Hamlet Defence: Information thread.

[Jynx]

Just thought it would be a good idea to post information for the DoH/DoL. To help them when attempting this fight with their group. Also possibly some party setups that have won and what those groups did to win.

I'll post what I know and hopefully others will post what they know so we can have the full list. Just a quick gathering of what I've seen so far I'd love to know the rest of the combinations but I'm fighting server congestion and need sleep. I'll update the OP with the information in the thread tomorrow.

DoL Combos.

• 3 Red: Attack down
• 3 Green: Sleep
• 3 Blue: Enemy HP down
• 1 of each: Emnity reset

DoH Combos.

• • CRP/BSM/ARM
  Musked Pavis = Reduces Enmity of nearby Militia Soldiers
  Spiked Pavis = Increases Attack Power of nearby Militia Archerss
  Blessed Pavis = Grants Regen to all nearby Militia Laborers
  Fortified Pavis = Increases Defense and Evasion of all nearby Militia Members
  
  
  • GSM/LTW/WVR
  Musked Decoy = Reduces Enmity of all nearby Militia Members
  Spiked Decoy = Increases Attack Power of nearby Militia Archers
  Blessed Decoy = Grants Regen to all nearby Militia Laborers
  Reinforced Decoy = Increases Defense and Evasion of all nearby Militia Members
  
  
  • ALC/CUL
  Musked Rations = Reduces Enmity of all Militia Members that consume one
  Spiked Rations = Increases Attack Power of all Militia Members that consume one
  Blessed Rations = Grants Regen to all Militia Members that consume one
  Fortified Rations = Increases Defense and Evasion of all Militia Members that consume one

Party setups and tips.


Warrior Heavy parties tend to preform well, due to AOE attacks and large HP pools. Be sure to grab any monsters that are chasing your DoL/DoH members as they can and will get agro.

The more points the more item rewards you can get at once not always a guarantee though. (Unknown if higher scores tend to get better drops or just increased chances at drops.)
1-9999 points = 1 drop
10k+ = 2 drops

*Thanks BG for list of DoH items and effects, and rewards list*

Duration

It appears that the hamlet battles rotate between supply and battle phase meaning that there will always be one hamlet undergoing defense phase.

Yay!

[Magnesium02]

from the NPC

Three pots of sanguine humours will lower enemy attack power. (Red)
Three pots of phlegmatic humours will lower enemy HP. (Blue)
Three pots of melacholic humours will induce sleep. (Green)


Militia Quartermaster Dhebi Polaali: Pots of humours can be found in the alchemical supply caches located around the hamlet. Be sure to exercise the utmost caution when handling said items, for they are extremely fragile!

[Urthdigger]

Some information on rewards: There's a 50 point "balanced party bonus" which seems to be from having at least one DoW, DoM, DoL, and DoH. Each time you do a debuff using DoL, you get 10 points, doing each debuff at least once gives 150. Same thing goes for the buffs from DoH. Quite obviously, you get plenty of points from keeping the front line intact: Every NPC alive, every line unbreached, every supply crate still there, plus a bonus for not losing anyone at all. You get 3000 for "Provisioner Present", which seems to be from having someone who's in the top 20 in your party. You also get 1500 for killing the stray fauna (a lemur running around) and another 1500 for defeating the beast of burden (Wolf in the last wave).

As far as strategy goes, I've found it helps to have the DoH focus on buffing the defense of your NPCs, DoL focus on lowering monster attack and HP, and have your healer take the time to buff and cure the NPCs. Your regen DOES stack with theirs (They don't receive it as an individual status), plus your protect stacks with their defense buff. NPCs are quite capable of tanking when buffed, but it can be a good idea to have some capable WARs to try and take the mobs down quick, and if you're lucky tank a few.

[Anima]

My Party has won pretty swiftly with this setup, no Casualties and it went smooth.
We really owe it to the DoL!
(I wanna see all the different setups people use!)

Lv.2 Hamlet Defense
PT Setup was [4 WAR 1 WHM 2 DoL]
Debuffs used: ATK Down (Survival) & Poison (Quick Kill)


-Take enemies off the DoH/L If they get hate.
-Buff the Militia Defend Lines, and Cure them whenever needed.
-Get as much enemies grouped. AoE is your friend.
-Take enemies off Militia Defenders If they're getting too much hit.
-Just the wave before the NM spawns, try to kill/reduce the HP of the mobs quick.
-Once the NM pops, Kill him as quick as you can, before more monsters spawn.
-Have One or Two of your WAR take enemies off Supplement NPCs/DoH/L If they wander
around.

This is how my Party did it~

P.S
One thing I'm curious of is the L50 Lemur that pops at the start of the Battle and
L50 Scout Wolf that spawns before NM appears. Anyone know what happens If we kill them?

BG Also has Informations on Hamlet Defense, although I haven't read much.

Updated with some information thanks guys.

[Frein]

How are we supposed to know which phase is going on? I don't feel like trecking all the way to the middle of nowhere (Hyrstmill) just to find out.

[Gramul]

What do you actually win from this thing?

[Jynx]

Updated OP with a list of the millitia gear (possible rewards) also you can receive the ever present lump of coal...Dark matter and some fireworks.

[Arcell]

Someone in our party was in the Top 20 and on the first run we won they got a Militia Wristlet. I'm wondering if you HAVE to be in the Top 20 to get a Militia piece or if you just have a higher chance. I did notice there was a 2k or so point boost from having a Provisioneer present (assuming this to be someone in the top 20).

Edit:

How are we supposed to know which phase is going on? I don't feel like trecking all the way to the middle of nowhere (Hyrstmill) just to find out.

It would be really helpful if someone set up a timer widget or something for this. Something that shows which phases we're currently in.

[TheVedis]

Got something new for you


1-9999 points = 1 drop
10k+ = 2 drops


im counting of course the dark matter drops since thats obviously where the items will fall in if they come. ive seen this pattern a few times now
