Plenty of "surprises" in this one.

Also, terrible translation on some of these notes. Either that or it was written by a preschool student.

Wonder what the augs will be for NQ Hexed gear >_>

Also, merit WS just got fucking ridiculous jesus

lv1 merit WS > old lv4 merit WS fucking shit man, i have to redo that entire category '~'

[Jem]

I guess I should get some NQ Gambieras now since I have 2 abjurations anyway. Hoarding all those abjurations that went freefall pays off!

[Rocl]

also wtf chocobo jig2

The job trait Desperate Blows may now be learned at level fifteen*.
Desperate Blows reduces delay for two-handed weapons when using Last Resort.
* The trait is learned at level fifteen, but one's degree of mastery in it will periodically increase as he rises in level.

WHHHHAT.

WHHHHAT.

That's been slated to happen for a long time? SE announced it a while back.

Also

An issue wherein the graphics of NPC "Noan" is being Galka instead of Hyur.

Mixing race names between XI and XIV lol

[Seha]

Recycle, yay!

[Kincard]

Wow, didn't expect them to actually make Lv1 WS better than old Lv4 WS.

NQ Hexed augments might be interesting...watch those honors skyrocket though. >_>;

Yay recycle patch finally.

I didn't remember the level for LR. For some reason, I was thinking the ability was level 25.

Holy fuck at this terrible translation. Here's my personal favorite:

"An issue wherein a flare-like effect will appear by looking at the character that fell beneath floor in is walking through the Rala Waterways. (PS2 only)"

They forgot this one:

An issue wherein we are now typing "an issue wherein" and subsequently using the Google Translate to content translate the words to read words the translate is update changes adjusted.

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 5
Pre-adjustment Bonus 17% 34% 51% 68% 85%
Post-adjustment Bonus 73% 76% 79% 82% 85%

I thought stage 5 was 100% mod and the new stage 1 80%?

[Damane]

NQ abjuraton synergy is nice, but waaaaaayyy to fucking late SE...

[TummieGaruda]

WHHHHAT.

Probably set in tiers:

5% @ lvl 15
10% @ lvl 40
15% @ lvl 80 or 90

Chocobo Jig II was a complete surprise

Also the WS merits, they originally said the first merit was going to be 65% with each merit giving 5% bonus, but damn I'll take 73% for the opening merit. I am so glad I moved my merits around in anticipation of this change.

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 5
Pre-adjustment Bonus 17% 34% 51% 68% 85%
Post-adjustment Bonus 73% 76% 79% 82% 85%

I thought stage 5 was 100% mod and the new stage 1 80%?

It technically is but at 99 there is a WS adjustment of 0.85 to stat mods for all WS's. So 100% mods -> 85%

[Jem]

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Stage 5
Pre-adjustment Bonus 17% 34% 51% 68% 85%
Post-adjustment Bonus 73% 76% 79% 82% 85%

I thought stage 5 was 100% mod and the new stage 1 80%?

It is. SE's values account for the alpha mod whereas when we say 100%, we don't.

Recycle, yay!

Fap fap fap fap.

Very underwhelming outside of Delve tbh. No real GEO changes and no artifact armor for the new jobs. No storyline continuation or coalition upgrades. Still no SP2s either. Hopefully there will be another patch next month with actual storyline and quests.

However, I will wait to see what goodies Delve can give before being unhappy.

edit: didnt see the reive message system in place and that is an awesome addition. Also, some jobs did get some good buffs so that's good!

[NynJa]

Whats happening? Everything is happening!!

[quote]The type of reive and their coordinates within an area are now announced via a system message whenever one commences.

very nice very nice

The prices of the key items that Dimmian in Eastern Adoulin (E-6) sells now vary depending on the fame a player accrues from completing coalition assignments and Adoulin-related quests.

Depends how the price adjustment goes and whats required. If its "get something to Deciple", I'm fucked lol.

[NynJa]

Players may now exchange medals for multiple pairs of Soul Spectacles at once from the Mummers' Coalition NPC Masad.

why no one mention this so far?

[Rocl]

Is there any reason to really merit a WS all the way now? >_>

[Yeager]

Interested to see these hexed NQ augs. Might make some of them relevant perhaps?
