Convergence logging with arcdps
Caution:
Logging Convergences creates large files, often over 30MB each.
Logging Convergences requires map logging. Instead of logging a specific boss, you log the whole map from the moment you enter it to when you leave. This allows you to have just 1 file for a Convergence, but it does become rather large.
To log a map in ArcDPS, simply add the Map IDs to the Logging section, and check the 'save map logs' checkbox.
The Map IDs are:
- 1523 - Convergence: Outer Nayos (Public)
- 1527 - Convergence: Outer Nayos (Private Squad)
- 1562 - Convergence: Mount Balrior (Private Squad)
- 1571 - Convergence: Mount Balrior (Public)
After the map completes, find the file on your computer. You can then either process it yourself with Elite Insights, or upload it straight to https://dps.report.
