Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Alkimi]

Tomes are 100% drop, guessing two of you already had one somewhere.

[dasva]

Boss pops aren't tomes though. And no the boss pops aren't 100%

So where's the best place now to solo as NIN, BST, or DNC if looking for currency or Forgottens (No 2box and doesn't matter which Forgotten)? Been reading last few pages and seems random, groups mass killing DC, etc. So not to sure on solo. Normally use to do Xar. solo but haven't played since this update on dynamis and Xar only place I knew how to do TE without hassel.

NynJa asked me to post this here for him:

Killed ~89 kindreds, all dc, 22 forgotten items dropped, no double drop, roughly 25%, which is way off from the 40% I got in sandy (27 singles, 6 doubles off 82 mobs).

Small sample size etc etc, or just bad luck there, or just good luck in sandy...


I would, and I'm sure others would also, like to find out if others have had a similar drop rate in Northlands with forgottens.

[Helel]

Bad luck. Always gotten tons of double drops in xarc, even with just /thf + sash (when we were upgrading horn). I haven't noticed any difference in drop rate in comparison to the other city zones. In fact, beaucedine has had the best drop rate I've seen out of all the zones. We got 53 there with two of us killing the DC hydra.

Whatever city/northland zone drops the forgotten item you need. BST shouldn't have much trouble soloing DC mobs, but I don't really know for sure since I don't use the job. I know BLU/THF works fine (if you don't care about currency).

[Prothescar]

Just did a Xarc run on DC mobs.

BLU BLU THF

198 Coins, 36 Hopes. 0 double drops.

[arus2001]

Gotten 1 double drop in Xarc over maybe 85 total hopes over time. Friend and I tried EPs and could rarely get more than 3. DCs were better, but numbers usually hovered around 10 per run. Was THF with TH6 for most of it, though did one run with BLU and TH set with Treasure Hound kupower up (so TH2, I guess).

[Diablosword]

So, are there any updated maps showing where TEs and mob types are? The places I used to use still only have pre-change dynamis maps.

[dasva]

Yeah BG wiki

[jimbobsonofgod]

not sure if its been said or not but if you are doing 2 trials in tav, it splits your exp in 1/2. 50% for each trial.

someone posted that they "think charm can proc" on the RQT. i've messed with it a little, didn't get any procs out of maybe ~15 attempts, never bothered with it after that. anyone?

[Alkimi]

Can't find an answer so apologies if already known but do the "weakening items" work on Arch bosses as well as the old zone bosses?

I'm guessing it can(in theory), but you will never be able to land charm on a dynamis mob so you won't actually get a proc with it.

[Foldypaws]

I'm guessing it can(in theory), but you will never be able to land charm on a dynamis mob so you won't actually get a proc with it.

It can't even bind them? I'm assuming that would count as "landing it", for mobs that can't be charmed, and so it actually can't work even in theory, but what do I know.

[shaggnix]

i was thinking the same thing Foldy, it does bind them, its a ja, so it must be able to proc. never got it to work tho. i'll try a little more next time i go in.

[Romyro]

I don’t have a screen shot or anything to prove it, but charm CAN proc on JA mobs. I’ve done it a couple times running away from a Yad Mnks that HFd my pet to death. The idea was to bind them for a few seconds so i could runaway and re-equip a jug.

I've also proc'd with charm while duoing with a friend and 'call beast' wasnt ready.

It can. WHen our group was farming a few days ago in Bubu, the BST just left his pet dead and spammed charm to proc for us. Was pretty funny watching him run around with 5 scorpions chasing him as he spammed charm on them till they proced. We had plenty of DNC and /DNC people, I think he just got bored.

[Cleverness]

Charm can proc, back before Dreamlands when I farmed Jeuno the BST would use it when the CB timer was down. It's just not used often since a BST generally always has a pet active. It definitely procs though.

[NynJa]

Why would a bst not have a pet out though?

and fuck bastok TE's.

[Darkmagi]

An interesting thought for those who dualbox a mage and already have TH, you can whm/bst and ja proc things without being engaged. I know steps and flourishes are ideal, but most dualboxers are not adept enough at it to be constantly engaging and disengaging on 2 characters.
