Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Aemora]

The Towers in Xarc ask for "Heavenly Goad" and "Celestial Goad" amongst them (obviously there are others but those are the ones I can remember) which are the pop items for the NMs of the Relic Weapon upgrade items. At the base of these towers are 2 Kindred and 2 groups of weapon-type mobs (so, for example, the olde RDM WAR BRD tower now has a WHM and BLM Kindred below it, a bunch of Club and Staff Weapon mobs, an Eye and on the Tower are 2 ??? for the Club and Staff Animated Weapons). I cannot confirm for myself about the BLM Kindred, but the WHM Kindred at this tower is the placeholder for Prince Seere, which is the WHM NM.

I'd safely assume that the other towers, which have clusters of Shields, Knuckles, Horns, Daggers, etc and the Kindred mobs that go with them follow the same pattern, and are the 'hubs' for those grouping of NMs. If you have POLUtils still, you can go through the .dat list of Dyna-Xarc and find the NM names directly below the Placeholder of that NM (so, the lists go Kindred White Mage > Prince Seere). Looking through this list, the mob clusters are:

Daggers, Knuckles, Monk, Thief
Hammers, Staves, White Mage, Black Mage
Longsword, Claymores, Red Mage, Paladin
Axe, Great Axe, Beastmaster, Warrior
Scythe, Spears, Dark Knight, Dragoon
Katana, Great Katana, Samurai, Ninja

Horns, Shields, Gun, Bow as well as Ranger, Summoner and Bard are then seperated from the Towers

With the new changes, does anyone else think that SE should really think hard about adding maps for these zones.

Mappy is your friend.

Mappy is your friend.

This so much. Not even ApRadar 2/3, just Mappy.

[Vandalhart]

If I played on a computer I would have no doubts to that fact. I just figured something in game would be more useful on the versions of the game with no access to those programs.

The "Sadist's Fortune Parchment" dropped on the level above the tower where Mildaunegeux used to be.

In Mildaunegeux's tower we found a ??? that wanted a "Villian's Fortune Parchment".

We only randomly found the ??? for the Sadist's Fortune because one of my dudes got lost and stumbled across it.


And yes, they really, really need to add maps because you can't count on everyone having Mappy, especially the horrible egirlfriend WHM who insists that any game "enhancements" or "adjustments" will get you banned.


Has anyone figured out Angra Mainyu yet? I have a bunch of people who need the win because they suck and I want to do Xarcabard.

Went to farm Sadist but got Villain from Hydra Paladin around BRD tower.
Also Odius Mirror and Blood from Hydra THF.

May be it is safe to say that Parchments are random dropped from mob in the zone?!

[Mindinho]

Has anyone tested if NM's drop more currency or a chance of 100's?

seriously?

[Atoreis]

Yes now look again for the part where I said 600 average.

I had only once claimed that I was averaging 600 coins per run you might have a legitimate post.

That group of 6 people could also have just split up (..) before for 1200-1800.

Either your math sux or you lie your choice.

We got a Sadist from a Hydra by the old dagger/horn tower. Was no ??? inside that tower, but was a ??? in gkt/bow+staff+shield towers. Also, no ??? by feiyin yet on odin

[Byrthnoth]

Either your math sux or you lie your choice.

400*3 = 1200
600*3 = 1800

You got confused because:
600*2 = 1200

He's not suggesting you go with 2 x3 or 3 x2, he's suggesting that you duo three zones.

You are right my fault. I'm sorry.

So I am calling bullshit on avg 500 with thf+blm anyway. I was doing PLD(ochain+almace) BLM THF WHM and once get more then 500.

[Sho]

OK, if we can get past Mojo's drop rates, as it has nothing to do with new information, thank you.

Post from some Bismarck chick on FFXIAH:

Okay. this is VERY important

Please listen;

We found a way to nearly always proc in dynamis. We don't know what the conditions are for this, however.

The following moves are 100% confirmed to proc red OR yellow. We saw no blue.

Zone: Dynamis-Bastok

Earth Shot - Red
Light Shot - Red
Stun - Yellow
Provoke - Yellow and Red
Shadow of Death - Yellow
Flash - Yellow
Holy - Red
Red Lotus Blade - Red
Numbing Shot - Red
Dispel - Red
Sanguine Blade - Red
Banish II - Red
Blind II - Red
Ground Strike - Red

------------------------

These moves do NOT need to be clean.
They were done during TP moves or 2hr animation.

We entered on Darksday, which would fit a light-fire-dark pattern.
But there were some odd-ball spells or abilities.

Also...

Provoke counted for 2 different procs on different NMs. Perhaps other conditions affect it.

Procing GREATLY increases currency yeild.

We recieved 2-3 bynes per mob we killed with a stagger, (and we could stagger almost everyone blindly)

and it helps NMs drop pop items.

[Atoreis]

I was yesterday in bastok on PLD/WAR and I used provoke many times and never did stagger.

Same for Flash.

[Byrthnoth]

What day did you enter on? Provoke is a fire based job ability, because WAR is a fire based job, which is why you should wear fire resist gear if you're going to ballista against a Warrior. God, Madawc still lives in a corner of my brain.

[Alarial]

I'm starting to think that these new staggers need to be done when the enemy is using a TP move or casting (the opposite of the abyssea ones), and that the stagger can be anything within the element range/weapon specified (i.e. if the weakness is sword, perhaps any sword WS works as long as it's during a TP move). I've seen numerous reports of proccing very weird WSs/JAs/spells, all during casting/TP moves.

It was 16 and a half hours ago if you have a way to check what day.

Depending on what you just said, you were inside during Watersday or Windsday.
