Can anyone share their drop rates on this NM? I just killed him again and am now 0/40.
I quit counting about 4 months ago; I was 0/42 then. I camp it two to three times a week at least. Sometimes it don't spawn all night, sometimes it spawns NM > Placeholder > NM. What is it with Final Fantasy games a knife that always takes forever to get? One thing I do know ... the little bastard loves to hand over Tonko: Ni scrolls more than anything else ._. Hopefully, I'll be a 100+6 cook soon, good luck to you too --Bekisa 09:41, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
0/27 on the Hocho, I think the pop rate is completely random I've killed 40 PH with no pop and other times it'll pop twice in about 45 minutes. Can anyone verify that Fuma Shuriken drop? I've never seen one.--Evilpaul 01:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
1/1 with BLM/WHM fought it after server maintenence [1] NM popped within 30 mins of PHs death good luck to everyone trying to get it.--Ksusno 06:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm 0/50ish on this one as well. I've never seen him spawn earlier than 60 minutes, and I logged here at a maintenance once and killed the PH for 8 hours with no spawn. To the above poster, I have seen a couple Fuma Shurikans drop over all those kills. Raineer 04:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Back in the day I may have gone as high as 0/50, I left the game for a year and then came back and went 3/4 on drops... easiest 6,000,000 I've made since the inflation, can't tell if they changed him or it's my luck that changed. I've never used TH on him but TH4 would definitely more than double the drop rate.
0/4 and counting as THF/NIN (TH3). Last fight he did Mijin Gakure for 1700+ damage. Bring Reraise if you're camping solo.
0/2 now with Hocho as of now, with MNK/DNC, I thought i was going to lose, his mijin gakure did 745, its doable but i'm bringing some extra potions next time and saving up more tp, I had only 125 and i used it up very fast. I think he might have either stolen tp or destroyed it because it would seem like my tp would disappear real fast. Maybe i'll bring a wing just in case...(Edit) Ok apparently I was ignorant of their light of penance move

- Duo'd by a 75RDM/NIN and a 75THF/NIN. THF died on Mijin, but wasn't hard to take out after.
- Solo'd it DRK/SAM very easy fight
- Solo'd it with 75MNK/37DNC very hard fight, almost lost, I had 80 hp left at the end, I recommend bringing some extra potions.
- Solo'd it as both NIN/DNC and NIN/THF both work fine depending what his mijin does, I've had it do as low as 400dmg up to 1986dmg.
- Solo'd as RDM/WHM SS/Barfira/Aquaveil/Phalanx + Genbu's shield/Jelly ring, took 1 convert/He himself never took me below 70% HP
- Easily solo'd by DRG75/WHM37, just be careful of mijin - pull him out into the corridor so if he does big dmg you can RR and finish him off.
- Solo'd as DRG75/WHM37 with mp gear, angon, Saurian Helm and no food. I would call it 'moderately easy'. Began and ended as an usual drg/mage solo, apart from the moment when it has used Mijin - it took my hp down to about 100 and killed wyvern. I have managed to Call Wyvern and trigger two more Healing Breaths to survive, and finish the fight. Drop: Tonberry Coat, Scroll of Kurayami: Ni, 3000gil and 72xp. --Awangarda 15:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
