RSS Feed created
I've enabled an RSS feed on the forums for the Announcements section, to make it easier for you to check when new announcements for runs or alliances are made. You can subscribe to the feed in most browsers by clicking on the RSS icon  in the address bar or by going directly to the feed itself here.
Some browsers (such as Internet Explorer 6 and any version before it) are unable to handle RSS feeds properly and may require installation of a toolbar or another third-party add-on that gives the browser that kind of functionality. It's also possible to register for service that checks RSS feeds for you, such as Google's Google Reader.
If you're having problems seeing the feed and if you have administrative access to your computer, I would recommend installing the latest version of your preferred browser--making sure to apply all necessary security and program updates associated with it--or try another browser, such as Firefox.
Run Announcement
On Sunday we will be running two consecutive Dynamis-Tavnazias. The objectives for both runs will be Body AF -1 farming.
To prevent late entry on Wednesday, the first instance will start earlier than normal Sunday runs:
Run 1: 5PM EST / 2PM PST
Run 2: 7PM EST / 4PM PST
It is imperative that these runs start on time. Therefore, those who are listed in the alliances must be at their respective run AND ready to enter 15 minutes BEFORE the listed time, or else you will be replaced with someone else who is in Tavnazia waiting. We will not wait for you to log on, and once you have been replaced and we make job changes to accommodate you not being there, your spot is gone.
Sign up for either run below, indicating whether you'd prefer the first, second, or either run. Alliances will be created from the list of those signing up during the primary sign-up period; in the event that the number of sign-ups exceeds the capacity for the runs, preference will be given to those who signed up before the cut-off.
The cut-off for the primary signup period is: Saturday, 9PM EST / 6PM PST
If you procrastinate and wait until Sunday to sign up and can't enter because the runs are already full, I will not feel sorry for you. Seriously.
Rapid recovery rules are in effect for Dynamis-Tavnazia. If you do not want Raise I, bring a Reraise Hairpin or a Reraise Gorget.
Item Preparation
Everyone is expected to bring, appropriate for your job:
- Signet
- a Reraise item (for use during the entire run)
- Antidotes
- Echo Drops
- Eye Drops
- Food

[READ] Rule Changes - Hydra Haubert Rotation System |
|
Nov 18, 2008 - 6:27 PM - by Teorem
|
For the last couple of months, the leadership has been discussing our current Hydra lotting system. In determining its strengths and weaknesses, we've examined both the frequency with which a person is able to lot, as well as the lotting behavior of those involved.
Unfortunately, we've come to the realization that although the system offers exclusivity, it does not promote the kind of lotting we originally intended. In addition to some people being excluded from not being able to win the initial /randoms, we also are forced to recognize that the desire of those lotting is not the Haubert set, but the Haubert itself. With this in mind, we are revising the system to address both of these issues.
Essentially, we are going to utilize a rotation system similar to what we currently employ with Shadow Rings and Shadow Mantles. The focus of this rotation system is going to be on the ability to lot the Hydra Haubert only.
The initial list will be created from those that have leveled (completely to 75) and made available to the linkshell their PLD, WAR, or DRK. After three members are selected from the top of the list to be able to lot the Haubert, they will be moved down the bottom of the list (hence, the rotation portion). The members' lotting positions will then be further adjusted by a series of bonuses and penalties to determine the lotting order for the next run.
The adjustments to the rotated list will be as follows (keep in mind that the top of the list is the lowest-numbered position):
Bonuses
-1 position for every 100 runs attended
-1 position if recent attendance is 90% or higher
-1 position if PLD as an alternate job
Penalties
+1 position if chosen for 1 of the last 3 runs
+3 positions if chosen for 2 of the last 3 runs
+6 positions if chosen for 3 of the last 3 runs
As you can see, the penalties will not be based on how many Hydra items you have previously won. Instead, it will be on how many recent opportunities you have had to be able to lot the Hydra Haubert. All Tavnazia runs are considered when determining what consists "the last 3 runs," whether the day is a split run with another zone or when we hold dual consecutive runs.
The other Haubert set items (Salade, Moufles, Brayettes, Solleretes) will be offered to those who can equip them, according to the number of Haubert set items previously received. Those picked for Haubert lotting are not initially eligible for lotting the other Haubert set pieces.
For example, if a Hydra Salade drops it will be offered to:
- initially, those who have won 0 Haubert set items
- after 30 seconds, those who have won 1 Haubert set item
- after 30 seconds, those who have won 2 Haubert set items
- after 30 seconds, those who have won 3 Haubert set items
- after 30 seconds, those who have won 4 Haubert set items
- after 30 seconds, those who have won 5 Haubert set items
- after 30 seconds, it will become free lot (including Hydra Haubert lotters)
For the purpose of calculating the number of Haubert set items someone has received, the Hydra Haubert itself will have the weight of 2 Haubert set items. The time limit will be used to ensure the timely lotting and distribution of the piece, and to discourage potential lotters from deliberately taking their time to decide when to lot.
All other Hydra pieces will remain free lot to those who can equip them and do not at all affect the lotting rotation used for the Hydra Haubert. As usual, all members are still strongly encouraged to consider the utility that the Hydra armor has to themselves and to others before casting a free lot.
All Hydra armor will keep recent (4/10) and minimum (50 runs) attendance requirements. A lotter MUST satisfy both of these requirements to be eligible for receipt of any Hydra armor piece.
Though we believe that this system will promote fairness in lotting opportunities and better utility from less-reserved lotting of the non-Haubert pieces, we certainly realize from experience that the system can have potential loopholes or weaknesses that we may not have foreseen. We reserve the right to make changes and fine-tuning we deem necessary to address problems that come up, and will always communicate why we feel the adjustments are needed to make the system better overall.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to post them in this thread. If you want to comment less publically, you can do so in the Administrative Notices forum.

