Walk of Echoes

PUP and MNK can solo lesser mobs in #1 and #3 if you pull correctly. Depending on how many people are in the zone, some players might try to go in and help out on soloing the lessers but they might be after the coin you are after. On Lakshmi, Adv and Glory are the most sought after coins, however, as of late, there seems to be an influx of players going after glory. If you /sea the zone and see more than 8 people, most likely they are doing a PUG Alliance Boss run, which if you can place, can be a good way to pick up coins. However, there are people on our server that do WoE as COR or BRD, and basically spam rolls/songs to easily place for a personal chest. There will be individuals on our server who will flat out refuse to invite those jobs to an alliance boss run due to the "unfair advantage" they have. For me, I typically /sea the zone and check comments and if there are a lot of people going after the same coin, I don't go. Every once in a while, I catch a break and there is no one going after the coin I want, and I go duo/trio conflux #3 with random people.

on Levi, Nobody went in WoE who wasn't RDM PLD or COR. 18-person alliances of RDMPLDCOR all meleeing it up, good times. The easy train is to go on RDM/SCH, Accession Enfire and meleeing alone pretty much guarantee 4th+. At 90 though, 3 people can win Slimes. 1 pet or support job who doesn't mind sac pulling and doing the entire fight weakened after pull, a decent NIN/dnc with subtle blow can solo a boss slime, and having a 3rd person for haste or emergency curing would be best.

[Erlayn]

I usually do WoE on Nin/Dnc and solo #3 but it seems if I'm the only one in the zone, I all of a sudden see Jp or other pop in and out lot every dam coin I need (Glory). I saw a Coin of Glory drop yesterday. It only took 1.5-2weeks since the last one I saw. Even when I decide to run with a group of JP and leech a run on slimes, it's hard as hell to place unless I get some decent temp items. I've been stuck at 6/30 Glory for over a month now. And it seems people are to busy with abyssea to help do a slime run with me so I can get some pouches to finish off this dam weapon. I've been at 30/30 and 50/50 for the next 2 stages for a long time now.

[Innuendo]

Attempting to make sense of the (shitty) contents of rank chests. Ignoring that it's almost always crafting crap, has anyone noticed whether a higher ranking chest is more likely to have pouches in?

My experience says no, wondering if anyone who's spammed it more has input.

Same, it's not relevant at all, which can be very frustrating.

i've gotten none from most my first place coffers, and doubles from my 4th place. shits random.

[Arthars]

rank 1-5 means ur top 5 to get extra loots

doesnt mean rank 1 get uber loots

maybe it CAN be, but in the long run, you notice shits so random that it seems every rank gets the same shits and hence the conclusion from myself

for example: my wife ID always 5th place and im 1st or 2nd and she got pouches enough to yield 30 glory coins while i sit at 10 at one point

imo, mules always get the best loots

Anyone have any experience with conflux 4? Recommended lowman group compositions etc? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks~

[Gwynplaine]

Might be considered a necro, but I think it's justified given this is sort of *the* topic for this event.

I'm curious how the conflux access has been post server merges. Seem like more confluxes are open faster? I don't think it was ever solved how they slowly open up?
Right now on my server conflux 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are open, but not 4 or 7. Seems weird.

Isn´t it like... clearing 1 opens 4, 2 opens 5 and 3 opens 6 ? 2 is easy to clear so usually 5 open, 1 is ok to clear and 3 is kinda a bitch.

Yeah and flux 7 requires some combination of two out of the three upper tier chambers being cleared X number of times.

[Juxtaposition]

Any word at all regarding Confluxes #8, 9, 10, or 11?

Idk it's kinda weird. I've personally cleared all the ones on this server several times a few months back and no more opened up. And we only had 1, 2, 3 and 5. Haven't checked more recently or even since the merger lol.

[Byrthnoth]

Phaffi was telling me about the Confluxes while I was afk writing up some new magian trials / waiting for sunsand last night. This is what I've got:

Flux 8 is 8 regular turtles, 8 Genbus, and 2 Lacovies (Bosses). The Genbu ones petrify. Tortoise Song takes 3 buffs

Flux 9 is Roc

Flux 10 (45 minute time limit, 18 people) is:
* 3 Annihilative Adenium (~30~40k HP Chloris, bosses) - High regain, uses Fatal Scream from 100%HP. Ice magic
* 12 Lunatic Lycopodium (~8000 HP white mandies) - Wind magic (Silencega, Aero5, Aeroga II/III, Graviga), Petal Pirouette, Petalback Spin
* 12 Killer Korrigan (~8000 HP black mandies) - Ice Magic (Bindga, Blizzaga II/III, Bliz 5), Petal Twist (-50% max HP)
* Any mandy can Scream (Terror).
* Mandy agro range is about 20'
* They hit for ~20 through O.chain and Phalanx.
* When you kill one, you get a message "The fiends thirst for blood!" and they swarm. When one gets to the area, they all back off.

Flux 11 is Tapana

Lakshmi has 8~10 open.

[Radec]

#8: All good, lacovie models have a lot of hp, and your collection of hop-ons (you'll get hop-ons) will feed a ton of TP for tesutdo tremor spam until they're all dead a few times.

#9: 3 Amphiteres, 1 Mega-Amphitere.
Vermillion wind is all stats down.

#10: 6x of each Lycopodium, mandragora (White forms) Korrigan, Pachipodium (Black Forms)
Different mob aoe ws do terror, hpdown(-50%) mpdown(-50%) mnddown.
Chloris models have high eva.

[Lyramion]

What about the drops in the higher tier Fluxes? You get dices regularly?

[ronin sparthos]

Just ran through each of the new fluxes barring 11 since it's closed.

Flux 8 involve Admanatoises, mini-Genbu and 2 Lacovies each at the end of a passageway. As stated, Tortoise song snatches buffs, Lacovies cast all the stuff they do in Abyssea (Break, Breakga, Stonega, Slowga) and use Tetsudo Tremor to great effect. They will also 2hour (Invincible) at some point during the battle.

Conflux 9 puts you up against 4-5 Amphipteres and finally a Ahmuluk-skin Amphiptere as the boss. The normals use all the typical TP moves (Warped Wail's Max HP/MP down is no joke, Feral Peck resets hate) in addition to wind spells. The boss uses Thunder spells and didn't use the unique TP moves (Vermillion Wind or Calamitous Wing) but I would chalk that up to luck and not because it's incapable of.

Conflux 10 involves all types of Mandragora as Byrth posted above and one of them (or more) can nightmare sleep you with Dream Flower.

"The fiend thirsts for blood!" seems to be the new method of conveying that a mob is coming to patrol a deathpoint.

All in all:
-You can get brews in the new chambers. A PUG member used one against some mandies during that run.
-Monsters stood still in 8/9 while Mandies seemed to roam.

I did not get dice from my crate but many other people seemed to.

Not that often, 4 wins on 2 characters netted 3 dice, seems about average based on others reports in shell.
