Arch Dynamis lords difficultly.

[Monchat]

Emphasis mine. How exactly are the secondary characters getting into Dynamis, getting the time extensions, unless they are on a separate account?

They dont need the TE. bring there @ADL and use wildcard.

I shouldn't have to spend all that time getting access for alts.

Its not needed, it's an alternative. You still have the choice to go with *only* 12 and pop 6 ADL every 3 days, or with 18 and pop 12 with 50% chance or 6 with 100% chance (wether you PD all your DDs or half of them). You also have the choice to gather 3 friends with *alts* and pop one every 2 days, with 50% luck.

On another note, I already gave up on farming umbral for money. I had one in bazar the whole week for 50Millions, then I realized other people were already busy undercuttin each other, selling as low as 30M. It takes 4 runs to farm one umbral on average (counting the 50% chance at win and COR's fail 2Hr) , thats already 20Millions gil loss (*) from not doing currency farming. Add to that it will take at least 1 week to sell thus leading to massive undercutting if other people do the same. I refuse to sell for less than 50mil lol, but there are alliances of 18 out there that think 30millions divided bu 18 is good money.

Edit: (*) 20Mil loss is a lower bound actually. If 6 BST do dynamis for 4 days straight, they get at least 250x6x4=6000coins=40+millions, ignoring forgotten items. If you play with alts like me, Idont have time to do 6 runs every day I only do 2 and that's 4x5=2000 coins + the forgotten items= 20Mil+.

logout mules @ trial marking
- enter with mains chars, kill ADL
- -logout "main"SMN, login SMN mule, enter run to pop PD (doesnt take 1h)
or
- -logout a job that dont need 2h reset, login cor mule, run to pop hope 2h reset

I don't care what anyone says; leveling an alternate character should not ever be a viable strategy for defeating a boss encounter in any game, especially a game that allows you to level all jobs anyway. That's fucking stupid. If I ever found out that SE had that in mind when developing this fight I'd get a passport, fly to Japan and shove a crystal down someone's throat.

I shouldn't have to spend all that time getting access for alts. I should not and I will not. Fix this shit please SE.

obviously you're just mad because you're not playing the best job in the game, mnk. Mnk doesn't need healing, its the chuck norris of the ffxi world~~~~~~~

Especially a game that allows you to level multiple characters ? I don't get it. Mules are there to be what they are : other characters. It's your choice for not using the extra 1$ you pay per month. Beside all serious allies doing ADl do it lol, otherwise poping 2 ADL only per run as an ally is pretty stupid.

2 Level 75 SMN mules with Alexander access, from scratch, will take 4 weeks minimum due to the weekly resets in TAU. And that's if you just walk right into Al Zhabi and spam quests. I'm not saying it's hard, I'm saying you're a moron for saying its easy.

There are no weekly reset in ToAU missions. Getting Alexader is a matter of as many days as there are JP midnight wait time. But we got your point, it's hard because you cannot have it right now and have to work 7 days for it. hahaha. lol at the 4 weeks...

[Apelila]

Sigh. My bad, it is a JP midnight and not a conquest reset as I remembered.

You are still silly for suggesting that leveling a job to 30, getting access to TAU, completing all missions up to rank 6, unlocking and re leveling the support jobs, completing TAU with a friend since you can't possibly duo it yourself on a job that you're just leveling, and getting the summon for the secondary character will take a week.

It might take a week if you do absolutely nothing else. Speaking from experience as I've starting leveling a mule to leave in sky for a Bazaar, you're delusional. Or you did nothing but play that character for 12 hours a day for a week straight. I'm curious who in your group was sad enough to do that for this task, or who had enough free time to help you. Since as you've said, you don't have a secondary account, so you couldn't possibly have powered leveled yourself on the second character.

Just another Abyssea raised noob that throws bodys at ADL spammed daily, pay him no mind.

You don't get it because you have problems grasping simple concepts. You are allowed to level every job so that pretty much removes the necessity to play multiple characters because you can access everything with only one. You can avoid having to do all the tedious quests, missions, ect. It's not just about the dollar, it's the time needed to do things several times for multiple characters. That might be fine for some people, but it is ridiculous to suggest that as a viable strategy for clearing content so you can kill that noise.

Mules are there to be what they are : other characters.

A mule is typically used to carry shit you'd rather not. Other general uses include being positioned to purchase from vendors or access something that you'd rather not go out of your way to get. They are usually left at low levels without the need to progress the character since you can already do that with your main.

Beside all serious allies doing ADl do it lol, otherwise poping 2 ADL only per run as an ally is pretty stupid.

I couldn't agree more, but that doesn't suggest that you should have to go out of your way to do it. It suggests that there is a problem with the development and implementation of the event. You pretty much made my point for me.

I don't have any issue with ADL being difficult, although I could do without the luck involved in the 'pray you pick the right clone' game. Making your own clone to do your dirty work is your prerogative, but it's a result of poor development. People are so lazy these days. Crap like this is the exact reason RMT exists. People would rather go AFK and pay someone else to do it for them than actually participate themselves. Sad and probably a large part of the reason why the population is dwindling.

[Tinuviel]

Move ADL to abyssea - paradox so we can brew him!

second spharai of the LS ; 1/5 on Ghorn.




We pretty much figured a way for a 100% win on the first clone making us 50%+ win rate. ADL's AI changes from GOD to Ikillyou under roughly 10%, since it appears that the first clone has very high chance to spam Tera slash and Dynamic implosion at this point (while it favors dynamic ruptur and aoe drain prior to 50% for instance, ad well as the other weak ones ; also the next clones will change from -ga3 to -ga4 and death). The first split is governed by the 50% HP limit, the only reason you can bring it below is if he uses a spell or a WS around this time (also it can split prior to 50% if it uses violent rupture). <40% means triple clones. Once it is split, just melee it to ~ 15% at which point the SMN does shock squall for stun and the 4 monks use a 300% TP victory smite together. With this strategy only multiple tera slash can wipe you (which it can use at any time but favors under 50%).
