Re: NM Hunting

I just spent the last week camping these two. Lizzy is simple to camp and get the boots. Drop rate isn't that great, but at least it repops fast. Lizzy has repopped for me in as quickly as 15 minutes. My Emperor camping was really a pain. Lots of Thiefs are camping it lately. I spent several days in the dunes intent on getting one of the new hairpins. I finally ended up getting it, but on previous days I'd camped up to 3-4 hours on average between emperor pops. On Sunday night, Emperor took 6 hours to repop, and I claimed him and he didn't drop anything. I got lucky and claimed the first pop I saw after work on Monday, and it dropped my hairpin.

Re: NM Hunting

A lot of the people who camp Lizzy can generally kill it very fast (2-3 hits). If you're not using wide scan, or not using it rapidly enough, you could easily miss the pop and kill. if you're camping yourself near that big rock in the center at the top of the hill, when you do a widescan, Lizzy always appears on the first page of your scan. As long as the Rock Lizards in that area are constantly being killed, Lizzy should pop in no longer than 2 hours (in my experience). On average, he pops about once per hour. I found myself missing several of its pops and failing to claim the ones I did see. It took me a little bit of time to learn his pattern before I was getting several claims a day. I also had to devote myself to getting both the boots and the hairpin. I literally stuck myself in those zones and camped every free moment I got and never warped or left the area. I only ever logged out in the area when it was time to get some sleep or go to work. I'd log back in and get right back to camping. I think I hadn't been to a town and went without signet for a week. It took a lot of patience.

I have some time between the time I get home from work and the time I eat dinner in which it's not convenient for me to go looking for a party (between 5pm and 6:30pm eastern time) because I have to leave or log out to go eat. I can help you during that time. Otherwise, if I've got my flag up and not finding a party afterward, I can come out and help you.
