Sortie Release - Info

Its probably kill NM in some time frame after killing Fomors around it (same as killing around Bitzer with a twist). Maybe thats why someone reported getting chest after killing all fomors in zone earlier. They probably just killed fomors around NM last.

That would makes sense. My first chest was same deal since I cleave that zone and it was in the very back (last set of enemies).

Killing all 4 basement lesser NM's (Botulus, Ixion, Naraka, Tulittia) + touching the #? Gadget awards a brown chest that gives the Ra'Kaznar Seal (the metal for Aminon). The Seal appears to do the following:

-Significantly lessens his enrage mechanic at the 4 minute mark (Bane of Tartarus)
-Removes the dispel effect from Incessant Void
-Prevents Impudence/Eternal Misery from having an unremovable 5-second Doom

For the A magic kill chests, do we know if Ninjutsu works, or does it have to be elemental magic?

Ninjutsu works.

Perfect, thanks!

Got sapphire, old box, and eikondrite from a single chest (aurum coffer from the first 4 NM). Got a total of 4 eikondrite from blue chests in the first 4 areas in a single run.

If it's that common, and can be traded/sold on AH, I expect one of the Prime Weapon stages to be something like "Collect 5,000 Eikondrites".

edit: oh, it's EX, didn't realize. Thought someone said it could be sold. Hm. Maybe they remove that tag later.

Eikondrites are Ex, so unless they change that later we can't sell/trade them.

PSA: Having only a stage 2 prime weapon in your possession prevents eikondrites from dropping in Sortie. You must have a stage 1 prime weapon specifically in order for them to drop. Missed out on 2 last run since I only had my upgraded h2h while other party members still had stage 1.

so if you have 2 stage 2 and 1 stage 1 can it still drop?

Today had 1 stage 1, 1 stage 2, walked away from a run with 4 eiko stones. Contemplating making another base level prime for no other reason than to collect stones in case they made a mistake locking out stage 2 from gathering more in the off chance they're required later. They stack to 99 which makes less sense if these are a 1 off upgrade item since 2 stacks of 12 would cover enough stones for every prime.

I think they are trying to mimic 14 at this point

Bane of Tartarus does ~400-600 dmg if you have the Seal, no instant KO. Instead it full dispels you, takes food (not reraise) and encumbers you for 30 seconds, going by lute's latest streams. It also damages the Seal's remaining durability quite a lot.

What do fetters have to do with 14?

Positional limitations apposed upon the battle field.
Granted, that's a minor thing compared to all the daily only content and other various things.


So anyone kill the new boss yet...?

Hardly any groups can even access the thing. Barely anyone has bothered with the H boss because he's freakin annoying and there hasn't been a good reason to bother with him. And from what we saw in Lute's video the final boss has a whole mess of mechanics we have to figure out how to deal with. It's pretty safe to say the answer to that is "no".

Pick a weapon for a job that you want to be able to cancel sleep from it's damage tick and just tuck it away in a wardrobe


Gotta Pandy Warden occasionally to remind people what game they're playing.

This is most likely a dumb question, but doesn't hurt to ask. Does anyone know if Dhartok enrages at a certain time limit?

Anybody knows the average HP of Fomors in the D section of Sortie? The Demisang ones.
And how many of them are there? At a rough guess I'd say around 70?

I believe its 91 Formors. I don't know HP wise.

87 fomors + 1NM. The fomors have roughly 200k-230k HP

What is the best way to clear all the Fomors? SC/MB, AE/Cleave them?

Just form a normal party. Support, healer, DDs. make sure you have some form of buffs to cap haste, I have heard of PUGs timing out, which is kind of hard to imagine. You can cleave them if your tank is good enough to hold hate, but simply killing them one by one zerg style like a leveling party works find as well, specially if you don't bring a tank.

my experience for reference:
Several BLUs & support.
buff up with EVA+, enemy atk-, and pull 12~15 at a time at most.
In my nuke set which has 45pdt I'd get slapped in an attack round to near 50% if they all hit me.
We finished in <30min w/ 2 blu's. Pop'd wisdom on groups of 15.

I'd say malaise+wilt /whm to curaga spam.
pld & nin* rolls (we used blm & refresh but def+eva is probably safer)
mambo x2, ballad, march
cocoon up, keep up aquaveil and nuke them to hell. probably every other entomb recast aquaveil so you don't get caught w/o it.
Could have the others AE, however I'd prefer fewer people who can break entomb by being slow to realize it's one that's being used to buy time for rebuffs.
remember these are not undead so you can magic hammer the mages. the ballad's mostly for the geo.
Our 6th was sch, but if you can get outside sch buffs, you could probably just replace it w/ a 3rd blu to make things even faster.
