Yes, deal damage from behind. Using magic WS ensures your trust tank can hold hate.
I'm doing it on BLU so my magic bursts are limited to like once every 90 seconds anyway.
I don't know what job you use but there are plenty of videos on the first page for different jobs.
In the SCH video for example he does most damage with club WS, I think he uses seraph strike. He deals around 50% damage that way then gets charmed.
Afterwards he continues with primarily SCing and MBing with strategems, since trusts are dead he faces botulus from the front but still gets the chest at the end.

You just fighting it from behind? You bursting or just doing the SC? I've had bad luck with metal when doing magic bursts.

Omega on Bahamut is still up with 30%HP, because none want to kill adds, because they give no data points...
You can get like 4-5 chests in Temenos and Apollyon if you go participate in everything. Not that much, but still something. I missed almost everything too btw. I was working.

One of the more annoying months for both soloers and groups but for those wanting to take it on, the usual monthly video.

How it has always been though, just before it was per synth instead of 30min increments.
I never kept any result, and never demanded a tip. Ppl were generous sometimes when you pop them out a 180M item.

You know I’ve always thought of it as Rent a Shield, Airbnb shield. Have always accepted payment per synth. But actually after reading some comments gave a good idea. Easier just to charge by the Activation of the shield, all u want 30mins for 10M. Thanks for the input. I’ll craft and try whatever for 30min you keep whatever results.
Thanks.
Personally I find this method more reasonable. Paid for your time, yet leaving all risk and reward to the 'buyer.' |

Did Apollyon and Temenos NMs last night. Ended up with just over a bar of data after each area.
How many NMs did you do per area? Sorry, the bolded statement isn't clear. Was it one NM or several? |
|

just melee auto attacks

Does Hvergelmir's aftermath affect spells or only auto-attack swings?

So if the Roaming NMs and the basement sector NMs only spawn 1 time per monthly cycle it I feel like it kind of sucks for higher population servers.
On Bahamut I imagine all 8 daily NMs will be killed within a couple hours of JP midnight which would mean we have 6 days to get Unique Data for an entire monthly cycle. Same for the basement sectors. These objectives get filled pretty fast on Bahamut. Omega was already being killed today according to my LS discord server so there goes the Apollyon basement in terms of Unique Data collection for the rest of the monthly cycle. Does this sound about right to anyone else or am I looking at this wrong?

Make their HP zero
Keep your HP above zero

Did Apollyon and Temenos NMs last night. Ended up with just over a bar of data after each area. Was one main alliance and just a few others participating. . . so basically there is a bar and change of Unique Data in there to be split among the participants. One very notable thing is you get no progress while dead which is unfortunate given the design choices of these NMs. The little 0 at the end of "Unique Data" flipped to 1. Took that data to a chest and indeed I was able to open a chest without the temporary items and had already opened 5 chests this week. The 1 at the end of my "Unique Data" bar flipped back to a 0. It's unclear if the Mannequin NMs will give data, but one preliminary report on Twitch of somebody doing 15% damage to one did not see a single pixel in their Unique Data bar but more information is needed.
What did you get from the chest? Was it the same reward as opening the chest after getting all of the temp items? |

Oof, thanks I hate it

Oh yeah, this ones up
A pup friendly one whats the strat? |

I think i remember someone saying we did 10-12m as an alliance last night (and got a full set of data). Posted this in the limbus thread. That was about 2.5 or so CN NMs' worth of health, give or take.

Anyone have an estimated parse of what the CN NM's have for HP?
I believe the fomor's have around 7 mil HP, but I'd have to double check it. This might also vary by job (ie: MNK would have more)

Yeah I'm going with the JP twitter post's expectations. It looks like you'll need to kill about 10 NMs (or deal enough damage on 10 NMs) to get enough Unique Data to open one chest.
I read the update notes to mean the progress bar at max was 10 chests. Who knows though
It probably is, because the points never reset, but it's not 10/wk. Just you get cumulative points so you can make progress towards extra boxes throughout the course of a VU month. |

I'm pretty sure thats a 0 at the end. |

If killing one NM lets your entire party open one chest, sign me up when they fix the DT issue.

Laziest man alive: Anyone know the minimum distance to walk for chocobo digging? I know you [allegedly?] have to move after a successful dig to have another successful dig.
IIRC 3.5 yalms but I don't know why I think that. In practice, what it means is that you can lock into walk mode, auto-run, and as long as you don't get stuck you'll be able to dig more items. |

Dyna-D campaign only applies to the instance, not the shared area, correct? Theres nothing mentioned in the campaigns page but I'm pretty sure I remember reading something like that? I can't recall them ever saying that, for what it's worth. Moreover, the double value from squadron enemies for +3 unlocks seems tailor made for the shared area. |
