ZNM (Tier 1) - Sun, July 20th @ 5pm CST

[Ikonic]

It's time to try some of the new fights (ZNMs) and so I'm scheduling ZNM (Tier 1) runs for Sun, July 20th @ 5pm CST. Gather together in Whitegate.

Exact fights are not decided yet, so please reply with what you'd like and if you can bring a pop item for it.

Hell yea im down for this too!

I would like to fight Chigre and/or Lil' Apkallu.

I have not even started the Zeni system yet, so unsure if I will have enough for one or both.

As far as points go: If we are implementing points for this, I would recommend low point values with an incremental increase per tier, keeping them even across the board.

For example 5 Points for Tier 1, 10 points for tier 2, 15(or 20) for tier 3, etc. Since there are so many items, and most of the overall effort is in collecting Zeni itself.

Thoughts?

I was thinking more something like T1-2, T2-4, T3-6, T4-10, T5-1000 lol for points. Was also thinking something like double points for using your pop item and go off normal lotting, or no extra points and you get to choose 1 item. Also think whoever uses pop item should get the rare/ex drop to get up higher tier since they worked to get pop item. Another important thing in the long term, T4 requires 500 zeni to enter where the nm pops for each person.

On second thought. Id like to Fight Cheese Hoarder Gigaroon as my Tier 1. I will have the pop item.

This will allow access to Izra Ima (Ferrarra and Avocat Pigaches) and Armed Gears which drop the Aurum Sabatons. There is another path which leads to a Wamoura that drops the Sabatons as well, but Izra Ima drops good stuffs I am after.

You are talking points earned from killing, am I correct? I was referring to points spent on the dropped item. Otherwise, I agree with what you have there.

Today we did 6 fights: 4 Chigre, 1 Cheese Hoarder Gigiroon, and 1 Ob. These fights were a bit different that other fights we've done and were actually quite fun.

Chigre fights from pop to death took less than 5 minutes. Cheese Hoarder was annoying until we got the strat down and was interesting as it kept running away. Ob was a pure kite fight as if we tried to straight tank it surely more people would have died.

I didn't manage to get any pictures of the actual fights, but do have the drops.













Just to note how dangerous Ob can be:
