Do you think quality of +2 box can vary with floor it's from? I sincerely hope not but I feel that superstition. :X
It's completely random period.

The most important necro-bump for the most important random item event. There is probably a more recent version of this thread, but I used google to search the site and this is the forum thread I came up with. Show me your loot!

I'm waiting to open my stuff until the free-to-play goes live in several days. That way, I can log in my old alts that I abandoned back when triple-boxing BST died out. I'll form a party with myself and open boxes then so loot doesn't instantly drop. Maybe I'll be able to get a friend a table (I already have one) or can sell some interesting drops. *shrugs*

I opened a few for a warm-up (because I have no self-control):
Random NM appraisal:
Jr Muskateer's Tuck +1
Felling Axe
Hickory Shield
Bellicose Mantle
Atheling Mantle (Fell into nothing as I still was holding mine)
Boss appraisal:
Raw Buffalo, Linen Purse, & Phorcys Salade from my +2 boxes.

Pretty much just pulse weapons. Oboro weapons. ZNM pops. HTB drops. that stupid table. Doesn't drop omen/divergance stuff (afaik)

Bunch of other worthless ***just like AMAN and SPdials

I had no idea Trove items could come from NNI. I have been wanting this one for a while.

Even more loot worth tens of millions and tens of millions more reasons why I love this event. Big congrats. That's an incredibly nice score. Was that from a common appraisal or a +2 box?

I've personally gotten Oboro weapons, got a pulse weapon once, got a torque from one of the Warder NMs in Escha Ru'Aun once. Mostly random junk except for a NQ Hexed and Hexed -1 stuff.

Nni is one of my favorite events. It’s easy to spam, you get tokens, Alex, ZNM pop(Scoria), and the random Gil items with Pulse weapons to boot.

I got the sash from a ??? Sash +1.

What's the best strategy for farming this?

Just kill all the NMs you encounter and that's it?

depends if you're purely solo or have a lamp ***. I run w/ only 1 char, the way I approach it is set the cap @60 and do big jumps unless I land 1-2 away from 20/40, then I'll just jump 1 floor with the intent of hitting 20/40/60 for the +2 boxes, and the chances for a purse from the boss on top of the boxes.

On the climb, yes I'll kill every NM I do see but won't go out of my way hunting them on a floor I clear the objective quickly.

I know some ppl who set the cap @20 and just go 1 floor at a time, others who go w/ a lamp *** and set it at 100. It all boils down to what fits your playstyle/aggressiveness.

I don't have a spelled-up/geared-up BLU, so I take my BLM. Most everything outside of NMs and flayers dies to one AoE nuke, and the Claustrum all of a sudden makes sense w/ its wonderful aftermath ;)

@Soralin,

Yeah, just kill every NM you see. Also don't skip boss floors, i.e. you're on floor 19, just go next, they reward box +2.

If you want to guarantee a +2, you can set the floor to 20 and go one by one. I prefer to set 100 and just do whatever I land on, and then go up by ones if I'm within 3 floors of a boss.

It's a really easy event and it's very productive in short bursts. With it being a 30 minute timer, it's pretty painless and some of the rewards are pretty neat. I've built a full PW set in about ten runs, with some other random pops in between. It's not really a consistent method for farming pulse weapons imo, have gotten better luck doing t3s. But if you need the tokens anyways you kill two birds with one stone

When NNI and Moonbeam items came about, I farmed for Tococo bird who generally only showed up within the first 20 since it dropped necklace +1.
So find your "type" of NM and shoot for those floors or just set 100 and wing it

Nice, wouldnt Cor be the optimal job? Bolsters roll on a Rostam Cor is insane move speed and doesnt require cast time.

Roll wears off if you get hit by anything so would probably lose it constantly, unfortunately.

BLU is generally the way to go. Set for AOE and just decimate everything

the ability to aoe cleave via spells without engaging (severe slowdown there) is a huge advantage that BLU and BLM have in Nyzul.

Can cor not sub stuff that enables AoE?

With all our avialable matt/matt/maybe gear, a well geared Cor/Blm I still feel like could AoE stuff down.

Roll wearing off is not a big deal, with ja0wait you can pop it on the move.

Even just 1 roll without doubling up your sitting at like +40% move speed.

I think Cor/Blu or Cor/Blm could get there with pimp gear. NNI is only lv 99 right?

So like, if you're using ja0wait, then you're using tako. so speed roll is irrelevant.

Do I remember reading somewhere on these fourms, or maybe it was BG, that someone made a list of which NMs drop which ??? items?

If someone knows where, could you link it please?

Edit : I'm on a roll. Came from a ???Box +1

There is no full list I know of but these NMs have a distinct item they drop throughout vana'.
And they are lumped together with the ???+1, (ie Noble Mold drops Rain Hat -> ??? head +1) head type appraisal or random item idk

old list:
https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Nyzul_Isle_Investigation

there have been other NMs that have been added and distributed with the same 20/40/etc setup

That is for the regular NNI event. In this campaign, +1s give the good money drops regardless of NM (all ??? sashes select from the campaign sash pool)

+2s are good because they drop ZNM pops, alexandrites, and the alzadaal table (I've only gotten the tables from +2s)

if that helps your planning

Not defending the idiot but there's a windower plugin that does ja0.

cor/blm is dumb as *** though.

How are the tokens from New Nyzul? Worth it or stick to NQ for token farming?
