Nyzul Isle Initial Findings

[Zragnarok]

Any update on how much coin needed for each floor to re-enter ? So far we got 500 for floor 5, 550 for floor 10 but I read some ppl are already to floor 20. Any idea ?

[Jonel]

cleared five floors, saved. unless you keep good track of where you're going, you may end up backtracking to find mobs.

objective: elimiate all enemies, avoid all gears. one of us aggroed a gear and reduced our time limit by 1 minute.

encountered multiple nm's but nothing good dropped.

objective: eliminate specified enemies. floor was undead theme including puks and one rampart. eliminated rampart before puk, no clearance notice. eliminated puk, got clearance.

objective: activate all lamps in a specific order:

Okay.. so after 4 frustrating runs of Assault Nyzul Isle here is one tip that I can give you regarding the "You must activate all of the Lamps: In a specific order"

Side Note: on these boards, it is HIGHLY advisable to kill all mobs around the lamps as you will need some time to get teh order correct, and trying to kill or sleep the mobs solo will only slow you down even more.

First thing first, there will always be 5 Lamps. You will have to touch them in a given order, and even if you hit them and have the incorrect order, they will TEMPORARILY light. You will know that you have touched yours in the correct order when your light stays ON.

Example from when we did ours:

Jonel touches #1
Stamos touches #2
Jiriki touches #3
Pelican touches #4
Bladefury touches #5

All lights light up, and then 4/5 go back out. Bladefury's light is the only light that continues to stay on. That means in every sequence, Bladefury must be #5. You also now know that Jonel is not #1, Stamos is not #2, Pelican is not #3 and Jiriki is not #4.

It's almost a good idea to keep a peice of paper around to take note of this so that you do not confuse who is going when etc....

Next run you do in this order:

Stamos #1
Pelican #2
Jiriki #3
Jonel #4
Bladefury #5

This time Stamos, Jonel, and Bladefury's lights all stay lit leaving just Pelican and Jiriki in the incorrect positiions. You can then conclude that you just need to swap Jiriki and Pelican and the correct order would be:

Stamos #1
Jiriki #2
Pelican #3
Jonel #4
Bladefury #5

And poof, this will unlock the rune of Release.

Again, keep in mind that just because the lights turn on, does not mean that you hit the sequence correctly, it just means that all 5 lights have been lit. Make sure that you are communicating which order everyone should be going, who has gone, and when you have gone. All it takes is one person being out of order or pressing the button w/o telling everyone to make you start all over. Each sequence will take you about 1 min to complete so the less sequences you have to guess, the better. If no one's lights stay on after the check, make sure that no one goes in the same order they did the last time. Realistically it should only take you like 5 tries tops to get it correct if everyone shifts the orders around because you are bound to get someone correct by the 3rd try pretty much.

Good luck! lol

Ok so it's working kind of the same way as the Mastermind game... You make an order ( let's say, P1 for player 1, etc... ) like this :

P1 > P2 > P3 > P4 > P5

In Mastermind, when you have the correct order and color at one spot( the color factor here means nothing lol, let's say we have all the right colors so forget that factor ) you get a green thing and when it's not right, you get a red thing ( and you get nothing if the color is wrong, but here again, color means nothing ). So let's say P1 and P3 are at the right spot in the order, you would get :

Green > Red > Green > Red > Red

So now, you know you only have to move P2, P4 and P5 in the order, because they other 2 are in the right order. It lower the possible combinations. And here, what tells you if you get a green or red thing is if you lamp stays lighten or not.

Lamp stays ON = Green
Lamp turn OFF = Red

I hope this is what you tried to explain Jonel and i'm not mistaken

yey mastermind

[Rentwokay]

Did Gyre-Carlin leave behind ??? Gloves or ??? Bow?

(Neither of those items have an AH history on Seraph. Can't imagine why. I mean... Diremite NM... middle of Pso'Xja... capped area... Those things should be as common as Earth Crystals, right?)

[Jonel]

it dropped a ??? bow. tunred out to be something really lame. lol.

[Kunami]

yeah gyre dropped bow for us too. turns out Rikonodo is worth 2mil on lakshmi. ours turned into a piece of shit tho.

yep, that's the formula. you win. ^^

Gyre also dropped a ??? bow for my group. Did not appraise to anything worthwhile.

[Varg]

gyre gave us a longbow - went well with lizzy's kyahan prize.

[Pergo]

my groups dropped bow too

[Clavat]

Is there any difference between the different enemy leaders that are of the same species? Okay, chariots are obvious, the 8 custards seem to correlate to the 8 elements, and the 3 Qiqirn might each have RNG/THF/BLM. But what about the 3 imps/soulflayers/Poroggos?

[Alexei]

* SPECULATION *
It could always be disproved later on as more item drops are discovered, but I'm starting to see a pattern to the new armor drops:

Lv. 20 Adamantoise - Denali gamashes (confirmed with SS - link)
Lv. 20 Fafnir - Askar Gambieras (word of mouth from JP PLD)
Lv. 20 Behemoth - Goliard Clogs probably?

Lv. 40 Adamantoise - legs?
Lv. 40 Fafnir - Denali kecks (confirmed with SS - link)
Lv. 40 Behemoth - legs?

Lv. 60 - head armor?
Lv. 80 - hands armor?
Lv. 100 - body armor?

[Shadida]

Looks like someone got Denali Gamashes off Behemoth 20F, in the other thread.

Just dropped off of 20th floor Behemoth. The MNK does have BLU leveled, so he'll be able to get the most use out of those.

If this is true, then it means that each NM doesn't drop a specific set, but it still supports the theory that each different floor drops a different slot.

[TT]

those boots are pretty sweet for NIN weapon skill macro.


hydra, cerb, and khim still not found but in the .dats, those will be some interesting battles as they prolly on the higher of floors and drop the body pieces maybe.

I quote my question in hopes that someone could answer it somehow. >_> Anyway, another question: Are 1 type of gears (single or triple) used for one secondary objective (avoid detection or do not destroy)? For example, triple gears are used for avoiding detection and single gears are used for not destroying.
