I wandered around Valkurm Dunes for three hours last night trying to get one of these and had a high level character even take me to Gusgen Mines where I was for an hour and not even a hint of Magicked Skull!! I'm going crazy because I want to get my Subjob and enjoy the game more...
Does anyone have any tips on picking this thing up?
The only thing I can recommend is to keep wandering around Gusgen Mines with a High Level character until it drops
Or if you have a Lvl. 15 Thief, the skull will drop even faster with Treasure Hunter
It didn't take all that long for it to drop for me. I think it drops more often in the dunes, but then you have to wait for nightfall.
if your gonna hunt this skull down deff try to get the person helping you to sub thf or at least be a thf. The past couple of times I helped somebody I went as Mnk/Thf it droped on the 3rd to 4th kill.
Sometimes people in those mines farm bone chips. You might be able to get them to join you. You get the skull and they get the chips. Win-win. :D
Bring someone with a /thf or who is a thf.
might be easier :)
apparently they have a higher drop rate in Valkurm... but the spawn there for them sucks.
Yeah mines are better over dunes. At least in the mines they spawn all day.
I had Miriel help me in the mines. Took less than an hour.
Hahaha. And I totally teleported out of the mines, without realizing that you didn't have the teleport crystal. Oh man. :pQuote:

Nearly everyone just gets a higher level to help them, and there's just not enough willing to actually get into a party at low levels and hunt for the items.
From what I've seen the other two subjob items are usually aquired through partying. It's just that damned magicked skull.
That's because bones aren't really exp party material in the dunes, hello AoE drain. And you could always try the Mhaura subjob quest ;p.
The Mhuara quest is even harder because of that Bloody RobeQuote:

More people would probably have done it if people actually EXPed in Buburimu. It's not much of a hassle getting from Selbina to Mhaura anyway, and the best camps are guaranteed to be free :p.Quote:

So now I'm happily wandering Vana D'iel with a subjob at last.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Exact same crap happened to me. Congratulations.Quote:
