    December 2012 Version Update - BGWiki Update

    So the update has come and gone. Although some new Meeble Burrows content (Batallia Downs expeditions) was delayed, this update still brought about a great deal of new and updated content.

    Update changes can be found here, including all of the new quests, items, and key items:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/December_...Update_Changes

    A series of quests beginning with "Researchers from the West" has been added, with a storyline tie-in for Seekers of Adoulin and a great deal of new teleporation options:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Researchers_from_the_West

    A new category with information for level 99 Salvage has been added, along with all of the new associated armor sets and new pages for each new Remnants battlefield:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Salvage_(Level_99)

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Arrapago_Remnants_II
    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Bhaflau_Remnants_II
    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Silver_Sea_Remnants_II
    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Zhayolm_Remnants_II

    These Remnants pages are definitely a work in progress (any maps on the pages are just placeholders for now, while we develop new ones), but they are developing rapidly (the text descriptions for Arrapago II and Silver Sea II are nearly complete). Feel free to add and edit them with any new information you may discover.

    Changes to event retry timers (Limbus/Salvage), spells (especially bard songs), and job abilities (reduction of SP timer to 1 hour), have all been reflected on the associated pages. Nyzul Uncharted Area Survey page has been updated with the eased restrictions on astraria and floor jumps.

    Updates to Meeble Burrows pages will take some time as the schedule of research marks rewards has been completely changed when entering expeditions with more than three players (and all boss expeditions now yield a lower amount). If you have done Meeble Burrows since the update, it would be greatly helpful if you would post the expedition you did, how many people you had, which goal you completed, and how many marks you got on the MB thread for a faster compilation of data:

    It would also help if you post any information you have regarding the new worms you get when clearing an expedition as well as the new "Palimpsest" items.

    As an update to this, all four Salvage II areas now have nearly complete and accurate information and the Waypoint quests have been filled out with areas and positions.

    This is useful, please continue/I like this/You should [____]/I don't like this/Why did you waste your time gtfo

    Input please. Obvious input is going to be to add what mobs unlock what, I just think it gets too cluttered...So, if you want to suggest that, kindly draw how I should do it. Other comments welcome.

    The map is nice and I like it. Maybe remove the boxes around the icons, use high contrast colours for the icons or different icon shapes for different mob class/paths? Just some nitpicking suggestions.

    I've done all of Bhaflau..technically..map three isn't actually pieced together yet (all the layers are there I just have to align them and re-order them but I am lazy). Yugl put together a template for Arrapago (and by extension, ZR), so those can be done up soon. I have the template for SSR because it's Bhaflau's mirror, but I've never been in the zone so I'm hesitant to actually do anything on it. I suppose I could read and transpose, I'm just an incredibly visual person..I need to see the things there. Yeah, I'm weird.

    Thinking of using that page as the redirect. The info for the general disambiguation is somewhat inaccurate (Chariots/Temp items) and when you remove that stuff, you end up with very little info there.

    Changed the paragraph language to quick points so people can read through easier.

    Happy New Year everyone! The New Years event is underway - guide here:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/New_Year_2013/Guide

    After you check out the summoners in most zones, I highly recommend you try the Valkurm Dunes "easter egg" version. Has some quite comical dialogue upon trading items to the roaming NPCs there. Inside the spoiler here for those who don't feel like going out there:

    Spoiler: show
    The NPCs in Valkurm are Gleeful Gukumatz and three of his peiste friends instead of Leviathan and three summoners. Trading items to Gukumatz will initially yield the normal rewards with the following text (edit: according to fantasticdan below, you can't get the shield from Guku/Kukulkan, just the galette):

    (The blessings of the New Year upon thee... The world is ever changing, with each instant different than the one before. Yet the skies tell me that things will continue looking up!)
    (Tohoho, that look in your eyes could pierce through the souls of a thousand wandering spirits. That's well and good, but...where are we?)

    However, trading items to him repeatedly after obtaining the initial rewards will yield the following dialogue:

    (Yearly tidings to ye... I sense that the world is in a state of flux. The clouds in the sky do not bode well...)
    (Sobek's skin is all you can think of? I shall let you have time to reflect upon yourself and your deeds.)

    ...and he petrifies you, lol.


    Edit: Seems there's an easter egg version in Konschtat also. You can probably figure out who it is if you know who the other one is.

    I wasn't able to get the shield in valkurm. Maybe it's possible, but he just petrified me every single time if I already had the r/ex food in my inventory, for over 10 attempts. Went outside of bastok and got in a few trades.

    Oh lame, guess you have to do it with the stupid summoners. BTW, if you haven't done this yet, widescan works and is super helpful.

    I got the shield from Kukulkan on my mule; it took many more trades, exacerbated by the petrification.

    Not really december update relate, but I feel I have tested mythics to the extent reasonable and updated bgwiki with what I found.

    Here is a list of what is still known to be unknown:
    1) Snapshot on Gastra (and Increases Barrage Accuracy/scaling, but that's kind of irrelevant)
    2) Enmity properties of Yagrush's Divine Benison enhancements
    3) Ranged Attack, Ranged Accuracy, Magic Accuracy, and Occasionally deals double/triple damage scaling with TP. Also, Accuracy for some weapons.
    4) Kogarasamune's Third Eye enhancement still needs to be investigated more thoroughly.
    5) Kenkonken's "Enhances Overload Suppression" has not been quantified.
    6) Aymur's pet Attack Bonus is substantial and static, but has not been exactly quantified.
    7) I remember Burtgang's "Reduces Enmity Decrease while taking damage" to be about -10% enmity loss (specifically, enmity was calculated as if you had +10% HP), but I don't remember where the testing is and I don't know if it scales.
    8 )Tupsimati might be useful if its Enmity reduction surpasses the cap and stacks with the gear term (similar to SCH empyrean body). Untested.

    That's all I've got.

    So the old New Year mini-quest for Battledore and Hoary Spire is still in the game, and I added it into the New Year event guide:

    https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/New_Year_2013/Guide

    I just copied it from a previous year's guide with minor tweaks, feel free to make any modifications to it as necessary.
