as far as Besieged goes... How can one influence the beastmen to win? Other than joining/inviting other players and systematically D2ing them at opportune moments
Are there any actions one can take that directly negatively impact NPCs?
What about aggroing as many mobs as possible and dragging them to the Astral Candescence room?
Just brainstorming here ways to grief the server in a controlled way

Mastery Rank Data
You can remove all your meva and try to get charmed.
Kclub tp feed frogs and ghosts into charm spam and perdition spam. But nothing you can do directly. We already ignore mirrors.
[+]
Convince the server to throw the game and not show up for besieged.
Yeah they'll just do it more because you ask, it is asura afterall.
can't even say transfer to cerb since theres significantly less to throw and come back with the closures. And then convince them not to bum rush the BCNM, even if you lose its going to be insanity with people rushing to outrun access to title.
In MMM revitiliser mazes, what do the ranks next to the NMs in the list mean? All mine are rank 5. I keep doing the Ixion type NM and it doesn't move rank.
Do you need to do the others in the list to get all the lost runes? Or can all the lost runes drop from one NM?

Do we know where the BCNM entrance is? is it the standard dungeon BC zones like Jade Sepulcher? or is it some door in the middle of the beastmen's area? I ask because you need to farm KI's from mobs right... but you're in mamook farming KI's then you need to warp to get to Jade Sepulcher, because mamook doesn't connect directly to it. ...but then BG wiki says the KI's you need to farm "Disappear if you zone" There's very little info on these fights on BG-Wiki at least, and at least one hyperlink to it is broken Asura.Eiryl said: » You can remove all your meva and try to get charmed.

Maybe I can get a team together to All do this.. heh heh heh.... use the old wiki for old stuff

Has anyone seen a server lose since the changes? All 5 Generals needs to die in order for the seal to fall and the AC be taken. About a month ago I thought Bahamut was semi close to losing a fight because only 29 showed up to defend at the start of the fight, got to 53 by the end but it was not even close for the Lamia as only one General lost about 20% Hp and the rest full HP. I believe the Generals are just too strong now.
Also the best tool for killing players is not charm, it's Dread Spikes. So many people die to the troll NM that uses it. If only more NMs could cast that they might have a fighting chance to take a AC. The generals generally are unkillable, but perdition still drops them instantly.
Getting the ghosts onto the general to get perditioned, well you ahve to kill all the players in the way with charm. It's definitely a herculean task. May even take 5 or 6 besieges in a row where no one rescues prisoners. and some kiting shenanigans.

So all 5 generals need to die for the door to be accessible by the beastmen.... and they're OP so you need Death or a charmed player to kill them... but how do the Trolls win? Persistence, more or less.
Fish *** come and kill one. Then come again and kill another one. It takes 2-3 weeks of slow painful churn and no one rescuing prisoners. Then when the battle starts with only 1 general at 3 am and only 30 people show up, they win. Wait until the game is almost dead with <10 players online, let them win, then quickly go do BCNM.
There'll be no one to show off to, but you'll have your title at least. If life is an anime you get Isekai'd into Vanadiel and live out the rest of your days trying to create a harem of the most inappropriate NPCs. Dodik said: » If life is an anime you get Isekai'd into Vanadiel

Do you need to do the others in the list to get all the lost runes? Or can all the lost runes drop from one NM? but no one ever actually proved that when I asked some time back I think it's exactly that. 5 means you killed it.
Nms in there are strange as in they were thought to be killed through multiple attempts (they do not regen health between attempts) The way to test this would be to time out at 20-60% HP on the boss and leave, if someone hasn't already done all the NMs on some character.
(someone's got a box for that, surely!) Soloing Meeble Burrows, because all my friends are less sicko than I am.
It's theoretically possible to get 10 Self-Destructs solo in Batallia Downs Instructor 3 relatively easily (3 Djinn -> 1 Bomb between Djinn waves -> 3 Djinn -> 3 Djinn, since they respawn in 5 mins you get 3 waves in 15 mins)... but I can't get the damn Bombs to Self-Destruct. I know there's no guaranteed TP move trick like the Djinns have, but are the odds of Self-Destruct based on day or something? @LightningHelix nope its just a chance i got lucky with a friend helping me, go in on darkday or light day get djini to 10% and spam dia or bio. while other person tries to get the bombs to self destruct. its very rng to get it to happen took me 10 tries before we got lucky
The bomb one is so unreasonably hard to solo. The djinns are cake, the respawns mean you have to get bombs and feeding tp to regular bombs is such a crapshoot.
I paid some rando just to come along and double the speed. Gimmick weapons and pray. You can probably find someone that also needs it if you look.

I know there's no guaranteed TP move trick like the Djinns have, but are the odds of Self-Destruct based on day or something? Get the bomb to 25% - 10%, then spam dia. More TP moves after 25%, higher chance to get Self-Destruct at 105. I don't remember doing this, but removing subtle blow and AGI gear should help a little.
Diaga on lightsday and <25% HP for the bombs so you don't even have to think about the Djinn. It'll probably take something like 10-15 casts per bomb TP move without SB/AGI and you have maybe a 1/4 chance of self destruct. mmk, I will stick with the plan of "get one Bomb at the start, take it to 10% and then do all the Djinn while it beats on me, then go back to feeding Bomb TP, then repeat"
shame there's not a real trick, but thanks y'all just hit MR8 from leveling smithing from 14-19, then zoning. i doubt there's anything groundbreaking in here but posting just in case.
notably there's a few things i have little to barely any progress on: meebles, mazes, crafting, monstrosity, campaign ops, sheol a/b, general quests things i full-cleared: roes, missions, warps, magic/trusts/blue magic, JP/merits/combat skills, abyssea, voidwatch, fishing, VD HTBFs, adoulin quests

When you have both of them, a door will let you go to the area where there's more mobs leading to a unique BCNM entrance. For Trolls and Mamools, the door you can interact with teleports you to a completely separate map, for Undead the map is connected and you can walk through the door into the area if you want to go see it. The AC is chilling inside the arena, it's kinda neat. I haven't been able to get an answer on whether or not these are still 75-cap restricted or uncapped, if it's the former then it's a headache to clear and usually needs multiple groups whittling it down, but the latter then it would probably be cleared by the first person to solo enter it screwing the rest of the server out of the title lol. Just a completely *** system for those titles. I have a question about Rune 094 at MMM:
After roughly 100 runs (multiple chars) with this rune, i over and over get some specific runes like 51, 54, 56, 86, 88, 89 and 93. But i got zero hoardbox-runes e.g. 114-117. My question is, how does rune 094 work? Does the rune lock "common" runes or alike, does it open a group of rare runes + all/some other hoardbox-runes or its just bad luck so far? Advice would be appreciated! The lore is that 094 replaces the pool of hoardbox runes with a different pool, which you seem to have incidentally confirmed.
I'm not sure if it "replaces" the basic Rune poolbox or it "adds" the additional poolbox to the default one.
I can tell you I've got rune 117, rune 91 (and I think 85 and 86 too but I'm not 100% sure about those) doing Voucher 08 while Rune 94 was applied. I have no clue if 117 and 91 are classified as "rare" and so should be Rune94 specific, or if they are in the "common" pool. Regardless of that I can confirm I got them while 94 was installed. |
