Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Septimus]

OK, this is what I have surmised. Please, please, please correct me if I am wrong. Especially the Beaucedine and Xarcabard part because that shit is confusing and I cannot confirm anything myself.

Quadavs in Bastok and CoP zones drop Forgotten Journeys. (Legs)
Orcs in San d'Oria and CoP zones drop Forgotten Touches. (Hands)
By process of elimination, Yagudo in Windurst and CoP zones drop Forgotten Steps. (Feet)
Goblins in Jeuno and CoP zones drop Forgotten Touches, Journeys, and Steps.
Everything in Beaucedine and Xarcabard can drop Forgotten Hopes. (Body) (Do Thoughts also drop in Xarc or both zones also or are they Tav only? Do beastmen in Beauc drop Journey/Touch/Step with Hydras drop Hope and maybe Thought, or do they drop the zone item?)

Nightmare mobs in Valkrum drop Forgotten Touches.
Nightmare mobs in Qufim drop Forgotten Journeys.
Nightmare mobs in Buburimu drop Forgotten Steps.
All mobs in Tavnazia drop Hopes and Thoughts.

NMs can drop their respective Forgotten item.

Am I missing anything or have come to any incorrect conclusions?

[dasva]

After 2 runs in xarc I haven't gotten any thoughts but have gotten 2 hopes. Granted first run was farming blu spells but we had 3 blus... gunna be pissed if I have to go to tav to get thoughts considering I don't have acess

[Aja]

nvm.

[Septimus]

OK, I updated these to the best of the information given so far. Please feel free to post any corrections here, or correct the pages yourself.

Forgotten ThoughtForgotten Hope
Forgotten Touch
Forgotten Journey
Forgotten Step

[Byrthnoth]

I've been told it's:
Sandy : Touch
Bastok : Journey
Windy : Step
Jeuno : Touch, Journey, Step
Beaucedine : Thought
Xarcabard : Hope
Valkurm : Touch
Qufim : Journey
Buburimu : Step
Tavnazia : Thought, Journey, Hope

I was under the impression that drops were zone specific (i.e. the type of mob is irrelevant). In tavnazia for instance, all of the mobs drop body and head items (the items to upgrade body and head to +2), including all nightmare mobs, as well as the kindred upstairs.

Just did beaucedine and only got head pieces. We killed the DC hydra. In valkurm, both the DC yagudo and the DC nightmare mobs all dropped hand pieces. Tavnazia is the only zone that I know of that drops two different pieces (head and body). The rest of the zones only drop 1 specific piece. Edit* Jeuno may drop more than one, that would make sense. Tavnazia definitely only drops two though (head and body).

For clarification, when I say piece I'm talking about the +2 upgrade items, not relic items.

Additional info: the DC hydra are as shitty as I thought they would be, however the drop rate is pretty insane. We got 53 head pieces total.

Orcs in Bubu dropped Forgotten Steps for me today. Not Touches.

[Byrthnoth]

If we knock Journey out of Tav, then we have:
Step - 3 zones
Touch - 3 zones
Journey - 3 zones
Thought - 2 zones
Hope - 2 zones

That kinda makes sense to me. Step/Touch/Journey are the base zones and Hope/Thought are Outlands/Tav.

Question: Does repeatedly doing the same JA give the same opportunity to trigger weakness as spamming different JAs?

[Byrthnoth]

As far as I know, yes.

Also, weird thing in Dynamis - Qufim yesterday. I used a JA (Box Step) at 7:58 just before the time changed to JA proc. When it hit 8:00, the monster instantly procced even though I didn't use a JA then. So it looks like it isn't just magic that can do that.

I have seen this also 2 days ago while farming in Dynamis - Valkurm. I used Box Step and Violent Flourish on Hippogryph at around 7:55 and the mob was staggered instantly when the time hit 8:00. The stun from Violent Flourish wore before 8:00, so it was Box Step that staggered the mob.

[Slycer]

Makes sense -- on magic debuffs, for example, it's not the act of the magic landing, but the effect proc-ing that causes the stagger. So I guess the condition for the stagger is the effect from the spell or ability being active, not just the instant the effect is activated.

[Forte]

What is the point of locking away subjobs then?

[Yukari]

Chances of getting 100 pieces if you have extra people that have DNC geared.

Updated the pages to match this.

Forgotten Hope
Forgotten Touch

Per zone is much easier to represent than per monster.

[Byrthnoth]

I did Tav today and got about 10 Touches and Hopes each without a single journey, so I'm assuming they don't drop there.

[Prothescar]

Have done Tav 3 days in a row now, only Hopes and Thoughts.

Best way to gain exp in dynamis solo/lowman? I need to upgrade DRG hands and tried soloing Nightmare Stirges/Gayalas in Qufim but it was hard died to random links and DC mobs only gave 277 exp solo with Emp band which means I'd have to kill 60-70 of them which was kind of difficult due to Sonic Boom sometimes. If i go with my dynamis group (MNK THF DRG and WHM dual box) I only get about 70ish exp per kill off DC with 4 ppl in the party. Is there a better way to solo dynamis exp and finish augment in 1 run?

[Helel]

Level sync to something (95ish) that makes all the mobs at least even match so you can chain them. Outside of that, it's going to depend on what job you are trying to upgrade armor for. Can't really give any tips other than for BLU. Working on RNG next, which is probably going to suck balls.

Personally I just killed the EPs, they give less xp but you can kill quickly. I had to do Qufim for WHM legs and just killed tigers non-stop as they were the most squishy. With Novennial or Kupofried Ring can finish one in a 2-hour session.
