I have my attestation and fragment but do not see myself completing. Ever. No one on my server even tries the new dynamis. I've been the only group from time to time going around and killing shit and seeing ZERO coins. We want our old dynamis back. Now.

I'll take one coin per mob, on average.

I like the ability that, if you're careful, you can now solo in Dynamis.

But what I don't like is this zero coins BS. Even got a time extension in Xarcabard and still didn't drop crap.

You guys must be doing it wrong.

Signet + NIN/DNC or THF/DNC

Spend one hour inside beau where the yagudo MNK nm used to spawn. Spam kill gobs until nm pops. Kill NM. Repeat.

An easy ~200 coins a run.

I really like the Dynamis changes. They have breathed new life into a stale event. It's a lot of fun to go in and figure out new things. Kudos SE.

That's right, Square-Enix: You intend to eradicate all coins out of Dynamis so we who have been trying to at least make some forward progress to a relic can go to Hell?

Yeah, it'll increase the coin access throughout the world -- for whom, may I dare ask?

But now you can solo Dynamis, and since you don't trust anyone in the game this seems ideal.

All with TH7, Not 100% drop rate, or near it :(

Laaame! All the groups I'd heard from on Day 1 had a 100% drop rate on the 100s from NMs in Xarc, never tried other zones. :(

We went to dynamis beaucidine last night with nin/war, thf/nin/, and smn/whm all level 90. th 5. got 12 af drops, and at least 5 small currancy drops off of the goblins. I thought it went pretty well.

I'd wait and give it a decent chance before I say yay or nae to the new Dynamis. I'm not really suprised the drop rate on currency has diminished so much, being that 5 times the people will likely enter a day from small parties to soloists, our entry per week has multiplied by 3.5, and thers no longer the 500k fee I think it about averages out. At the very least DL seems to be easily popped now.

while we were to busy getting a feel for dyna last night to have any currency comlaints our LS generally had 1 issue,the enemies were respawning way to fast.we got stuck in an area in dyna bastok because the enemies were respawning faster than we could take old ones out.

Ok, questions and comments from someone who's just soloed and duo'd in new dynamis a bit:

First, I'm confused about the NMs. Are they force pop, time pop, mix? People are talking about spamming NMs and getting tons of 100s. But I thought NMs were force pop? Is that only some of them? Which aren't? How much stronger are they than the normal mobs?

If 100s really are that common off NMs, then I can understand currency essentially never dropping off normal mobs. That's a fair exchange. If, however, the NM drop rates are being exaggerated, then I think, as others have been saying, that an average drop rate of 1/mob is appropriate, and should be implemented.

Second, according to wiki, dynamis now has weakness targeting. SE, I humbly ask you to PLEASE reconsider this decision. Abyssea has been a huge success and we're all happy with it, but PLEASE keep abyssea in abyssea. One of the things that makes FFXI so enjoyable is the diversity of different game mechanics and the differences in strategy that they entail. You've already brought Abyssea out into the world with Voidwalkers. Can you just leave it at that? I don't want want to have to blue !! valkurm emperor to get a hairpin, and I don't want to have to yellow !! all my dynamis mobs for currency. It is an abyssea mechanic, and it should stay there. Abyssea brought new life into the game, and we're all grateful for it, but don't interpret its success as a sign that the entire game needs to be exactly like it.

i am having a riot atm getting lots of relic pieces to finish sets to store 11 pieces yesterday and today not including ones the rest of group got
did seem to almost always drop currency on procs with seemed to really vary how to proc seen it drop on weapon skills and job abilities and each time was different but always seemed to drop currency when did so lol staggering mobs in dynamis made me laugh first time
