Let's Examine Dynamis-Tavnazia (Possible spoilers?)

[Sekkite]

So about 10 currency from 11 mobs. Obviously the numbers will get larger as people figure out what to do and kill a larger number of mobs.

Did you have a thief in each party? Or any thieves at all? From what I noticed in doing dynamis, no thief = no drops. They do have a great effect on coins, some effect on AF2's,but not to the extent they have on coins.

Does it really matter? 10 coins from 18 people's effort is a joke. Even if 2 groups went and each got twice as many coins, at 40 coins, twice a week so 80 coins per week... you'd be able to get 1 of those 36 people a relic in 50 years! Woo woo.

Sadly I have no faith in SE anymore and so I have no doubt that the next expansion won't offer good end-game content, have suitable equipment upgrades that will replace dynamis and sufficient content to keep us occupied without having to fall back on the dead horse that is dynamis that we've been farming for longer than any end-game content has ever been farmed in any MMORPG for lack of any suitable alternative.

I think people realize the drop rate on coins from new Dynamis zones isn't the way to upgrade a relic and would rather farm cities. With that said, I think they go into new zones for more than just coins.

In my eyes, your opinion is null and void.

Where's the Captain Obvious card?

I hope this ghettofied Captain Obvious satisfies you, Archduke of PhailSoldiers.

That picture fails. This is a real captain obvious:

They go into the new zones because they're tired of doing the same fucking Dynamis for a year.

I'd like some of the AF-2 but I know I'm never going to fucking have it, even in a dedicated and successful dynamis linkshell. They've fucked up the new dynamis, thats pretty obvious. If you want to link some retarded picture about it, go ahead.

lol Where do I start to argue his point?

You know, maybe there are a few people out there trying to do this just for the sake of beating it. (And if they're lucky get something in the process). Does everything have to have a massive equipment upgrade in order for you to do it or find it a fun / engaging challenge? Although I feel that SE needs to understand what the hell risk vs reward means, the new dynamises are far from being a bore. The existing areas may be better for farming coins but hey, its a nice change of pace. (Sadly not much of a change in scenery though as I said before they should have made original areas for dynamis)

That is great, but what happens when you beat it once? If something is challenging you do it once say "Well, that was a nice challenge", then you never do it again. Why? Because you could do better things with your time that will improve your character. The new Dynamis zones my not be a bore, but will you go back week after week knowing that you are going to waste a million (2 million for Dynamis- Tavnazia for both groups) fil and wind up with less than a quarter of the stuff that you would get on a Zilart Dynamis?

[supaswimma]

maybe se is so dumb, they made it 18 man cap to get rid of gil still?

that or they have way too much anal sex with each other

[Priran]

that or they have way too much anal sex with each other

this is the overwhelmingly likely reason

Yes. Where you stick your thieves is the difference between leaving a zone with 50 coins, and 0-3 AF2, or leaving the zone with 100+ coins, and at least 5 AF2. Also obviously the amount of mobs killed counts too, im sure they hardly killed any mobs.

At least that's what I've noticed in zilart dynamis zones.

Its pretty obvious Hydra gear drops from here. Four sets, four diabolos, I think thats a big clue. I don't get why currency matters so much. You can't spend all day saying much Relic items suck, then go and say "OMG we need more currency for our relic items!". If anything, complain about the Relic armor drop rate, which is Northlands-ish. Anyway, stop bitching, and someone find out how Hydra gear drops. Flux, just stop speaking altogether.

Might not be the right topic, but I don't feel like starting another or bumping an old one. My question is, what's the average currency drop on the new dynamis boss (valk, bubu, qufim)?

5

[Kaylia]

You mean 5x100?

[MisterBob]

He means: "I felt like typing a random number"

The average drop rate is low. Usually 70-ish coins, and sometimes a 100 coin.

[Kaylia]

Is that thing a fluke then? Or a new result from the patch

That would be pretty cool if it's post patch goodness

[Kaylia]

It's what my LS got yesterday from Buburimu. I quit a few months ago, so it's hard to comment, but if it's the new drop rate, there is now a good reason to beat those dynamis.
