Well, when you are going to camp something like that, it would be good practice to check the main playonline site to make sure that there isn't something coming up. On the bright side, NM timers should reset after maintenance, so just log out where he pops.

Server prices vary, some are 800k.

THAT is the most you could do!? If you can KILL argus you can farm. Lesson learned from camping Okotes.

0/100+

That's 2 hours per CLAIM. Not counting hours spent not claiming (alot) and a VERY conservative 5k/hour farm rate that's 1 million gil, and Okotes only cost about 600k

Now a realistic estimate is is at LEAST 10k/hr, more if you know better things to farm.

Go farm Slime Oils in Korroloka Tunnel, in the last 72 hours you coulda made about a milion gil at the rate of 15k/hour with TH3.

May I point the ludicrasy of wanting Peacock Charm for your Rdm? No only is it completely a unnecessary in general, but the amount of effort you'll put in for something that will give you 0% benefit in performing your role as a rdm is ridiculous.

Holy Phial is like 2k and what you'll probably be wearing in any party.

Dude . . . get RDM to 75, then you can cap pretty much any weapon a RDM has native skill in with one hand tied behind your back.

(The glaring exception is non-DD RDM's most used weapon, the staff, which it has no native skill in, because SE hates hybrid mages.)

37 war doesn't count. In fact neither does 55 rdm for that matter.

There's just no real point in spending the time to camp Argus. He's driven countless people insane, and you don't need a PCA to level up anything. Nobody expects it, especially from a new player.

If you're that determined to get a Peacock Charm/Amulet, use your Beastman Seals and do BCNM40 Under Observation until you get it (RDM/WHM BLU/NIN BLU/NIN or RDM/WHM NIN/RDM NIN/RDM or RDM/WHM NIN/BLM NIN/BLM works well), it will save your sanity. You'll make a lot of gil from Utsusemi: Ni (and currently Phalanx) scrolls in the process of actually getting PCC to drop, too.

However, speaking as a RDM who insisted on meleeing at that level (and is generally just pro-RDM-melee), they're not going to want you to no matter how good your gear is. They will always yell at you for it. You can melee in Campaign (and you're the Ferrari of Campaign jobs at that) on RDM, though.

We're not trying to flame you. We're trying to offer you advice. I have a 75 RDM, and I love nothing more than to bust out a sword and Death Blossom stuff to death. But I got it to 75 by playing RDM the way other people expected me to play it. The time and money invested in a PCA or PCC would be much better spent on an Enfeebling Torque, an Aquilo's staff, and an Auster's staff. RDM's biggest strength is its enfeebling spells, not its melee ability.

Of course the only thing stopping you from both meleeing and pink maging at the same time is this idea of the "right way to play".

You don't need TH3 to farm though... it's still a viable option without it.

Argus is not an NM. Argus is a cruel joke.

If you really want to throw away weeks of your life and still not have a Peacock Amulet, then camp away. If you get lucky, great.*

It will be far easier (and less time consuming!) to just buy a Peacock Charm by farming practically anything than it will be to get one from Argus. You can also get one fairly easily from the BCNM, provided you have enough seals to spam it ~10 times (400 seals).

We're not saying this stuff to be mean. We're saying it because many of us have been there, and Argus just isn't worth it.

*Note: You will never get that lucky in FFXI
