MMM findings

Koggelmander doesn't exist. I don't give a fuck what anyone says, the people who have it now used hacks.

Not exactly sure how he does it, but my friends seems to have a 50/50 drop rate thing going on with Koggelmander.

Or at least better than average. He does the same setup Tanihwah with Divine Magic, etc, etc.

he thinks it has to do with his "Maze Scholar" title. Idk if that's the reason or not. But I'm not complaining. @ LVL. 70. 2 more levels before I can use my Koggelmander! =D

I am 2/7 now with set-up I posted while ago, while 0/26 with only SM or M, so to me seems SM + M effects drop rate good bit.

Maybe, my friend does use both SM & M in his setup. Maybe the harder you make the NM, the better the drop rate becomes?

Finally finished my set for Taniwha, and I thought I'd give soloing an attempt as RDM/NIN. I left out Might/Supreme Might, but I wasn't able to land Bind or Gravity at all. I assume that this means that the DoT/Kite method is out.

Any tips for soloing these? I was thinking that perhaps BLM/Elemental Magic may make him stop to cast long enough for me to put some distance between us, but I dunno. No w.legs yet, by the way.

Bugards have increased movement speed anyway, your best bet is probably just using ceremonial dagger, slow/para, and a good dmg- and haste setup. I'd assume it's doable with might, but not SM.. simply because of the amt of damage you'd need.

004-Beasts
013-Great Warrior (I forgot about manticores. >_< )
020-Peon
099-Replenishment Contract
102-Trial by Numbers
108-Conditioning Contract

The mobs popped as decent challenge, but every mob that I killed gave 13 XP. Maybe I missed it in all of this thread, but his this supposed to happen? Two players killing DC mobs getting 13 XP? Any thoughts?

At least 50% (if not a great deal more) of the exp of the maze lurkers is taken from the mobs, and put back into the chest that pops after you defeat the final mob. Don't forget that your NPC takes 30% of your exp as well. However, the good news is that your empress band applies to both the mobs you kill and the exp bonus from the chest.

LMAO What a cock tease, Zonure dropped for me today.

It doesn't help having the titles so far. Maybe in the next update, but I've been popping the last 6 mazes with the title. It does nothing.

So I tried for Lycopodium Sash for friend, was expecting mandy and easy fight instead was sapling anyone got advice on fighting him, his spinning sprout move did huge amount of dmg, and killed us really.

[Suiram]

I'm not sure what setup you use for the other NMs, but we'd been using a 3x melee, 2-3x support setup until we got to sapling. After a few ugly runs we changed from 3 melee to 1 tank, 2 melee, and that worked way better, although not without the occasional problems. The tank will get hit by sprout spin still, but shouldn't be devastating like when it hits someone who isn't geared to take it, and everyone else just needs to make sure they always have 3 shadows up at all times if they're in range (depending on what job/magic you have set, you have to watch that you aren't the random target of an elemental debuff or something, taking a shadow without you noticing). I'd also recommend having someone use poison pots, although it should be possible to avoid mages getting hit by sleep with careful positioning (I think it's the same distance as spin, not 100% sure though).

Of course, after a while we ended up switching to a manaburn setup after people here have reported success with various NMs that way, and that's obviously even faster and easier if you have the job selection to accommodate it. Actually just got our first sash tonight.

What runes were on the tabula when you got the dorp?

Looking back, I apparently forgot to put Might back on it since our first manaburn attempt.

Tabula M02
Lost and Found
Tiny Warrior (resonating)
Plantoid
Supreme Might
Elemental Magic

[Mytiwar]

Got Zade or whatever the polearm is yesterday. No pics (ps3 lol) so you'll have to take my word for it.

Great warrior, SM, M, L&F, Plantoid, Divine magic, Force of will


Going up in the world also, ding 0/20 Ermine's.

[Tonberrry]

My brother and i have gotten our MMM weps little over 2months ago,
His Koggel and my Tail (we both went 1/40ish)
Been trying for Gnole Torque ever since and it just doesn't showup, every once in a while i go now i've kinda given up on the event. Was wondering how everyone else's luck was with it.

It is always nice to bring new people to fight it and show them a 6man Tiamat fight in rabbit form! lol

[Myriads]

A small victory for me this evening. Superior Synthesis dropped for me tonight, completing my full set of all runes. It's been a goal to get them all, and now I have! (until April at least )

over 0/140 on koggel, stopped counting

[eva00r]

Got a question, can we use the Maze Compass when we complete the maze? Or do we have to go back to the exit ? Will there be any side effect?

Either will do and there is no side effect.

ouch >< i was surprised when my brother and i got our weps bc it was on the exact same night and it was back to back, the only thing i changed was i resonated a Dark Rune (the L shaped one) on dark tile, changed that for both setups and poof you find weapons and double rune drops




but ehh idk generally this event has retarded drop rates

[pendragoon]

personally went 1/1 on:
Koggelmander
Gnole Torque
MMJ earring
Lyco earring

gf is 0/25+ (if you include my runs for her koggel)

Others in the group are:
1/5ish on gnole torque each
1/5ish on MMJ earring each

My koggel came from the FFXIclopedia rune list for it, but the rest of my runs were done using this advice:

http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/ffxi-...ml#post2483734

I always use L/F, Might, S.Might, a magic type (divine), a job type (BLM), beast type (related to the item you want), and then USING ONLY 1 and ONLY RESONATING 1 of the following:

--- stillness drops equipment: mamool ja earring/lycopodium earring/gnole crown
--- motion drops weapon: club/katana/GS/GA?
--- great warrior drops weapon: dagger/sword/polearm/axe?
--- tiny warrior drops equipment: mamool ja mantle/lycopodium sash/gnole torque

So, based on this info... If you get club when you want sword, I think you're resonating the wrong rune or multiple runes.
