Neo-Dynamis Changes

[nyphani]

No. They are both sound and sight, not truesound.

awwww, if i had known that, i could have explored soo much easier D: are statues true sound/sight or just normal as well?

[Alkimi]

Well, the new dynamis NMs are fun!

Dunno what other zones are like but I'd say 8 people to kill the NMs comfortably (including 2 stunners for Bomb Toss) and then a few people for adds since there isn't room to swing a cat in Jeuno without getting aggro.

Seems like all the new NMs have 2 jobs. 1 they can use it's 2hr as many times as they like, the other just used once.

This one for example uses chainspell multiple times and Mijin once, another one we fought uses PD multiple times and Benediction once.

Triggered red with provoke, but tbh we were just trying to kill it.

Edit: Use 2 hours whenever you have them tbh, they use Goblin Dice a lot. Had 2hrs restored maybe 5 or 6 times over the course of 2 fights. Goblin dice can also restore all their HP if you're unlucky.

Just curious, does anyone have a list of job abilities that function "onto" NPC's: I.E, Provoke, Spirit Jump, Charm, etc.? Wondering how low a party you could form to go farming and cover all procs/WS's/Magic etc...

Only 2 jobs without JA or unique mob target spells above 45 are bst and cor - you should be able to hit everything else with 18 people on different jobs and have 1 /bst, 1 /cor. Naturally you lose nyzul WS, but can hit every other ws 0-300 including emp, every spell, every mob-target ability.

i wandered around with s/i on constantly after finding hydras aggro sight and never got aggro from anything in xarc or beau, i never attempted to walk past NMs tho

If only you knew.

[Leey]

Do you have the days of the week when you did those? Or at least your timezone?

im GMT, and this was on lightdays if i remember rightly.

Some more information -

There are no lottery pops. People should stop saying this. All of the NMs that aren't forced popped are simply just time pops. Maybe 15 minute repop? I don't know I didn't time it. They're the ones that drop the zone boss pop items and also 100 pieces. I went 1/10 for 100s today with TH4+.

Red staggers gaurantee 2 coin drops from normal mobs. I observed this three times with Blade: Hi. We did proc an NM with a blue stagger (which was Shark Bite.) It dropped the boss pop item and one coin, no hundred piece.

TE statues on are 1 minute repops, normal mobs 5 minute repops (but this has been said already.) I'm curious to know if the other normal statues in the zone still drop hundred pieces. I have yet to see one, but I haven't killed too many.

[Rocl]

Maybe 15 minute repop?

Curious-- which zone did you observe this? We killed King Zagan and stuck around for a bit (killing Scythes & random mobs for stuff in between) but after over 20-30 minutes, he never repopped. Granted someone on the other side of us could have grabbed him and ran him away but I'm wondering if we were just terribly unlucky in terms of NMs or it varies by zone.

[Scythiroth]

Oh, a friend of mine was curious, has anyone seen 100 pieces dropping from normal enemies since this change? Or are they just from NMs now?

Dynamis Bastok and Dynamis San d'Oria. Cruising through the DATs for Bastok just now shows me that I did actually fight all of the non force pop NMs. I haven't done beau/xarc yet since I'm still getting clears for my brothers' character, but I am at this point completely certain that there are no lottery NMs in Bastok and 99% certain that there are none in other town zones.

I think the best thing if you want to farm AF is to go with a merit party setup, 4 DDs BRD WHM or RDM and a THF or two on the outside PT, we got a ton of AF and maybe 40-50 currency drops in a 40 minute small farm after spending 45 minutes fucking around with a NM that we couldn't push down below 12% cause it would spam blood weapon -_- and crit for 500-900...

got 1 assassin's armlets tho :D

Need more Ochain

[Mojo]

Honestly PLD is gimp as fuck for those NMs even with Ochain. Can solo tank them on NIN with just Haste and put better damage on them. Also, speaking of which, I think the most feasible way to do any of the popped NMs in the town area is to have a sack puller pull everything away from the ??? and then drag the NM to where the boss is popped (or some other aggro free area.) Beats having to kill repops.

[Hwang]

Just got done with Xarcabard, found 2 TE statues, that's all we really found on the walk round, we stopped on the hill just before you reach the dragons for Dynamis lord, Marquis Nebiros popped after killing a few mobs, dropped the pop item for Dynamis Lord, all in all was SO much better than normal dynamis, mobs walk freely round, Statues don't link with normal mobs, eyes don't link with normal mobs. Fun times.

Also with 8 people, we got around 10-11 relics, which was fun.

[Atoreis]

Idk what is your definition of gimp but they had a problem with NM healing by blood weapon so Ochain would definitely help. If mob has good accuracy and NIN needs to recast shadows back to back it's damage is very close to ochain PLD. CDC has also advantage of DEX being both dDEX and WSC mod.

[Eurell]

Might have missed it but, does the Bastok Boss still pop with the 4 shield mobs? Or just by itself now?

[Terrestrialrage]

Killed him twice last night as a trio Sam Thf Whm. Still casts Death but does not spawn with anything else.

I walked by a few NMs with snk/vis in bastok, they didnt aggro, woo

Statues don't link with normal mobs, eyes don't link with normal mobs. Fun times.

o.o! That's awesome!
