    If they are, then it seriously has ended the Veno melee build.

    Veno needs to be redone.

    Nirvana Caster Quest
    Form a squad that's comprised of only casters and head over to the Mysterious Old Man

    kinda implies it right there

    exactly, it doesn't say whether or not you'll be able to start the quest with non-casters.
    there are no stupid questions, just a lot of inquisitive idiots.

    I checked and there are 5 new bosses added to Nirv. Much less HP and 99,999 pdef. The drops look pretty similar to normal nirv.

    Casters receive a bonus quest for completing a run that gives 80% chance of an extra uncanny and 20% chance of a rapture. I think non-casters can come too but they won't get any bonus quest.

    If casters go on normal nirvana they get an extra reward, choice of:
    Mysterious Chip x10
    Mirage Celestone x5
    Ultimate Substance x5

    Doesnt sound that bad b:dirty

    Asterelle is probably right, i doubt PW would have been smart enough to make it available to casters only

    Sounds good even if I'm not 100 yet... But some more info about this would be apreciated... Like for example wich classes exactly is this for? And what are the diffirences and rewards for this? Sounds good to me though... And sins and BM's also have no reason to QQ cause with their 5.0 and bloodsuck they do it without cleric lately annyway... b:victory

    Just finished one, apparently it only works once a day (you need Nirvana Talisman to start the quest, which you get from Mysterious Old Man). No seals, however, other status effects, debuffs, even buffs. Some Bosses spawn mobs, not exactly sure, if its always the same bosses. We got 0-2 chests per boss, last boss dropped 3 items (Rap, Canny, Mirage) and the pop up quest gave an extra canny/rap as reward.

    It was actually really fun and kinda exciting to do something new, bosses have pretty low HP (2.3mish) and its just as fast as a "normal" Nirvana.

    Im surprised and pleased, gonna do this every day for fun b:victory

    There is only 5 bosses in an all caster nirvana

    1st boss is the normal first boss except no circles no seals and no pillars and he has an aoe metal attack now only 1 coin dropped from him.

    2nd boss has a new water attack aoe and also a water damage over time debuff also has an aoe sleep. got a chest here that gave us an uncanny

    3rd boss was the Fox lady but she has new adds now and they hurt but they die off after they attack someone and kill them and then she spawns more. got a chest here that gave us an uncanny.

    4th boss was the sovereign guy who is the 2x chest normally he hits like a truck and has an aoe that hurts like hell too almost caused a squad wipe cause of it. NO CHEST DROPPED! b:angry

    5th boss was the old man he summons adds make sure you kill them as fast you can and we were gettting a mag attack and crit rate buff during the fight when we killed him we each completed the quest and got an uncanny from it and also the boss dropped 3 uncanny and a stack of coins. The quest you complete has a 20% chance of rapture crystal.

    This can only be done 1 time a day. (or maybe just 1 time)

    Edit: all bosses are phys immune so only veno pets that use magic damage are useful in there and also i would recommend 2 clerics just cause alot of those bosses hurt. Also you can bb on bosses because none seal you but some do interrupt.

    Also there is an item the leader recieves 15 of them and they are an agro skill basically and they work real nice i recommend saving them for the final boss due to the fact that he is hard.

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    Going on the assumption that its not a one time thing, sounds like itl be something to do each day.

    Any recommendations? I.E 2 clerics, veno pets suck etc etc?]

    EDIT :

    Whichever mod merged this is ****ing stupid. Its information, not speculation and a whole different topic. You just basically hid the info. Nice job, idiot.

    Nah I was wrong, everyone needs talisman to start. You can probably swap out a caster for a non caster after you start though.

    Prices of Uncanny and Raptures will be cheaper to buy now. And people who recently invested hundreds of millions on a 5aps to farm nirvy just got pwned haha and its even hard to get openers for 5aps nirvy now

    can only run caster nirvy once a day? That's lame... should limit the number of "normal" nirvy too then if that's the case... For a moment I thought the developers actually did something right for once. When they only made it maybe 1/4th there lol... they should not limit the caster nirvy... it will only keep things the way they are. Some 5 APS class will still have the upper hand in nirvy farming.

    At least I'll know my efforts in making a sin to do such things isn't in vain... even if I don't really enjoy the class nearly as much as my Mystic.
