4x 100 pieces From Dyna-Qufim MB

[Khamsin]

We got a Hydra Beret off a Nightmare Taurus in Dynamis-Tavnazia a while back.

As for the four 100 pieces dropping from the megaboss, is this the first legit account of this happening? Since I think people determined the Apocalyptic Beast one was photoshopped.

Or has this happened before?

The hydra gear looks pretty good. The haste and crit items could be very nice if they actually lasted around 2 hours. Otherwise there not very useful

The +enmity -hp gear looks good for pld's when they exp, but doesn't seem to have any place on hnm that your taking non trivial damage from. +9 enmity is great only under the condition your alive.

Compared to a koenig cuirass for "normal" tanking the haubert definitely loses, the HP def and VIT loss would easily kill the enmity advantage by getting you beat up harder. However that's not really what its competing against, Valor Surcoat is a far more apt comparison, especially for PLD/NIN. In that case the def loss is smaller, the HP loss is smaller and those stats matter a lot less, while an extra 5 enmity would be pretty significant from what I understand.

All hydra gear drops from the Nightmare Taurus which pops on Prishe's level, from eyes with Kindred mobs, that drop NQ Xarcabard AF2, also often desired. Each eye pops 2-3 Kindred and 1 Taurus that we've done and there is 15+15+30+30min that is known in the zone. You can stick to Xarcabard Af2 and Hydra Gear on this top level; we've only netted a hydra haubert so far. CoP dynamis isn't spectacular, but it's not that bad when you figure it out. Dynamis Xarcabard is occupied like 80% of the time on my server, so this looks even slightly better.

The first AB one wasn't photoshopped... it was assumed so because A) JPG makes a fuzz around detailed points of pictures, and people assume this is because of photo editing, and B) people are plain stupid and think everything is photoshopped.

That sounds pretty good...you can basically multiply drops by two since you can split your group and do it twice.

Your sig is obvious photoshop and you are shitting him.
For shame.

Pandy is lucky in terms of Dynamis competiton... there isn't really a whole lot of it, among the NA shells. There's maybe 3-4 major shells that people tend to do dynamis with that have access to northlands, and of those, only one kills DL, farms attestations and fragments, and has been actively pursuing Dynamis-Tavnazia (though no win yet, we did kill one Diabolos and got a title, but we had popped two).

We sometimes have to change city plans, often due to small groups or JP, but hardly ever do we have to change northlands schedules even when we do a month straight of it. And we've never had to change a CoP dynamis schedule.

It's pretty easy to coordinate on my server.

Looking at all the Hydra gear for the enmity set, it's not as bad as you guys made it seem. The bodypeice which is not bad, is HP-20. 20 is not that much unless you have 1000 HP max, really if you're @ 1300-1500 HP, 20 is only going to save you if you are in one of those rare situations where you survive with 3 HP on a mob.

Wearing more than 1 peice at ones is silly though.

If I can get My LS through to dynamis Tavnazia, I'll probably start an AU night time midweek static allience for it. my LS can rape hydras right now , the only problem is lack of sleep, but since the eyes/hydras are reportedly sleepable in this version, I dont see a big problem

cept for that whole "You do not have a SJ" crap. And the 1-2h time limit.

[Garret]

Even though the piece is only say -20hp though it is also in a slot where comparable pieces have a decent HP bonus. So wearing it feels a lot more like -40, or if you wore m. body would feel like -80. The stacked loss effect is what gets to me more.

[Lordwafik]

ah makes more sense when you put it that way.

Had the hydra gear with enchantments been permanent, instead of enchantments, they'd own. Esp the hands, 15 acc/racc? please!

Depending on the length it could still be good, See: High Breath Mantle

I must admit though, when I was a mage onry, hydra gear looked like ass (cept for the Hydra Doublet which looks frikking awesome for rdm/nin, the only evasion gear with such a high MP bonus). But the melee set is very attractive. However the downfall is the entire set is just enchantment (sd;hfasd)
The mage set seems like it was made for nothing but rdm/nin or brd/nin, all that acc/eva.
Fellow gear can blow me.

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

lol the fellowship gear has to be a joke. Imagine...

Dev 1: Hey guys, we need a few more pieces of gear for dynamis-tavnazia... what should we add?
Dev 2: I'm thinking we should add some strong gear to outclass abj gear. Maybe a ridill-like polearm and scythe. Would incentivise the community to do the other CoP dynamis to gain access.
Dev 3: Interesting idea...
Dev 1: I don't know... sure camping kings sucks but we don't want it to become USELESS.
Dev 3: How about this, what have we added thats pretty fun that everybody likes?
Dev 2: You mean fellowship...?
Dev 3: Yep. Now how about we make new armor for this new dynamis that improves that.
Dev 1: Now that got my attention.
Dev 2: ...are you serious?
Dev 3: Yeah! You know all those lvl 75 guys love playing with their NPC. Lets see... maybe on the body we can give auto-refresh for NPC.
Dev 1: Ummmm no. That would be way too powerful. I'm thinking like hp str and vit bonuses.
Dev 2: Uh... I guess maybe like str+10 vit+10 hp+100... This shit is hard to farm and NPCs arent extremely useful as tanks anyways...
Dev 1: Are you serious? Before long you'll have NPCs tanking HNMs! That's absolute madness. We don't want them to actually be that useful.
Dev 3: Err maybe +2 to stats and hp+20ish
Dev 1: See thats what I'm talking about.
Dev 2: So you want level 75 players to have to do a very hard dynamis that has extensions that are hard to get and give them gear that can't actually be useful for anything?!?!
Dev 3: Well when you put it that way...
Dev 1: Yes
Dev 2: Fuck this, I'm working on assault.

OOOOoooooo One other thing that interested me, did anyone else remember old patch notes which came in the same as the dyna tav patch, one was a Gungir (WAR/SAM/DRG/PLD) one was an excalibur (WAR/PLD/RDM/DRK) , one was Mjollonr but with higher dmg.

Anyone else have any hint of them or seen them? Possible uber rare temp item drop like SS#1 in this topic? Uber weapon that gets stripped from you when you leave dynamis , would be cool

Eyes don't sleep

Slashwrist Hydras do I hope?

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

link to what the fuck you're talking about?

edit: data mined... found what I think you're talking about. I think they're just old unused items.

They're not old unused items, they didn't exist pre Dynamis Tavnazia, in came the patch with the weapons, and they have not been seen. I'm 100% sure they are somewhere in dynamis tav, heck I wouldnt be surprised if it was a random HQ version at the end.

They didn't change the dats for the first 4 weapons, only the relic, which leads me to beleive they are dropped.
