where do we get the .dat for the lamps?
POLUtilis.
While I do believe that modified DATs to be the ideal solution for those able/willing to use them, this thing I posed a few pages back may prove useful for PS2/Xbox/w/e folks.
That looks like all it does is what people normally do or am I mistaken?
Looks like a waste of time. The only annoying thing about lamp order floors is the time it takes to type out the new order each time. Figuring the correct order out isn't exactly Rocket Surgery.
You can copy/paste the output to the chat log and not have to type anything.
Not if you're on xbox or playstation you can't.
It's better for pick up groups where you can't necessarily do the lamp for whatever reason (You're busy cleaning their mess). At the very least, allows people in the PT follow along or pick up where you left off in the event RL emergencies happen.
Its got uses, in fact I suggested using it before our run but others had the .dat mods done which seemed like a better time saver. Anyway as Jem said we didn't get ordered lamps once, was just nice to see if we were dealing with 5 lamps early on.
First run tonight... floors were awful... hit every boss on the way up (20/40/60) and got multiple all enemies floors with 2 or more NMs. Still almost got to 80:
1 Spec Enemy
6 All Enemies (Duke Decapod, Numbing Norman)
12 Lamps (Register)
20 Leader Stealthlord (Tethyan Cuffs, Cotton Coinpurse)
27 Leader Nukku
36 All (Summoning Restricted)
40 Stheno (no drop)
48 All
52 Leader (Iroro Samororo)
56 Lamps (Register)
60 Leader Stealthlord (3 bosses really? purse only)
62 Spec enemies (Flayers)
70 All (2 NMs)
78 Leader (Nekke) (MND Boost)
79 All (Black magic restricted) (3 NMs seriously? gtfo nyzul)
I thought you could skip bosses? Should just skip anything that isn't 60 or higher, and if you are aiming for 80-100, skip 60.
Look at the floor order, we didn't do the bosses on purpose. ??? was putting us to every boss floor, it was silly. If you get to a boss floor, you gotta kill it (it's the "leader" on that floor, which is the objective). Boss floors aren't that bad, kind of in the middle in terms of how much time they take. Spec enemies/all enemies definitely take longer than those bosses from 20 to 60.
Second run. Floor 7 with the 5 lamps order was a major fucking time sink; even though we did it correctly the entries just take forever (without cheating the dats). We were at 9 minutes in when we left floor 7. 27 was a bad time sink also, had a small section there that was packed with mobs and NMs.
1 All Enemies
7 Lamps (Order with 5, gdi)
9 Leader (Abject Awiija)
18 Spec Enemies (Psycheflayers)
20 Leader (Dabargar, Tethyan Trews)
25 Spec Enemy
27 All enemies (4 NMs)
32 Leader (Caramel Custard)
41 Spec Enemies (Heraldic Imp)
46 Lamps (Register)
52 Spec Enemy (Avoid DIscovery)
57 Lamps (Same Time)
61 Spec Enemy
68 Spec Enemies (Psycheflayers) (exited with < 1 minute, 1281 tokens)
Well people have hit 106 now, who will be the lucky winner of a floor 100?
Even with all the skill, you still need a lot of luck to reach 100, lol.
And 3rd party tools
