3 Box lvl 75
# Apr 26 2024 at 12:51 AM Rating: Decent
Trio'd Cynosure with 75 SK DRU MNK (no mercs).
Took out 3 arbiters 1 at a time, then Cyno. Longish fight what with the heals and mana/end drains and used quite a few things, staunch recovery, steadfast servant, intensity of the resolute.
Druid is 75% raid geared for TSS level, SK is mostly raid geared at OOW level - both have full AA's - Monk is not raid geared and has about 500 AA's though does have epic 2.0
Was killing him for the monk weapon but didn't drop.

Thought I would post incase others on TLP's are interested in roughly when and how they can take him down.

Spawn time on this mob anyone? looking for chaos runes on FV.
Muramite armor ?
# Jun 26 2014 at 8:25 PM Rating: Decent
Anyone can tell me if you ever see Cynosure drop 2 pieces of muramite armor in replacement of real drop ?

I know he can drop 1 armor piece that replace a real drop but is it possible he do that with 2 drop ?

thx

So I followed the advice that others posted and after Cyno 2.0 popped I killed 3 of the 4 healers and then took out Cyno.

Very long fight...probably took me 25 minutes or so. He did drop 2 shards so I was a happy camper.

Anyway, my question is what happens if you kill all 4 healers before you try and take down Cyno? Do they all respawn or what? Why do you only take out 3?
Just curious...

If you kill all 4, one of them respawns. There appears to always be one up
Group of 5

Took Shaman, Ranger, and Boxed Cle/Shd/Nec to kill.
Killed Cyno, 4 healers and Real Cyno popped. Then we killed the first three of the four healers.
Began our battle against Real Cyno. Didn't time it, but was at least 40mins. Used up all the boxed charaters mana at 40percent(not sure on shaman/ranger), cast jester in hopes for fom on a charater.
Of all people, the Shd gets fom from jester.

Long battle, Nec was able to use Blood Magic twice during battle.
Everyone even cle was beating on him.

Dropped Handwraps of Captured Magic, Shawl of void and two shard of dark matter.
Times have changed lol

Took him down with 8 people.
6 Mains (SHM, WAR, RNG, ROG, SK, MNK) Demi/DK Geared
2 bots (CLR, DRU) PoP/Bazaar Geared

At no point was anyone in danger of being killed,
could have probably even done it without the 2 bots.
took maybe... 12-15 min?
Our STRAT
# Oct 06 2006 at 2:43 PM Rating: Excellent
Our guild took down Cynosure in Qvic with 26 people of Time/Qvic lvl gear. There was two sleeves along with the BIC quest item and the alternate access to Qvic piece.

We were going off of a partial strategy that I got from asking bards on other servers and we now have a more tuned strat for future kills:

1. Multiple bards have resist songs on.
2. MT engages Cynosure 1.0 and we take him down as a raid team.
3. Cynosure 2.0 spawns along with his 4 healers.
4. Entire raid concentrates on taking down three of the four healers one at a time starting with North east, then South East, then North west ignoreing the other healer mobs and cynosure.
5. (replacement healers will spawn that only mimic cynosure and dont heal but cast the same aoe and dmg spells he does)
6. MT with heal rotation and entire raid engage Cynosure 2.0.

During this last battle the 3 replacement/respawn healers will be casting on ppl but no doing any melee dmg since they are perma rooted. But the raid needs to stay alert to zone trash repops that love to jump in the pit with us and take out ppl.
Only one of his four healers will be doing healing and will heal about 10-20% of Cynosures health for every 20% that we do so that makes for a longish fight.
Healer mobs are unstunnable and un silenceable. Unknown if they can be mana tapped to zero to prevent their healing.
All five mobs are perma rooted so no need to preposition tanks at the four corners.
Inku'Ta?
# Jul 08 2006 at 2:30 AM Rating: Decent
Does this mob help you get into Inku'Ta? Was checking Magelo (when clicked my progress says something about Inku'Ta), but I am not sure if I have killed him or not. Also, was wondering if you have to hail anyone afterward to get a flag, because then I would know that I have not attended this event. I know I've done something in Qvic, but I don't remember.

Anybody know the spawntime on Cyno? We got a bunch of peeps at this stage of the Qvic Alt Access, and, being one of them, I know they would all love to finish!
Quick question.

Was just wondering if Cynosure is a triggered event or if you just happen to be lucky enough to catch him up before other guilds kill him? Been needing the BiC piece off him for quite some time with no luck of finding him up or any info regarding how to spawn him if he is triggered.

#Winspearean, Posted: Mar 08 2006 at 12:09 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Cynosure on Tunare was the the most roundly hated guild and it wasn't because they were better than everyone else, it was because they were the biggest asshats on the server, hands down. They were nothing but an elemental guild when GoD came out and they sure as hell weren't the first, second, third or anything to accomplish that. They were way behind Stars, Divine Crusade and Talisman as far as progression or accomplishing anything. Their ******** of a guild leader, Seryne, named the guild after this mob.

So amusing to see the arrogance that was always the trademark of Cynosure coming out in this thread. Cyno never were the 'be all and end all' of guilds on Tunare, they were the wanna-be-all guild. Thanks to the people who looked up the actual meaning of the word, as at least it enables those who come after to realise the true meaning of it.

I can't speak for all of Cynosure but I do know Euzena (see post below) and she is a sweetheart, quite different than Moray's description.

Just a little FYI on the guild - I was an officer of Cynosure when the remaining members were gracefully absorbed by Black Tower in April 2005. I'm not sure the NPC was named after our guild, but who knows? Kinda cool nonetheless!

kid, like the person your replying to even cares anymore, way to go 2 and a half years later you reply.

See heres the thing if your replying to someone with information that isnt for the game itself and just abuot a persons opinion etc. it doesnt matter after 4 months.

Yet you thought replying after 2 and a half years later the person would keep it in the level of caring as you think after reading this for the first time. Your a failure.

Origin of mob's name
# Dec 01 2005 at 2:02 PM Rating: Default
This mob is actually named after a guild that once existed on the Tunare server. Cynosure was the first guild to do anything and everything. They were the top guild period at one time. Though they split up sometime ago, the former guild leader resides on Tunare and is a friend of mine. Just alittle info = )
RE: Origin of mob's name
# Dec 04 2005 at 9:52 PM Rating: Default
Thank you for the definition of "cynosure". My post on the origin of the mobs name was not to list the actual definition of the word "cynosure" but rather to give info on "why" the NPC had the name that it did. It was named after the actual guild "Cynosure" that once existed on the Tunare server. That was the point of the post. My apologies if I was not clear on my meaning.
RE: Origin of mob's name
# Dec 28 2005 at 2:59 AM Rating: Default
I think he may have mentioned that tidbit in an effort to portrat his opinion that the definition of the word "cynosure" was the reason the NPC was named as such and not because of the former guild "Cynosure". I myself don't know the real scoop but that's what I think he was trying to say.

Not to rain on your parade, but "cynosure" means "one that serves to direct or guide" or "center of attraction or attention."

My guild just recently entered Qvic. We've been farming it nonstop every 6hrs for the nice new armor. Did this mob today with 24peeps. Everyone was level 70. It was close in the end but we did him NP, and that was with one arbiter still up.

Curious, you all Time geared? Or is it now possible to enter Qvic earlier due to the level cap being raised?

Not a rough fight. Far easier than learning Uqua+Barxt encounter. Doable with your regular 54 GoD force, very straight forward.
