Promyvion - The Emptiness - Get your game onFollow

bump.

Ok can a party setup if 2xWAR/NIN 2xRNG/NIN SMN WHM do these?

I have noticed a lot of people are taking interest in these new NM drops from the Promyvion areas. I too have taken an interest ever since my party was aggroed by the Satiator and I managed to get the drop. I am on the Odin server and if there is anyone else who would like to I would love to go and try to collect all three drops. If you are interested please /tell Nicodeamus, I am a 49 BLM/26 RDM. I hope to have RDM up to 30 soon that way I am a little more flexible in my jobs for the promyvion areas. I have thought about it and the most logical thing for me to think of as far as where these might be used is in the new area it opens, mainly because there are three seperate NMs and in order to get to Tazania(sp?) you need to beat all three Spires bosses.... This is just speculation but please let me know if you would like to help me on my quest to get all these and use them properly :).

Other notes on Promyvions. My LS has been working on finishing all three, I myself have had mismatched luck. We beat Mea on our first try(that I was involved in), had about 6 animas if I remember correctly. Note for those curious I had great success with Drain, I managed to drain about 65 HP from it(this was also the killing blow).

I did Dem with a seperate group, we died our first time but it was because our WHM was not allowed to enter the Spire, not sure why it happened but we were being chased by a number of enemies, if anyone else has had this happen please send a bug report, my group did. Our second try we managed to make it through easy enough(this was when I got the NM drop, we had a backup healer in alliance just in case our WHM was not allowed in again). another note the NM while hard is not really that bad, my party actually got aggroed right after the NM fight and managed to have enough people alive to raise and move on(I wan tto say we had 4/7 live through that part)

Holl ahas been the bain of my LS's existence though, we have only tried once but it became a disaster due to the AoE sleep affect. One thing I will say is bring Poison potions, they don;t harm you enough to matter and the keep you awake which is very important. The trianary attack is probably the worst part of this boss because like Jet Streams from bats it will kill most shadows and does insane damage.

Another thing in reference to all the Promyvions I have heard that the animas stack so I thought about it, if you have ever member bring at least two you could keep the boss from doing any major attacks the whole battle, just setup like a ten second delay in usage, maybe 15 seconds.

Sorry if this info is mostly double posted I tried reading through the whole Post but it is really long...

here's my partys success story of mea, i'm done now hurray! it also includes my success story of the Phomiuna Aqueducts:

Actually, for what it's worth, I've only seen 2 types of Remnants drop from any given crag. While it's suspected that you could find the third type off the crag-specific, I've fought a hell of a lot of crag-specific beasties while accumulating attack data for them ... and haven't ever seen a third Remnant type fall (Fear in Dem, for example). I'm not convinced that all three types fall in all three crags.

Not that it matters. Go to Dem and farm Pain -- Hysteroanima rules the boss fights. ^^


-x-

I still don't have a clue what the NM Remnants are for. I have 2 out of 3.

A big thank you to everyone that help put this thread together.

the party I was in knocked out a hat trick last night, and I had this printed out, sitting next to me the whole time.

Review of our runs

Thanks again ^^

Closing updates performed - Thanks for helping me create a successful guide, everyone. There's nothing finer than being the caretaker of a community resource.

A theory, btw, on the NM recollections, and the new ones that Harith mentions:
Used for promyvion - vazhl, perhaps? Its been mentioned on this thread that beating all 3 bosses, then beating again (say, to help someone) lets you go back to top floor when you want. The only reason I could see for this is to hunt the NM's for their special recollection.

Since there's no use for them in the basic promy's, and the ones mentioned by harith aren't findable in the basics either, that leaves Vazhl, with all 3 bosses at once. Maybe they've got different effects, like make one of the inactive NM's charmed, to fight the active one? (wild, wild guess on my part for that effect, but who knows?)

For those a bit confused as to what a previous poster said:
you cannot go straight up to the top of the promy after beating the BCNM twice. He MEANT that you could stay behind to help groups that aren't filled with people, by not taking the port, but once you leave, you need to climb again.

Wonderfuly done. I shall use this info to my Advantage in the Prom battles. Rate Up

Here's something I've been pondering for a while and I guess this is the place to ask.

I saw where somewhere in the thread, someone asked about mobs on the top floor. Would it be possible to defeat one with a regular party of six? All the promyvion runs I've attempted have been in alliances but I'm considering doing one with a party of six.

Anyways, just curious as to whether a normal party can handle mobs on the top floor if one was to get into trouble.

All the empty are true sight I think, but small aggro range like you said. Not too tough to avoid aggro, just need to wait for them to move

Btw, Wingchild, awesome guide, helped me a lot in getting to tavnazia.

For the XP reduction for a character above level 30, just how much is the reduction factor?
