Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Seshat]

I do Qufim duo as (Mandau) THF/DNC and (Twashtar) DNC/WAR with a 2boxed RDM/BLM. We pull 550 +50 Journeys consistently and pulled over 600 before as well (Prior to us having a relic). Considering there's 2 of us, at current server prices we each make just under 2.5M per run. However, we go to a different DC camp. The downside is it can only hold one group. If a solo'er comes in your overall total will decrease dramatically.

[Detzu]

We go as NIN/DNC THF/DNC DNC/XXX... DNC pulls, tries to get initial proc, main heals while NIN+THF proc current target (if not already by DNC) and kill. Maximizes chance of white proc without slowing killspeed, which goes pretty fast on account of Hi>Rudra's 2-shotting everything. Any DD/DNC should be useful, but I like NIN because it can become highly evasive on demand with Yonin+Issekigan and evasion gear on top of Utsusemi. DC mobs like to hang out in groups, and a whole bunch of adds trying to eat you without Signet bonus can go south in a hurry, so we send the NIN in first to eva supertank til they're all procced and killed.

We did this same thing on EPs for awhile, and we doubled our potential currency per run when we moved up to DCs.. but given how crowded EP camps tend to be, we pretty much tripled our take.

Also, I have nothing but anecdotal evidence to back this up, but it definitely seems to me like DCs proc faster than EPs. Also, disagreeing with the notion that it only seems this way due to DCs living longer; if your DCs live longer than your EPs, you shouldn't be fighting DCs lol.

When i was farming with my group, we found a great combination and were able to drop around 650 coins per run + extra forgotten items. Set up was sam/dnc with shoha (me) thf/dnc brd/whm with daurdabla 3 songs.

We get a pretty nice valkrum done with my group doing the shrooms, trees, and sheep loop. With THF/DNC dualing a WHM/SCH, SAM/DNC, and me on DRG/SAM avg 700-800 depending on competition for mobs. Granted we do have a 99 Amano and 99 Ryunohige but it works pretty well for us.

[Helel]

Have yet to see anyone killing my lovely cacti in valkurm. Never any competition.

BLU/DNC+RDM/DNC (dual box) THF/DNC 650+; 680ish was best iirc.

So I was wondering if anyone else has noticed ADL behaving somewhat weird since the last update? Every time we have popped him since then, he opens by casting an -aga3 spell immediately followed by more of the same, spell locking people and bringing us into yellow/orange hp before PD has a chance to go off.

The past 10 posts sounded to me like:-

I get over 250 currencies each because I have Mythic/Relic/Empy weapons/Daurb. harp


If you're not retarded, any non-relic empy duo in Qufim can do 500+ with 40+ Forgotten Journeys.

He's always been that way. Can pop in Magic spam mode, or melee mode.

[Mairja]

I'm aware of that, but he seems to be stuck in magic mode since the update, it's happened every damn time we've popped him.

Do DC fomors in beaucedine have a significantly higher drop rate on parchments than EPs? I just went 3/87 on them fighting EP hydras south of yags.

I think the drop rate is slightly higher, but even doubling horrible is still pretty horrible.

thats why we always PD 1second before poping. Had aga3>paralyga >sleepga at start once.

[Aramaic]

We always do our cor rotation 4 rolls on each melee party and than embrava on each followed by pd right before pop. Works out pretty well as long as you dont pick the wrong one more than twice lol.

[Mairja]

Might have to start doing that if this continues, I know it's been ~20 pops after the update when he's spammed aoe spells right off the bat and I guess it's just a matter of time before he spams something else than just elemental magic.

[Aramaic]

My group always had better luck on the ep fomors. I swear that odius items off the dc mobs ninja into my atest pop item slot on dc's.

Can anyone give me some pointers on farming cop dyna? I've never done cop dyna but close to finishing a relic and wanted the extra coins sence everyone talking about 500+ coin duos. Our set up is thf/dnc (th7), blu/dnc (almace), whm/rdm. We usually do xarc and bring in ~200 singles and w/e 100's we manage to get off Nm's.

[Darkmagi]

Oh god that's just awful, 3 people pulling in 200 coins? Why did it take you so long to start on COP zones?

Basically it is just changing camp every 8 game hour to kill nightmare mobs that can be proc by /ja. Kill ep mobs if you are soloing, dc mobs for duo or trio. Read the last few pages of this thread for more useful tips.

Get familiar with nightmare mob cycles and their placement in each of the zones. If someone can be a DNC main (not the THF), that'll help with proc-ing (extra JA ability timer that can do so). Skillchains are your friend. Avoid crowds whenever possible and try not to compete.

Not that I'm doubting the ability to farm 500+ at 99, you have to be willing to accept these people are talking about their higher end of their return yield and possibly talking about uncontested runs. If you enter an area, and then for whatever reason 20 people roll in, you're not going to get 500+ duo.

[Aramaic]

I know at least for my group we prefer Valkrum though touches aren't worth shit anymore here lol. For JA cycle there you wanna do Shrooms for bynes, Sheep for bronze, and Trees for whites. Now if there is crowding you can do Damselflies for bynes, hyppos for bronze, and manticore for whites as a backup plan. As far as the rotation. 0:00-8:00 is Bynes, 8:00-16:00 is Bronze, and 16:00-0:00 is whites for ja purposes. Most groups on Lakshmi focus on trying to go in around 16:00 game time so that they get two full byne, bronze rotations because whites here are 5k-5.5k ish rest are in low 7's. Hope that helps.
