Choi's Guide To Late Game Instances: Difference between revisions

As there is a time limit for maximum rewards, the mechanics of the instance should be utilized to get through the maze quickly and efficiently.  

The main mechanics to worry about in the First Maze is that players are randomly teleported and that mobs are either physical damage immune or magic damage immune. As such, the party should split into pairs of physical damage and magic damage characters. As you go through the instance, the pairs should make sure to clear all mobs that they see. With multiple pairs clearing different parts of the map, the effects of the random portals will be mitigated. Once you enter a portal and are teleported back into the first zone, try to join up with any players you see and continue clearing the map as you go to another portal. If you don't have a damage counterpart, try to clear what you can and pot/run through what you cannot. Consistently clearing the mobs will massively help the party members who low roll teleports.

In the Second Zone, there are two routes to the portal @navi 1@alice_mad 325/76. Wait until you have both physical and magic damage dealers and clear everything through the map to clear a route for yourself and everyone else. If you are good on time, then feel free to clear the other route for the extra materials but also to benefit your team.  

In the Second Maze aka the Red Map, players will want to split up and call out sections that they will be going to (e.g. Top Left, Top Right, etc.), so that all members are searching for different sections. Once a member has found where the portal is, they should '''not''' enter the portal and instead should wait and provide the navi link (e.g. @navi 2@alice_mad 61, 438) so the other members can join them near the portal. Once over half the party members are next to the portal, they should all enter quickly together.  

The bosses cast large AoE skills that can be protected from with {{#skill:288}}. Additionally, throughout the battle, {{#linkmob:30249}} will spawn around the map to attack and wide dispel the team. To mitigate disruption from the  

{{#linkmob:30249}}, the team should move to a corner of the map, and the EM should cast Land Protector where the team will be standing. As you will be in a corner you won't be attacked from all sides but only from two sides.  

# Phase 3: Have someone lure {{#linkmob:30250}} to the LP where the rest of the team is standing. Since {{#linkmob:30250}} only takes ranged damage in this phase, the ranged DPS should focus on damaging the boss while other DPS types should kill nearby {{#linkmob:30249}} to prevent dispel.  

* The Bosses have long cast times for some of their skills. As such, {{#skill:277}} is a useful skill to spam on them to cancel some of their skills.

* As the Cardinal will be with the stack, they can cast {{#skill:5269}} on themself to heal the stack while focusing on healing the EM or Lexing the bosses.
