I'm not sure how many people know this, but I love to just run around for hours trying to get an NM to pop.  I'm serious, I find some sort of enjoyment out of it, maybe for the thrill of "Hey over there, is that what i think it is...[hits tab key], nope nevermind just a regular Rarab.

Well last night, I decided that I was going to take on Sharp-Eared Ropipi.  He has a 100% drop rate for and Entrancing Ribbon, which adds +2 to my CHR, which I need all the CHR I can get as a Beastmaster. 

At the time I was level 14, so I figured I could take him solo.  I took Spiny Spipi Solo at when i was level 10 so why couldn't I do this.

Boy, was I wrong.  Sharp-Eared Ropipi was one heck of a fight.  My friend Rionell had been helping me pop him for a while, but had since ran off to the north to get Spiny Spipi to pop.  I started the fight by sending a Carrion Crow after him.  That crow barley even scratched the rabbits ear before he was killed.  At this point I started to panic, didn't know what to do.  I immediatly charmed the nearest thing and sent it to attack the NM. 

I continued this cycle through about 4 different charms.  None where doing much to him, but then I remembered.  The Bees just to the north where pretty strong, plus Rionell is there as a beastmaster as well.  I ran North Charming things along the way to slow ol' Sharp-Eared down.  I got across the bridge and got a bee.  Rionell invited me for a pt and we duo this sucker.  It took about 10 minutes all together, and both of us using our 2hour abilities, but we brought him down

I got the Ribbon, Rionell passed it to me.  He needs the Ribbon as well for his Bard leveling, so if he's up to it, I'll help him get that tonight sometime.
