Dynamis-Beauc Dragons Questions

[UNCTGTG]

Hello, my name is UNCTGTG from the server Ragnarok and I use your Site alot to help with the northlands among other things.

I wanted to ask you some questions about Dynamis-Beauc dragons since you guys seemed to have cleared about every single mob in beauc.

My LS normally just sacs them (Dragons) to the zone then we kill Eye, plan and simple. But there has been recent debate as what those Big blobs of Dynamis Icons, Tombstones, Replicas are for. You know the Statues that are 2-3 times the size of normal statues. Question is has anyone defeated them, what are they for besides decoration. I read somewhere once that they have ties to the Dragons, if they are defeated dragons wont pop when eye is engaged? Can anyone confirm this or let me know what they are for.

Sorry for such a noob question.

Also if that isn't true which way would u guys suggesting we have our thf sac the dragons. We usually have thf equiped with powder boots use them first, two hr do a little circle around the Eye, then still having some left on powder boots, then fleeing when powder boots wear off.

Thanks

what we usually do is have like a party of plds and ninjas kite them away

as for the huge statues, we've never killed them and gone for the boss too, we have killed the qadav and goblin ones though, they didnt seem to drop anything special, but we're not sure if they take care of dragons or not

[Scytale]

It's my understanding you need to kill the large statues to spawn the Attestation Eye NM? Killing him will pop the 3 job NM's in some of the towers for Weapon Attestation Paper.

As for Angra and the 4 Dragons, We've used everything from PLD with Red legs, RNG with Striders, even Whm with Gaiters to run them away from the main group for a couple minutes before we actually engage the Eye. Once the Eye is actually attacked the dragons will return so pull them as far away before you go for it to give you a lot of time. Just let the main group stand there, no healing, no nothing...all the eye will do is debuffga everyone but not actually attack or anything. When all else fails we just have everyone who's cleared the zone ruff and sac on the dragons to give people a chance to get ??? :P

The large statues continue to be a mystery to me. I've never seen any proof for the various theories I've heard. Which cover everything from popping the attestation eye to all sorts of things having to do with the dragons. We're in a position to test these sort of things so maybe on our next Beaucidine run we can test this theory out and kill all of these along the way to Angra Manyu. I think it could be done easily enough the orc statue being the only real problem.

[Juma]

the big statues sure dont pop the attestation eye trigger, we've killed the trigger eye many times without killing the big statues

[Spunkymage]

We usually sacrifice a few taru's on the way to Angra Manyu to bring us good fortune.

I have now found out the Statues are tied to the dragons, that once they are killed they will not repop. So the dragons will still pop from the eye but once u kill the statues leading up to megaboss, they will not repop if you kill all 4.

[Caclax]

wait, so your ls killed the 4 dragons along with the eye? and with killing the 4 statues the dragons did not repop? we havent killed the dragons b4, just one of those thing we havent tried.. such as the death house in windy lol

[Halon50]

We've cleared Koru-Moru's house in Windurst on our last run. Approaching it from the NE prior to clearing the bridge to the tree is best, as there are trap statues out on the bridge that makes more statues pop around the house and in the little courtyard in front.

[UNCTGTG]

Ok here is the info I got.

Each Dynamis Mega Statue (we'll call it that) are idenitically the same megabosses in all 4 stater areas.

Each Statue is related to one of the Eyes Dragon. Once the corrsoponding Statue is defeated you can defeat the dragon and it will not be resummoned by Eye (Megaboss), but the dragons are harder then hell to defeat. They are 100% gravity resistant.

[Spunkymage]

That's good info to know UNCTGTG. I still think sac pulling the dragons is the way to go. The time you save yourself not killing the statues and dragons, you can reuse for farming after you kill Angra Manyu. Drop glass, have someone's mule hold/reissue the glass at the zone, and simply jump back in and go back to farming once weakness wears.

[AstralFlow]

They arent *that* hard.

[Juma]

not really worth the time it would take to kill the big statues and then the dragons though better to sac kill, teleport and rezone.

or you could farm everything including 5+ hydra pulls pre boss, after your main pullers know a few tricks to getting to boss quickly if time is low it doesn't matter if you farmed to much before hand.

My ls usually farmed 5-6 hydra mob pulls, clears all mobs cept the windy, gob, and quadav boss stat pulls(and yes we do clear the orc one cuz its easy). Now after doing beac many times, there are 2 15 min extensions you can get w/ 0 time put into it to get them(if running low on time) along with ways to avoid the NM lake before the boss itself.

First being the Orc lake 15 min extension. You are able to get 3-4 blms to nuke the middle time ext statue from the cliff above(quadav section) then have plenty of time to log out to clear hate.

Second time saver is sac pulling the 15 min just before the boss(the orc one just north?? of the orc boss stat). Now you may think that sac pulling it by itself is good, but why not save yourself some extra time and get a rdm to solo it. Now you may wonder, won't the rdm get owned? Nope, because when the thf or whoever pulls boss eye, he also sac pulls that orc pull on the way(the 15 min ext is the middle stat).

Now if your very short on time, you can save yourself yet another pull towards boss by having who has 12% run speed run through the last pull towards NM lake(the 4 stat/4mob pull) and have them run clockwise past each stone at NM lake and run back on the path towards the same way you'd pull boss. Now its trick cuz you need to make sure everyone is running to the staging area of boss eye while main boss sac puller does his pull right away. He'll of course just do his normal boss sac pull and badabing you just saved yourself 30-50 min.

As for the dragons not repopping(after killed once) after killing the megaboss stats, its the only thing that would make sense, but the time/effort involved just isn't worth it unless you done all the farming possible, made it to boss and still got like 40 min(which usually means you prolly shoulda spent more time in hydra area). Id also like to add that the best spot to kill them would however be w/ sac pulls and then killing him on the ledge going down into fei'yin area, i remember seeing a JP site that said which ones did what, but either way, they weren't to hard when you got 8ish blms and treat em like ying/yang in xarc.

Anyhow, this has been a long useless post brought to you by a taru pld from remora

Man both of these ext's dont require 'loging out' or a sac puller....

3 Merrited BLM's can use timed IV spell and kill the statue without pulling any hate from anything else.

[AstralFlow]

Just for the sake of experimenting - we killed all statues and the dragons our last Beaucidine. They did not repop - It was actually pretty fun.....

Next time I go I'd like to match each statue with a dragon for further information - We will kill 3 of the 4 statues and see which dragon repops - thus slowly matching the statues to the dragons.

[Radav]

That's some good work. Let us know how that goes.

hmm. do the dragons drop anything?

[AstralFlow]

Nothing. We were bored and raped the zone so decided to give it a try.

[UNCTGTG]

Have you guys had and chance to match statues with dragons??
