    Here's the actual link:
    http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/37575

    In summary, there are a few convenience things added to Monstrosity / the game, but otherwise there's very little that matters going on this update.

    The attack, defense, accuracy, evasion, magic accuracy, and magic attack of wyverns will now increase based on the item level of the weapon equipped in the main hand.
    I thought they did this already? When you equip an Upukirex, your Wyvern's damage basically doubles, and its evasion/hp/def skyrocket as well. Also Magic Attack doesn't enhance Wyvern breaths, HP does. This is exemplified by when you Spirit Link+Empathy a Magic Attack boost from an Ascetics tonic or a Wizard Roll to your Wyvern it doesn't increase potency; however if you use Deep Breathing and simply let it wear off it will say "[Wyvern Name]'s Magic Attack Boost wears off".

    In the live update itself, sure, but we're getting a lot more than that with this update. Looking at 1911 files, seems very high. New area/s, gear, mobs, etc for sure. Should be pretty tantalizing once its .dat mined. They mentioned new synth recipes in this update, but I'd bet they're just in place for the November update.

    "Skyrocket" is hardly accurate. The wyvern gained something like ~100 HP (from 1400 or so) when you equip the Upukirex. The other upgrades were similarly modest from my experience.

    From what I understood, before they just did a quick fix of "your wyvern now has the stats it would have at level 113/119/whatever". Now they seem to be giving an additional flat bonus to those stats depending on the item level.

    Next update should be R/E/M updates, SP2 abilities, new missions/quests/zones,job adjustments, spells. Basically what we should have gotten on day 1 of SOA back in march.

    Did they say it will include SP2 abilities? I haven't seen an official post mentioning them in a long time. I've seen a recent point saying that they might add new JAs or spells in the future, but not slating it for next update.

    http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics...62/detail.html

    November update is:
    * New Adoulin areas
    * Hard Mode fights
    * MvP Monstrosity mode
    * NPCs in Reives
    * RME Update
    * Vague hints at new missions/quests
    * Vague hints at solo/lowman content, which might be included in the list above

    I don't know about your Wyvern but my Wyvern gained a 10% max HP boost from Upukirex. Wyverns have much more than 1000 HP at 99. My Wyvern's evasion went from 23% on Mandies outside Adoulin to 74% basically from floored to capped. Before Upukirex, wyvern was hitting mandies for ~70-80, with Upukirex was hitting for 160-190.

    Back in August they said new SP2 would be in the autumn update but that was before the update was split into oct/nov.

    If I'm reading what you wrote correctly, what you observed probably means that Deep Breathing is programmed the same as Convergence. It's possible that they are giving a constant percent boost based on iLVL, which would be helpful-ish.

    Damage I'll grant you. Looking at my parse where I had her solo LAC last night, when I equipped Ryu for the trial kill, her damage dropped from ~350 a hit to ~160. As for HP though, equipping an Upu (vs nothing) on an already summoned wyvern only took them down to 94% hp. Which given that a level 99 wyvern had ~1400 hp, puts the boost at around 90 hp.

    Edit: Post update, Upu adds 206 HP (Tested with spirit link).
