I know you're all vanilla, but doesnt battlemod note when a synth is HQ 1 2 or 3?

Another update RE: the crafted gear. IMO the +2 gear will continue to be insanely priced for a long time, unless material costs go down significantly. It seems (I don't have an addon to confirm this) that the +2 ONLY comes from HQ3 synthesis results, not from HQ2. I've made 30 pieces of +1 so far and only 6 +2. These things are very, very rare even if you manage to get an HQ. It's nothing at all like +2 necks or Su5 weapons, for example.

Expect to use a ton of mats and have to sell a TON of +1 gear before getting your +2. If you're a buyer, expect to pay a lot.

7-7.2 mil per NM
killing 3 NM's filled the bar 25%

This is enough to make me care enough to do them so I'm not complaining too much. Just weighing it against the EXP loss which makes it a bit harsh.

Wow. Well I did ask for them to add any reward at all to these NMs. I guess this does count as a reward.

Hopefully they tweak this a bit. I'm fine with needing multiple NMs for a chest, but if it takes 10+ for 1 chest that seems too harsh.

All three of the automaton types having a little picnic together.

At what point does it cross over to mental illness?

For my haters, with love

513k! That is dedication!

Must watch for Windows / Microsoft haters

I personally feel like this was the kick to seriously consider switching Windows for a linux-variant.

We will see. If they keep worsening my life, my support for Microsoft products is over.

You're not looking at this wrong. The update was a very good reward/incentive to do the NMs... but on servers like ours it turns into "Be there at JP midnight or wait till next month. Sorry not sorry".

As for the basement NM's its even worse, because its less predictable when objectives get done. Also if you're unlucky enough not to get a main alliance seat you can kiss your progress goodbye... Also also; large servers have the problems of 'hero' morons with a 6 box not working with the majority of players for the NM fights, running in constantly aggroing and wiping when the alliances buffs arnt sorted or the party hasnt recovered... things like puppetmasters throwing their automatons at bound/sleeping mobs, just general chaos. It turns a 30-1hr fight into multiple, and hinders progress significantly.

All in all, the update was a massive step in the right direction, but the scaffolding the content was build on itself is flawed and needs significant updates still... here's hoping?

Yes, deal damage from behind. Using magic WS ensures your trust tank can hold hate.

I'm doing it on BLU so my magic bursts are limited to like once every 90 seconds anyway.

I don't know what job you use but there are plenty of videos on the first page for different jobs.

In the SCH video for example he does most damage with club WS, I think he uses seraph strike. He deals around 50% damage that way then gets charmed.
Afterwards he continues with primarily SCing and MBing with strategems, since trusts are dead he faces botulus from the front but still gets the chest at the end.

You just fighting it from behind? You bursting or just doing the SC? I've had bad luck with metal when doing magic bursts.

Omega on Bahamut is still up with 30%HP, because none want to kill adds, because they give no data points...
You can get like 4-5 chests in Temenos and Apollyon if you go participate in everything. Not that much, but still something. I missed almost everything too btw. I was working.

One of the more annoying months for both soloers and groups but for those wanting to take it on, the usual monthly video.

How it has always been though, just before it was per synth instead of 30min increments.
I never kept any result, and never demanded a tip. Ppl were generous sometimes when you pop them out a 180M item.

Personally I find this method more reasonable. Paid for your time, yet leaving all risk and reward to the 'buyer.'

How many NMs did you do per area? Sorry, the bolded statement isn't clear. Was it one NM or several?

just melee auto attacks

Does Hvergelmir's aftermath affect spells or only auto-attack swings?

So if the Roaming NMs and the basement sector NMs only spawn 1 time per monthly cycle it I feel like it kind of sucks for higher population servers.

On Bahamut I imagine all 8 daily NMs will be killed within a couple hours of JP midnight which would mean we have 6 days to get Unique Data for an entire monthly cycle. Same for the basement sectors. These objectives get filled pretty fast on Bahamut. Omega was already being killed today according to my LS discord server so there goes the Apollyon basement in terms of Unique Data collection for the rest of the monthly cycle. Does this sound about right to anyone else or am I looking at this wrong?

Make their HP zero

Keep your HP above zero

What did you get from the chest? Was it the same reward as opening the chest after getting all of the temp items?

Oof, thanks I hate it

whats the strat?

I think i remember someone saying we did 10-12m as an alliance last night (and got a full set of data). Posted this in the limbus thread. That was about 2.5 or so CN NMs' worth of health, give or take.

Dang, why Youtube recommended the same video Eirynil recommended???

Anyone have an estimated parse of what the CN NM's have for HP?

I believe the fomor's have around 7 mil HP, but I'd have to double check it. This might also vary by job (ie: MNK would have more)
