Is Dynamis Bastok just a piece of shit to get TE's in or what? I was sneaked on my way to 5th TE and a Vanguard Kusa starts casting on me and my sneak drops, and I'm going wtf. Of course this links that whole alleyway because sound aggro/link mobs bring the whole family.

**Darkmagi** · 2012-02-21 16:22

Statues aggro sight.

**Koyangi** · 2012-02-21 16:26

Are TE's true anything, or are only NM's true sound?

**Darkmagi** · 2012-02-21 16:28

Nothing is true anything in dynamis(besides hippo and tauri of course), Statues are sight, quadav are sound. You likely aggroed a statue and linked a bunch of stuff if you only had sneak.

TE's just sight, NMs shouldn't be true-anything either.

How do people get the 3 alleyway TE's done with a typical setup of DD + healer? The 1st is around 9 mobs and can link bottom too, so 12+ possibility, the 1 by MNK NM can bring 4+, and the 1 at the very end of bottom of alley has like 6 mobs by it.

The one close to MNK shouldnt link anything unless you doing something very wrong.
The one at north is in middle of mobs but they are EP so can easily rape any links at 99.
The one clos to Alchemy's guild is close to 2 DC quadavs. Wait till they are close to statue and kill them (standing on statue it wont link to them it can only aggro) then kill the statue or make 100TP+ and wait when they will be far enough to just one shoot statue and sneak yourself fast. But really at 99 you should have not even small problem with just killing them.

can just have the healer aggro and sac everything to the staircase while the DD kills the TE. And anybody have a link to that resting thingy to track VNMs?

**Radec** · 2012-02-21 16:50

Seconding "just kill them" - don't try to be sneaky and fancy with it, assume 2+ links and aim to sleep whatever is most dangerous to you.

Safer to clear links before grabbing the TE (TE 1min repop, rest 5m) so you don't end up with TE repopping on your mage.

That works obviously but its like bringing SMN for Perfect Defense at Chloris.

Apradar3, but I think the functionality requires the Pro version.

**jimbobsonofgod** · 2012-02-21 17:24

don't think it works anymore think VNM is server side now as far as I know there was a resting app though I believe.

The function no longer shows you exactly where the VNM is, but when you rest the Map Radar shows an area at the appropriate distance where the VNM could be. This is updated each time you rest.

Screw your magic barrier!!! If you going to diffusion something for magic dmg do saline coat!

To anyone who may have both, which relic would you put priority on to complete first - apoc or amano? I currently already own Yoichi as well.

This may sound like common sense or not, but you have to have your avatar out to get credit for the avatar kill if another of the same avatar kills the mob. I teamed up a few times when doing the avatar staves, I can attest to this.

if you call a GM and said you werent aware your name was taken and you were in a rush to log in and just picked whatever without thinking it over, they might let you change. I know a couple people got to do a second name change when the servers merged. But that could have been a temporary thing.

Good to know, and I wouldnt really consider it common sense information, since the trial doesnt imply the avatar being out.

He's talking about the script written with the newest version of fface.com. It allows you to trigger the message without actually healing. The downside of course is apparently people can see you sliding across the zone while /healing and will potentially get you banned pretty easily. I don't have the link for it anymore sadly but you can try searching for my name in the previous RQTs, I asked about it and may have posted a link.

Can someone point me in the right direction for info on the beginning atmas to get? I mostly party with 4 other IRL friends on the weekends and we have:

Atma of the Heir
Atma of Ambition
Atma of the Ebon Hoof

Not sure where to go from there. I mostly play mage types, another is almost always RDM and the others are DD's. We know the atmas we want eventually (Minikin for me and the RDM, and Razed Ruins for the others) but it's not like we can just go off get them now. Been looking for a good guide but haven't found any good info yet. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Ah, I wasn't aware of that particular script's existence. Is what you're describing different from Clipper's Idle mode?
