I camped the bird NM as soon as I got on tonight and was promptly slapped by a level 20ish monk, and checked by another /anon camper in the area. I ignored the rude monk and asked the other camper to kindly notify me of the ToD if he got it.
About an hour and a half later, I gave the ToD and position to both campers and walked away with my Pilgrim's Wand. As Tsakiki advised, I hung around the positions indicated on the ffxi-atlas map rather than the FFXIclopedia entry, and the NM spawned just south of the path in that area, a little ways up the Starfall Hillock grade.
While I was camping, I stumbled across a Mandy NM by the name of Tom Tit Tat, who dropped Fruit Punches. Unfortunately, I didn't take a close look at them and failed to notice that they were RA only, not RA/EX. So I threw them out... I was kicking myself later when I saw that they were in fact sellable and worth about 40k on the Jeuno AH (although sales are quite slow on them).
Ah well.
The rest of the evening was spent getting to Jeuno and chatting along the way. I bumped into Atreiyu in Windy Waters and caught up with CC goings-on, and explained to him why I hadn't been on the shell much. He understood and we agreed to keep in touch. I do look forward to his wedding with Gunda, which is slated to happen sometime next year. That'll be quite the momentous occasion.
I turned in early since real estate agents would be invading our home early the next day. On that side of things, we've finally purchased a bona fide house, which I'm very excited about, and we're on the verge of selling the condo (fingers crossed). Things are going to be... busy in the coming months.

I'm glad you got the wand! It sounds about the spot he was for us one of the times we killed him.
Too bad about the Fruit Punches though. I finally got my revenge on Tom Tit Tat last April, paid him back for my level 9 death oh so long ago. I got the fruit punches as well, but I seem to remember them coming back from the AH before they sold. They're a nice weapon for baby Monks, but it's the Tropical Punches they get turned into that drive the price.
Indeed, much grats in order. Sadly, I just crafted myself the bakhnaghs, because I obsess on those weapons. XD Never had the joy of the punches, but then, never bothered with MNK past 15 or PUP past 10, LOL.
Congratulations on the House! and the pilgrim wand... just in time for thanksgiving.. (lol.. sorry for the pun..)
Wish you the best of luck!
