Archer Ring NM Question

[Yoss]

I'm having trouble getting my translator working on that NM webpage, so I thought I'd ask here. I can see that the NM is in the Ordelle Caves, but can't make out what level it is.

Judging from the rest of the stuff in Ordelle, I'm guessing there's no way I could solo it under under lvl40, and considering it's still over 200k at the AH, it's probably camped to all hell too. Anyone have experience camping it?

It'd be really nice to get aleast one of these, even if I have to farm gil for it, because it's pretty a much a straight trade cost wise for a sniper ring at lvl40...

4 more levels to my 1st lance...did I mention I love this class ^^

Thanks!

I soloed Stroper Chyme with 200 hp left at level 43 while I was camping keys/chests for RSE. Its a hard fight because its a Jelly type monster, meaning your damage is crap. I see it usually camped by level 45+ random jobs. The ring is really rare so I am told, and Stroper Chyme isn't a notorious monster per se, it just has a unique rare drop. There is almost always 1 person killing Chymes in Ordelle's on my server. I wouldn't try it til around level 45 since its a fairly risky fight because how long it takes to kill it.

DRG is a little harder to kill them as, but possible. Just will take you awhile, best suited class for jelly types, DRK, becuase of our DMG which is same as yours, and our BLM. I suppose you could sub BLM and drain and nuke as much as possible or WHM and keep healed, and i would say aroun LVL 37-38 you can solo them easily. But without THF sub GL with drops

Sorry to dig up this old topic, but I am interested in camping this guy but I can't freakin' find him. I've looked on allakhazam.com and they say he spawns on the stairs near the pond for Paladin quest but I can't find out how to got to the TOP of the stairs (it's a cliff, can't get there from the Paladin pond). Please, any help? >.<

[DarkHero]

when you drop down the hole that leads to the key dropping goblins, go up the long stairs to the goliath beetle room. From there make a right and on the loong winding stairway down, you'll find the chyme there.. Just be sure not to drop off the ledge as you'll be spending about 5min to get back.

*sigh* the stroper chyme eh? I used to camp him so bad, and i have gotten 2 archer rings, but now there are soo many people camping it, its not even worth it anymore on the Ifrit server , for the rest of u, goodluck^^

Not worth is anywhere. A ton of people there yesterday, some JPN that camps it every day. Atleast I can outpull him...sometimes.

[soki]

I had no problem beating the JPs - I guess the crappy JPs camped him.
My problem getting him to drop the freakin' Archer Ring. I quit after 0/60+ and so did my friend after 0/120+.
I think I'm cursed; I have never gotten a rare drop from a NM.

[Corin Gedaliah]

Anyone have any idea what the drop rate is? :/

I have no problem grabbing it when it spawns, I time it exactly... But the other day I killed it at least 25 times and not one Ring drop.

I know Hijikata does sometimes. He doesn't sub war so I always beat him unless he's close enough to the mob to jump at it, while I'm across the room. :sweat:

[Cordain]

Bah I need to /slap Hijikata for subbing sam when hes camping NM's =\

[Akanei]

I don't like hunting chyme, anyway. He can have it. :sweat:

[Rougtan]

Soki i hope you werent camping it as DRG/WAR, cuase your drop rate would be like .01%. its a rare drop as is if you are DRG/THF. Probally around 1%

[raidenn]

I have never tried this but.. Can someone try getting to Stroper chyme and while in the middle of combat, use a Lucky egg? WIll this make a difference?
