Dynamis San D'Oria and Dynamis info tidbits

[BlackDove]

Finally got around to compiling the vid.

This'll give a preview of what Dynamis is to people who don't know it, though it's a bit more than meets the eye in the vid considering I was firing off the record button randomly.

Basically you start at the moghouse of the cities set zones (Southern San D'Oria in this case) and work your way up to the other end of the zone, find the boss NM, kill him, he drops a key item that says you've cleared the area (gotta click it after he's dead).

After you clear the four main cities (Bastok, Windurst, Sandy, Jeuno), you get "Ice" access, which is basically permission to enter Dynamis-Beaducine, and after winning that one, Dynamis-Xarcabard (or the other way around - not sure).

However, while it may seem that it's simple to get from one end of the zone to the other - usually (well - always) there are separate routes, and you need to adjust your tactic according to the terrain/number of times you wiped/remaining time on the clock.

Dynamis works by way of the Perpetual Hourglass. You reserve a time in the real-life week when you buy it for 1mill gil, and you get to enter it with remaining time left on the clock, usually an hour. As you kill enemies, and more precisely, NM's, you gain time.

The reason for the time is fairly simple, you get the time to get to the end, but if you have a GOOD tactic, and depending on the skill of everyone in the run, the main idea is to clear the entire zone of monsters so that you'd get the most ancient currency drops/relic armor, and the latter is fairly scarce. Usually the person that bought the hourglass, gets all the currency drops to offset the huge expense.

That's pretty much it, Sandy is the easiest, then there are harder ones (depends on the complexity of the map). I did Windurst last week, and you fight in Windurst Woods. It's a nightmare to navigate proper and it has many twists and turns and roundabouts, we barely managed to win.

Anyway, this has been a short introduction to Dynamis.

Grats on the relic weapon Dynamis looks fun. Another thing to add to my list of things I want to do.

On the D-Bastok run I actually got YOUR relic weapon as well (nobody wanted it, so it dropped into my inventory).

Here's what I did with it.

I hate you










But seriously, couldn't you have sold it for millions? Seems a waste to just drop it.

rare/ex drop, can't sell or trade

I'd have to level /emo in order to use it to 75 and then upgrade the weapon by spending 2-3 years of wasting money on it.

Not something I want to do so off to trash it went
