MMM findings

[Zirael]

After reading this thread I'm a bit confused. In order to unlock T4, do you need to beat only all T3, or all T1, all T2 and all T3?
So you do T1->T2->3xT3 or 3xT1->3xT2->3xT3?

[Byrthnoth]

The second option. Gotta catch em all to farm Ixion. Only need 2 kills to farm tier 3.

[Ceal]

Is the rank important? Like if it faded away but you still get to save progress and it gives you a lower rank.

[ronin sparthos]

Rank doesn't matter. You have to Rank 5 (beat) to progress.

Apologies for stupid question, but I'm in MMM09 now. If the mob doesn't totally die, but you get two chests and the mob vanishes, does that count as a win or not? And by win, I mean counting towards popping the T4.

Edit: NVM.

Already answered, but you can also verify your progress when you trade your card to Sadistiq prior to spawning a mob.

No, it doesn't count. Need them all to be level 5 complete when you check records, a faded mob gives 1-4, only killing it gives 5.

So did Golem. Went phys shield and absorbed phys dmg the entire time. Had two BLMs and took it to 65%, but bitch runs faster than a BLM w/o 8%+ so it was stupid and killed me like 4x. SAM and WAR basically sat there and could do nothing. Setup was BRD RDM BLM BLM SAM WAR. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

? I know you can verify your progress by trading your card, but trading your card says nothing about being able to pop Tier 4. Radec thanks.

thanx for the guide

[thfwarrior]

the tier 2 golam must be brokein or something he went into this mob and absoreb all phy dmg it never came off. it did it be for and nukes mad it come of but the past 6 times never came off ;;

[thfwarrior]

im glad bullwhip does not come from this ill just you C.C to get my 2h back!

I think Radec had the most sound advice for Kuperan on the previous page:

Definitely bring a lot of magic damage to golem, he got stuck in physical absorb mode last night one run, did ~75%>0 entirely with magic damage - nearly timed out with 3xBLM PLD WHM BRD.

Also note he takes bonus damage when he has picked a weakness, ex Crystal Weapon Fire, he'll take ~20% more water damage.

PLD SAM/THF BLM BLM SMN RDM works pretty well.

Anyone mind sharing their strat for Shadhavar?

Beat Babalu Aye using SCH/rdm RDM/nin BLM/rdm BLM/whm BLM BLM: grav, run around, nuke, few BLM had antidotes and Herald's. Having one BLM/whm saves you having to buy antidotes though all of you getting one stack each would be faster.

Beat Gumdrop using SCH RDM BLM BLM BLM BLM, we threw in RDM and WHM instead of other nuking jobs, same result. Grav, kite, nuke. We also beat it once using MNK SAM BLM WHM RDM BRD because we were doing a T2 and backtracked to one persons orb. Can beat it using any two DD/nin (possibly /war if tank / healers are good) and that mage setup. SC + MB works wonders. Kite during 2hr if using DD jobs.

Beat Egungun using DRK SAM WHM RDM SCH BLM, can throw in other DDs and easier with at least two sources of nuking. SC + MB, kite during 2hr.

Chuhaister, Hippalectryon, & Kuperan were all taken down using a DDx2/nin BRD SCH BLM RDM combination, where RDM / SCH was sometimes replaced by WHM. Kite Chuhaister around the pillar to the right of where you enter and on the outside of the arena during 2hr - his counterstance makes it impossible to keep facing and DDing him. Bard/DRK was super for quick stuns (though the duration of each stun decreases with use). We tried Hippalectryon once using a PLD tank and mostly mages, but PLD, Burt + Aegis, couldn't keep hate because nuking jobs capped hate as well. Easier to DDx2 for SC + MB as well; speeds kills up.

Beat Sculotne using RDM/nin WHM/sch BLM/nin BLM/nin BLM/nin BLM/rdm using a nuking & kiting method. Bind doesn't land but gravity does. We had a few weird nuking periods where he'd either take full damage or near half. I was using Nashira feet and Hect. cape for a little extra MACC on my nukes because on occasion he'd resist. Recommend starting off with a timed ES nuke. Would take 10-12 minutes to kill him each time.

Gonna do Tupilaq using DDx2, blm sch rdm whm with SC + MB and holy waters. Will do the same for Skoll.

The runes we used gave us HP+, MP+, INT+ if it was something we manaburned, STR+ if melee, intimidation for that type of monster, and any other rune that sounded useful / completed (or nearly completed) the rune. Don't really need a fully stable rune because the monster depops after 15 minutes anyway.

Hope this helps for anyone just starting MMM revitalization team 9.

I keep hearing that people have found ways of having their mazes have weather effects. Has anyone found a way of doing this? It would speed up the day/weather trials considerably, if no one has... wouldnt that be a great idea for SE to add...?

[Anso]

Any findings on this yet? Been watching this thread like a hawk as it would really speed up trials

[Khajit]

well the fact that noone has posted anything could be an indication that noone found anything. shocking i know.
