Nyzul Lamps

[Lilswitche]

My rule of thumb, if it's a lamp floor I'll have my group start killing mobs while I search for a lamp, because if it's Same-Time lamps, most of the time you'll need to clear the floor anyways.quote]

I think with studious use of Sneak and Invis, you generally can get away with not killing a single mob on Same Time lamps.

Sometimes on Same-Time lamp floors you are required to clear mobs anyways. If you try and light them (given the requirement is indeed active on that floor) without having killed them, it will give you a msg saying there was a requirement that was not yet met. Then you end up turning around and killing the mobs anyways and relighting the lamps. I would rather chalk up an extra 2-3 minutes on a same-time lamp floor, than risk having a bust because we weren't thinking ahead of the game.

Note: The Runic Portal won't tell you this, it will still say "Activate all lamps".

I know what message you're talking about, "All lamps on this floor are activated, but some other action appears to be necessary in order to activate the Rune of Transfer," and I've seen it sometimes, but it doesn't mean what you say it means. It seems to happen in a delay after you've met the objective before it unlocks the Rune of Transfer, or maybe someone needs to hit the lamp again to confirm, but you never have to kill all the mobs on a Lamp floor. I feel confident in having done enough Nyzuls--and enough lamp floors--to say this with authority.

I've done them enough to come accross this a few times. Believe me, the first time I saw it, the first thing I did was have my group re-attempt to light them at the same time, after several repeats, to no avail. Killing the few mobs that were left allowed us to redo the lamps and the floor cleared. It was giving this msg to everyone, even without having to click the lamps after they were all lit -- the very moment all of the lamps were up.

The only conclusion I can come to was it was either glitched, or it was sometimes a requirement pre-update when they made Nyzul much easier. After this first 6-7 times I had come accross this, whenever hitting same timer's, I would just start killing all the mobs prior to lighting.

We got this message last night on FL76. We did get aggro from 1 mob which the rdm slept (When i said clear the lamp rooms in my above post I meant specific order only, register and same time its not necessary). We activated all the lamps and said something else needed to be done. We killed the 1 mob that aggroed us, relit the lamps, and we were good to go. Was annoying because we didnt know why we couldnt go up once the lamps were lit, but didnt stop us going from 76-83 with an askar body :D lolkhimaira
