Thanks so much for the info yesterday. We tried today with 5 people and won 2/2. Weirdly, he stayed Harle until 50% then changed to Valor when I had Sharp out, and Storm when I had Valor out. We had a BLM and THF doing the most damage, so maybe when he hits a threshold of damage, he changes to whatever damaged him the most? Never saw one Sharpshot, and E100 was doing gimpy RNG damage on harly's -50% damage anyway. We also had no RNG.

I tried landing the first shot at 100% before anyone else engaged, he stayed Harle until 50%. How odd!

I'd love to test more, but so far I'm enjoying my mini PUP Ridill. From basic tests, Coiler is ROUGHLY about +25% Double Attack with 2-3 Thunders up. It can also proc RIGHT AFTER A WEAPONSKILL.

With 5/5 Optimisation and 5/5 Melee merits, I honest to god couldn't get hate off E100 for the life of me as PUP/NIN. This is definitely the best attachment since Target Marker and Attuner in my opinion.

Just hope they dont nerf it. :/

Grats Jkun. Can't wait to get one. So far, Steam Jacket has not had any noticable effects alas.

P.S Funny story. Someone on Fairy was trying to sell one for 1 million. Jkun and I had a good laugh XD

[chapstick]

does anyone have the pop location for Reacton yet? that doesn't seem to have been perpetuated in any of the compilations available..

also his drop pool >_<

i wish there were more pics of the NMs themselves..

We got a reacton pop item yesterday and spend 2.5 hours scouring 95% of halvung and only found dextrose. Though we were looking here because someone mentioned there was a ??? other then dextrose's, we couldnt find it. Our trip ended when we found the gobbie NM (I forget his name) on the north side of the big bomb map. It was time for dynamis, so we had to leave anyway. The only area in the entire halvung zone we didnt get to check is the south side of the big bomb map. Everything else im 100% sure is clear.

When we got the pop item we thought he said something about mt. zhayolm but we werent sure. Is there any ???'s around bombs in mt. z?

I can look aruond today. Was gonna do reacton last night but realized we didnt wanna search Halvung so we did the Dahak instead since it had a missing drop we didn't know about. I guess I'll start by looking around Mt. Z.

Going for first attempt of the Hydra NM now.

[Jukie]

I just killed it >.> took me 2 hours as a RDM/NIN. To start with I was casting phalanx and haste and all that. But after a while I just kept stoneskin and utsusemi up. They were actually wearing by themselves too. I also started by gravitying him but then it got very resistent. I had no trouble kiting him without gravity, using Crimson cuisses, most of the time having to wait for him to catch up. At one point I even stuck gravity and popped a cookie to rest >.>
I didn't use convert once and it only used 4 tp moves. Barrier tusk 3 times which didn't affect bio like I thought it might. I'm sure you could kill it faster if you converted and nuked more but I was trying to be careful. He only managed to hit me once which knocked stoneskin off and did 4 dmg. Dropped boots, great sword and hide.

Going for first attempt of the Hydra NM now.

pics!

[Dexy]

Starts off at 50% with only 1 head.

We took him to 40% and then he popped another head and went right up to 66%

Each head pop seems to Regen him 25%

BLM does good damage surprisingly, is probably better to use RNGs and BLMs for DMG as his AoEs are nasty.

2hr Mighty strikes @ 17%

Drops Oracle Cap and normal Hydra Synth Mats.

Easy fight, but we had 16 for it.

That looks fantastic, thanks for doing it.

[Vejitta]

Start with 50% , one head and very high regen rate. Trembling for 1700, ripped all of my 3 shadows ;/

After some time head started to repoping. Each head made him recovery some hope (10-20%).
Use normal TP moves.

First Nerve Gas around 40%. Barofield for 500-600s.

EDIT: 3 Heads all the time long, but no high regen rate as with normal Hydra.s

EDIT II: Dead, Oracle's Cap and mats

EDIT III: Tinnin's Fang isn't 100%

Christ lol.

So it's like he has 3 lives, so to speak, ho ho ho. At least it's not 100% right?

[Sehrahin]

Easy fight, shitty drops.. hope it got something else too >.>

Edit: no item for next tier drop though

Did you keep your key item though? iirc you need all 3 key items?

Cerberus is likely to drop his Synth mats too, hurray for hides!

[Cataerith]

Needed Key items from Armed Gears, Dea and Gotoh. Lost all 3 when asking Old man for Tinnin pop item "Monkey Wine".

[Quixote]

lmfao I can't even say it out loud.

Stats are kinda odd... hidden?

Congrats on Hydra kill dexy and co.

Just a quick questions, after you killed the hydra how long did it take for the ??? to reappear, 5 minutes like other mobs or did you guys wait around and see. Wondering if it would be possible to hoard pop items and then bust out 3-4 Hydra's with only one salt usage.

It was pretty fast repop was up before drops sorted at least, so about same as others.

5 mins like the rest. SE might have put a bad drop rate on the r/ex to stop people spamming pandemonium :s? Either way was a fun fight.
