Depends how much effort has SE put into making lamps random. It might be truly random with game performing 5-sided dice rolls every time you enter a lamp floor (or even not until someone clicks a lamp). It wouldn’t require that much computational power, especially after everyone who could/would use dats, got their 15/15 already and people who struggled/were late to the party will give up eventually – so not much extra server load.
If it’s quasi-random, it could be several ‘sets’ of numbers (If I’m not wrong, 3-lamp order has 6 possible permutations, 4-lamp: 24 permutations and 5-lamp: 120 permutations?), as someone suggested before, picked based on current floor number, current floor layout, current floor map used, current game day, game day you entered the zone, current moon %, party leader’s name, current weather in Tokyo etc. Pick three factors from the above, pop those into semi-randomizer equation and you’d have people having a very hard time figuring it out (given small sample sizes and most of the cheat-inclined people being done with the event by now).
On a bright side, it would be hilarious if the correct order was being sent into our client and stored in RAM.

sooo just saw this screenshot on ah.com does thaumas shit now drop in salvage or is this a shop?


sry if it has been posted before.

[Toth]

Oh boy.

Either a shop or SE made a pretty big mistake lol

[Byrthnoth]

No, it doesn't drop in Salvage. Those items aren't real, it's just the game pulling up the wrong name associated with the Item ID. If the guy checked in his inventory, he'd doubtlessly see a zone card, cell, or Alexandrite.

ok seriously wtf did SE do in this update with the randomizing of nyzul isle lamp? ¬.¬

Couldnt they limit it to just 1 zone? dat swasp all over the place created by SE themself!

[TheDangerousDave]

It would be awesome if that were real with like 10% drop rate of a random piece from a set (4 zones, 4 NNI sets, boss drops 1 of the 5 pieces randomly etc).

[TheDirtyHobo]

4 NNI sets

Might want to check the math on that one, I think something may be off.

[Detzu]

Did anyone get a win since the update? Order floors aside, it seems we have shitty jumps with huge ass big floors.
Also, I was wondering if SE did something to the floors configuration .

[Eurell]

Went 2/4 on Monday night. First win we had about 7 minutes to spare lol.

[Tsuneo]

I wish we got lucky like that. I think the best we've ever done was like 2 minutes to spare.

[Aylee]

We averaged a 25% win rate before update went 1/3 last night with 8 min left when hit last floor

[NynJa]

[Obsidian]

Did mob difficulty get tweaked along with the Lamps or is this guy in my Ig party just talking out his ass to try and justify charging 15M for NNI wins?

[NynJa]

Wants to charge more because more than likely, an order lamp will fuck up the run.

[Yukari]

How much is the norm for NNI mercing btw?

[Prothescar]

15m sounds about right tbh.

[Asymptotic]

I've seen plenty of people willing to go for less than 10m.
Lowest I've seen is 5.

[Lildrama]

lmao 15m is what we start out at we go lower but.. why offer lower if u can get 15m out of them lol.. this update gots alot of ppl scared.. Oder wont fuck us up so its all good but taking advantage while it last ;P

[Spicyryan]

I can't imagine paying 15m for the gear, let alone 100k.

I went to Jeuno and shouted twice one day. Viola, I made a static and we always win one out of three runs, before last night we have been going about 2/3 every night. If we can do that well with a DRK that had no movement speed gear, no one going through walls, running faster than 12%, etc. Then how incompetent are people?

I guess the answer is very, but in the spirit of the lamp change we should all burn mules with no sub up to 99 and afk in PJ with full sets of gear. Can gather some more data on the lamps while people rage.
