Nyzul Isle Disc Scenario

[Rho]

I'm part of a static that's been doing Nyzul Isle for some time now. My disc is marked for 96 with the runic key item. One of our other members just got his disc marked for 96 for the first time.

A strange thing happened last night and it has me a little concerned about doing weapon/head farming runs.

We used the other member's disc to go to 96. When we got to floor 99 and cleared it, I checked the Rune of Transfer to take us up to 100. When I checked the Rune though, it gave the typical warning you get that your disc will be cleared when you beat 100.

Confused by this and not wanting to risk clearing my disc, both myself and my friend (the person who selected 96 on the menu for this run) warped when Cerberus on 100 was almost done with.

So my question is, if you have your disc set at 96 but someone -else- uses their disc to go to 96, will your disc get cleared if you stay and beat the 100 boss regardless? Some confirmation on this one way or another would be great. Since my friend's disc is without the runic key item, I was hoping to get a couple of the "random" weapon drops since I warp out whenever we use my own.

Thanks in advance

Your disc is only reset if you used it to port to 96, not if the other person did. Our group did exactly what you intend to do. We had one person at 96 with the Runic Key whom we used to target-farm weapons for the rest of us, and we had a second person at 96 without it that we used to get the first one his weapon, as well as a couple weapons for others that the first person didn't have as a 50+ job.

Anyone who operates the rune on 99F gets that warning, even if they have no disc.

Me and the other 96F disc in my static have been trading hat runs for a while now, and there's no harm in staying as long as your disc wasn't used for the initial teleport.

Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated. I figured I might have been a bit overly paranoid about it but better safe than sorry. Thanks for clearing that up.

Could you please elaborate on "target farming" the weapons?

If someone who already has a Runic Key has their disc back to 96, the weapon that drops from the floor 100 boss will match the job they start the run on. They'll need to warp out before the boss is dead so as to not reset their disc (again), but this how people target the weapons they want to farm.

Didn't they fix it so that if you have a Runic Key already and complete floor 100, it's no longer reset a second time?

If your the runic disk holder and your present when the 100 floor kill. Your disc is wiped. However if you have the Runic key the weapon of the job your on will drop. Therefore have someone with lots of 75 (or support jobs high enough level to enter) have the Runic Key.

The 2nd person with the disc is to allow the first person to get drops on occasion.

That and, at 1900 tokens per floor 96 start, you'll run out of tokens pretty quick as you won't be around to collect them at the end of the run.

We have one disc at 96 with a runic key so we can farm weapons with someone who has 7 level 75 jobs and several more 50+. We have a second disc at 96 w/o a Runic Key to farm gear and random weapons, hoping for those we can't force a drop on. We'll be taking a third disc to 20 to farm boots shortly with one of the people who has over 100k tokens. That will let us farm 100, 100, 80 and 20 every night. We could farm 100x4 every night, but there's enough gear we still want at lower levels, and we want to make sure everyone has at least a chance to get gear every night.
