DAT Mining DISCUSSION -- Feb 12, 2012

There is allegedly a JP announcement that says they are lowering the drop rate of ADL pop items to prevent congestion.

If this happens I'm fisting a baby panda.

Watch out Byrth, he's going to fist you!

I did ask people to try read that post before maint even started. Then I got dragged food shopping with the wife!

[Midnightjade]

Is there now something I can spend all my Nyzul tokens on, other than temp items? I checked this morning and I still have 82,624 of them, and they've been sitting there for almost 4 years.

Base+1+2+3>Shiny, basically

I've been wondering this as well.

So is it:

1. Denali -> Euxine -> +1/2/3 -> Thaumas
or
2. Denali is a drop floor 1-100. Euxine base is then a separate drop when doing the new content.

If one...thats kinda a shitty dropoff to lose the Denali stats while being stuck upgrading Euxine. If two...Do the new pieces drop just in the new content or were they added to the floor 1-100 drop pools. Sorry if this is old info, havn't read up much on the new Nyzul.

The Euxine etc. gear had not been found by anyone on the test server, so we won't know until after the update today.

I hope the new gear doesn't requre Askar/Denali etc. I've barely done any Nyzul besides a romp to 100 for Captain status and have 0 drops. Seems like a cockblock to those of us that spent years slaving away doing Salvage instead of Nyzul.

[noodles355]

I hope the gear doesn't require askar/denali/goliard to upgrade. I'm 15/15 but one or two of those pieces I still use on 99 jobs for specific stats that are missing off the new armors.

Congestion? It's a one minute fight that barely anyone does.

[Kirin]

Oh, I was under the impression that people had actually been testing the new stuff on the test server. Didn't know people have not even found the stuff (or it hadn't been introduced...either way).

God I hope it isnt needing Denali, etc. to upgrade.

On that note, some of those pieces do look especially nice. Just hope they don't need alexandrite to upgrade because thats gonna put a pinch into my Ryunohige push.

[The Meat Toilet]

I'm shocked at how much of that equipment is usable as early as the +2 stage now. It also makes me wonder how long it's expected to take to reach the final stage if the stuff is meant to be used well before then.

"People kept complaining that I was pooping on them and screaming at me to stop. I started pooping in their mouths in order to prevent complaints. So far, I haven't heard a single person screaming!"

I know at least a floor 20 boss had been killed from Neo Nyzul, but it didn't drop any new gear. So it either doesn't drop from that (maybe you buy them with tokens and then kill bosses for trials?), it does and no one has gotten lucky enough to get one, or they just hadn't added it, yeah.

[Prothescar]

in SE's usual fare, to reduce congestion they simply move the congestion to another spot instead of getting rid of it. I'm glad they don't make cold medicine

I just got word that the floor 20 NM did drop base mage legs/feet.

Edit: live server.

On test server or live?

[Stanislaus]

Nares Trews
Adds "Refresh" effect

Coup for the anti-refresh-subligar crowd, bunch of mouth breathers that they are.

[Foldypaws]

On test server or live?

Ah, I was speaking test only. So yeah, seems likely they just didn't add them to the test server. Any word on potential trials for them?

[Prothescar]

Haven't found any NPCs for armor upgrade and the magian moogles don't upgrade it either... Salvage gear NPC maybe?

[Bigsyke]

Watching a stream of Neo-nyzul. They got a ??? item. No idea what it is yet.

Also, NMs I've never seen before. And the drop rate for alexandrites seem shitty, no THF though.

[diasetsu]

We got mage feet and legs on quetz from medusa. There are no trials associated with them, gonna go out on a limb and assume 20 drops nqs, 40 drops +1s, 60 +2s, 80 +3s, 100 is HQ. Get better gear depending on how good ya do. Sounds lame, but it's honestly what I am expecting. We will obviously know once people kill higher than floor 20, gonna try spam entering again when our 30min cooldown is over.
