Neo Nyzul Isle (Will FFXI continue? Find out on the next FFXI XP Pack!)

[Slycer]

We saw the same thing a few days ago, I stopped and stared for a good 30secs before running off. Was yours on a lamp floor as well?

I think so -- makes sense together with what Byrth said regarding them swapping the lamps around with dummy npcs. Still pretty hilarious to see random elvaan named dummy standing in the corner. I'm guessing it was supposed to be flagged as one of those invisible NPCs and wasn't.

Just did a few Nyzul runs and on one of them there was an Elvaan NPC (Prince Trion in armor) named "dummy" standing alone in the corner in one of the rooms. Was pretty hilarious, don't know why I didn't nab a SS. Didn't bother clicking for fear of crashing my game or causing something else stupid to happen (everyone with me who was running through there also saw dummy).

Possibly for the Heroine's Tower event, but they messed up some code.

I hate this place. First 9 jumps got us to floor 25... yeah like 2.66 average... and a -1 min penalty . Ended it at 62 after 16 or 17 jumps

[noodles355]

At least you still have a group to go with ._.

[dasva]

Yeah... but they are a merc group I'm paying lol

I seen some testing on Soldier's Drink recently but can't seem to find it anywhere. Any idea what it does and possibly if it's worth carrying for Neo Nyzul?

I think someone said its double dmg for your next attack

[Alistrianna]

not sure how relevant this is but Soldier's Drink has just been a waste of tokens. They delay between using the drink and being able to use a weapon skill is longer than it takes attack rounds to kick in from auto-attacking at near capped delay.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, in order to test it and be sure what I was doing I had to disengage from the monster, use it, and re-engage/WS.

[Arthars]

soldiers is good for usage > opening engage + WS

thats all in between battle usage is just a waste of time if u wanna do it properly, else u end up wasting on the next swing since u attack so fast

I just grab Fanatics and Bodyboost. Nothing else seems worth the time or tokens.

You never grab Sprinters? Shit is helpful.

Probably not a bad idea but I can't think of a single run I've lose from not having some sort of flee. At this point we only do NN to Merc gear.

It's pro as hell for lamp floors, especially a code floor when the lamp is a ways away.

[Alistaire]

So there's a bunch of Armoury Crates in the npc list for Nyzul, so other than the one/ones for ??? items off NMs is it possible that each one would correspond to one specific temp being in them? And if so, could that be determined which is which and important ones be renamed to say "Armoury Crate (revit)"?

[NynJa]

Before reading further, I'll tell you that with 99.9% certainty, it doesnt work that way. However, you could name them 1-30 and track what you get from them if you want to be sure.

Why I'm certain it doesnt work that way:
when doing GoV, I've tracked chest ID's, and found that both blue and gold chests can load up with the same ID (not at the same time...but Chest1 will load up blue, then 10 minutes later a Chest1 will load gold). So it probably loads a random item when the chest is spawned. Similarly with how you couldnt do this in abyssea, otherwise everyone would have datswapped out all the shitty gold chests / ruby red chests and item blue chests.

[Spicyryan]

Heh, yeah I don't like being accused of doing something I'm not either (does anybody??) - like this, otw to Akvan as war wearing Hermes Sandals...

And even if I did use clipper I wouldn't be so stupid as to blatantly use it in front of just anybody.

But yes, totally agree with what you say Jem. Moral of the story - just don't use clipper in NI and don't go with anybody that you know will use it, the gear is awesome but not worth losing your account over.

Random page to comment on (103), but I was looking for something.

Saw this and just face palmed. Cosetta did the same thing to me. I was on BLU doing Sobek and using only w legs on the pull and she had the same exact dialogue with me.

It is okay because this took place after and I just felt bad for them. Like watching someone with down syndrome in a wheelchair trying to climb a single step alone.

Anyone know what Bugle Call does? It doesn't deal damage or enfeeble us and there's nothing in the log to clue anyone in to what it does, it just says "Nekke uses Bugle Call."

We got some last night:

There were a couple of them, and nothing happened when I clicked it.

AoE Bio and it gives them pretty substantial Haste.
