June 2019 Version Update

Shadows don't seem to work, our DDs got taken out with 3 up. From what I've seen Zan X enters his move list under 50% and he can use it more than once in a fight. /kneel definitely works against it as well.


I ran it a few times today and my lockout timer has not changed. You're good to go.

Well about damn time for that. :rolleyes:

Good to know /kneel works. I did try this as well yesterday, but I wasn't on top of my game so I reacted too slow to /kneel as well so was unsure if it worked or not.

Thanks for tip on utsusemi too.

Someone with 0 PDT took 3k from a Geirrothr targeting 6 persons in VD, I think each level of difficulty adds 3000. It should be indeed impossible to survive alone even with 75% PDT, maybe there are some unknown parameters concerning Geirrothr. In Black And White Geirrothr has several variances (5000, 6250, 7500, 8750 and 10000), same in Odin's Chamber II (10000~20000).

It is possible there are some hidden mechanics. I went in few times solo, with trusts and no trusts I did survive it every time, but I never paid attention to the damage dealt.

Maton tanks can survive an 18k Geirrothr solo thanks to being able to reach 87.5% PDT along with having 3.6k+ HP. They are also unaffected by the Sanngetall dispel.

Only Zantetsuken X poses a problem as that can kill even pets.

now im not sure if this is because of the update or not but the last 2 days I've been zeni farming my zen is very random. normally i would get my 1440 to 1515zeni

but now despite the pictures are taking in the exact same spot without moving. i get 510 to 1515 on the same character

To all you *** buying the ring for 200M, you're a ***.

No kidding. Should be spending a minimum of 250

*** bs

Meh, I'm sick of Great Sword. The Sword looks amazing offhand for Decimation.

Not sure Afa, we got 2 GS today, so Bz or Misc can test them and we'll find out soon.

Also, here are some updated Drop rates on Gunslingers runs with up to Th4 max on VD over 2 nights.

Body: 12/25
Head: 7/25
Gere Ring: 7/25 (seems much more common than we thought)
Freke Ring: 3/25
Polearm: 2/25
Great Sword: 2/25
Sword: none/25

If I recall correctly, they mentioned in the digest that they've repurposed Walk of Echoes for future content and to deal with congestion issues. One of the reasons we fight Odin in there.

Not exactly.
But their little coding derp revealed to us (or at least me) what they've done serverside.

So original Dynamis was instanced. And for sake of argument, let's say that there were 10 instances (rooms) of each zone for a total of 100 rooms (probably partitions) on the "Dynamis server".
When they collapsed the instances into a regular zone, essentially cutting access to all but one room, that left 90 unused copies of each Dynamis zone on that server.
Then they made Dynamis Divergence, most likely cannibalizing all those empty old Dynamis rooms for the 4 base cities.
So with my arbitrary numbers, that would put that server as 10 rooms for the Dynamis zones, 36 rooms of Divergence instances (with 9 each), and 54 "empty" rooms.

Most likely they looked toward all these old Dynamis spaces as a good place for more Legion instances (as they're already coded as instanced zones, so would just have to change the sandbox).
And this is why I think the Odin merit fight is in Selbina and WoE, instead of using old instance zones for the merit fights as previously, they took some of these old empty instanced Dynamis rooms and changed the sandbox with a copy of WoE battlefields.

This would explain both why entering the Odin fight triggered the Divergence wait time; as it implies they're on the same server with a shell code affecting all the instanced zones on that server.
As well as why a "new zone" shows up client side, because that's not the WoE zone on the Woe server, but is WoE on the Dynamis server. (it's a lot more technical than that, but I'm keeping things simple.)
So with my arbitrary numbers, this server has 10 Dynamis rooms, 36 Divergence instanced rooms, 9 Odin WoE instanced rooms, and 45 "empty" instanced rooms... some of which will likely be cannibalized for Legion instances either next update or the one after.

If Legion pops up as a "new zone" when they increase Ambuscade instances, then I am 100% right. (Let's hope they now know to delink that Divergence timer for that... but doing Odin this way was probably a test to see if this could be a solution to the congestion.)

If by "solo" he meant that he was the only character in range, it could be that a luopan was there, which would split things to 9k, then 75% PDT would allow you to survive the split.

Original dynamis was a single zone that would lock once you broke the hour glass. That zone would then be occupied by that group for the entire time they were in and NOBODY else on the server could enter that zone until the previous group exited.

Yes it sucked, each server had to create calendar schedules with all the major dynamis groups using the honor system to adhere to those calendars. And there was always those *** low man teams that would screw over everyone by not using the schedules and just entering where ever whenever.

When SE made the first "Dynamis 2.0" all they did was open the zones up as shared zones and rearrange the monsters inside.

Just tried the Celestial Nexus a few times and still no credit for it.

Does anyone know if this is a Bug or a just poor translation?

I'm about to do all the HTBs until it gives credit.

It's the celestial nexus. It worked for every account. On VE.

Almost all of this is wrong besides the fact that they're using dynamis instance servers for odin(and future amb).

Dunno if this was mentioned or not (or if it is obvious), but getting a Mog Garden flotsam item you already have (like a Summerstone) and discarding it does not count towards the monthly RoE objective.

Also,an easy way to complete the plasm objective on mules you don't have geared enough to win delve- farm and dbox beads from T5 field NMs.

Haven't tried it yet but can't you just eat cheap shards etc for the clear?

Yes, but ugh that would be painfully slow

(you could buy ~16 shards)

You've got a month to do it, will be fine

Kamihr drifts T5 Ytzarg is an easy solo with trusts, pop items from the two ytzarg nq mobs seem to be 100%.

First sword dropped after about 30 fights, so this along with maybe Polearm/Zanet X/nuking Ring are the 2-3 rare pieces

Also, here are some updated Drop rates on Gunslingers runs with up to Th4 max on VD over 3 nights.

Body: 14/37
Head: 10/37
Gere Ring: 11/37 (seems much more common than we thought)
Freke Ring: 4/37
Polearm: 2/37
Great Sword: 2/37
Sword: 2/37

Probably can safely say Sword/GS/Nuking ring/Pole have about a 5% or lower drop rate on VD

Body seems to be 40%-50%
Head/Gere about 25%-30%

I was starting to get a little worried because we've seen 4 swords and 3 polearms, but 0 great swords. All of the fights with a THF TH8'ing on VD. I'm glad the drop rate between weapons seem to be more or less the same for your group. We're all waiting on great swords at this point.

Edit: We didn't notice Freke ring being too low, since we all got one pretty fast. Maybe we were just lucky.

I'll keep updating this post i guess to get better numbers untl we do 100 of them.

Also seen 2 Gere rings drop at once, so that's possible

Edit: Also we just capped on this groups bodies/heads/gere...so yeah.... lolol,, but we've been adding mules so the drop rates should be correct for at least up until run #37

We've seen two bodies happen in one run too. We see too many "no drop" runs now since everyone has the head/body/rings. I guess I should have kept a better record of drops like you guys! XD
