I was beginning to think we weren't going to do it before update. Kinda seemed that a change of set-up, getting extremely lucky or using clipper (which we won't) would be the only way we'd manage it. So glad to get the monkey off our back. Shame about the drops but happy we got a 100 in before the stopper just to say we did it.

We actually took the 59 > 60 floor midrun as safety just in case we ended up with fuck all. We did get pretty nice floors though I must say.

Also for other people. 3 mins is a very conservative time to kill 100 boss (think that was quoted earlier). Took us 63 seconds from engage to death to kill it and our Embrava had worn by this point too. Way easier to kill than expected. It was no harder than the Vamp and hell 20/40/60 without temps are probably harder.

grats jem! but ew.. 60 gear is garbage, we don't even go to 80 from 78/79 if we're on a good run to 100. 100 > all

[Prothescar]

Got to 100 with 3 minutes to spare. Don't remember the exact floors but we got pretty lucky on some and dicked on others.

Setup was Apoc DRK, Apoc DRK, Almace BLU, Vere MNK, Mandau THF, SCH.

Derpy drops tho.

Gives you the option to have another DD in the mix and by having someone permanently at the rune, you'll have someone to take you up instantly.

Can't lock on the port-up lamp, just the order/time lamps.

Moogle Spectacles?

They don't work.

60 Rheic Korazin, Rheic Legs and Euxine Kecks would still be improvements for some of us I think which is why we went for it. We still had ~10 mins left so went for it as we were primarily aiming for 80.

We'd love to solely aim for 100 but we generally average 17-18 clears which isn't good enough for 100 runs really unless you're lucky. We'll shift our setup and focus to 100 once the stopper is added.


Also sorry I missed your tell! It was at 3:30am for me so I was fast asleep.

holy fuck

[Toxeus]

Thought I'd compile a quick list of all the NMs you can encounter on the leader floor.

Scutum Chariot-mortal rev
Pistolium Chariot-homing missle
Bellum Chariot-discoid
Cornum Chariot-brainjack
each chariot basically mimic's a salvage boss's special move

Cardamom Custard-Worst NM possible HIGH -DT like 90% spams scythe/spikes for 800+ Dmg formless strikes/twilight scythe penetrate it
Groaty Custard-will randomly heal after a tp move to a certain type of dmg/person's dmg
Caramel Custard-boiling point/amplification combo

Nekke-Joke NM Bugal Call/Frenetic Rip
Nokko-Stifling (silence/dmg)
Nukku-Grating (i think) (amnesia/dmg) rough one

Abject Farzahd-Normal type flayer does normal flayer stuff
Abject Karoub-One of the harder NMs, uses high tier blu spells
Abject Awiija-Spams Reprobation

Uroro Samaroro-uses low tier water spells for high dmg, spams water bomb
Aroro Samaroro-normal frog, can use frog song
Iroro Samaroro-spams magic hammer

Eye Piercer Fafaroon - EES
Nerve Render Yiyiroon-high evasion
Mad Miner Boboroon-runs and uses bombs

ones to watch out for are Abject Karoub, Nukku, and Cardamom Custard any one of those guys are extremely dangerous

Another note, last night we got to 100 with flurry effect and the boss was on crack.. he spammed thundarous shriek for 800+ dmg each time and it goes through fool's drink.. so yeah we pulled off the kill but he wasn't joking around. Just thought i would mention it.

[transmit]

One of the flayers spams Reprobation, much to the hatred of our entire party, I'm guessing Abject Awiija as he's the only one you havent mentioned. Also I believe Iroro uses Magic Hammer only, while Aroro uses very low tier water spells which do insane damage, waterga for the same damage as Waterja etc.

Does anyone know what Bugle Call actually does?

never ran into that flayer, and ill update my list, and bugle call does nothing lol, it's why i called him a joke nm

[transmit]

Actually I was wrong, it is Uroro who uses low tier for high damage, guess he just has two gimmicks along with waterbomb spam. Either way I'll pay attention on our next sets of runs for leader gimmicks.

Gives him a blind aura iirc

wouldn't call the EES rat dangerous, EES did 600 I think to our war and even then you can seigan/eye for it. Mad bomber can diaf, if he runs into a bad amount of adds it can end badly and of note fana drink wont block his bomb damage.

[Toxeus]

eh lol, i called things dangerous that can actually kill us with embrava/regen up

[Jem]

I think Caramel Custard uses Boiling Point/Amplification combo.

I seem to remember Farzahd being dickish with curse and bio and paralyze. Not dangerous dickish, just annoying dickish.

Pistolium Chariot is Homing Missile chariot (although I've never actually seen him use it). Scutum Chariot is Mortal Revolution.

Eye Piercer's EES aren't fully powered. They only do ~700. Still dangerous but not one-shot dangerous like you'd expect from EES.


Bugle Call seems to give random lulzy debuffs like Blind and Bio.

[Byrthnoth]

The biggest effect I notice from Bugle Call is the Imp attacking about twice as fast. It seems to give them substantial Haste.

[Jem]

I suppose it's possible. It's hard to notice because he generally dies extremely quickly. Maybe we can steal or dispel it the next time we see it to see if that reveals anything.

[Sute]

Bugle call does give the imp in abyssea vunk HF speed attacks but as Jem said not noticed it on this guy, either way its a joke of a mob.

[NynJa]

on Div-e Sepid it causes a strong bio aura and gives it a haste effect

[noodles355]

Cardamom Custard-Worst NM possible

Lol.

To expand on this: Upon seeing custard, a sensible group will send their weakest member back to the rune while the Sch goes out to nuke flan with DDs. Makes very quick work of it.
