He spawns among 15 other leeches, none of them being a placeholder. I was farming the leeches in that room for a Carbuncle's Ruby for a friend using Ramuh. 2 Thundersparks from a 75 Ramuh will take them all out, and more often than not the game will glitch because there's so many and they'll just fall over and die without Ramuh ever having an attack animation. It's pretty funny. Also, unless you SMN-pull him, it's very likely you'll get a large majority of the leeches in the room to link, as they're spread evenly across the room and *just* the right distance to create a humongous chain more often than not.
This item is used in +HP builds for end-game tanking.
The mobs you will face have the ability to smack you for 1500+ HP in one shot. On situations like this, it is common to stack a few pieces of +HP gear to give yourself a buffer, so that your mages can Cure you back up before you die.
That is really the common use for +HP gear. You could stack a lot for Spirits Within but this is not a common practice.
If are looking to buy this on Ifrit, give me a /tell. My screen name is Crashenx and I will consider any reasonable offer. Also if you have haub +1 or pallas bracelots and are looking to get this earring, I will give you the earring and pay the difference. Thanks :)
As far as it spawning in a room with 40 leeches, have a smn pull with carby. EASY way to single it out from the others. If not, then just kill them. If you are at lvl 50+ it should be no problem at all...
OK, while it is true, that a mob can hit you for more than 25 HPs, and always will. But, how many times have you been hit and killed, and the damage was under 25 HPs more than your life? Say, you died, and if you had 5 more HPs, you could have lived and zoned. It does not have to be done all in one hit to be of benefit.
Not to mention the fact that this stacks with other + HPs gear. For a caster, +5 MPs does not really give you anything, but can stack up to +40 or +50 MPs total, which can save someone's life.
apperantly you havent been looking around much for earrings for pld's there aren't very many and +25 hp is one of the highest amounts for hp on an earring the only other one is a pigion +1 or cassie and cassie takes away from a plds mp so which would you use one thats straight 25 hp bonus with no loss or one that would take away from you being able to heal yourself during a fight?
I was helping a LS mate with his RSE. While he was in jueno getting another piece I was walking around looking for the next chest. I come across the leach room and I notice the Leech King sitting in there. I dont bother to check his level because I have drain bolts and can pretty much keep myself long enough to flee out of there. I had tried to pull one leach at a time but on my first pull I got about 10 leeches and the Leech King at the same time! I was nervous for a few seconds but then realized I was draining more than all of them were hitting me for. I quit draining and just started whacking away at them until they died. The fight was so easy and I didnt really see any value in the earring that I almost dropped it on the ground thinking there were hundreds of them on the AH. It wasnt until 3 days later that I decided to check the AH price and I actually **** my pants...after cleaning up I put it on for 650k because the sales history was so slow (10 in 5 RL months) and there were already 4 on the AH. Sales history was 1.3mil down to 800k. And to cap it all off, there was a chest behind him. My earring just sold for 700k
I will buy this earring as soon as I reach the appropriate level. As a Tarutaru PLD I need all the HP I get, but I still don't want to sacrifice any MP.
ok jus a note but leech king spawns in a room with 40 leeches if u manage to find him in the leech pile u will be jumped by at least 40 poison leeches which means u will most likely die so be very careful before u get him make sure u have a raiser there for u... otherwise good luck...................
I don't really see how useful this item is unless you are a tank of some sort. Maybe a DRK could use it if they a notorious for drawing hate. I know DRG doesn't need this item because you don't get hit much by level 35. Besides I get hit for 60-80 a whack at that level, so +25 hp is not going to help me.
Seperate note: Price is so high because the Leech King spawns every 12-36 hours. He's on the same timer as Argus so if one spawns, the other doesn't.
retchid of queztacoatl 32 dragoon i need thsi very badly how much does it sell for i have 53k but it always says non aplicable or somethin help me how please
