But guys... It's not beating the NM's/HNM's thats troubling everyone, it's getting the claim, and being awake when the mob pops.

I'm on Lakshmi server, I have my Tongue, but have never been able to claim Fafnir/Nidhogg due to competition from a well known LS on the server that uses a claim bot in order to establish the claim on any NM. (This was proven as one of the LS members actually warped into the Behemoth pop zone and got claim, GM as normal, can never prove anything).

This LS camps Fafnir/Nidhogg everyday, they charge people gil to get a BB item, god knows what they do with the gil.

As for Adamantoise/Aspidochelon, I've been awake around it's pop times about 5 times in the past 3 months, purely due to server maintenence, and then as always, it dips into late PST time-zone, early JP time-zone, hows anyone around the GMT time zone ever meant to get that?
So yeah, i've completely given up trying to compete w/ cheats and people in the wrong timzone, I'm farming KS, and it's taking forever, but at least it's possible.
U dont own an alarm clock? lol. Just set the time for about 30 min before window opens, wake up, claim/track ToD when it dies, go back to sleep.

U have to be willing to do w/e it takes to get a BB. Took me about 3 months to get mine. camping nid/faff was out of the question for me. So what did i do? researched the KS99, built a full fire resist set for pld and took some friends to get the beard. Tounge, camped and did the KS99 for. Egg same as tounge.

BB is not for the faint of heart. even back before the level uncap, it took alot of effort to obtain if u werent in an HNM LS. Here's an option for the KS99, offer to pay ppl for their orb. 100k per orb, if egg drops on ur orb 500k. easy, simple. Or if you have ToD hire merc's. 100k if no drop, 500k if it dose.

There are ways around anything. U just have to be willing to do what it takes.
