| + | Dyna minions are lower level than the bosses and spawn quickly; this combined with their numbers and close proximity to each other makes them a fine leveling opportunity. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The bosses are more than advantageous, as they are the only source of some [[Rare Nanos]]. As might be expected, Dyna bosses of a species that is normally not aggressive will aggro on sight. Dyna minions of nonagressive species remain passive until they see an attack on another minion or the boss. There may be exceptions, which should be noted here. | ||

If the Dyna Boss is lead away from the main pack, by a character with sufficient runspeed, it will eventually lose track, and remain where it was last able to see the character it was chasing. The Dyna minions will similarly lose characters and linger, but if a character comes back within their wide visual range (wider than their [[Aggro]] range), they will slowly make their way back to their original positions at the Dyna Camp. | If the Dyna Boss is lead away from the main pack, by a character with sufficient runspeed, it will eventually lose track, and remain where it was last able to see the character it was chasing.

The minions can be left at the camp more easily by a higher level character to whom the minions are grey. Either use a weak attack to get a grey Dyna boss to follow, or use proximity aggro to get a green boss to follow; leaving the boss behind will require high runspeed or a [[Yalmaha]]. It is good play style to lead the Dyna Boss only a short distance and/or an area with high visibility, as Dyna Camp Bosses are very valuable to other players. Note that a mob will give XP as long as the leveling team does more than 50% of the damage. |

| + | At some point, years ago, it became much more difficult to "snipe" a specific QL of item simply by picking the level of the Dyna Camp or the boss itself. Previously the boss had dropped the same QL of items as its own level, but the loot QL became randomized; it may now be many levels higher or lower than the boss's level. For all other purposes this may be quite advantageous: characters are given a chance of loot that is higher level than they are. But items only available in one or a limited range of QLs such as the [[Mass Relocating Robot]] or a Cold Morning [[Icebreaker]] will take longer to find. | ||
