I want the Tortoise Shield

[Lambeaus]

I heard it is a ***** to get tho. Just how tough is Bo'Who Warmonger?

It says soloable at level 60. Is there a chance that myself and 3 other level 35 characters (MNK, THF, WHM) can take him out?

Or is this something that I have no chance at without taking the easy way out and bringing a high level with me....

Sounds like an item for someones alt

Ohhh.. that guy....

I believe he's on a 21-24 hour timer. As for 3 level 35's fighting it... possible. Just hope your tank is ready to have the snot beat out of him.

Re: I want the Tortoise Shield

supposedly 21 hour

I can't imagine sitting around all day waiting for him to pop up either. I wonder if he is a popular NM to camp among everyone?

On Ramuh, at least, nobody hunts him. The hard part is finding out the spawn time.

Just buy the item if it's reasonable. Or else just camp it for a long long time.

Re: I want the Tortoise Shield

it is Rare / Exclusive

I'm sure that if I could buy it, I wouldn't have enough.

Camp it. I heard it spawns near the entrance to Beaudeux. Not sure if its 100% drop though.

Item is Rare/ex

Spawn time 21 hours. I killed it 3 times as DRG65/RDM32. Not 100% drop.

3 level 35s won't be able to kill it. It's got superior defense. If you want to stand a chance, 3 level 55s I'd say, NIN tank preferably, with a RDM who can silence it. And probably a BLM. Bear in mind that it will cure itself otherwise. Even then it might be a long fight. This Quadav is a PLD type afterall.

Re: I want the Tortoise Shield

If you can, bring some high level help and save yourself the uncertainty. Weak NMs like this(relatively speaking) aren't worth risking your time and XP for.

Offtopic, yes, but ...

LadyKiKi, when will you release that guide? Cause I too want to take DRG to 75 through soloing. No, I mean I'm sincere about this. I bet it's faster than LFP anyhow...

Re: I want the Tortoise Shield

Aeni, I will release it when I finished with it. It's just that work and 1 exam retake I have to redo that's slowing me down on working on it. I ain't played much lately to study for it as I don't want to fail. But while you're waiting, why not take up RDM or WHM to 37?

Re: I want the Tortoise Shield

best chance to get the ToD is to time it after a server reset. The pop area is too large to reliably get a death message if you go afk. Like Kiki said, he is a 21 hour nm. He will pop at about 21:05 after his ToD.

Ah so it's 21 hours and 5 minutes after.... no wonder when I camped it I was getting worried, I thought I was 5 minutes too early. Same thing happened when I got the kill outside Davoi on one of the orcs, which too is a 21 hour NM. And I threw my ajari necklace away outside Castle Oztroja ...
