DAT Mining DISCUSSION- May 15, 2012

[Septimus]

Discussing the dat mined information found here.

[Sanlord]

Hey man I don't remember the name of the software to do Dat mining I used to love to do Dat mining in FFXIV.

[Arthars]

Just to post that the JP patch notes say something like "EQUIPMENT drop rate increase" while the NA one says "Spoils" for watcher

SE and the habbit of being cooler with the JP playerbase

[agerknux]

With the description of those tribunes, does that mean SE secretly wants to bring it back?

[Byrthnoth]

It looks very unlikely that SE made it any easier to level crafts based on Septimus' item lists. That also leaves me wondering what the heck the VUpdate size was for, though. Based purely on their descriptions, it looks like they added 0 new animations/monster models and should just have adjusted some old .dats. How did it end up being 45MB?

If they do, it will probably be with the next major content patch. This seems like it was a minor patch, mainly adding in event items (Vana'versary and Summer Fest it seems) and job adjustments. I am looking forward to the Vana'versary, event may be a lot of fun.

That said, we should wait for Spira to look at the patch to see what new animations, mobs, armors, weapons, etc they may have snuck in to prepare for the next patch.

No new bonecraft synths unfortunatley

This intrigues me a little, as this surely could have been of use years ago before the GoV style xping of low level jobs. Maybe with the amount of xp it grants, and the 100% bonus, they're trying to ween us off those and do regular parties again using this to make up for the GoV bonus per page? I dunno, just seems like it's a few years too late to be super useful, no?

[Taim Meich]

It's still the best thing to breeze from 1 to ~15. Or even better, to get augments in Relic +2 gear faster.

[Selamis]

Oh man, I totally forgot about Dynamis xp for trials, shit, yeah.

[Dew]

All of the hume f face/hair dats except F2A and B were updated today. Anyone have any idea what they changed with them?

[Weeks]

Experience rings are still a small bonus to GoV, and personally I'd rather GoV all the way to 99 than spend all day waiting for a non-RMT party to form that struggles to break 100k/hour anyway.

[Lyramion]

EXP rings are for Dyna trials

[Joran]

Would anyone like a bowl of Moogurt? I got it from abusing my Mog Missle.

And I'm seriously considering re-meriting my BLU. Otherwise, it seems all glitz and glamor. But hey, its a minor update.

Anyone else having trouble proccing crap in Dynamis?

I'm not. Just had a really good run. 43 forgotten/486 currency dual boxed. If anything, I wonder if proc/drop rates have gone up. That's about 30 currency above my next best run, and it was crowded as feck. Wasted a buncha time changing camps. Can't figure out how I got so much more than usual. Random number generator liked me today? <,<;

[dasva]

So that maccro pallet thing is rather noticeable I likely. And wtf is with them not adding a lot of stuff they said they would in the mid may update!?!

I got 190 before the patch while dynamis was overcrowded with bsts when i usually get 120~140 on a decent/average day. It's just the random number generator.
