So Domain Invasion

From what I've seems they introduced the NM Fates from Final Fantasy XIV nice touch though.

I'm the most stoked for this. I'm hoping for i135+, but I'm betting on i125+.

So I just entered the arena in Escha-Zitah to see how it was. Got multi-violented by a legion of spitting-fire dragons and the big dragon boss.
At least entry KI was free and it was still free when i went to buy again. Maybe it will be free until you get your first win. I don't know.

Very interested as well, more rings with Echad and Trizek Ring potency are very appreciated!

From the patch notes:

Joining the Fray

Equipping yourself for battle
During or immediately before the monster's appearance, speak to Affi in Escha - Zi'Tah (F-10) or Dremi in Escha - Ru'Aun (H-11) and obtain an "elvorseal" key item. Once the key item is obtained, it will be possible to teleport directly to the monster's location by speaking to either NPC.
*Players who are part of a Unity will be able to see notifications of when and where a monster is scheduled to appear.

Didn't see any other threads on this, but curious what people's thoughts are on this. I haven't done it myself, but it seems like WKR but you get a Unity message that the mob has popped.

Everyone stopped doing them already because the drops sucked and you need too many people to do them.

Haven't seen much mentioned about it, but the few rewards I'd seen people mention have only been Eschalixirs - I got an NQ and +1 from the one time I've seen the Zitah NM go down, so not worth it from that aspect.
Not entirely sure if they took any damage the entire time I was on yesterday - no one cares already.

Every time I've been to check one out, there's no-one there.

Even when I see someone shouting for help with one, no-one bothers to turn up. It's sad, really.

I just wish there were a way to make Apururu STFU about the NM's, without having to turn off unity chat.

I found one of these in a gold chest in Escha - Ru'Ann. I (SMN/SCH) was killing Eschan Il'aern, i think around portal #6. I don't remember exactly, but i think to open the gold chest, it was a "turn the dial up or down" type puzzle; I think i had three chances, only needing one. I have a screenshot somewhere...

I was killing for about an hour, and i think I saw 3-4 chests total; 1 gold and 2-3 blue/brown, which were auto-opens.

I got the facility ring from a gold chest. Killed a gargouille. Think I got lucky because it was the only thing regular enemy I killed in there. But yeah, these rings come from gold chests killing regular enemies.

Nah, you just need 1 GEO a couple of good nukers and it goes down in like 10-15min. People are making this to be A LOT harder than it actually is, the only difficult part is surviving the initial pull and killing the adds. I suggest to making life easier is if you have a COR, summon Arciela and Selh'teus and give them Runeist Roll and Tactician's. This lets you super cure bomb everyone in ring to help keep people healthy.

Any worthwhile drops that comes out of this?

What I've seen so far:

Ya the Sash is the best thing.



Have to do it on JP weekends kind of. Only time those dragons will die now unless some endgame LS is in there.

If you're not using GEOs to weaken him and aoe people to wipe out the adds, it's imperative that people kill them first. Tanking the dragon + adds combined can get pretty rough since there are a number of bad statuses that combined can cripple you (such as terror). They can be slept and don't have much HP, however. Safest way to initiate the fight would probably be with 2 people, one getting initial aggro (and thus the adds), and then a follow up tanky person to grab the dragon off them. Initial aggro tank person might want to be a hardy BLU or otherwise a PLD with a way to grab adds (in multiples) as they repop.

Naga Raja is definitely more annoying for melees due to flying most of the time, seemingly triggered sooner by doing lots of damage. I've noticed he will stay down if he uses what I think is Blood Weapon. Azi Dahaka has seemed the more aggressive of the two, flies less and uses Mighty Strikes, but maybe it's the Dahak adds being overall more dangerous with Heavy Stomp.

Someone on my LS saw this drop from Zi'tah
Eabani Earring
I can't personaly confirm though...

I think every 5 kills or so you get another tier of Regen/Refresh. Today got 2nd Regen Vorseal and 3rd Refresh Vorseal.

I know how you feel. I was dead before I could even target anything to attack. It's like, once your a yalm passed the blue lights, they draw you in and basically lock you in place with a bunch of tp moves until you're dead.

I can confirm this, I also got this from Zi'tah dragon

Has anyone hit a cap yet on regen and refresh vorseals? I'm assuming they don't continue to unlock indefinitely.

That earring is over doubly the BiS for EVA tanking on NIN (or THF).

I had the sash drop last night, I can't really see a use for it for the 4 jobs I play COR SAM NIN MNK. If you endup with a reecently returned or ***WHM would could full-time it for whatever your doing.

I can see it being a very useful piece for PLD's and RUN's and for many Magical job's (if it works, which it should do) when being Elegy'd. It would of be great(er) also if they added +10% received from waltz's.

Naga and Azi have been getting wrecked regularly on Cerberus. I think most folks are really wanting the upgraded Refresh and Regen Vorseals. The drops from each Wyrm are just a bonus.

You're really exaggerating there Ava, the dragons get wrecked when the JP players are on but once they've gone to bed, we go back to the NA + EU players who somehow don't realise they're the ones causing a mass wipe by tping from behind.

I'm not saying NA+EU players can't kill the dragons but it seems with JP players involved it's a near 100% death rate, NA+EU players seem to show less interest and are more prone to derping it up.
