Mu Lung Dojo Timing

[Mazz]

I'm trying to get a faster time in the Dojo but I'm not sure how. All of my attacks hit max and I have 72% critical (82 with Judgement), the fastest I've ever managed was 10:41, how on earth do people manage 8 minutes? I noticed that all of the bosses spawn at the same second (i.e. 06 > 16 > 26) and lagging through a portal screws it up and makes me wait an extra 10 seconds for spawn. Do I just have to pray that I don't lag? Is there any way to time the spawns at the rest stage?

Trying to get Hero's Gloves, I could have easily done it today if I didn't have to wait for the things to spawn so much. :|

Sometimes bosses spawn within 5 seconds instead of 10.

Well, knowing Noir only activates on crits, you need to get to 100% to have maximum hits/sec.

Cube/neb/circulator/whatever for more crit, and for what you lose by making space for crit bonuses you'll just have to make up for with more %luk, att, etc on other items..


People manage 8 minutes because they're Mercedes, and they'll have more hits/sec than you no matter what you do, sorry. For the gloves, you'll just have to hope they don't run the same day you do..

Watch your MP regen, some sources use the same clock as the boss respawns so when your MP goes up that amount, it's the time a boss would spawn. I'm not sure the ideal time difference - around 5-7 seconds after that, probably - to try to get into the stage.

Obvious: Stand on the portal so you can just go to the next one. Easier for classes with long ranged attacks and FJs that work inside the dojo.

The people consistently getting 8 minutes and under are either mercs or hacking, almost always. Phantoms are basically capped to around 9 minutes (lowest MAYBE 8:40) and can't go faster than that. As we've seen from iathas, mercs have the potential to be much faster but can't get very far under 8 minutes.

Amazing times require some luck with the location of the spawning on some stages. Also you'll have to get your crit up as high as possible for maximum hits/sec - decent SE helps, since you will be using Rapid Fire in dojo. Use Dispel instead of combo in case you get darkness/locked. Hero's Will for Lyka/Mu Gong seduce helps immensely as well.
