Lesser Chigoes

[Nvr]

Please provide another means to obtain this item for Dipper Yuley. It is an item used in a very important jug pet synth, yet to obtain them, you must have a high lvl thf to steal them, or pay an very large amount of gil for them on the AH.

Please provide a decent way for BSTs to farm these on BST, and not have to lvl THF.

Or harvest them in Grauberg, seriously you can get 2 stacks in just over an hour.

Hmmm, would it be a pain if there was alot of competition?

Perhaps, but it's the cheapest way I know, and more reliable than getting a THF to steal 'em.

I just buy them off the AH when I see them. My trick is to use Synergy instead of cooking to synth them though. You get much better value out of your synths with the HQ's you can get, plus the NQ synth gives you 6 not 4 jugs.

I use synergy too, though I never seem to HQ. Ah, well!

I haven't had to compete with a single person since Aby came out for the chigoes. Only time I've seen ppl out there was for magian trials, but maybe that's just Shiva. GL

I don't harvest them(though I should), but I do have my own way of getting them. I just leave Nashmau for the nearby Karakuls as BST/THF.

1. Try to steal
2. If I steal a chigoe, I kill the Karakul.
3. If not, I charm the Karakul and take it into the tunnel to wait on Steal's cooldown.
4. When it's up, release the Karakul.
5. Immediately use Steal again before it depops, loop back to 2.

Unfortunately you can't just steal successfully/charm/release/depop the sheep, since the "item has been stolen" flag persists on those kinds of despawns. I suppose there isn't a huge reason to not kill them after a failed attempt, but I usually don't feel like bothering with it.

Yeah, I was doing the same before I found out that I could harvest them. Then I realized harvesting was like 20x faster, and never tried to steal again.

I never synergy, I HQ too much. lol
The big problem is supply.