Administrative
Early Run Warning
Next Sunday will be a double Tavnazia run. Thus, the start of the first run will be scheduled TWO HOURS earlier than normal Sunday runs:
Run 1: 5PM EST / 2PM PST
Run 2: 7PM EST / 4PM PST
This run will also implement new rules with dealing with the distribution of Hydra armor. You can read about the new rotation system to be used here.
Run Announcement
On Wednesday we will be running Dynamis-Xarcabard. Rapid recovery rules are in effect. The goals for this run are:
1) Clearing the Dynamis Lord successfully within 15 minutes of killing Ying and Yang.
2) Clearing 175+ Kindred total
This run MUST start on-time.
Sign up for the run below so that we can create alliances as early as possible.
Item Preparation
All members must bring the following, appropriate for your job:
- Signet
- Food
- Reraise item (for the Dynamis Lord)
- Echo Drops
- Eye Drops
- Opo-opo Necklace
We will provide Icarus Wings, Sleeping Potions, and Poison/Venom potions for the Dynamis Lord.

Strategy
http://www.dynamisbums.com/strategy/xar.html
A number of people have asked me so far about why I set such a seemingly arbitrary number of Kindred as a goal for the run. This is a map of the spawns in Xarcabard:
If we were to kill all of the Kindred below the orange line, that would be 180 Kindred and 15 NMs (which I don't count in the total). Currently, we're skipping the set on the right side labled 110-123 and in recent runs have been unable to finish 142-146 and 150-154.
This means we're currently hovering around the 155-160 Kindred mark. Obviously killing more Kindred means more chances for AF, but in order to cover all of this, we need to:
- move faster through the zone (we should never see the 10-minute warning at the end of the NMs)
- significantly reduce the time used for the Dynamis Lord
If we cut out the Dynamis Lord, I know we can cover the sets we're missing and more. However, it's not my intention to eliminate the Dynamis Lord as a goal while there are still people who have not yet earned their first Shadow item. That means, the burden falls on YOU to make sure we are moving through the zone quickly enough. All of the leaders are aware of the time management needs in the zone, but that gets frustrating and difficult when, for example, we work to get a 15-minute advantage only to watch it dwindle away because people are standing around and aren't making their parties for the Dynamis Lord. Or we have to wait out weakness because no one bothered to Stun Heavy Stomp or Body Slam and 10 melee get KO'd. Or because people are taking their time to get back to Xarcabard after making a job change.
If we can cut out all of these little things that add up and take away so much time, we can easily accomplish more farming and more reward(s) as a result.
