Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Draylo]

Dynamis NMs as new? They are the same Nms I thought >.>

[Gwynplaine]

From what a few LS members have said AF to currency drop ratio is 7:1 about.

I wonder if anything in the zone will have a higher drop rate on 100 pieces or will this be the end of relics otherwise.

Currency drops in the KCNMs also though.

Yeah 2 byne for 30 KC gogo relic!

Found "Odious Blood" in Xarcabard; no idea what it's for yet.

That is for spawning some form of NM. Look around for ??? marks.

Well I imagine that. I meant I haven't found what yet; all of the Demon NMs want "goads."

Steelwall Bijou dropped off of Ze'Vho Fallsplitter.

first time fought dropped nothing.

Baron Avnas (Kindred/Demon NM) popped with Odious Blood at Boeurl Tiger's spawn.

DRK/THF combo and used Blood Weapon and Perfect Dodge multiple times (3+).

Attacks are insane, dealing 500-600+, and his defense below 75% is ridiculous; Masamune, Verethragna, and Almace hitting for low double-digits. A 2500 Victory Smite before the defense increase took off approximately 2-3% HP. Has enhanced movement speed.

Triggered grellow (that terrored) with Blade Bash, however we only got it to 10% with 5 (WHM/RDM/SAM/BLU/MNK) before a streak of bad luck wiped us; he either goes berserk when dropped below 25%, or the trigger caused it. Regens completely to full HP within 10-15 seconds, and depops at the 30-second mark.

Alright, after messing around in Bastok for a little bit, I noticed some generic patterns.

Adamantking Images are statue mobs that give 10 minute time extensions, although you can only get a time extension from the same one once. They don't have a lot of HP. I think a BLM could sneak around and one shot them for easy time extensions. There are ??? throughout the zone that you can pop NMs at with odius items. The odius items seem to group from the grouping of mobs around the ???. The popped NMs are no joke. A group of 6 people should be able to take them out although I recommend a bard or something for minuets as they have pretty absurd defense and whatnot. We were working on one for about 15 minutes with some weird ghetto set up and got it to 50% before wiping due to having some ghetto ass set up. The one we fought was near where the SMN NM used to be and could use Invincible + Eagle Eye Shot (which it did on multiple occasions.) It would throw rocks as well as melee and cast PLD spells, I believe it was a PLD + RNG job mob. Bu'Bho Truesteel. It hit an Aegis PLD who sorta came long for the ride for quite a bit, although I was able to tank it alright on NIN/WAR. I'm not sure what these drop, maybe items for popping the mega boss or something? Maybe someone who wins one can post what they get.

[Avarice]

Just triggered Grellow on a Kindred Thief (normal mob) with provoke.

Defense spiked suddenly, following the grellow trigger; only dropped a one-byne bill when killed.

Edit: Obtained an Odius Pen now from a Kindred Ranger, but time was low so didn't have a chance to check out what/where it spawns. It also seems that the daily counter resets at JP Midnight instead of 24 hours from when you enter.

[TummieGaruda]

Just finished Dyna Xarc with 3 friends. Got MNK, COR, WAR, and THF along with 2 coins.

[Kaisha]

Got 5 AF2 to drop within 20min, and then we got a little overrun. Mob respawn times are a little too quick for my tastes. Seems like it was just the currency to get nerfed horrifically as we only got two bynes in Bastok.

I'm not sure what these drop, maybe items for popping the mega boss or something?

In Bastok I got the pop for the mega-boss (steelwall bijou I think?) off a smn nm that popped by the chocobo stable (that pull with the beastmasters doesn't pop their anymore). It might be timed; I had it pop in my face once, and then I saw it up while running by another time. I went 2/2 on the drop. The ??? to pop the boss is by the zone to gustaberg (where it popped before), and is unchanged in difficulty.

[Diomer]

Are the TE KI in perm or temp?

[Karbuncle]

Are the TE KI in perm or temp?

Not sure, Think they were Temporary,

Edit: Just checked my KI's, they aren't there. So temporary, Probably just to "mark" you got them.

thoughts....

1) Currency is going to be expensive as shit until they fix this (as It will probably be bitched about considerably on the official forums). If they dont' fix it, well.... fuck there goes my spharai
2) 18 man alliance is probably gonna be your best bet to farm currency/attestations/etc. Atleast until the level cap raises again. I was evading decently on my THF with full haste gear (my TP set would be good about a year ago, but anyway) capped evasion.
3) Dyna strategies are going to be completely revamped to accomplish the most farming/time/kills etc. Think Salvage when folks knew shit all about how to farm a run to the fullest.

thoughts?

Got an Animated Knuckles pop off the satellite knuckles. Pop spot was at the old bst/mnk/whm tower i believe. Upon spawning it gave a 15min fight notice. The Knuckles did not attempt to warp or anything. Something was kind of odd though when it used Final Heaven, it seemed to insta-kill anyone it successfully landed on. Final Heaven hit me for ~800ish and killed me despite having full hp at the time. It insta-killed the drk and nin in my party as well when they got hit by it. Fragment dropped when it died.

Two time extensions i remember was one in the corner behind where the Wall of Eyes use to be. The other was by the wall near H-8.
