Hoo's in Giddeus?

I logged on knowing I needed to pt as WHM, but not really in the mood for it. Seeing how not many people my range were even on, I decided to just farm away on my nin/thf mule. As it so happens, an ls mate, Miur, was just heading out to Giddeus needing yagudo beads for Norg fame. This was the perfect oppurtunity to do something boring, but with someone you know, which always makes it a little better.

I have not been on melee for quite some time, so to just tear things up as nin/thf was exciting to me. Few people were in the zone, so I decided I wanted to try and camp Hoo Mjuu while using my TH powers to get Miur his beads. I managed to get the claim, and wonder upon wonders, I actually got the drop!



Unfortunately, I was also full on items most the time I was in there. I had been throwing away so much worthless trash, it became second nature for me to hit discard. I went to lot on the signa (Miur graciously passed), and hit "Pass" by mistake. I fealt like such a damn n00b. Watching that coveted cash cow drop off into oblivion was a sad moment indeed.

Refusing to let one bad experience put a damper on the night, and because I still needed more beads, I came back and began another round of camping. Once again, I got the claim, but this time only the Zeolot's Mitts dropped. Can't win them all, now can we?



Still optimistic and believing Treasure Hunter will come through for us in the end, we began another round of camping. We had some competition, but once again, we managed to claim the NM. And once again, we were rewarded with Zeolot's Mitts.



At this point I was starting to get tired. Running around a small area trying to grab mobs as fast as you can before someone else hops to it can be frustrating, even with the successes we had been having on claims. This time, Hoo was taking forever to pop. Our spawn times went from an hour and fifteen minutes to two and a half hours. By this point, we were the only ones even trying for this bastard, so of course we got it and killed him. No Zeolot's Mitts this time. Oh no. This time we got S-E's way of saying "F*** you!" to the player base. I would have actually been happier had nothing dropped, rather than the dreaded loldeodorize scroll.
