Dynamis - Nothing Drops

Did another bastok with 7 this time, same camp.

345 coins.

345 singles?

2 100s, and 145 singles.

Do you kill the lotto NM or force pop?

for the lolshockspikes

I would say that knocking off the NMs for 100s isnt done that often. i wish i could get 2 100 bynes >_> 649/1400 for stage 3!

In Windurst Today, with ~7 people, I got 317 Coins. 1 100, and 217 Singles :O

Found a pretty solid camp at windurst... Around Jeuno Consult. If you have a good Sleeper anyway.

I didnt see any lotto NMs there. Just the timed spawn ones.

the DRK MNK and SMN NMs. We camp behind the AHish. and kill mostly JA proc mobs.

i went from 3800ish bynes to 4300ish in 3ish runs.

They were all timed spawn, but i got a 100 off the BLM NM, So time spawn is fine with me ;o

I've never noticed a difference in drop rate of 100's form timed or Lotto.

im truly beggining to think that ppl who say they have gotten 2 or more 100s in a single run are full of s**t because my groupe has done dynamis since its been updated, killed so many dif NMs with and without procs that ive lost count but must be ~100-150 including zone bosses and have not seen a single damn 100 piece... the only thing we havent done yet is arch NMs...

Random luck is random luck.

The two M. Silvers I got sunday (both from timed pops) must have been a figment of our collective imaginations.

can i ask what your pty setup was? we've been getting like 9-14 ppl for the most part, and i've been making 2 independantly functioning ptys so we can get procs on the mobs before they die from melee hits. what do we think the best setup is for maximum singles with say a group of 12? would you split them or keep the group together? are plds needed or are you better off with a nin or 2 wars for tanks, or even dnc? I'm talking about the towns mostly, not so much ice zones.

he mad.

We go with a NIN/DNC since they can proc magic/ja and ws mobs.
I go SAM/WAR for Voke and WS procs.
we have a WHM/RDM for heals and a BLM for sleeps.
That would be the bare minimum. But TH still effects how many coins can drop after you proc because once our TH was AFK wed only get 1-2 per proc'd mob. THF comes back we see 3-4 per mob. THF would be subbing DNC for JA procs since thats the majority of the mobs we pull.

Sound Blast Proc - Dyna-Xarc WHM Mob

I also noticed this... We went without a THF once to see what would happen (although the NIN/DNC we used instead didn't have overly much luck proccing that night) and generally saw fewer drops per kill. Always employ our THFs ever since! Ours is usually THF/NIN, though, because the group is fairly sizable.
For us, procs seem like they just favor one random party member more than the others each run. Last night, our DRK/SAM seemed to get the most procs by a good deal, beating out the SAM for WSes and two RDMs and a BRD for magic procs. A previous run seemed to favor one of our BST/DNC (not so much luck for the other BST/DNC). The original proc-happy BRD has not had another lucky night yet, and our more recent usual BRD has not, either. I can see it being just a coincidence, though.

Our favorite zones for currency right now are Jeuno and Xarcabard, but we have not tried Windurst properly because it's an absolute nightmare. Are there any fairly safe strategies for the time extensions here? I'm a bit nervous about getting these TEs, so we've been avoiding it despite members wanting a few pieces from this zone and having a general need for shells. Our TE collectors seem to have a tendency to run into misfortune as well, lol. We usually use a mix of pet jobs (any) and BLM or BLU for TEs, depending on zone and who's available, but can probably try anything that's recommended for this one.

We usually see a lower coin count/run, but spend most of our time fighting force popped NM's. Depending on the NM, they're usually pretty grueling fights. (And no, I'm not talking about the zone bosses, which are weak in comparison)

^this definitely. 193 coins with 3 people, including wasting time due to a partial wipe at the start (someone forgot sneak) and fighting the boss.

I've been solo'ing Glacier on THF/NIN and after getting TEs I set up camp near the Orcs where I can pull DRKs quite easily along with a few SAMs and WARs. The first time with 4/5 TEs I proc'd a few mobs but not many and ended up with just 9 coins. With 5/5 TEs I proc'd a load and came away with 23 coins. The next time with 4/5 TEs I didn't get a single proc, even on a stray BRD which I sat there and spammed ninjutsu on trying to proc. Sometimes it seems you just can't proc no matter how hard you try.

I don't get why people say windy is so horrible. I got all TE solo on rdm/blm easily. Just sleepga then nuke the statue dead, then kill the 1 add in two of the spots (iirc). The other ones, just sleep->nuke stat->then run to a safe spot and die.

Wouldn't it be more time friendly to just log out and back in? Saves having to deal with weakened.

Edit: totally didn't pay attention... did not mean to necro >.<

Wanted to toss this out there. A buddy of mine and I duo Xarc almost every night me NIN/DNC him THF/DNC we proc 85-90% of the mobs we pull, some are just stubborn. But we walk away with about 95-100+ in singles every night. Looking at these posts of people taking 6+ people in and getting 300+ coins once you break it down your split is the same with 2 or 6 (we walk out with about 40+ each and in a 6man it seems you would have about 30+ each). I really have no point to this post just adding my experience in Dyna to the board. You could just as easily duo and get more coins if you wanted or you could take the extra bodies for security reasons.

We do on occasion walk away with a 100 piece but they just seem to be utterly rare drops, we've proc'ed and gotten TH up to like 10 but never saw a 100. Our first 100 came from Marquis Andras with no procs and no TH.

My average on bst/dnc is just over 100 singles a xarc run. More obviously when the nm's i also camp drop 100's. Sometimes a friend will come with me, normally she's on dnc, and will push that up to about 175 coins. If either or both of u have bst, its definately the way to go. Will atleast double what u pull in now.
