Nyzul Isle Raiders

It is April! Birds are chirping, Crabs are scuttling out of their ponds, and yikes, those final exams are fast approaching. My next few posts will likely be short and limited in number as I prepare to hit the books. Hopefully, I can use old news to tide everyone over until May.

So after teaming up with Ariane and her linkshell, Sparta, I decided to try my hand at her Nyzul Isle static PT. Unfortunately, most of our team (including myself) had never experienced a Nyzul investigation before, so it was definitely a new and challenging experience.















What are Nyzul Isle Investigations?
Nyzul Isle Assault missions differ from the normal Assault missions in the sense that dungeon layouts and objectives are chosen at random. Although you can find similar objectives between floors, each floor usually contains vastly different monsters for your group to encounter.

What are the objectives?
I do not know every objective, but the objectives can range from:

• Slay an enemy leader (this is a designated ToAU NM).
• Eliminate all enemies.
• Free floor!

Sometimes, there will be secondary objectives that give penalties if you fail to adhere to them.















To be honest, I believe the Spartans were a bit unprepared for this investigation: we only got to floor three in the end. Unnecessary agro led to status effects, such as Silence, that likely prevented us from reaching floor five. Nonetheless, I had some fun playing with NMs such as Frostmane and Carnero; boy, were they different from usual.
