    Sniper Collar, where? o.o

    http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/8941

    I'm trying to find any info on how to obtain this? Considering it's rare/ex, I'm a broke ass(mainly from Giltoss AKA bullet spamming) COR can't wear Jagd, and Argus is a pain. I think this neck would be nice to get.

    Actually RNGs are back to using multi-hit weapons like K. Club or Ridill for TP gain since the last patch, so that's not really the case.

    Not so much that, the most recent patch let us mellee and only lose maybe 10 damage per shot. So A) Gain 60 damage a swing with axes or B) Gain 10 damage standing away?
    Edit: Kclub ftl

    With regard to the Qiqirn Collar:

    I camped it a lot... I went like 1/6 or 1/7 or something on actually getting teh collar. :/ And it sucks. The area I marked in red was where there are two RNG qiqirns (Archaeologists I believe) and one THF qiqirn (mosstrooper?). Those two RNGs seemed to me to be the PHs, and if I killed them long enough, he'd pop in place of one of them. The area marked in blue is the area where he seemed to reset to, though, on the one or two kills where I wiped to him and had to call in backup.

    I thought his spawn time was 1-3 hours when I first started camping it. I popped him, killed him, got nothing.. Went back again, popped, killed, and then like 1.5 hours later went back and he popped again, so I assumed 1-3. But I had one day where I went something like 10 hours and I didn't see him, so I said screw it and left. I had helped kill him in the morning with someone else that had claim and couldn't pop him again all day. :/ Came back the next day and was able to pop him easily. So I don't know what more there is to it.. Just have to keep at it.

    I know a few that use Joyeuse, stacking acc to gain tp before switching gear for their WS.

    Yep I don't see why you wouldn't use Joyouse, lots of TP gain. But sorry I did miss cor at the begining.

    so to get this back on track, anyone know any info on sniper collar? we can debate its usefullness against other rng or cor neck pieces after we find out where to get it

    i have not heard anything about it comming from the ashu talif assault, maybe it is appraised from one of the new higher assaults. or drops from one of the new besieged NMs

    The Qiqirn neck is also like 1 mil on Diabolos, as well only 6-7 sales total. I might as well buy specticles in that case, but anyway, thank you Zoobernut. Back on topic, {yes please}. No one has heard of or seen this Sniper Collar around? ; ;

    Give this guy a try maybe.

    No clue if he drops it or not, but he's one of those beseiged nm's who dropped nothing before the last update, maybe he drops something (like this item) now?

    Best I could think of. He's usually up when I'm mining in halvung and just thought of him when I saw this thread.

    I've camped Bluestreak more than anyone else I know. Seems to be pure lottery. Shortest repop 1 hour, longest 11 hours, yes 11 DAMN hours. I've only had 1 kill where nothing dropped. 3 Kills with both. 4 Just guns, and 2 Just Collar. (Yes 10 kills). When it 1st came out my rdm buddy and I (I'm a RNG btw) would camp it alone day after day. After people started seeing 1.8M 2M 1.5M sales in AH its became a popular NM. Since then its camped by alot of people and prices are hivering around 700k. My 1st kill was with a THF. Yes THF and RNG duo, we won by shere dumb luck since we had no idea how to fight it. Second time with THF we completely destroyed Bluestreak since we knew what to do.

    This NM is a JOKE. Yeah He's lvl 82 but its a RNG. (haha) He will always ranged attack the person who has hate. AND he will always move into a sweetspot to attack. Best results are obow+holy holts just because you HAVE to utsusemi at every recast time. Its a 5-10 min fight depending on links, but if u can pull him to the slime pond and just spam ratts it will fall with ease. Cleanest fight was finished in about 5 mins and he hit me 4-5 times. With minimal haste gear and haste spell utsusemi wont be a problem, just need to prioritize utsu > ratts. And of course EES for the kill. Yeah theres no proven EES TH but hell I've gotten so many drops from all across the game to stop now.

    I've killed him 3 times total now, which isn't too conclusive by any means, but he dropped nothing twice and a Mercenary's Mantle the other time. Don't think it drops from him as most of the besieged NMs have drops with some sort of besieged: effect on them (maybe all? anyone got something without a besieged effect dropping off those?). As to other ideas where it could come from I have no idea.
