What jobs do you take to the 100th Floor?

Question about runic disc: If the disc holder logs out, boss dies, then logs back on to be able to lot loot, is the data lost? Assume they will still use flies or warp to get out afterwards.

It's been said several times before. Unless the disc holder actually zones out of the area before the boss dies (warp, teleport, flies, homepoint, etc) the data will be lost. Even if they logged out, canceled their content IDs, uninstalled the game, eBayed the account and the new owner logged in a month later the data will be gone as soon as they were in game.

Oh well, so much for that.

jobs question again i am so bad with it.

Our nin left us for salvage (so we need a 6th for nyzul isle)

looking for an optimum jobs setup for what we need (mostly for 60-80-100 but for the rest too)

our setup atm

BRD/WHM (can be PLD or THF (lv74 thf no af2 gloves))
MNK/NIN (can be SAM or PUP or PLD)
RDM/WHM
BLU/NIN (can be DNC or DRK)
DRG/mage (can change SJ or be BLM)

so my main questions for the bosses

1) Should i look for a BRD (and make my BRD come THF or get a THF and let me BRD stay brd?)
2) should i look for a nin?
3) should i look for a DD (not thf) and keep the same setup?
4) should i look for a DD (not a thf) and some people in my SP changes jobs?


if 3 and 4 what job you suggest i should look for

and if 4) what job you suggest my SP to come as


Thx i'm really not sure what to do atm

Before we finished weapon farming and our RDM left, we had success at floor 100 with MNK/NIN MNK/NIN BLU/NIN RDM/WHM BRD/WHM. One of the MNK/NINs had the Runic Key so he'd sometimes come on other jobs and warp, and we never lost on 100 with either MNK BLU RDM BRD or MNK MNK BLU BRD, (when he came as RDM for vorpal sword drop, the main RDM came MNK). When we were trying to get him his weapons from the 1/18 chance on the BRD's disc, she'd play songs and then warp and we'd kill MNK MNK BLU RDM.

Granted we were caring only for weapons and not head armor, so in about 15-20 floor 100 runs, I think we saw one head drop lol maybe two. But I'm just bringing this up since you guys have a pretty similar setup. Having the BRD play songs and then warp is as close as you can get to not losing someone due to warp, and maybe you could have your DRG come THF sub or something (then again if you give your BRD then disc and then you do pick up another BRD, you won't want your THF warping).

[Ratatapa]

well yeah i forgot to say the 2 disk are me (MNK that can be sam or pup or pld) and the BRD that can be THF

what i was thinking was looking fora DD for floor 60-80-100 that can be THF for 20-40

but meh waiting on more info and suggestion ^^

Your DRG seems to be a static melee (in the sense that BLM aren't hugely useful on 60+ bosses), and I wouldn't replace BLU for anything in Nyzul because they're so damn useful. So you'd either have to get another tank and have you warp on Floor100 "safely" as a melee like SAM/MNK, or get a full-time THF and have you tank and warp on Floor100 (I'd say to tank on MNK instead of PLD, if you're comfortable with it).

If it were my group, I'd choose the THF in a heartbeat, because I currently have a MNK tank who is great at tanking and that has to warp out (sucks, I know) but our BLU is so good that we're fine having him tank the last bit of the mob's HP. If you think you're bad enough dudes (lol) to take on the bosses knowing you're going to lose your tank in the process (on Floor100), I'd say do the same. Otherwise, play it safe and get a tank and you switch to SAM or stay co-tank MNK.

I've always been a proponent for having THF on the bosses. They may be less efficient overall...but the whole point of doing these bosses is farming and getting drops, so why not try to increase your chances for drop? In my documented experience, we've gotten far more boss drops with TH than without.

Whm, Thf, Pld/war, Nin, Sam/nin, blu/nin is our setup.

I'm pld, i run in invincible, they use various meds like barbarians and iwings. The bosses hit like little girls. I use fanatics + sentinal and at 20% I pop a fools if i got one. Blu will save a hi-ether for 20%. Whm is disk holder (lol). Whm will use fireflies and get out, benediction right before if needed. Blu and myself as pld will cure teh rest of the party. Usually its no big deal. All members fully merited with weapon merits and such. Whm has club merits too lol (though not used for this). We have never failed. I very rarely lose hate. Depends on the drinks they use. Some are very powerful.

I'm 4/5 askar, need head!

We got 1 askar, 3 denali, 1 goliard. Most the time we get unlucky with only weapon drops. Bstx2, brd, pup, nin and others i forgot. Nin was only weapon we have got that someone wanted lol He also is the person that gets 100% choice of weapons later. He didnt get out in time on our first floor 100 -.-

But evenutally we will have 2 at 100 which will help farming it easier.

Why did you bold warp scroll as if there was any difference between using that and using fireflies?

Flies take forever to warp you out, and risk of being paralyzed while trying depending on the boss. Plus if you're really low on time, warp scroll is a nice option. Some DD don't have access to stuff like mob hp% (or just can't read) so warp scroll is nice and handy so that the disc holder doesn't get a reset.

Edit: for mob HP%, that's a windower thing and not ps2/3/xbox if it was not already obvious.

[VivixKujata]

Our setup:

SAM,WAR,THF,(MNK or SAM),RDM,BRD

We never have the rdm sub drk, as whm sub is needed for curaga II on chariots and erase for flayers and stuff. Clearing each 96-100 with about 10 minutes to spare, we have 2 discs, BRD and SAM(me). The F100 stuff is super weak, GoH does about 350~ and fulm just the stats are annoying. We get fanatics, dusty wing, and body boost, and i grab a few extra items if i have time. when on the boss floor, save fanatics till like 40% or so then use them and that cancels out everything the fulm/goh/nerve gas does, making it pretty easy.

Just did a 4man (BRD,SAM,THF,SAM) floor80 and got askar body. joy

As for our drop luck, we got 13 body's in a row, weve gotten 3 denali head, 4 askar heads, and 4 goliard heads. All weapons have been pretty much crap, got a few thfs, 1 sam, buncha rng bows, and cor guns -_-.

Posted this in the randomer question thread, but this forum is where the experts on nyzul are.

One of our f96 discholders comes thief usually.

When she hit/tag the mob and Treasure Hunter is applied, can she then warp out before its death and TH stays active on the mob?

I assume yes since I heard (somewhere cant find><) that TH is a status effect, and can't be erased once applied unless mob resets. However, our team doesn't take TH on boss lightly so would like confirmation.

Thanks.

[Finwich]

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.

My group eventually decided to try our regular climbing jobs for the 100th floor instead of our boss set up, and we have no THF in that sest. We went 1/1 on Denali Bonnet and got the Polearm. (Obviously, we'll have more data once we keep doing bosses) Plenty of people say that they have done bosses with no TH and have had good results. Actually... we seem to have worse luck with our 2 TH4 THF...

Our set up was WAR/NIN, RDM/WHM, SAM/THF, WHM/SMN, MNK/NIN, NIN/WAR

Probably overkill on the healing. The boss (Hydra) almost seemed squishier than the 80th floor version.

It's funny, we seem to have the most difficulty with 60 bosses...

[Loren]

There's not a lot of testing re: Treasure Hunter and dropping off the hate list (it would be extremely time consuming).

I'd rather play it safe considering the whole point is the drops. My party is unfortunate enough to have both disc holders THF. We end up changing jobs around so a THF is always present for the kill. About 50% on helmets so far.

Can someone with a Runic Key tell me its Key item description, please?
