire camp, great! That's what I did. I sat there and watched the OG. A few hours later to my amazement, it popped, I outclaimed the two people /following it and got the drop.

The more problematic NM I was mentioning is Colorful Leshy. I've killed it once about a year ago when the Leshys weren't being raped for their Mistletoe.




And hey, I could whine and bitch all I want about other aspects of this game too, but I don't. I work my way around them, often to my own advantage.

Like Jaiko killing Goblin Shepherds to pop Wyvernpoacher. Omg, that NM needs to be moved or changed! Or else I can't kill the two BST for high exp chains on my BLM. /sarcasm
So instead, I ran between all three camps, thus hitting all four Shepherd's Leeches for much faster exp.

I mean, shit. I've been soloing on BLM from 25~54 so far, which I plan taking to 75. I've hit a lot of bumps in the road so far, albeit assholes and people who just don't understand what I'm doing. Or just the assholes who try to steal my camp and race to claim the pet. Or just myself, when I accidentally nuke the BST itself. These things happen and are often unavoidable. Take it with stride and don't give up.
