Dynamis - Beaucedine Question

**NynJa** · 2006-09-26 11:30

I've never seen the gob stat, so I cant comment on that. I've tried pulling the yagudo one once...and my first and only attempt lead to a big fuckin link.

Orc and Quadav stats are ridiculously easy to pull, so easy its almost like you actually have to go out of your way to link em.

Wafik's comment got me thinking about another thought that I had, does anyone find certain areas in Beaucidine drop AF more then others?
On our runs we typically see an AF drop at the 1st ramp you come to (ramp heading upwards) at the bottom of that ramp where all the mobs (spawn the damn crows) are I would guess about 50-60% of the time will find a piece of AF from those mobs.

Anyone find that specific areas in beaucidine are more likely to drop AF then others?

You've probably pulled the Goblin Statue and didn't even realize it lol. It's not HUGE like the rest of them. He's right by Quiebitiel (the Dagger attesation NM) in the corner. He pops that set of NMs which all have related genitalia jokes (Trufflesniff, Chubbychin, Rubbertendon, and Jumbolobes)

Yup. We attempted to get the horn attestation and afterwards had 20min left to farm. We started picking at the group and didnt even relize what we were killing until he walked by a normal statue. Was fairly east to pick off orbiting statues and then kill him.

Every time we have killed all the Pukis it was after we actually killed Angra. Trained the dragons, killed Angra, then fought the dragons as they came back.

Instead of starting a new topic I'm going to ask my question here seeing as it relates to Dynamis-Beaudecine...

Do the Hydras have a better drop rate than the rest of the normal mobs in this zone? Is there any reason to focus on clearing the Hydra area other than for the two 15 minute time extensions?

**Eternus** · 2006-09-28 11:04

I have never noticed an increase in drops off of Hydras. We did it for time extensions only. Well and to pull for attestation NMs (well we train those Hydras).

Once we did a zerg rush to the Nue eye tower, as in we killed every eye and hydra from the beggining all the way to Nue eye, and got 1 AF2 from them, anytime we kill them we get similar shitty results. Normal beastmen are easier to kill.

Hydra are kinda fun though, I always pull the first eye at least for my LS just to get it out of their system, but it's a waste of time and i'd rather be fighting the goblin golem.

**divisortheory** · 2006-09-28 11:23

If you kill every other mob in the zone, do hydra. Otherwise you're wasting your time. If you have enough people, send 30 into the Hydras to start clearing towards the Xarcabard TE, and have everyone else focus on clearing the rest of the beastmen.

**Selene** · 2006-09-29 07:34

One more question...

There are two 15 minute time extensions on the Hydra area. There's supposed to be one on the way to the Xarcabard zone. However when my ls was there, I focused on reaching it but when we reached where it was supposed to be, it wasn't there. How do you trigger the spawn of this time extension?

**tyraravenlocke** · 2006-09-29 09:32

There is a grouping of eyes to the south of the passage to Xarcabard.

One of these eyes will pop the TE mob when killed.

The can be pulled singly (contrary to popular belief), with practice by pulling along the (eastern?) cliff wall.

Or you can just pull them in groups of 2-3 and kite them around the top while killing them off, which is fairly easy assuming your puller has strider's or w/e.

A couple weeks ago my LS farmed Beaucedine tooth and nail. We cleared all the beastmen for TE purposes then ran back up to the Hydras to try and get the Xarc TE at the end. We only cleared those 6 eyes that block you from the TE and the 4-5 eyes to the south-east and we managed 4 AF drops. I think it was SMN, MNK, MNK, WAR or something along those lines

Oh, dear leader, you make it sound so simple...

It's actually a little more complicated than Tyra's making it sound, and I'm still not convinced you can get all the eyes without any links.

As far as I can remember, this map shows the positions of all the eyes in that area correctly. If it's not perfect, it's certainly not far off.

We normally clear off the two eyes from the south cliff above the ramp, then camp over there.

It is very easy to pull the five western-most eyes individually, each spawning 1-2 Hydra. With those five all cleared out, you also have a nice big kiting area, should you need it. Now, this is where it gets messy.

I'm yet to see pulling the southwest eye not result in a link, when it's the first eye pulled.

The northwest eye can almost always be pulled without a link, but is best pulled by shooting it from the north, and running off along the cliff wall until you're very far from the other eyes. Once you're clear, you can cut back and return to camp. Be wary of the eye itself, or anything it pops, casting a spell, waiting too long, and choosing a strange path to get to you that could cause a link.

It's also possible to pull the northeastern eye in this manner, by hugging the cliff, shooting from the northwest of the eye itself, then pulling everything along the cliff with you. Again, be careful with spell casters.

The eye to the south of that one can be pulled, but it is much more prone to causing a link than either of the first two. I think I've managed to get it by itself only once, by attempting to keep a careful watch on where the moving eyes were.

I haven't managed to get the remaining eyes without a link yet, and they spawn a good few mobs, including at least one summoner. I'm sure in theory it's possible, but it's not like chances to do it are all that common...

Either way, killing one of the eyes will most definitely make the TE eye (which pops a whm and smn when you aggro it) appear on the little raised area southeast of the passage to Xarcabard.
