I'm just curious to see what everyone's most memorable winning lot was at 75 cap. My most memorable winning lot for sure was my hachiryu haidate, nothing has ever came close in this game to reliving that moment for me besides my first byakko,s haidate.

W. Body was my white whale. Chased it for years!
Ever since I saw a JP rdm wearing it back in early 2004.

In ~2007ish Ls leader gave the go ahead to lot it which I won, jumped up and down and scared my girlfriend before realizing the LS leader (Diavolo... you Jerkass)decided to lot on it and win it.

In the end I never won fair and square. Bought it. Didn’t have the same feel. At all.

finally getting my Byakko's was pretty monumental back in the day. a lot of "big" drops back then came with such an adrenaline rush that few things have been able to replicate.

the only thing to come close since was winning Tartarus Platemail the only time we ever actually saw it drop off Plouton. within a week they introduced the chance of getting it from KI trading, but it was a pretty heated duel of lots between a ~dozen people.

Shining Cloth for my Noble's tunic. (around early 2005) pre COP

Was in a sky linkshell that did sky runs every sunday, but it was shaky with our main tank leaving for another better known LS.

Leader felt sorry for me who had been main healing for months for no drops really so one sunday he asked some other LS to help us kill a Kirin, as we had the pops for a while and the extra bodies helped us brute force it.

I think the other motive was to get an Osode for one of the LS members as well, but I felt special that day.

W. Cuisses as well. Was next to receive (most points), but the LS leader decided to lot with me. I won, and bought the HQ just to rub it in. I think he ended up kicking me from LS that same day too lol.

Probably my Hecatomb Harness. Someone once told us that our linkshell would never be able to kill Kirin. Well, no matter how ugly it was, we succeeded and overcame that negativity. On our first win, my gang told me I should lot the N.Body that dropped. I said we should just free-lot it but they insisted I take it. It was a good feeling to do events with people like that, and it still is.

Nothing, when I dont see immediate use for it I'll just pass for others (we always run with the linkshell) and when something does drop that I really want I always roll epic low.
Luckily we have some kind of lot track system in place or I'd still be running around in sparks gear.

Oh but there was that one time in old dynamis that finally after like 50 runs hastewhoring on rdm that my sweet rdm hat dropped....
only to get ninjalotted from beneath my nose by the ls troll who got removed from the shell afterwards.

For myself, that would be Novio Earring, from our first JoL back then, server first too (unicorn), and one of the rare occasions that I rolled 100+ on anything of significance. It was also the only novio drop on the server for at least 3 months, so it was quite special too.

The funniest thing ever tho was when I won a ridill lot on a friends' account who couldn´t attend DA that day. I hid it in his storage between stacks of crap. Took him 2 days to find it :D

Imagine his misty, watery 4x4 room with only small door. I spend straight 4 months (4-6 hours a day), made around 60 mil. just selling drops from the area, have friends come and go, just to keep my sanity. I killed it whole 75 times just to get slap in the face with a note "Please, come again!!!". Another slap in a face was, when good friend of mine went 1/1. I was still going...

On 76th kill here it was - THIEF's KNIFE. Same day we did Dynamis- Xarcabard and i got TH hands.

From TH2 to TH4 in one day,no other drops came close to this excitement.

Duplus grip back when it was epic and rare.

We did a team up run with another shell. (we took turns on drops) It dropped and I lotted a 996.





Edit: Duplus is lvl99 but still was epic as ***at the time.

Soboro Sukehiro. This was a popped NM though, so you could farm it to your heart's content.

First memorable drop had to have been Osode. Following around that Manticore for hours in a chi blast rotation was pretty cool for the time. LSs back then were all points based, and after the leader stole all the good drops and linkshell bank, we bottomfeeders finally got ours.

The MOST memorable drop I ever got? Think it was the Haidate that dropped from the Khimaira in Caedarva Mire on Hediva Island. I won it over an "elite" player. After winning, he proceeded to roast me about how only the gimpest players who deal the least damage get the best drops. It was a shout group.

I once snaked an Optical Hat from someone else's pop (and I didn't have one) in a pick-up group by faking AFK for a doorbell. I timed the 5 minutes perfectly to where I came back seconds before it was supposed to drop to someone else, lotted, won, and said I accidentally lotted and meant to pass.
