Next R/M/E Update

I trioed 20-25 floors regularly in NI too. There's no particular secret to it. Set up your lamp strategy before you go in, everyone bring S/I, and everyone splits up when you zone in to each floor.

As far as making gil, do Dynamis and Salvage. 120 Alexandrite average in an hour in Arrapago II is about 1mil/hr. Dynamis is maybe 400 currency in 2 hours, which is also about 1mil/hr. After that, doing Yorcia Delve runs is good gil if you have a group for it. You can low man (6 or fewer) it pretty easily and it drops about 2mil in items and 110k Plasm (500k). If you have good DDs, you can finish a run in 15 minutes, which works out to about 3mil/hr even assuming you bring a full 6 people.

The NA community is facing something of a crisis as more hardcore players that just want to put in their hours and chip away at events are forced to interact with / get frustrated by more casual players who want to log in and experience each type of content once. These two groups used to be able to avoid each other, but our community is constricting and now they interact. This is not fun for either group.


If it makes you feel any better, I play mythic DNC, RME BRD, Idris GEO, RME PLD and mythic BLM and still can't get invited to most JP events. There's approximately one NA shout event every other night at best on Lakshmi, so this is kind of an issue. I basically have nothing to do in game (not that I have time to do it, but theoretically).

The bolded is a BIG time waster if you go in the same direction. My group has the 2 DD head out while the BRD stays at lamp for going up quickly.

The majority of the time lamp floors will only have sneak aggro mobs. Use a sneak oil, or be adept at being able to trigger a lamp without getting "event skipped" message. One person should be in charge of telling everyone else what to do on Order lamps. Hopefully, Machini, you have someone in your group that has a logical mind. When someone gets to a lamp they type "1", then the next person types "2" when they get a lamp. and so on. If someone has more than one lamp, they need to not be retarded and remember which one is "3" and which one is "4". After a few seconds the lamps will either stay on or go off. Everyone needs to say "1 on", "2 off", "3 off", etc. I prefer if people type it out just in case someone does something stupid like not go when they are supposed to go and i have the evidence in chatlog to bitch them out. Once you tell them the new revised order (shift everything over by one, but making sure that if any were on they stay in that position) each person will type "/" to let people know they have gone. For Same Time lamps hit it as soon as you find one and keep going, but remember where it was. If others don't get theirs as fast you might have to backtrack once they do get theirs. If yours goes off, make sure you tell them so you guys aren't playing the "out of synch" game.

Everyone in your group should have movement speed + gear.

When going through the floors that are overly large you will go from room to room that is in a Z shape on one side (longer path) and the other path of the room just goes around the outside wall (faster path). Adjacent rooms alternate which side the Z shape is on. 99/100 the "impossible to gauge" mobs you are looking to kill are not going to be in the inner part of the Z shape room and so you can go on the outside of that Z shape room and onto a side room.


Any other questions about mythic making, just ask.
