Neo-Dynamis Changes

[nyphani]

Just finished a Dynamis San d'Oria run. ...

Thanks, thats a really helpful post!

I just finished Dynamis- Bastok, heres what I found so far...

SMN NM at choco stables
DRK NM behind AH
BLM NM at the bottom of the stairs in alley
MNK NM by Gumbah's house, J-7 top floor

These are the same NMs as old dynamis-bastok, they seem to all have a good chance of dropping Steelwall Bijou, which is used to pop Gu'Gha Effigy at the zone to gustaburg. Effigy drops Fiendish Tome: Chapter 6.

Blackscale ??? at zone to Zeruhn Mines, NM popped is SMN/???
Engraving ??? at zone to markets
Charm ??? west of Depot, SE of Zeruhn
Letterbox ??? in restricted area by alchemy guild (where SMN NM TE used to be)

Assuming these drop chapters 7-10 for Arch Effigy?

TE are Adamantking Images: In AH (10 min), in alley outside armor shop (10 min), outside Gumbah's house (10 min), outside alchemy guild (15 min), on ramp to depot (15 min)

Hope this helps! If anyone else can write up what they find from the other zones, I'd think you're awesome.

Because you see time remaining when you zone in. Logging on after DC also tells you your time remaining! ;D

Ahh indeed indeed. :O

[Fievel]

So no info on how to pop the attestation NM's yet?

That reminds me, what's the conensus on Twashtar vs Mandau since Rudra's basically sucks ass without SA or TA behind it.

Mercy is sucky without stacking too. But because Rudra benefits from having RR atma though, it's more useful inside Abyssea. Outside, Mercy wins from the LVL90 bonus damage and because the STR will actually affect your fSTR

The Rudra Aftermath is without question better than Mercy aftermath, but consider in either case you give up a lot of potential damage vs. Evisceration when you aren't stacking (though considerably less outside and on higher level mobs)

I'd say right now, all things considered, a better aftermath pulls Twashtar ahead. But keeping in mind that there was a ninja buff to the hidden triple, if that trend continues in 95/99 it could easily swing in Mandau's favor. The expected final proc rate of around 15% (assuming linear progression) would make it almost equivalent with the benefits of being far easier to maintain and stacking with the AF3 triple (which I've heard Twash does not do)

Did a quick Beaucedine run this evening. Went in with 8 (7 if you consider the dualboxed bard).

Got about a dozen pieces of AF and about the same for coins. Drop rate of coins was bad.

Got one time extension off a statue, 10 minutes.

Got a "Sadist's Fortune Parchment" off a Hydra Black Mage. Popped Quiebitiel at lake southwest of the tower where Mildaunegeux used to be. Killed it easily and got an Attestation of Sacrfice.

A BLM and the WHM in our team prompty gayed out on us and started arguing about they should get it for the epic whm club they want to do one day.

The WHM then spazzed out because he wanted the win and I didn't want to go over there because our time was low and he kept insisting that the boss pops as soon as you enter the zone and nothing I could say could convince him that they probably changed it to a popped mob. Anyone know if it is a popped mob to win Beaucedine now?

It really depends on how much TP you have. With Blood Rage and capped cRatio, 300% SATA Rudra's Storm can probably get around 10k outside of Abyssea.

That's funny, 'cause most posts I've read on here say that you should use Mercy Stroke (and WS in general on THF) separate from SA & TA.

Well, w/e doesn't apply to me anyway I was just curious.

How does Rudra's benefit from RR though, exactly? I'm assuming you mean the 60% DEX mod since the WS doesn't crit on its own.

The 50dex to the 60% dex mod, and you stack SA/TA with Rudra's, or Evi will beat it in Abyssea, and since you're force criting it, the +30% crit dmg will help.

wtb too ; ;

[Cesaria]

Did you proc any weakness?

Sorry for late reply on that one cos I went to sleep - the double drop one WAS procced by aspir I believe because I was having to hold it on my BLM mule while we unweakened as my dear husband had Leeroyed in and not checked that the mob he was poking was one of the hard ones and not an EP fodder one, dropped 2 T.Whiteshells I think it was from a VT Kindred RDM.

[Obsidian]

wtb too ; ;

Read like two posts below that.

Not sure if anyone posted locations of Xarc TE, but here they are to the best of my memory:

old Animated Hammer spot = Tombstone Prototype (J-10?)
old Animated Great Axe spot = Prototype Eye (I-8)
old Animated Shield spot = Effigy Prototype (G-10) I think this one is actually in the west tunnel, not the east, near Boreal Hound regardless
around the "eye tower" = Icon Prototype (H-8) you'll see this one following the spine and what-not, it's right in the way of the tired 'path' I ran in Dynamis for so many years
south nook of the "wall of death" = Statue Prototype (F-8) I didn't actually kill this one, so it may be a little off

All of the TE give 10 min, except for the eye which gave 20min


Also, as everyone else has said, the "regular" NMs are lotto pops off their respective jobs. You can usually find the lotto mobs near the respective Satellite weapons. i.e.; Duke Gomory and Count Raum are lotto pops off the Kindred Monks and Kindred Thieves around the Animated Knuckles and Animated Daggers

[Arthars]

Some question tho....

That hydra BLM u killed to pop the mage attestion NM.... Did you kill it near the pop spot? Or pop items drops according to hydra jobs anywhere equivalent to the attestion NMs?

[Rocl]

I think what everyone is missing is that relic trials just got easier awwwwwwwwwh yeah

kill five attestation NMs in a rowwwww

[Dathus]

Just had some fun messing around in Beaucedine.

Polearm/Axe/Staff tower is Traitor's Fortune parchment

Shield tower is Despot's Fortune Parchment

Gun/H2H/Katana tower is Villain's Fortune Parchment

GKatana is Deluder's Fortune Parchment

and I assume the BRD tower is Sadist's Fortune Parchment(didn't check myself, but have the parchment from a Hydra around the tower)

Time Extensions we found:

Goblin Statue between the first two towers by the ramp up for 10 minutes

Orc Statue by old NM lake for another 10 minutes.



Also, Angry Mainyu is as fun as ever. Spawning with his Pukis.

so ermmmm NM placement changed while their trigger still drop from their respective towers?

[Plow]

emp ws can proc in dynamis lol

[Arthars]

i think the proc system is as random as woe's lol

[Devolver]

i think the proc system is as random as woe's lol

I agree with this. I almost would go on to say that this system has been in the game for a long long time, just SE decided to visualize it.

[Dathus]

No idea. Just the towers I mentioned are where I found what trigger by talking to the ???. Thought maybe the NMs were in the same spot. Apparently not =/
