Don't have too much experience, haven't gone after too many NMs...
Jolly Green, though, was neat. I wasn't even looking for him. Heck, hadn't even checked that he was there w/ somepage. Just noticed something unusual pop on Wide Scan while I was farming Goobues in Pashhow Marshlands. 1/1 on Shaman's Belt.
Otherwise, I've gone after Lizzy and the Emperor successfully. Still have yet to encounter Jack. 0/5 or so on Zi'Ghi Boneeater.
Since I have TH2 I've also helped friends on Cargo Crab Colin. Is it just me or is his spawn area immune to Scavenge?
I haven't camped an NM that didn't have something to do with a quest in forever. Although I suppose I will have to spend some time with Mysticmaker and a few others if I want to get some nice RDM gear.^^
Once upon a time I used to camp Golden Bat. He was rarely camped, and Night Capes still sold well then. Oh, and I spent a few months camping and claiming Panzer Percival with a friend of mine (we each took one of the spawns and did our best to outclaim the other campers). I never got a Neckchopper from him, the bastard.
I have been on that boat so many times and have not seen the orc, ever. Saw the sahagin once but didn't get claim. Its a pain to get there in SSG and I couldn't solo it.
I'm not big on camping NMs, but I've had my share of experiences..
Mysticmaker Profblix : 0/6 for myself, but when I help a friend he gets the earring FIRST DROP.
Centurio X-1 : I Killed him about 4 times.. never got Quake or Stonega 2, but I did get the other scrolls a lot and a Shaman's Cloak. GREAT piece for BLM before you get your AF set complete.
Serket : My LS decided one night to camp this guy - 20 of us stayed up all night trying to beat out the hardcore gilseller and HNM links for a chance at this drop.. didn't get it.
Behemoth : Again, my LS went to get this one and make a name for ourselves. A bunch of gilsellers botted the spawn before we even had a chance to react.
In the future I plan to go after Shen, the various Gods NMs, the O-Hat and Carby Mitts nasties, Mysticmaker again, and a whole lot more I can't think of at the moment.

Lately I've been farming in Zitah and killing KoH when he is up.
Currently 0/5. ><
75 Thf is LS w/ knife is 0/25 so I'm not expecting to get the gk anytime soon.
I like fighting event NMs often. Like Shadow Lord or even NMs in BC's that play different music for that "Special occasion." It's just enthralling to part-take in and what really makes this game so fun. Not all those constant HNMing or Dynamis-obsessive stuff.

My least favorite... Hoo Mjuu the Torrent. I'm now 0/24 on that bastid... I'm heading back again tonight. I swear, once I get the damn drop, I'll never camp him again.
I HATE HOO MJUU!
At least I'm making some money off of the Zealot's Mitts and Beehive Chips I'm obtaining.

i'm like 7/40+ on him lol, only camp while looking for party as thief or when i'm bored.
though i must say, the NIN tonberry in temple of uggalepih (sozu something).... i had alot of fun claiming him with dia from hundreds of campers and end up dieing from Mijin Gakure XD 900-1K DMG (bad ppl, they didn't bother to even cast raise).
once i got 600DMG (had stoneskin + phalanx up) but ya died too >.>
A long time ago, back when the cocoons actually were worth something, I camped Habetrot a lot. Between spawns, I'd try and pop the Hocho NM as well. It was something different to do and there was no competition either
I'm 1/2 on metorhands..though I'll never use that damn pick. Favorite nm..which ever one I'm going after today. I drive my ls nuts. Everyday they ask " so kith what are you up to today" my reply " Doing what I do everyday...hunting more worthless nm's"
For nm's I like to just kill for giggles...Mimas I don't know why but I love clubing him up side the head like a poor little fur seal.
