My Mood: | New Assault Area Overview
Party Setup thf/nin(me), pld/war, blu/nin, rdm/drk, whm/blm, mnk/war Gotten to Floor 4 where we failed and gotten kicked 30 min time limit Floor 1 - Orders: Eliminate the Leader. Mobs - NM Dire mite and NM Flan. A Warmupacha(sp?) and ercua were present as DC. Leaders would be the NM to activate the Rune of Transference Floor 2 - Orders: Eliminate the all enemies. Simple as that Mobs - 2 or 3 puks, a Wyvern, a Archaic Rampart, a NM Ghost Floor 3 - Orders: Eleminate the target mob. NM undead dog and a drauger Floor 4 - Orders: activate all the lamps w/o destroying the Archaic Gears. We failed there. Gears, ramparts aggroed. There was 2 killing weapons there. Also all lamps must be activated at the same time. About 3 or 4 lamps ??? drops were a ??? ring and ??? bow - copper ring and light crossbow I'll post more after the second run, also my group was the first to do this on Seraph ^.^ |

Also I was wondering if you could update us on how tough some NM's are, if you get a chance to see one from another part of Vana'diel. As in, are they toned down/up to match the level cap or are they at their real strength?

NMs are about tough as Tough mobs, no two hours so far if any. Also haven't had time to test if we can avoid mobs for the lamp one yet Lastly, no map of the area, so no widescan |

??? ring become a copper ring, ??? bow = light crossbow ???footwearx2 = 1 ash clogs, 1 bronze leggings. So far, just like SE said, everything is random foremost. Even the same orders for a floor gives different mobs and used a different lay out. Only mobs that give real difficulty were the puddings. A pld and blm is highly recommended. Given how things went, I highly recommend a standard party of tank, blm, healer, refresh, puller and dd. |

If the NMs are as "tough as Tough mobs" Im gonna go out on a limb and say the normal enemies are probably pretty easy.

I'm hoping all the reports of mobs being as tough as DC-T mobs is right. Means my LS that is mostly BSTs gonna make short work of it.

Aside from the Flan and cactaur nms, mobs were pretty easy. Flans themselves through out the entire place really eats up time though. BLM to nuke them I really recommend. Also if anyone does the Floor with lamps and not destroying the Archaic Gears, test to see if those are true sight or not and post any thing I haven't gotten here too please.
