    Hello, I will be documenting my expeditions of the beloved boss, Dunas 2. Although I have a log of my previous runs, I will start fresh as to not taint and bias expectations of this boss' unbounded expected value (EV).

    However, I will share my most recent loot to set the baseline and tone of coming runs.

    Here is run #0

    Discord saw it first.

    I really like the ongoing theme of despairity that Gurk managed to encapsulate in his journals. Glad you chose to adopt a similar style.

    Also, dpm numbers pls and ty

    Here are some dpm numbers:
    For the spaceship, I did dpm5 on both chars. It takes about a min or 2 for my bishop to get aggro of the invul boss and then to move my chars over to the round platform on the right side. Spaceship went down at around 9-10min in. Pally is on lightning charge. Both on cider/choco cakes.
    spaceship_pally_dpm5_cider.png spaceship_bucc_dpm5_cider.png
    Main body dpm10 on strawberry cakes (30 atk). Might be better for my bucc to stick to cider cuz he will steal aggro from my pally when defense-up buff is down. Had a couple unlucky dispels. Pally on holy charge.

    Run #3

    This time during main body, I used the 40 atk cream cakes on my pally and stuck with ciders on my bucc. It seems like the more d2 gets the knockback/flinch animation, the less likely it spams the dispel lightning attack. Idk, maybe it was RNG not sure yet. In any case, got a new run-time record but also a record for the worst drops:

    As expected...sorry for the huge image. Not sure how to re-size here and was too lazy to re-size in powerpoint where I made it.

    I was curious how much exp my pally was getting from this so I did a epm30 before the space ship went down to capture both exp from space ship and main body:

    FYI that's with the bonus event exp of 10% (I think?). No bueno.

    I also forgot I never really specified the goals of this journal. Tbh I'm not sure. It's mostly informative for the NT community. Maybe I'll just keep this journal going until I get a 57/9 claw drop or Dunas2 gets buffed. Whichever comes first.

    Sorry my cursor is blocking the bountiful drops.

    Ok so I did actually make a rudimentary spreadsheet. Here is the EV so far:
    upload_2024-9-2_16-12-25.png
    The near-perf 2h sword, which I sold for 110m, is hard carrying the EV. I did not include any ores cuz it would be truly cope to include that. I separated coins from the EV since I never sell them. Now for fun, let's see the EV without the 2h sword:

    I draw aggro of the invulnerable boss using my bishop and then place him on the rope on the upper platform. I was told this was ok to do by a GM.
