Nyzul Isle Initial Findings

[tyraravenlocke]

Got your nm's in viq.

Anyone find new ones tonight?

[presage]

I just finished my second run.

First run we had destroy all mobs for the first three levels. We fought Jaggedy-Ear Jack and Tom Tit Tat on floor 2, but no good items. Floor 3 we fought Cactaur Cantaur (sp) with no good item as well. On floor 4 our mission was to eliminate specific enemy (or type of enemy, forget which, sorry) but we did not finish and were warped out.

The second run we had kill the enemy leader for the first floor and fought Cinnamon Custard. Floor 2 was kill certain enemy types, defeated Smothered Schmit but all we got was a silver ring. Floor 3 was with the treasure chests, so we skipped that to floor 4. We were told to kill another enemy type while avoiding archaic gears. We completed the floor with a minute left and decided to quit there. We earned 560 Tokens for that round.

[tyraravenlocke]

Just got killed specified enemies.

And yeah.. 6x Soulflayers is not for the fucking win.

Heh.. but still was fun.

Will update more in the morning.

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet or not, but Nyzul counts toward your rank points. I just got my first win there and my Mercenary Assesment message changed.

Seriously, truly, and honestly? You wouldn't kid me about this, would you? If so, that makes it the best news I've heard all week!

[tyraravenlocke]

Okay... I'll put that in.. but I will ask that it gets some further comfirmation.

Also one of the folks I do this with pointed out to me the way that

"Kill specified enemy"

and

"Kill Specified Enemies" most probably works.

Updateing the thread with each, though they will also need further verification.

Racing Chariots (These suck, compared to all the other monsters we have fought)
lolBifrons
Killing Weapons

Archaic ramparts

Mindflayer thing (I'll get the name in a moment)
Bhooots

Ziz
Ominious Weapons (From Rykoshet's pics)
Archaic Gears (These see you they affect your whole party with a pathos.. no matter where they are in the zone, IF the objective states that they must be avoided.)

I just wanted to mention, the one time we did Nyzul thus far, we had an entirely different group of enemies than those listed here. On the 2nd floor we had Marids, Spinners (attercops), Wajaom Tigers and those crawlers that shoot fire breath (I forget the name); all mobs from Wajaom, except Leaping Lizzy was with them. On the 3rd floor we saw a Death Cap and a pot of some kind, both near Gargantua.

edit: the Marid did not spawn any chigoes. Also, it dropped a marid tusk and a marid hair. I don't know if all mobs can drop their regular drops or not, I don't recall seeing anything else, but since marid hair is still 18k on my server I wasn't unhappy with this small bonus drop.

I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet. I thought it might be useful to copy the list of all possible objectives and info regarding objectives from the .dats.

Activate the lamp?

Edit: One other thing, I didn't notice anyone saying yet is that widescan doesn't work inside Nyzul. Assault effect items do however. Sanction regen and refresh also seem to work normally.

Thanks for that list of objectives. I went ahead and created the Wiki entry for this assault, and filled out as many details as I know. I would encourage people to add their findings there as well as here.

[Keltiks]

ok, stupid question time...

For objectives like kill specified enemy or kill enemy leader for example, in an effort to save time, are people using sneak and invis to run around to look for the leader or specific enemy? Or are people just charging through and killing.

Last night we just killed everything and didn't worry about sneak and invis but never made it past floor four because of time.

[Xerlic]

On a run last night, for floor 6 we had "Eliminate specified enemies" which were poroggo gents. We found Cactuar Cantautor which dropped ??? feet. Didn't appraise into Kung Fu Shoes tho. =(

[ninjafox]

So only the first person to click the rune thing can see the objectives? I couldn't see any last night

[Marcin]

Anyone can see the objectives.

[Vhess]

Anyone can see the objectives.

How do you do this? Do you have to click on the rune yourself to read it? I also did not see any objectives when we went through it.

Similarly, I didn't have any idea how the chests worked. I gather it is similar to salvage, but since I had never done salvage, I didn't know that each member can click on the already-opened chests to take out the temp items and that the chest wont disappear until someone takes the item. When someone opened the chest and nothing appeared in the treasure pool, I assumed that it had dropped into their inventory. The members of our team that had done salavge seemed familiar with this sort of thing.

Question that I didn't really find a concrete answer to in the previous posts.

Say you have a static with 6 people.

RunA: 1 person went missing, you beat first 5 floors with 5 people and saved your progress.

So can the person that went missing for the run turn up and goto floor 6 with the others next run? Providing the leader that exited floor6 is here and has suffcient tokens?

Yeah, sneak and invis work for enemies like normal. I suggest you use it, it saved us a lot of time when we realized that this could be done and the ones that needed to be defeated checked out to be ITG.

On a side note, Archaic Gears are true sight. We learned that the hard way when we agroed like about 5 at once and the objective was "Avoid all gears". >.>

Yeah, just click on the rune to see the objectives. Unless he was meaning something else.

[ninjafox]

Oh for some reason I thought it'd be in the mission list

I'll confirm tonight, however I'm almost positive only the leader needs the memory. This is becuase only they pay the tokens.

I'll make sure of this, and update the thread.

The update notes already explain this very clearly.

As long as ONE PERSON has the access levels and enough tokens, they can make the group start on a higher floor. The other party members do not need to have any data, any tokens, or any previous Assault experience to go with them.

The only reasons you aren't allowed to start on a higher floor are:

1. Leader never cleared that high
2. Leader doesn't have enough Tokens to pay the fee

Also, the person who uses the armband (that costs 50 IS and enteres the assault area) doesn't have to be the person who warps the group inside. Whoever chooses which floor to start on will recieve the data.
