Einherjar findings

[Stiker]

Cleared a Tier 1 tonight
12 Dark Elementals (I think hard to keep track of them since we had to pull them from all over)
12 Dogs

960 ampoules
3x Adaman ingots
Scintillant Ingot
2x Buffalo Hides
Buffalo Meet

The new aggro system is slightly annoying with having to keep trying to drag mobs back.

[Rakshaka]

Tier 2:

Spiders > Triple Bats + Single Bats + Frog

3 Poroggo hats, 2 gold ingots, 2 platinum ingots.

1440 ampoules.

[Redness]

No ones gotten any wootz ingots yet, huh? Inb4 SE forgot to actually add wootz ingots to the chest loot. lol

[Zilong]

pudding > bats > wyvre > behemoth

horn + 1 imperial wootz ingot drop.

[Wizerd]

It seems like a Dynamis linking system to me. I haven't experienced 2 different kinds of mobs yet in the same room with this, but for those who have, if you pulled mob type A near a mob of type B, did it link?

Skeletons certainly linked when in range, and the buffalo boss we got linked to a skel when it was close.

[Tricen]

We timed out on the boss @34% with 18 people. Buffalo boss, had ghosts and bats. Got 960ampoules though.

my LS did a Tier1 today (cause some ppl attending didnt have a single feather), we got Dark Ele x 12, Jnun x 6, pulled Eles near Jnun and no linking.

got Orobon MB, 40% Ran outta Time, 960 Ampules i think.

[Cratylus]

Tier II dragon scalesx2 + Imp wootz ingotx1

[Alibeemac]

I am not even counting on getting any Imp Wootz Ingots lol. Just cause they showed a screenshot of them in loot pool everyone is automatically assuming it is a common drop now. People seem to forget that SE also showed us pics of Abj's dropping in non Odin runs also when Einherjar was introduced and we all know how common a drop they are :D

But they did seem to at least add some ingots that are worth a little money to each run, at least enough to cover the entry costs of the run. Break even = win imo.

As for the changes, did Tier 3 last night for the first time. The entire run was pretty /doze until the MB due to the new linking system. Our poor PLD kept running out to pull and only got one mob which was virtually dead by the time he ran back out again for another lol. In the end he pulled one and trained it through the rest to bring a bunch to us a once lol. It definately is less dangerous now, however can be more time consuming as people are not as frantic about killing fast anymore. Behemoth was insane tho and we managed to win as the 30 sec warning popped up and just got the chest open in time. Was awesome fun lol. Can't wait for Sat's run. Hoping for our first LS Odin a week on Sat :D

The bonus in ampoules now per run is nice. I spent my first 15k on Monday (<3 Omega Ring) and was urghing at months of trying to get my Morgana's Choker now. Based on last night I am hoping to have it in under 6 weeks :D

so einherjar skeles do still link?

[stinkypoo]

Probably a stupid question, I wonder if the Motsognir's demons have normal linking rules too now? Between them or with their master. (guess not... :/)

When we pulled they all came w/ the dvergyr so

On that note, the other day (before those patch details were announced), I was wondering if demons would link to taurus in Einherjar, since that's the case in Uleguerand Range. I'm not sure you can even get that combination, and I figured there was a decent chance they wouldn't since Einherjar is 'different'. Now that mobs were changed to have 'normal linking behavior', I wonder if that means they will ;x. Also I'm not sure if the opposite is true (if taurus link to demons in Ugly Range).

[epigram]

Pulling really isn't much of an issue. You can always have your pld/blm just stonega them all or something. But all together the update is nothing but win, odin every two weeks assuming you don't get screwed over on a teir 3 is nice. Of course attendence has been up so getting 36 shouldn't be an issue.

[Gaea]

1440 in Tier 3. Doing Odin on Sat. *^^*

Since I saw a Tier 2 report this I think its related to the number of mobbies killed. We didn't have very many mobbies in this tier 3. It felt like a Tier 2, but there were 3 waves. 12 Leeches 6 Marid 6 Wivre. Only 24 monsters. So, I think, depending on the tier, they are worth about 50-60 points a piece.

So, if everyone could kindly report their monster theme along with their ampoules and the tier they were in we could get a better idea of what the actual ampoules reward is perhaps

Did you find it any harder with the new linking system? Or was the einherjar pretty on par with how it used to be (sans the obvious linking change with the mobs). I'm curious if the speculation on tier III being tougher w/the new system is actually playing out, or it tier IIIs hold the same difficulty level they used to.

As stated in my original post, not so much harder just time is wasted pulling certain mobs. We had 12 leeches and 6 Wivres. Several leeches decided to idle and wivres are slow as hell and since they don't like a few seconds were wasted pulling individual ones.

The link patch will force LS's to modify there pulling strat depending on the mob. Bombs may be easier to do, since they all don't link.

Are you accidentally saying "like" instead of "link" sometimes, or am I totally missing something?

They changed linking, but did they also change the hate system? Do they still have alliance wide hate at the moment they're aggro'd?

Yes. When our BRD who linked the boss promptly died, the boss and the skeleton both came rushing towards our group.

Well the fact that our sleepers weren't really on top of it, I would say harder

In a normal situation I would say that it is about the same, even better since you control the flow.

Oh I lied, we had imps too (I knew something seemed off), 12 of them. The system worked well for us then, because we could pull them in groups of 3, which cut down on the AoE's.
