Legion - info and strategies

[Shenrien]

On our server, someone made (at least six) mules and named them cruormulenum (e.g. cruormulefour), and guess what he does with them? I haven't done a cruor burn in a while since I haven't really needed gil for anything recently, but yes, they are the easiest way to make money in my opinion.

On our server we have someone named Blueskysapphier, and if they're not doing void watch they're out cruor burning, they leave 10 mules in ule, and will fight to the death over detectors if you attempt to over camp them, so far they've acquired; kraken club, annihilator, yoichi, and I'm not entirely sure what they are doing now with all the gil he pulls in, undoubtedly I'm sure he's selling a good chunk of his earnings, paying 142.89 every month over a game is silly, his time not mine I don't care what he ends up doing with it all >_> I just find it a bit silly to spend that much a month on a game just to capitalize on something the games coders have over looked, still waiting to see a nerf on the shit.

Does anyone have a list of the gear that was implemented on the test server that has special effects in the Last Stand /Legion battlefield?

[Mahoro]

Bumpity bumpity, post testimonials here. So far people saying bring 5-10 BLM's and 2 PLD.

Entering a run now...

Since Legion was introduced today. I figured I'd resurect this post. Please post your findings on this as well as drops, Legions points per kill and so on. Thanks!

So it's a wormhole to 2006?

[Mahoro]

Yay nostalgia! You even have to pass by old Rolanmart so it's even more 2006

BLMs are definitely nice.

We tried it with 18 people. We found that 2-3 BLM for that is more than enough if you take a ranger or two as part of your melee.

2 PLD & 2 RDM were enough to hold the Turtle / Jormy while everyone else took down the Behemoth.

I can imagine it to be a cluster fuck with 36 people though.

We got 2 mobs down, and 40% on the Wyrm - would have got more down had we the sense to take in more than 1 BLM, and a couple of rangers. Still, you learn

[Nightfyre]

Same shit that happens every update, give it a few weeks and we'll all be TP burning it.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Man, that shit is intense. Hall of An, was Behemoth, Wyrm, and an Adamantoise. Went in, small room at the start, gives you 4-5 mins to buff, get shit sorted, you can enter early by touching a legion portal early.

Went in with 36 people, was a empty large ass room to start. Everyone thought it was like dynamis so we all broke up and wondered around. About 30 seconds to 1 minute in, all 3 spawned and promptly aggro'd. With no real direction or anyone really listening we managed to get Ada down to 27% before we all wiped. It's Alli shared hate. They will go Idle and not recover Hp if left alone.

Managed to get everyone to a far away wall while we had a Twilight Pld sac hold them. Killed the Ada once everyone was unweaked. Got 10 legion Points, a Scroll of Thundaja went into the Pool. Timed out after that.

Second run, tried Room of Ki.
We had a better plan but didn't know what mobs to expect. Khim, Hydra, and Cerb. All able to do their big attacks from the get go. Got hit with a two Gates of Hades and a Nerve Gas within seconds. Killed my Alli pretty quickly.

Had a plan to split into 3 Allis of 12. Worked decently till Khim did his Fulmination on us, I think 3 times in a room, killed us pretty quick. Khim went to the party fighting the Cerb. They quickly died, then it was the same for the Pt who was fighting Hydra.

In the 30 min time limit 3 Abyssea Elementals spawned. At first we didn't notice them but then we were all dead and weakened when we finally did. Didn't have a chance to kill to them to find out what they did before they despawned. Someone was saying that they give AoE Temps and other stuff.

[Shenrien]

10 points per kill, I assume 100 for clear, haven't cleared, been doing Hall of An, Lofty Wyrm, Behemoth and Adamantoise on floor. Wyrm goes in the air around 65% lands at 30%, basic TP moves nothing special, all its spells are AoE.

Behemoth seemed to have a pattern, Fire4, Firaga3, Firaja, Meteor, no clue if it could be stunned, didn't see any attempt, not sure if mentality of mobs of that nature immune to stun like their respected familiar in Limbus and in BD. Adamantois takes almost nothing from melee attacks, and magic damage seems to fair decent against him.

Thunder was strong against Wyrm, never got to go against Behemoth, and Adamantois Ice seemed to do solid numbers against him, Aegis tank highly recommended for the chamber, at least 1 for each mob as they do hit really fucking hard 500 - 800 unlocked, wouldn't say /nin cause they do favor ga spells and aoe TP moves over single target.

[Belkin]

Their single target nukes are turned into AoE anyway. I would suggest NOT using /NIN. Was worthless.

[Khiinroye]

Went to An with 18, cleared the first wave. (behemoth > turtle > wyrm). Magic did well against the turtle, physical damage did not. 10/20/30 points, and the 3rd mob dropped a lofty trophy. We got Tome of Abdjalis on War (xp scroll), Aeroja, and a darkling bolt quiver for items. Killing the elementals gives a temp item to the person who kills it.

[Kaisha]

Someone was saying that they give AoE Temps and other stuff.

If it's the same as the test server, they give a random AoE temp to the person that gets the killshot. They also wander regardless of you attacking it.

[Kipling]

Got 30 for clearing the last mob, and a trophy thing. Also dropped a medal.

We weren't sure if we were done or not, but then we found out we weren't.

Not sure if any of this has been posted yet, didn't read.

[Guitarman]

last 2 lines of chat crack me up.

[Khiinroye]

Different group than the pics above, also cleared the first wave of Ki (18 person version). The hydra has hate reset with serpentine tail and nerve gas. It didn't use bulwarks, but spams debuffs and has a fast attack speed. It has something weird with ~33/tic poison, possibly aura some of the time. The khimaira is easily tail tanked, and wasn't much of a threat. The pld had it to 87% by the time the Cerberus died, so we killed it 2nd.

2/4 trophies so far.

The 5 minutes in the antechamber after you run out of time is nice to make sure you don't lose drops.

Good to know more useless shit drops from the first wave.

[Tahona]

we had some idiots keep hitting the sandworm and curing it to full multiple times. Yay pickups.

[Shenrien]

Kick them and find replacement?
