Nyzul Isle Initial Findings

[Osede]

seems like they fixed the lamp order issue in nyzul. Did nyzul yesterday, we found that you aren't require to get either the first or last lamp order to be correct before you can proceed to get the 2nd,3rd and 4th lamp's order.


For example, in 4 lamps, our first lamp sequence showed first and 3rd is correct. If before the update, it will only show the first lamp is correct order.

best run we had was fafnir with Refresh effect, so with brd ballad + RDM refresh + refresh effect our mages had like 11mp/tick

And one time i was PLD and we got adamantoise no white magic.

So we kited killed like that and to heal me the brd spammed me paeons


good times

We got Cerb with White Magic restricted, had no DNC or BLU. Paeons didn't quite cut it

It's always been like that, sometimes it shows any lamp that's in the right order, sometimes it only shows if the first/previous one was correct.

Went yesterday, nothing has changed. This also includes ridill/dring/hq craft results.

Which mobs irritate the crap out of you in Nyzul? I nominate Gem-Heister as the most irritating to date but we're not yet farming the floor 60+ bosses cos we're spamming lower levels for feet and then legs. Him and STR down last night, plus some irritating all mobs floors last night...

[Pninja]

Which mobs irritate the crap out of you in Nyzul?

- Petra-spamming Dahaks (no WHM in my group, only cleric's drinks)
- Any of the leaders of the Samiriri frog family, especially the Water Bomber
- Psycheflayer enemies floors + the Psycheflayer leader

[Kaylia]

We tried floor 1 to 5 yesterday
5 puddings (gears detection), soulflayers (dex penalty), 5 chariots (had soulflayer around), lamps order (5 in huge floor).....

After doing 10 floor on our last runs (25-35), losing 1-5 is depressing.

Dahaks are just annoying period. We don't have issues with flayers because we take a WHM but I'm with you on the frogs...

Frogs are horrible. I find chariots annoying usually because there are a bunch of them scattered throughout the map, and that instantly becomes a 10-min floor. As far as normal NM's go, Capricious Cassie can end a run pretty quickly via sleep spam and making a floor take 10-20 min.

[solsovly]

I always forget, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring poison pots just for Cassie in case you get her on a Kill All floor. Making your melees bring clerics is always recommended anyways and makes Cassie much more safe.

Yesterday went into nyzul with 3 SAM/WAR. Sounds quite nice in theory - which it is...! but everyone wanted their overwhelm bonus resulting in everyone standing in the front - making frontal AOE attack sponge so many mp


Cleared 45-60 no problem tho - plus Hydra got raped a new one

[Eldelphia]

Excuse the bump but it looked like the best place to put my question...
We've just hit floor 61 and did our first ToAU boss (Cerb) last night. It went fine but we know we need to reshuffle our jobs a bit and wondered if anyone could give us their opinion.

Right now we go with...

BLU/NIN
WHM/SCH
BRD/WHM
WAR/NIN
WAR/NIN
BLM/WHM

We're considering ditching the BLM. It was nice when initially hit slimes/custards etc but now it feels too slow. Would leave us without stun and sleepga though.

Jobs available

[Me] WHM/, SCH/, BLM/, BRD, SMN
#2 WHM/, BLU, SMN, BLM
#3 NIN, WAR, RNG, BRD
#4 NIN, BLU, DRK (semi retired)
#5 SAM, BLM, RDM
#6 WAR, PLD, RNG

Both of us with WHM have /SCH.

Just wondered what you'd do? The other person with WHM is levelling THF fairly fast, as soon as he can he'll prolly bring that to Nyzul but it's 66 right now.

[Deeke]

In th order listed:

WHM/SCH
BLU (and/or THF eventually on farms)
BRD
DRK (how semi is semi..?)
SAM
PLD/NIN


or change the DRK and PLD to NIN and WAR respectively/

[Doyler]

The DRK sucks dont ever take him

[Rhealana]

PLD is more or less pointless in Nyzul. The one thing you ever need a 'tank' for is the boss, and Fanatics is all you really should ever need anyways.

WAR/NINs are quite versatile in Nyzul.

Consider changing WHM/SCH to SCH/RDM and making the BLM come as WAR.

[Deeke]

PLD is more or less pointless in Nyzul..

Blegh, I can understand why some people think this, but -- assuming the PLD in question knows the arse end from the elbow end of a decent DD build -- I'd have to disagree with 'pointless'.

I've started taking poison pots - speeds up some floors when mobs are spamming sleepga.

By the way, is anyone else seeing odd droprates on the weapons since update? We've had at least 6 Werebusters in the last 10 days in our static (9 tags total).

I know it's meant to be random, but if this trend continues it's going to break the statistics. Really very weird.

I agree! I've been on several runs, and have gotten tons of weapons to drop, but the variety is very VERY unusual. Here's the rough breakdown:

2x BLU
5x PLD
1x BRD
1x SCH
2x MNK
4x DRK
1x RNG

The odd thing was, the drops pretty much all fell in the same 4 runs.

Not a hint of any of the other ones, but my friends are going on runs and seeing like.... 4 WAR and 5 PUP in a single run. It seems very much at odds with "random."

At least I got my Spelunker's Hat!
