MMM, general findings

[Vyuru]

Had a chance to do a solo 6 C.C run, and just thought I'd post my findings.

General info:

Job: Level 37 Sam/Dnc

Buffs: Meat Mithkabobs, FoV Regen, Protect. Primarily use Hasso, if I could get the counter effect from Seigan/TE to proc more I'd go with that instead. Also used my Emporer Band for fun.


Maze:

Maze Voucher 01
Rune 005 >>> Lizards
Rune 020 >>> Peon
Rune 100 >>> Trial by Velocity
Rune 101 >>> Trial by Budget

Results

Mobs gave a pretty consistent 54 exp.
The mob setup was first raptors on the lower level, and then lizards on the upper level. I did receive two links this time. The links where by sight, while the mobs seemed to aggro by sound. The sound aggro seemed to be a fairly large radius, almost as large as most mobs seem to detect by sight with.

The links were most definately by sight, and seemed to indicate that the mobs had a fairly narrow field of vision.


Chest #1: 1153 exp, 7 moblin marbles
Chest #2: 307 exp, 21 moblin marbles, Rune 017

When next I have 6 C.C points I am not going to use any +marble runes and only use Runes 005 and 020, Lizard and Peon, to see what those results are.

Some things of interest:

Preupdate factoids:

Original base maze yielded 15 marbles.
Rune 020, Peon, reduced marbles by 1-4
Rune 100, Trial by Velocity, gave +1-3 marbles per wave killed
Rune 101, Trial by Budget, gave +7 marbles.

Lowest amount of marbles that could be obtained with this maze preupdate: 19
Maximum amount of marbles that could be obtained with this maze preupdate: 27

Receiving 21 marbles for this run is within the margins listed above, and I'll say that I think it might be possible that the second chest that is awarded to the person who orders the maze may behave like the preupdate chests used to. I plan on doing another run exactly like this one later on, but first I want to see how only having the 005 and 020 runes affects the marble output.

Future runs will also be as Sam/Dnc, it's a pretty good combo and I plan on leveling Samurai through the MMM for a bit, so it makes it convenient too.

Expect more from me in about... Looks like 3 days to get another 6 points or so. So at least 3 days.

Re: MMM, general findings

So, round two:

As said above, I went in with the runes 005 and 020 set. I had 5 C.C points this time. First wave was bugards, which hit a little hard for their level, and then efts. Buffs were the same and it was 57 exp per kill with the emperor band.

1st chest: 926 exp, 6 marbles

2nd chest: 216 exp, 15 marbles


Since the second chest fits with how many marbles you would have gotten with a base maze preupdate, I think I'll assume that it works the same and not attribute the difference to the 1 CC point I was lacking. You do seem to get quite the boost to exp for having 6 CC points vs 5, good to know.

I think I'm going to pick up a rune 104, Trial by Silence, it adds +4 marbles to your runs.

Anything else ya'll would like me to check out whilst I do these runs?
