When you over jumped 100 and/or reach 100 should also be counted as reaching 80 so more like (12+9)/27=77% chance to get to 80.

[Toxeus]

Any idea what your floor clear counts were for those 27 runs? or at least mode average?

missing 4 runs b/c i didnt keep track for 3, and a breaker blew for another 2 losing my data.

16, 14, 14, 15, 17, 17, 19, 18, 18, 18, 15, 17, 17, (starting embrava), 17, 17, 21, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 20

16.5 avg w/o embrava , 18.1 with embrava

17.1 average overall

Has anyone NOT gotten a cotton coinpurse off a F80 kill? I'm thinking F20/40/60 have a chance at cotton, F80 always drops cotton, and F100 always drops linen. Can anyone support this or counter it?

fixing my statement, you can't really add those because there was some times where we jumped over 100 and hit 80 floor which i counted as 80 boss

coincidentally though we hit above 80 21/27 times for your 77% chance to get above 80 rate.

supported
edit: also in addition floor 20/40/60 can drop nothing no gear or purse, while 80 has so far had 100% chance to drop at least 1 item + cotton coinpurse and 100 has had so far 100% chance to drop 1 item + linen coinpurse

[dev1101] Adjustments to Assault: Nyzul Isle Uncharted Region
Upon entering, players will be asked to select Floor 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100 as their ultimate destination. The player will not be sent, nor be able to travel to sections beyond the floor specified.
　
Defeating NMs on Floors 20, 40, 60, and 80 twenty-five times will yield a key item corresponding to that section. The exception is Floor 100, where a single victory will earn the player the item.
These key items can be exchanged with the NPC Berangere at Aht Urhgan Whitegate (L-9) for one piece of equipment obtainable one section beyond that in which they acquired the key item. Players may also confirm with Berangere which items they are eligible to receive.
*The key item will be lost once the exchange is complete.
*Players may possess only one of each type of key item at a given time.


O.. they changed the "testing in progress" for nyzle isle i didnt even notice this, there might be a chance stopper will be added in next update!
also lol at 25 times for picking an item of your choice... jeeze in a months time you wouldnt even be able to get 80 25 times, that seems a bit extreme to me

[Kipling]

OH SHIT

[Draylo]

Yeah 25 is a bit steep, and it's kinda dumb that the NPC just gives you items lol. Like why can't we just kill the NPC and take them! Okay not really, but yeah it would be nice if it was like 5 or something.

Reading is hard?

Kill Floor 80 NM 25x, get an drop from Floor 100. SE said it wouldnt exactly be cheap to get higher floor drops from lower tier NM's...and if you kill a F100 NM, you get a key item and can straight up turn in for an item (or so it seems)

[dasva]

I don't see what you are berating people for as no one has said anything to the contrary to what you highlighted

[NynJa]

Because people were really expecting to be able to kill a f80 boss 5 times and get a f100 drop?

[bechyni]

What's up with Nynja's sig?

[Deader2818]

Some one (most likely in the Nyzul Isle thread) actually paid 50 dollars to ban Nynja for a week.

[bechyni]

Pretty sure you can't donate anymore now that it's over? So maybe they donated cause they like BG then decided to use the ban they got on him?

[NynJa]

Q: What other cool shit can I get for donating?
A: At least five dollars gets you a custom title of your choice, twenty dollars gets you a ban credit (A ban credit lets you remove most bans from your account, some restrictions apply). Fifty dollars lets you pick a spam forum flavor of the month. Fifty dollars also lets you ban a non-staff member from the forums for 7 days. You must pick your bonus when you make your donation by sending me a PM once youve made it. Im sorry but I cant go through a few months worth of notes because you forgot you made a donation.

so unlikely they sat on it. I'm pretty sure you can donate to the server any time you want. Just donating outside of donation drive period means you cant win anything.


the john cena thing was just lulz, it fits in too well to not throw it in.

How does that make you assume people can't read? I said it would be nice if they made it 5, I realize that it's 25 which I said at the start of my post...

Personally I would wrote exactly the same what Nynja.
I wrote this many times but I think ppl have a problem to realize that EVERYONE in the party gets the item AND its exactly the item they want.
Assuming ppl like Toxeus have now 15% chance to get to floor 100 they are getting on avg around 3 RANDOM items from floor 100 in 25 tries.
With trade system you are getting 6 ITEMS OF YOUR CHOICE by killing 80 boss 25 times.
Assuming like you said 5 clears of floor 80 you are looking at more 100floor items than 80floor items from killing 80floor boss. That have no sense at all. That would also let you on avg get FULL SET from floor100 for EVERYONE in the static w/o reaching the floor 100 at all. That would make it probably the easiest to obtain items in the whole history of FFXI and they were suppose to be so good because of their rarity.

[Slycer]

The idea is that if you want F100 stuff they want you to do F100, not F80. They are giving you the option to instead do F80 if you feel that your group is not able to reach 100 on more than 1 out of 25 runs where you would have otherwise reached F80. I think 25 is a perfect number because it encourages people to go for F100. If it was something like 10 I think people would just do F80 forever, even after they got all the +3 they wanted, and F100 would become irrelevant. That's a lot of drops from F100 also, one for each person plus up to three more in the pool when you kill it. All that said, the stopper needs to be put into place for all this stuff to be very relevant.

[noodles355]

I agree with Ateoris and Nynja (never thought I'd say that !!). I still maintain that 25 is a really good number for choosing a drop from the upper floor.

5 times would be absolutely rediculous. With a stopper set at 80 you would have to extremely unlucky (or just plain shit) to not reach and kill F80 boss almost every run. You should easily be able to get 5 F80 kills a week with an F80 stopper, which would mean one F100 item of their choice to each one of the 6 members per week without them actually having to be able to reach F100. That would be 2.5 months to completely complete the F100 content and obtaining all 15 pieces without actually needing the skill to reach F100 at all. That's completely retarded.

[Churchill]

I like that you can basically fuck bringing a THF and get your 1/1 drop every time

Ofcourse there still is no confirmation of a stopper. With no stopper 25 is a pain, maybe 15 would have been more realistic.
