Dynamis-Buburimu experience

[Wizerd]

Sure it's possible. Get your subjobs back, find the time extensions (I'm sure there are some), kill the dragons and probably win the zone, then you'll get 400 coins and 12 AF (maybe) .

[Raineer]

Ok clarification....

People have posted "we got WAR AF"... Does this mean you got the ACTUAL AF2 or you got the -1 used to make AF2+1?

Sorry, dumb question, I just never really saw a clear post as to which it was.

[Faranim]

We got 2 AF2 and around 30 coins with just 1 hour spent and no information whatsoever on the zone. We did the entire run without subjobs.

The more people learn, the more we'll be able to do. When dynamis first came out nobody knew where the time stones where, what popped what, etc. Over time people will learn what to pull, what not to pull, how to get time extensions, where the bosses are, etc.

[Nuriko]

We just attempted this. For us the ??? for subjobs was not in the J-5 area unless you're supposed to kill something to pop it. We had people searching the entire zone for it and didn't find it actually.

In the last 5 minutes we made an attempt on Apocolyptic Beast. It used Chainspell and casted about 7 different enfeebles including Sleepga and Breakga. It also used Perfect Dodge. Other spells included Death and Thundaga III. Very high magic resist from BLMs, SMN damage seemed to be ok but I didn't see with what. There are about 6-7 other dragons in the zone, so our theory at the moment might be that it's similar to DL where you kill all the lesser dragons to weaken the big one.

In it now with my ls. Don't need X cleared, you get sj back by going to the bard statue place thing.

we pulled 1 statue causing a billion quadavs to pop. we got owned in the face lol.

The bard song rune? Or did you find it at the stone monument for Crawler's Nest map quest?

[geno]

the ??? defenitely arent in one static place. We found the ??? for buburimu in a different place then many ppl have listed - we found it near the zone to bibiki bay area. we killed tons of mobs, and 2 dragons, and only got 15 coins and no AF2. We had subjobs almost the entire time, and cleared a bunch of statues (and their mob counterparts) at: northwest of mhaura, near the outpost, and AT the outpost. No time extensions found.

[Fatman]

We just did Bubu and didnt find the ??? until we had 3 minutes left...

The ??? was also on the second beach on the way too Bibiki Bay

all we got were DRK hands

[Faranim]

I wasn't able to go tonight with my LS due to RL obligations, but I was told that they found the subjob ??? at the lighthouse (east of where you start). It seems there are multiple areas it can be found.

[Magicker]

Did this the other day, here's a small photo gallery of some areas I haven't seen described before:

First, we went west, to the beach. Somewhere along the way, someone found a ??? for our subjobs, not sure if it was on the beach, on the second beach, on the way to the beach, etc, but by the time we made it to the beach, we all had our subjobs back. Roaming around on the first beach we found Stollenwurm:

He didn't hit very hard, but seemed to have quite a bit of HP, liked to spam graviga.

Then, we went west, to the Yagudo stones that were on the map previously posted. We got three clean pulls from stones that were right in the middle of J-8, 2 yags per outside stone, a mnk and a sam each. The middle stone popped... I want to say 4 yags and an NM, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Then we got a huge link from the stones in J-9:

After train reset and we reraised, we were able to take it out, netting us a bst AF2 body.

Then we found another dragon somewhere, I was resting at camp, so I don't know exactly where it came from:

This dude was nasty, he spammed poison breath that did 50 hp/tick poison, and was hitting people for several hundred dmg, but seemed to have lower HP than the first dragon, and we took him out.

We then moved north, and pulled some quadavs. I'm not sure exactly which stones were pulled, but here's the end result:

We only had 10 minutes left in the run, so I ditched the run, and went exploring. There were no mobs on the onzozo beach, nor anywhere along the top half of the map, until I got further west, into the mountains. At the turnoff south to go to bibiki, there was this setup:

Some stones were moving around, I didn't get a solid idea of the pathing because I noticed something moving off to my left...

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/6672/stihi6gp.th.jpg

Apparently during my adventure they'd found another mob, I'm guessing another dragon, named Aitvaras. They killed it, but I wasn't there, so I don't know special attacks or fight info for it. Stihi, however, was roaming around in the mountains, I thought I aggrod him for a second, but he turned and walked away. Large roaming area, he came from nowhere and went up into the mountain and away to the north.

I proceeded west, and just before the outpost, came across another set of statues:

Again, some were moving, some were stationary, but we were almost out of time and I wanted to explore the rest of the area, so I moved on, to find a couple statues at the outpost itself:

If I remember correctly, none of the stones AT the outpost were moving. Then I went west to see what's at the tahrongi zone, but there was a large rock in the way, and our run ended there.

At some point towards the end we also had a Cleric's Cap drop, but the killer (for me) was that with all the mobs we killed, we only had 10 single currency, one exp page, and the 2 AF2s drop, and NO mob dropped more than one item.

Not sure if I'm impressed by this zone yet, but I'm sure it'll get better as people figure out more solid strategies for it.

scouts braccae

[BRP]

Interesting ;o.

Did it drop anything?

[savageboy]

koga kyahan

[geno]

pld gloves-1 also.. off of some nightmare cockatrices

[Demetrios]

Did you guys kill the 10 other dragons before engaging or just went straight for him?

[geno]

killed the other dragons, tho i have no idea what it did, he still used all the two hours. maybe if someone who has fought him BEFORE killing dragons could tell us about his behaviour, we can check if there are any differences.

[Demosthenes11]

Would make sense AF drops are by level, since there are only 3 new areas

[worldbfree]

We killed about 3 regular dragons and then took on AB. We didn't have subs or know what to expect because this was like a day after the patch. We got manhandled.

I have a video but it is on filefront so I don't know how useful posting it will be lol. http://files.filefront.com/Bubuwmv/;.../fileinfo.html

to Geno, was it stunnable? I dont' recall any of them sticking, maybe my chat filters were screwed up. I really don't see any other way to kill it unless you kite it around with nins or /nins and wait for all its 2hrs to be used. (which wasn't possible because of no subjob at the time)

[savageboy]

100% resist on stuns from all i seen...i kited it about 10 min to see if it would use up all its 2 hrs....but he just did them all again =)

[Sykes]

The regular dragons each have a single ability that they spam endlessly over and over again. We killed two dragons, which had the following abilities:

Tarasca - Heavy Stomp - high damage AoE with Paralyze added effect
Stihi - Flame Breath - directional fire damage

What we found is that Apocalypse Beast still did these abilities, but they had no effect or did no damage.

We are theorizing that what beastmen NMs that you kill along the way will affect what 2-hours he will use. We killed ...

Gosspix Blabberlips - RDM
Woodnix Shrillwhistle - BST
Shamblix Rottenheart - DRK

... and we never saw AB use Chainspell, Familiar (or Charm), Blood Weapon, or Perfect Dodge. We're not positive about Chainspell or Perfect Dodge, but we are fairly certain about him never using Blood Weapon or Familiar (or Charm). Did anyone observe him using these? (Blood Weapon especially)
