    Nyzul Isle Questions

    I'm starting a Nyzul Isle static soon and I have a few questions, I've read a few of the other threads and didn't find the answers to some of my questions.

    - Assuming that everyone uses their tags only for Nyzul Isle, how often should the static meet? and with how many runs per meeting?
    - How many disk holders should there be? does job matter for holder? and should you rotate to keep the holders even?
    - Do most statics farm every floor until everyone has got all the gear they can equip or just move on after a win? Like get everyone their feet gear before moving on.

    Thanks in advance.

    Alot of your questions are dependent on your group. Decide for yourself what works best with everyone.

    - Negotiate with your group. 1 day of 3 tags per week works for us. Not a huge commitment, and people can still pursue Salvage permits and Pahluwan/Yigit armor with their other 4 tags.

    - Two. You can either ratchet them up evenly or use #2 as a backup when #1 runs into token shortages (which is unavoidable). If you can avoid giving one to your sole tank or healer then the warp-out 100F runs will be a little smoother but that's the only time the disc holder's job will matter.

    - Write down everyone's goals. Chances are there will be large demand for body pieces so getting both discs up to 76F may satisfy people more than dwelling on 20F. My group's algorithm is: target the boss that has the largest chance of dropping an item somebody wants. If the group's wish list contains 8 bodies and 2 boots, then it should be clear which boss has the greater chance of gratification.

    Since you won't be doing other Assaults, it's probably a good idea to do maybe 2-3 runs per chance. You can either spam your way to 80 and work on farming lower stuff, or spam boss floors until everyone gets their gear and then move up (i.e. Get to 20, farm feet for everyone, then move to 40, repeat).

    For some people, the Nyzul gear isn't worth it for their job or they have something better (Like Salvage gear or the likes). For me, I really only wanted 2-3 pieces of Nyzul gear, which was Goliard Feet/Body and Askar Body.

    It is a good idea to have two disk holders. The job doesn't matter, but it is recommended that a mage get the second disk for floor 100 purposes. If you don't plan on farming floor 100, then the job won't matter.

    If your members aren't doing Salvage, the best bet would be to meet 2 nights a week and do 3 tags one day, and 4 another. Make sure everyone in your group picks up their extra tag early in the week, though, or you'll only be doing 6 runs per week.

    - How many disk holders should there be? does job matter for holder? and should you rotate to keep the holders even?
    2. Best bet is to make your disc holder(s) a back-line job that doesn't need to spend tokens on meds like Body Boost/Fanatic's Drinks for boss floors. BRD is a good choice.

    - Do most statics farm every floor until everyone has got all the gear they can equip or just move on after a win? Like get everyone their feet gear before moving on.
    That's up to your group. Some prefer to stay on a floor until everyone has all of the gear they want from it before going up, and others prioritize floors or items according to how much demand there is for each one, and go back to farm lower floors after the most in-demand pieces are obtained. My group does the latter; we've done a lot of 20, 80, and 100 and are just getting into farming 40 and 60 for the lower-demand legs and hands now.

    Re: Nyzul Isle Questions

    If your group isn't doing Salvage and/or need points for assault items then i suggest 3 tags on 1 day and 4 on another. 2 Disc Holders is a good idea, especially for floor 100. As for items. Make a priority list and work from there. My group has been working on Body for the past 2 months, Need 2 more Askar then we're done for floor 80 forever. Fricken can't get these last 2. Been getting so many Saio's and we give them away so they won't get lost cuz all our mages have them and our leader has no mage job. Lol.

    my group goes when everyone has 4 tags. we have been spamming floor 20 (TH4 is a must if you wan't to get items in a resonable amoun of time) we only have 1 disc holder atm as long as you don't wipe a lot you should be fine from what i understand. as far as job for disc holder, i always go rdm so i never usually buy items, my group usually consists of
    rdm rdm war war thf/dnc(works so well) and sam.

    Re: Nyzul Isle Questions

    I have a question of my own.

    We are just starting a Nyzul group. The person initially holding the disk is mainly going for the weapon drop and isn't interested in any of the armors. I told him that won't work out well, since he will need to warp to avoid having the disk erased and will lose out on getting the weapon.

    He said, he will just zone back into nyzul isle and be able to lot on the drops. Is this possible?

    Is this like Limbus where the drops stay in the loot pool or is it like Dynamis and Salvage, where the drops are lost upon exit or timeout.

    Ayup. He is exactly the wrong person to have the disc. However, you're going to have to farm a lot for tokens. You're really better off having two different people climb the tower in a parallel manner. Not only does this remove the farming issues at the top of the tower, it also doesn't completely screw you if the disc holder doesn't show up for a night or quits the group.

    Re: Nyzul Isle Questions

    I got another question. Has anyone yet re-completed the 100th floor after they got the key item? I havnt read anywhere that someone has and what the reward might be, if there is one.

    I am more interested in knowing if it rewipes your disk.

    The only reward for completing a second time is that the weapon that drops is guaranteed to match that of the disc holder; this allows you to effectively farm the weapons you want by having the disc holder come on the desired job (even if that job is level 1). This works even if the disc holder warps out before killing the boss. And yes, the disc will get wiped a second time if you don't exit before the boss dies.

    Btw, all of these questions (and many more) are addressed in many other threads in this same forum, many of whiich are still on the first page.
