Einherjar Info Wanted

[Callisto]

Hello,
I'm currently trying to setup Einherjar runs for the Dynamis LS that I'm in, and I was trying to find some more info on it. My web access at work is a little limited, so I was hoping maybe some players here could share.

The main things that I'm looking for:

1) Strategies for clearing a chamber.

2) Which chambers need to be cleared to access others.

3) What drops from Einherjar(please try to stick with things that you know are confirmed)

I know that the 2 new abjuration sets do, but I'm not sure about the older abj sets, I've heard rumors that they do.

Any info would be appreciated, I've only tried one run so far, the bird despawned on us and dogs/skeletons decimated our group.

Thanks!

1) Strategies for clearing a chamber.

bring lots of bards, bring blackmages, get lucky (especially on not getting the marid boss). also, the rumors of bringing fewer making it easier are just that: rumors. mob quantity and type on load up appear to be random thus far (a system may be worked out in the future).

2) Which chambers need to be cleared to access others.

clear all of wing I to get wing II, clear all of wing II to get wing III, clear all of wing III to get the final chamber (valgrind). there are three chambers per wing.

birds/tigers/etc despawn yeah. they don't seem to be necessary for beating the run yet (some have dropped temp item crates like you get in salvage).

I've heard confirmation of several misc. sky drops and there's been rumors about at least NQ ground abjurations. if I had to guess I'd say either every abjuration drops, or just sky drops and the new drops.

other drops are mostly crafting materials of the boss type and exp pages.

Thanks, I guess I forgot one question:

Does killing the bird/tiger stop the shared hate deal, or do you just have to have enough AoE sleep to deal with it?

just treat it like a big dynamis pull and you'll be fine. - like I said, no one has confirmed what the bird/tiger is for and the messages/results you get for killing them are inconsistent.

Re: Einherjar Info Wanted

they drop chest with temp items

Re: Einherjar Info Wanted

only sometimes.

sometimes you get a 'monsters are calmed' message too.

sometimes you get a 'monsters are restless' message.

it's not consistent. and since people have won successfully both with and without killing the 'extra' mob, it's not clear what they do.

Re: Einherjar Info Wanted

Killing Pink Bird drops a chest

Killing Black bird gives calming message

Letting Tiger depop gives restless message (not 100% confirmed)

Northing confirmed about sheep (though I assume depop like tiger to get chest)

Confirmed Drops include New Abj, Sky Abj and crappy ground abj (D feet and E legs). Possibly better drops in 2nd and 3rd wings.

You pull one mob of a type and the rest of those mobs link. Stuning, Skillchains (zomg) and MBing help a lot on bosses for killing faster. Everything is random, mobs, bosses, random little mob. You really can't prepare for what you will get. Just have to bring stuff/people for anything.

Bosses: Marid- Spams Healing move, no real way to counter it other than SC->MB and stun order. Melee zerg not advised (unless you save for the end with Chainspell stun)

Molboro->Dispel spamage will be needed for Vampiric Root (absorbs buffs including RR). Bad Breath will be used a lot as well

Wvire: Easy as heck, just need erase for its very potent attack down.

Manticore: Uses all Manticore attacks, including Riddle. Also has Mighty Strikes. Tends to either target random people or those who are doing nothing. Impossible for a tank to hold hate.

Buffolo: Super Knock back from Snort. Have everyone against a wall and its simple.

Bosses seem to have a few 100k HP. Useful meds are poison pots, Anitdotes, holy water and usual PT stuff. Merit PT set ups+a BLM PT usually does the trick for most mobs. WHMs cast Banish on Undead, WARs Tomahawk for eles (it helps a little) and prey you don't get a sucky set up like Ghosts and Dark Eles.

I think thats all thats known atm

and there's been groups that have confirmed reports of getting both the chest, and it's confirmed not to be 100% *and* groups have confirmed getting the calming message from the pink bird, and getting no message from killing a black bird.

there's a reason there's still a confirmation tag on all of it on the wiki and BG still has only one big fat einherjar thread rather than breaking out strategies yet - nothing is 100% understood yet, except for silly little stuff like the small gangs of mobs are alliance aggro (they are not all PC aggro) and that the four 'extra' mobs are not up on zone in.

I'm just crossing my fingers for Kirin Abjurations in Wing III...

I would not be at all surprised to see the body drops restricted to Valgrind only (which would be highly disappointing.)

But probably very likely. Either that or Body drops are in Wing III and The new Polearm, Sword and Valhalla gear are in Valgrind (since the only room there is Odin's Chamber)

Re: Einherjar Info Wanted

I fully expect the misc. drops to be kill drops off the boss of the valgrind chamber; doesn't mean they won't put body abj's *just* in there too.

(having them available in wing III would be nice but could potentially make them 'too' available for SE - since once you clear valgrind you can return to any of the previous 9 at any time.)

given that the body abjurations for the most part aren't the best gear in their slot anymore, SE may not be as concerned about it now though.
