NM Hunting Tips

[Rent-A-Hamster]

Anyone know of any good tips to get those NMs right when they pop? I heard there are some conditions that govern the spawning of these things. I'm not sure if I should be waiting at one specific spot, or wandering around a certain block or blocks on the map.

In particular, I've been trying to look for Leaping Lizzie, but to no avail. Suggestions?

Have a RNG sub...
NM hunting is much easier (though still patience-trying) if you know where your prey is once the pop...
Not saying you won't have any competition or anything...

Leaping Lizzie: I spent 6 hours with today, fought 2, no drop :mad:

Here's what I did:

-RNG sub (essential I think, seeing as theres a big rock in the middle of the pop points so u don't know where it will pop)
-Keep running around the rock killing all the lizards
-When it gets to around the pop time, don't go out of the way to kill lizards, instead concentrate on scanning the area

If you can, use a level 15 thief (or higher) as your main or sub so you can take advantage of its treasure hunter ability. It made a huge difference for me when I go Notorious Monster poaching.

*** most important, get ready to stick to one place for many hours.

stay alert because other people might steal your NM.

if you are certain there's rival, prepare something to steal the monster etc /war to taunt, or /blm /rdm for poison/dia. Being able to kill the NM at all is better than /thf and not being able to kill any

study their pop timing from websites

understand that the NM might not drop the items you want.

You can also try hunting when it's like the middle of the night in Japan or something.

2-3 hours before the maintenance is the best time for me to hunt NM^^
