I was mowing the yard today and i had the idea of mabye starting a Dreamland Dynamis Shell that would go on Wednsdays.. But ive never gauged how the amount of work it takes to run a Shell like that

I know that the New Dreamland Dynamis Areas have a max of 32 people so Run might be easyer to organize, But Do any of yall have and ideas or Usful information about starting a Dynamis shell?

All im doing is gathering information here, this is not a decleration of a new shell or even guaging intrest.. im am just exsploreing a idea i had
 
Just to give you a warning... The new zones may be smaller but they are more difficult to learn.
 
Estimate how much time you'll spend a week on it. Triple that time. That's what you'll be spending as a lead of a going-concern-oriented dynamis shell if you want it to survive past its honeymoon phase.

The new zones have several annoying obstacles. First, access. Pain in the friggin neck enough to get dynamis wins for players. It's another thing entirely to throw Diabolos wins on top of that. Second, non-complete access to relic drops. You still need beau. Still need xarc. And that means still need Bastok, Windurst, Sandy, and Jeuno if you want the big guns.

Diabolos-based dynamis shell would be tough. Real tough given the circumstances of the server. Many of the people with access are already bound to a dyn shell, and a recent trend of shellrobbing (ie making a shell that preys off of traditional shells by luring players away with promises of adventure, new items, and end-focus drops) is already underway and somewhat tapped.

I've been at dynamis a long time, but it's not going to be me that runs a dreamlands dyn team. Logistics of it is horrible. I can only wait till my team contracts down to the limit before taking something like that on.

Good luck if you attempt it. I must warn you, though. Don't let the smaller size fool you into thinking it'd be easier than classic dynamis management.

Dynamis tavnazia drops the beauce AND xarc AF.

You don't need to beat any of the regular dynamis' to get access to the CoP ones, at least I'm 99% sure of that.
 
my understanding is taht you only have to have beaten Diablos to gain access to the new Dynamis areas, i may try to form a exsperimental run sometime in the near future but thats a BIG if.

Honestly If i start this im not gonna try to pull people from their current shells, the lure of Relic+1 gear is just a massive draw for me as well as Enjoy the story of the game so that intrests me too. I feel that the those things would be the primary draw for the proposed shell. I dont think id have to recruit to hard.

Are there any Dreamland Dynamis Shells in existance?

But honestly im not sure if i'm ready to lead a dynamis shell yet.. This gives me alot to think about

Loveless does them, occasionally. It really isn't worth it.
 
The new zones arent done because the AF2+1 stuff sucks, the drop rates are enough to give a 15 year old boy looking at the cheerleaders a softy and the capes/belts are medicore at best, except for maybe pld, rng, and couple more.
 
you only need to have beaten diabolos in the cop mission storyline, along with the other usual rank 6 lvl 65+ etc requirements.

we used to do the d36 dynamis areas, but eventually switched back to the 64 member runs. currently, i only know of one jp ls that does the 36 man areas.

Actually a lot of the capes/belts are very good peices, the drop rate just sucks.
 
Yeah, makes you pine for the northlands.
