special rare katanas?

[gomenasai]

hello, i was just wondering where the rare/ex level 55 and up katanas come from? particularily the level 55 one, "Hotogitsu" (?) I imagine an NM of course, but where and how strong is it?

thanks ^^

I have been hunting this NM for the past few days. First you have to get the tonberry rattle, which spawns randomly in the first zone area of Temple of Ugl.Once you enter and go down the stairs there are too rooms to the left fork and 6 on the right, look for the ??? inside the room. Once you get the rattle, go to the roomwhere the manipulator is, and take a left there to get to a hallway and a door, in the room there is a tons of paintings and a ??? in the middle of the room on the table.


My advice to you is clear out the room of tonberry's, then spawn it. The NM's name is Beryl-footed Monberry, (he is around level 73).
Me, a Level74 SAM/NIN and a Level 74THF/NIN killed it, and no drop. The drop is very rare and a pain > <
The 2nd time it was just me and the SAM. We popped it and a Tonberry SMN linked. The tonberry element killed blinked, and Beryl-Foot
did Mijjin Gakure, I took 1k damage and died, leaving the SAM to the downfall. So in otherwords the drop rate sucks, the Tonberry Rattle has a horrid repop time, and the NM is fairly difficult. Good Luck ^^

Is it possible for a 75 WAR/NIN to solo this?

I'm starting up my NIN again once I get WAR to 75 and wouldn't mind getting my hands on it.

I believe the rattle is 2hr re-pop of the ???

I killed this 1 time and got it

I wish Thief Knife NM dropped like that...

I'm curious as to how rough the Sozu Sarberry is... Hocho is pretty rare on AH but I see alot of Ninjas with it.

From what I've heard Nightmare Vase is lvl 80+ trying to farm for a Shinogi but prices fluctuate insanely much on Ragnarok for it.
