Neo-Dynamis Changes

[Koyangi]

I've barely touched zone bosses since the update, but I thought there were two different "mega bosses". The one for clears should still be a joke (the one in Windurst was, anyway). They pop with two adds that are sleepable. Trying to kill the boss stat with just a THF might be tricky anyway though.

As far as Jeuno is concerned, Wiki says any aggro your party had prior to pop will depop, does this also mean newly popped mobs while you fight mega boss cannot aggro you? and do you lose buffs when it pops? Thanks.

I recently did Jeuno. Tried 2boxing it Bst x2 with NN. Waited on Call Beast timer cool down then popped boss. To my suprise my pets went bye bye! I don't remember if pro/shell went as well as I was concentrating on recalling pets.

The pop is far enough away that you should not aggro any mobs while fighting.

[Byrthnoth]

All of the ??? poppable NMs in Dynamis seem to unsummon pets/avatars when they spawn.

[Cleverness]

I don't remember the Jeuno boss removing buffs when we did him a few times, but he does desummon pets when he is popped, and can still cast Death although it wasn't very often.

Anyone fought the NQ DL lately ? Was gonna try today and wanted to know if there's any strats or and what setups ppl have been using.

2 good melees a bard and perfect defense is enough to take him down. 4 melees if you want to be safe.

can 1 kraken drk bring him down? XD

Check out the first weapon in the game (aside from those GM characters...) that features an awesome aura effect on it. What's that? You want to know how to get one of your very own!? Simple... Take down the Arch Dynamis Lord for a chance at this sweet new sword!

has this been posted in 4/5 different threads now?

[bungiefan]

Sorry, I tried to find it in recent postings. I went back a page or two in all the relavent threads I could think of and didn't see it.

[Hbrah]

please forgive me, but i just read through the thread but couldn't find any information on one part: to get the r/ex pop items to spawn the NMs in dyna-sandy, do you just kill regular mobs and pray they drop?

Thats how i've gotten them. I think they drop off specific ones. I know I've gotten i think... the Scale from an Orc PLD around the 4th TE.

Zone boss pop items come from a few NMs.

Anyone else had currency prices sky-rocket since this came out? Everything's up to 15k+ on Asura.

Seems every time SE tries to reduce currency prices it has the exact opposite effect. Hopefully it'll calm down once more people realise how to do it properly but not holding out much hope.

[Indalecia]

Once everyone knows how to do it, everyone will be camping at the same spots and fighting for claim.

[Byrthnoth]

I hypothesize that NM job determines which type of monster drops the pop item. Can anyone confirm?

[Syntex]

Poppable NM's might switch jobs. The NM where Maat is that spawns with the grenade(I think) we fought and wiped to today. At certain times he was hard as hell to hit and others easy as pie. Possible they switch jobs during combat as he wasn't 2houred but to go from almost all misses to 95% acc when he starts casting spells its a possibility. That or just random luck with RNG.

I don't expect currency to trickle back down normal prices once people get wind of it for awhile. Hell, I don't expect alot of people to do dyna JUST for the currency but i'm sure I'll eat those words in a month or two. A lot of dyna shells kept it going cause of terrible droprates on Relic armor + waiting lists for them, so they got a nice flux of currency. Now everyone can pretty much get any AF2 item they were missing in a small setup, and dyna shells are pretty much dead now. Only major currency being moved now is people who are actively farming for it, and the average person can barely function outside of Abyssea without getting carried by Atma.

[Mercilessturtle]

Drop rates on armor have been really high for a long time, and dynamis was a joke to do with 6 people before the update. There was already no reason to do it, you could cap on armor in a couple runs. Prices are up a little because drop rates are lower, but not up by much because now there's always 100 gimp bsts soloing every day to make up for the lack of linkshells doing it.

[Cleverness]

Unless the BSTs are getting every TE they aren't gonna be making much currency. Which a BST can do but a solo BST is gonna lose alot of time waiting on Call Beast timer for it if the pet gets a link fighting the statue/eye, which is unavoidable in some locations. Then that leaves them being able to only proc a few things + limited to solo killspeed. I can't see a solo BST reliably farming something like Jeuno where you get an asston of links.

Farming for currency is going to be between the 3 cities or rather the city where the currency has the highest resale value. There's no point coming out of Jeuno with a boat load of whiteshell that goes for half the price of bynes, if the intention was to make resell it.
