JSE Neck/Weapon augment points.

Yeah there's still PLENTY to do. In addition to all of the good suggestions Maletaru mentioned, there's also a large chunk of the most current content that doesn't require a perfectly tuned party operating at maximum endgame efficiency.

I don't do the Sortie static grind myself, in large part due to unwillingness to schedule a daily. I've accepted I don't care to make a St4+ Prime, I'm mainly using Sortie just for Empy armor upgrades and NQ/+1 earrings. But I'll still go in sometimes with friends not at a set schedule for some points, I'll dualbox some objectives and NMs sometimes, etc. You don't have to have a group that starts up with 8 bosses as a baseline expectation: do a ONE BOSS run, get used to the event and improve a bit and bump that up to a TWO BOSS run.

You can still make a bunch of money doing Vol.1 Ambu on N or D if you don't have a group able to take out VD (got 3 people and a couple trusts? you can still clear ambu).

Go do Odysssey A/B/C for some segments/gil/exp, even if you aren't doing "optimal" full clears.

Group up with whoever is around for a low stress Limbus climb.

Make a JP/Exemplar party. Contrary to popular belief here, there are tons of players who don't bot. You could even be one of them and BS with a couple friends while you beat on Apex mobs.

I personally still like cranking out more REMAs, where basically everything but the harder Aeonic NMs = soloable content. Gonna finish a goal of at least 1 RME weapon for every job in the game between my two characters, once I wrap up a Murgleis in 2026.

Then why no wave 3, which offer even more RP?

I guess it depends on what the timer for the zone is. Hard set to around 60 minutes, I doubt many unorganized groups would be able to make it to W3. It makes sense for this to have personal drops, thinking it's basically a mirror of Non-Divergence Dynamis (minus the proc system).

In reality, I see this new dynamis entry as an interesting way to recruit new friends to team up with. Join a few runs solo and see a others solo - "Hey, wanna just join up and make this easier?"
Before you know it, you have 3-6 real players and can do it regularly.

Probably because you're not going to solo wave 3 with trusts

Youre not gonna solo wave 2 with trusts either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're also not gonna beat the wave 2 boss with trusts. So if there's enough cooperation to beat wave 2, then presumably the same people could defeat wave 3 mobs.

The point is that people are cooperating with the wider scale group of whoever is in the zone - similar to WKR, Domain Invasion, Besieged (wouldn't be surprising if the Besieged level increases are in part due to the devs wanting to implement more fights for anyone in the zone to participate whether they are in parties or not).

Feels to me more like they just don't want to add wave 3 because wave 1 and 2 is perceived as already doing enough to meet the goals of letting people farm upgrade items and RP.

Sounds like the shared zone can last up to 24 hours (shorter if all wave 2 bosses are killed), and I don't think you'll be able to return if you exit ...so maybe we'll see Dynamis Divergence mules selling items for people to buy meds while they're in the shared instance for however link they want to be there, haha.

I doubt it just spawns every 24 hours. More likely, they have a cycle where it begins every 2 hours at a preset time. You enter, you get the time until the next reset to be present.

24 hours is just the player lockout.

It sounded like every day at 9am this zone is open in bastok.

If you miss it you miss it.

Not an always open but youre locked out.

All 4 zones will open at different times, but you can only enter one of them per jpmidnight

My guess is it will operate similar to Ballista of old. Matches would start at the turn of every other day (Earth, Wind, Ice, Dark) and last throughout the entirety of that day (53ish minutes Earth Time). They'll likely pull the old trick of "use existing code, put it over here".

I am sure it is different on Phoenix but on Asura there is little to no cooperation for any of these events. If someone shouts for help with a WKR, usually people just show up and smash it on their own with their own trusts. In Domain Invasion, it's actually better the fewer people there are and nobody is partying up for it, I don't even see party shouts for Mireu. I do see people shout for party in Besieged, but I imagine the majority of players just solo Savage Blade spam for five minutes until the event ends and they receive capped points. So while the intent might be for players to cooperate to clear the zone together, I don't think the reality is necessarily going to meet the intent.

What if I told you this is the efficient way to do WKR and DI/Mireu?
