Sortie Release - Info

We have a SAM hold hate and 2 cors leaden saluting it down only time we didnt get the chest was when one of the characters didnt do anything on the Botulus. We even had the SAM get charmed murder half the party and still get the chest.

Here recently when I go cor for the botulus I've hit with the distrotion to leaden and it looks at me, then I just pump it full of leadens. Tank gets it back after a bit and when it goes down, we always get a chest.

The running theory with our group is you need to do 50% or more WS dmg (not SC dmg) to it to make the box drop.

Doubt this is it as we generally have 3 people magic bursting. Last Stand does crap on him and TF can only do 99,999. It's not that. Our method we do *maybe* ~230,000 in WS damage and he easily has more than 500k HP.

As for the Ixion, has anyone tried pumping straight Crit rate into a WS set and trying Crit WS from the front?

I know Crits (melee) has been tried, but I haven't seen any mention of Crit WSs as that is how another of the Ixion NMs works.

Sup

The coffer B1 seems incomplete on BG.

It says that we need to kill 3 burne foes in less than 30 secs.

Butt i killed like way more than that with 2 BPs skillchain followed by burst when necessary (so way less than 30 secs).

I actually didnt have problem with this one before, but today it didnt work.

What i did different was first trying elemental then doing the kills with umbril.

Its 30 seconds from aggro.

Always has been.

Well, i tried again this objective yesterday, and didnt get the chest reward after 3 kills (in less tham 30s).

Then i purposelly aggroed an umbril before killing, then after the kill the. coffer popped. At the 4th kill

What mobs did you kill

Unless something bizarre changed in the last patch, it sounds like one of your kills didn't register for whatever reason. It happens.

We used to do 5x fire elemental kills for B shard every run and reliably got Casket B1 every time, just sometimes not until the 4th or 5th kill. No Umbrils required.

I’m seeing talk of farming runs resulting in 8/8 bosses and 65k muffins per run. Does anybody have a video documenting this type of success or at the very least a rough outline on how this is being achieved? I’m all ears for any advice on how to shave off time or be more efficient for muffin centric farming with a group of 6.

This video is 7 months old but...


• All 8 Sortie Room Bosses killed in the same run (Gunslingers)— 10/31/22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaON2WGMmYI&ab_channel=etherue

You can net more than 66k if u add Aminon into the mix. (goal would be 3 NMS--->Aminon--->3 basement NMs but we do not have that recorded afaik.

Not sure if the above is the strat people are doing, but it gives an option and it has video if that's what you're into. Seems most people are doing some variation of:
DHABCEFG. Do only the objectives you need to do to get the shards (and metal if needed for the boss). I have a feeling the best groups aren't doing metals for many/any of the bosses, since pretty much none of them are essential if you have fast kills.

Much appreciated. Thank you Maletaru and Lexouritis.

You don't need metal for A/E/B/F for sure. You need for C and G, because several minutes cure will slow your movement too much.
Not sure about D/H. Haven't done much of them.

For C I don't think it's as important, but for G it can make a huge difference. That said you get G anyway since you're killing the Naraka in most of these types of runs.

Our group always gets cg medals because running around with that curse is annoying. We also always get a because we do a and b at the same time, and it’s easy to kill 6 acuexes in the time it takes to kill 5 elementals.

We also get E, mostly because we are also building seal on non aminon runs.

Our path is weird, we do D > H > B (with A obj) > A > C > G > F > E (seal)

As we've been trying to fit Mega Boss into our 8 Boss runs we run with;

SCH/DRK RDM/DRK RUN/DRK BLM/DRK GEO/DRK COR/SAM

On entry -> Samurai Roll
SCH & RDM -> C
COR -> B
BLM -> A
GEO & RUN -> D

As the SCH RDM COR BLM finish their obj's they just meet up at D and help finish that obj up if it's not already. Usually finish this and are at D boss within 6-7min.

We don't use Monks roll on any of the bosses except the Mega Boss. Generally just Wizards and call it a day.

D boss -> H mid -> H boss (SCH Tab COR cutting) -> Leave.

A boss -> B boss -> C boss (CC Bolters when C is dead, we don't get the item to avoid Haunt.)

G mid -> G boss (SCH open stone -> RDM Red Lotus Blade -> SCH close Thunder -> RDM Savage Blade -> RUN Dimi* [switch ups may be needed as TP wipe is a thing here, but we also do this on C boss as well.]) -> Ignore 30 second wait time for chest and leave.

F mid -> F Boss (SCH tab if back up or RDM cdc -> Cor wildfire [If tab RDM pops chainspell to burst.])

E mid (get seal if we feel we're too low on time, unless the bitzer to leave is near that area then we just get it after)-> E boss (SCH open stone -> RDM Red Lotus Blade -> SCH close Thunder -> RDM Savage Blade -> RUN Dimi*) -> hopefully mega boss.

We're currently within like a 2minute window of feeling comfortable with going to the mega boss, just need to tighten a few more things.

Best time on mega boss we've had is 9:16 at this time [from buff wipe on RUN to starting the actual fight]

*Bitzer and mid boss placement is also a factor here.

**RDM and SCH getting the item to avoid Haunt may shave the time needed, but generally doesn't feel worth the time when a crooked bolters mostly makes up for the speed loss.

*Edited

The only comment I'd add is that you might be able to speed things up by going with fewer mage jobs on /drk. We run with 3 (sch, geo, rdm) and don't have any issues keeping TP low.

I'm a big supporter of the C/G metal myself becuase of the slowdown from Curse, but I found out you can negate it completely if you have a +8 Rostam and save Crooked Card for Bolter's Roll right after C/G.

Not sure what to make out of this. Is it wise to save Crooked Card for Bolter, to save time by skipping the Naraka or the additional 3 undead kills after 1 mb?

Well, I think it's at least situationally viable. If for instance you find Naraka on the way to boss in a spot where you can easily pull without aggroing 2000 things, well... it doesn't take more than 2 SCs to kill it so why not.
But let's say Naraka is at the end of Vamp room for instance, that would mean losing too much time maybe?

You meant Dimidiation right?

Probably. I’m tired :(

Depends on if the RDM savage is making Fusion or Light, if Light it has to be Dimidiation. If fusion, Resolution kinda is good because of the multi-hit aspect.

It is physically impossible for Savage Blade to make a Fusion.

Fair enough. Didn’t know what scs he was doing since he only listed wses

Red Lotus (Liquefaction/Detonation) -> Immanance Thunder makes Fusion -> Savage blade (Frag/Scission) makes light -> Dimi makes double light.

Not sure if this has been noted as it is largely irrelevant, but had B boss drop both an eikondrite and an octahedrite today, so that can happen.
