[Glitch] Doing Caster Nirvana Without using up Nirvana Talisman

[jasty]

This glitch is now pretty common in PWI but I'm not sure if other versions know about it yet so might as well put it here for posterity. Threads about it are being removed from PWI forums so having it here will let people be able to find it with Google.

Normally casters are able to pick up 1 Talisman a day for caster nirvana and 1 or 2 more from doing BH that day. Normally 1 talisman = 1 caster nirvana run so it is really limited. With a glitch you can do almost as many caster nirvana as you want.

1) Everyone enters Nirvana with Talismans
2) Everyone but squad leader setup a catshop
3) Squad leader starts caster nirvana as normal and waits for first boss to spawn
4) Squad leader passes lead to one of the catshops
5) Everyone drops catshop and proceeds as normal

Result: Only the leader uses their Talisman and everyone else gets to keep theirs. This means only 1 Talisman is used by the squad per run instead of 6 so you can spam the instance pretty easily.

nice info, thanks.

what is the benefit of doing caster nirvana run than normal nirvana run ? and how long will it take per run ?

[jasty]

Very well geared caster squads (pretty rare) can make more than an equivalent APS squad.

A caster nirvana run drops like 2-3 times as much as a normal nirvana run and the best squads can do it in like 9 mins. Even the fastest normal nirvana runs can only do it in 4-5 mins due to all the running between rooms and then you have to take a few mins to reform the squad for the next run.

ohh I see, nice bonus for casters

Yeah before they introduced caster Nirvy it was almost impossible to get in squads unless you had a 5aps ePeen.

[Smurfin]

yea it's even possible to do it with zero caster (no cleric) and faster too >_<
it's good to have caster mode for nv, and even better with this bug

hahahha 5 aps ePeen, I laughed hard
