Neo Nyzul

I'm getting the hang of this event!

I only had a variable amount of time last night and I did not want to be stuck in Salvage if I had to log out, so I decided to do Neo Nyzul. I had a LS mate come with who had never done the event before. We set destinations to floor 40 and got to floor 20 and 40 on the 1st run, and only floor 20 on the 2nd.

We had numerous ??? items and while most were standard fare (one nice RNG i119 bow dropped and went to my LS mate), there were a couple of cotton coin purses (5 and 17 alex respectively), there was, however, one very important item that was a Buffalo Corpse, the pop item for T4 ZNM Sarameya.

I filed that into the delivery box right away for future use. In all the Alex from the two runs, I ended up with 47.

Not bad!

This same LS Mate also hooked me up with some Bronzepieces he had left over from one of his dynamis farming sessions - for free! I also purchased some Bynes from him as well that were in his Bazaar, but that was very very kind of him! And this morning, I noticed some more Bronze in my delivery box.

This morning I did my daily ARII run and made sure to let the Ramparts pop gears. This added likely 30 Alex to my run that I had been foregoing. Not anymore!

Linen only gave me 55 though so my total Alex for the run was 112.

I then enlisted a LS Mate to help me with some Khon pops in hopes I could get the abjuration for Amalric Nails. Unfortunately, we wiped on the 1st one (wrong trust combination - I forgot at the time you should have some form of ranged damage for his shields) and the 2nd and 3rd ones did not drop it.

My friend was on PLD and I was on BLU. We used Semih Lafihna, Prishe II, Shantotto II, and Apururu as trust compliments. He back tanked and did a great job.

After those attempts, back to Neo Nyzul!

I did two more Neo Nyzul runs this time solo. I set my destination to floor 60.

Run #1 I got to fight the floor 40 and floor 60 boss. I got 1.8k tokens and between drops in the zone and from appraised items I got 2 cotton coin purses. One appraised item was Singed Buffalo, the pop for Tyger.

That's 2/3 of the T4 ZNM pops I need for the final stage of the Mythic quest!

Run #2 I also set for floor 60 and I managed to make it again. Only a Cotton Purse dropped from floor 60, and I got another one from appraisal again.

After turning in my Alex to Paparoon, I now stand at 2,129 Alex, and 41,693 Nyzul tokens.

24 hour plan

Still no Stage 3 shield from Switchstix. Pretty much my daily routine is 2-3 salvages, 2-3 neo nyzuls, and other things that need to be done.

Nice to cross another landmark with Alexandrite by crossing 2k. I have been now gathering from Tier 2 Salvage for 6 total days. This means at this rate I will finish Alex in just under 3 months. That's not bad, but obviously I will try to beat this time if I can.

My goal is to have 3k turned in by tomorrow night.
