Dynamis-Xarcabard Clear

[Kurp]

I don't know the Xarc map well, I just follow the crowd there. But, what are all those dots you didn't pull? Just from looking at the map, it doesn't look like a zone clear, unless it's clearing everything on a set path I'm unaware of. I'm not calling anyone out because I lack knowledge, but just curious.

[divisortheory]

We didnt' zone clear. All I said was we cleared all the circled pulls with 36 people. If you were familiar with Dynamis-Xarcabard you'd know that's a TON of mobs. So I just put two and two together and started trying to come up with the most efficient way to try and clear the whole zone with 64 people.

I think if you were to split up the alliances you would have to coordinate with your pullers on who is going to be where so you don't cross-pull on each other's alliances. IMO your best bet would probably be to send one alliance of whatever you decide to split the group into to the demon wall of death to start working on that area while your second alliance takes care of the first 3 TE's and heads to NMs to start working on that TE. 18 people could easily take care of NMs in a timely manner. The demon wall can easily be done in 3-4 pulls barring no links.

The best I've done in Xarc as far as farming goes is clearing the NMs, the demon wall, then worked our way around the large butte back up towards the NMs "playground" as we call it. Then moved to clear the 4 eyes near Animated Shield and the 4 eyes towards the Animated Claymore. Those eyes are pretty easy kills. Its all rngs, sams, thfs, and either war or mnks if I recall correctly. We've started calling this area the "g-spot" because the same MNK demon has dropped Chapeau and Surcoat in the past 3 raids. He's been good to us :D

As far as the 5 eyes in between Animated Kunai and Animated Horn, one of the first farming raids I lead there resulted in pulling that set....didn't go so well. Pulling one of the outside eye's of the V resulted in linking the whole thing. The pull could be done most likely as DivisorTheory stated taking your alliance up near Animated Kunai.

Has anyone cleared those 4 eyes at the top of that ramp though? I'm curious to see what is in that group as it looks pretty farmable if you can pull it right.

I'll try to pull that one next Xarc we do just for shits and giggles.

If you're talking about the one before animated h2h, well kinda on the way to it, we used to pull it before going to the h2h, that one is full of smns and blms and rngs. I'm not 100% sure if there were blms, I do know we got sleepga'd and fucked in the butt from it, but that could have been an eye casting. Definitely sure about those smns though Garuda's resisted sleep made us all eat an aerial blast.

Damn....kind of makes me want to jump right in and throw some fistacuffs down with them...

Dont think it was mentioned or asked but what were the af + 100 coin drops from all those mobs in Xar? Wondering if its efficient/worth it to just go on a farming run and try to clear the whole zone.

[divisortheory]

Typical farming run where you kill all NMs, get all TEs, and don't wipe will net you about 150 singles. Hundred drop rate is like anywhere else, you might get 0, you might get 3.

We usually have a Ranger EES the first TE pull. Simple as hell that way.

Where is the ranger standing in order to EES this first TE statue? We were going to attempt this last night but were unable to get close enough to the statue without agroing the eye's around it.

[dragoness]

I think this is just a death pull for the RNG..
I've only had to do this once a couple of months ago but I do believe this is done w/ the RNG running ahead and everybody else staying behind till the mobs are back to their spawn area.

[Raineer]

Pretty sure they can save EES and just Barrage it (maybe certainly now after the RNG re-buff)

I saw this done many times with the RNG living, i think it's all about standing in just the right place among the rotating eyes.

He can die if he needs to. EES is instant, he only needs to hit it once and the stone will die.

don't even have to do that, have everyone go past it and start clearing the next pulls and have the rng run back, saves time.

[Bardicrune]

Thanks for clearing it up a bit. Just to make sure I understand correctly, he trys to time the eyes and runs in between them close enough to EES the statue and then runs out. If his timing is wrong and he agro's, it becomes a sac pull and he runs toward the spine near the next TE.

Once again. Thanks for the help. And sorry for the de-rail.

[aers]

yeah.

the way my ls does xarc we skip a lot of the front pulls, have a rng or rdm or someone go back and solo that te while we clear stuff for the eye-tower te.
