Re: Anyone got any tips on Stray Mary
If its just for cash then using the sheepskins from the place holders for sheep leather (1 dark crystal, 1 distiled water, 1 windurst tea leaf and 1 sheapskin) if its for the horn the only thing i can say is be patient

Re: Anyone got any tips on Stray Mary
I've tried camp this NM a couple times. I never seen it pop even once seriously. Probably just luck...

ranger can wide scan since level 1.

Re: Anyone got any tips on Stray Mary
I have an LS mate that hunts her on occasion while crafting leathergoods. If you craft the skins, it's not so bad, but it has a tendency to be a long camp. THF/RNG is excellent here. Mary's Horn isn't terribly common so expect to come back a few times. You can't really employ a chocobo since you have to kill the placeholders, but it really helps if you can one-shot the sheep. You can, however, use a chocobo to "cherry-pick" the spawn since there are usually quite a few people hunting sheep in Konschtat while waiting for a party in Valkurm (or hunting Stray Mary/Leather goods themselves). If you can, hunt the rams too and do Purple Belt if you're able to kill the NM--the rams spawn just a bit east of stray mary's zone.

Click "Show NM" on the right side of the screen to display the NM spawn areas.

Re: Anyone got any tips on Stray Mary
you go to the map menu, and there will be a wide scan there, normally it will be greyed out. It lists every NPC/monster around you. for a certain radius I can't tell for sure.

Re: Anyone got any tips on Stray Mary
I farm sheepskins in Konschtat here and there. Seen her pop twice, got the claim both times, only milk. I like going there to farm skins because of the off chance that she'll show up and drop it.

Re: Anyone got any tips on Stray Mary
You know, I had bad luck with this one too. I'd camp with my ranger with full widescan range and havent seen her pop once. Ive done this oh, for probably a total of 8-10 hours. lots of sheepskin and ramskins though -_-
