.DAT Mining: 5/14/2014 Update - Findings and Discussion

2.5 is less than I was expecting

[Toth]

Holy cow O.o Well, no need to rush this lol

[Raelia]

Yeah, getting 7x Legend is just a side-job at that point. At least Delve can be spammed, might start shouting 1-5s

[Prothescar]

it's only 42 tojils. Assuming one run every 30 mins, that's only 21 hours of delve. not too bad since you can space it out as you do other parts

[Karbuncle]

Man, all this talk on mythic for RUN/GEO, I'm more disappointed in this

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

A head gear for MNK, SAM, NIN, and PUP... with Dual Wield +5... could they have not at least gone with the typical light armor jobs like THF, DNC, COR, etc?

What if we need 10 then 50 of that 2.5m item! I don't think anyone know atm

[Priran]

you need to bring a bztavian stinger, a rockfin tooth, a slice of gabbrath meat

one of these things is not like the other. you sure?

[nivlakian]

Copy pasted it from the NPC dialogue just deleting the surrounding words:

Runje Desaali : All it needs is ta be bathed in the powerrrs of nature.
Runje Desaali : And what'll ya need then? Not more'n a special ergon crystal.
Runje Desaali : So if you wanna stop bein' a scab 'n make yer wand all purrretty, brin' me...
Runje Desaali : ...a |bztavian stinger|, a |rockfin tooth|, a |slice of gabbrath meat|...
Runje Desaali : ...200 |ghastly stones|...
Runje Desaali : ...and 500 |pinches of high-purity bayld|.
Runje Desaali : Then trrrade 'em to that jamook Geosuke.
Runje Desaali : Don' look so banged up. Just get 'em bit by bit and we'll keep 'em locked away safe.

weird. maybe it just draws one mat or the other at random from each of the delve 1 bosses?

I added a screenshot to my post also. Unfortunately, I don't have the bayld necessary to do the HP Bayld portion to continue from here so someone else will have to fill in the next steps.

[Raelia]

HP Bayld will probably rain from the sky soon enough if it drops in reives often enough to have been reported in the first hours after the patch, so I wouldn't throw your regular bayld at it.

So what are we totalling up to?

600+ HP Bayld
Three+ Naakual materials.
25k Obsidian Fragments
2.5mil Plasm

it was in the notes, is why people know it comes from regular reives. I've only seen 1 in a bazaar so far

Asura had more than a few in bazaars with only 500 people logged in yet.

Not really mining related but:

I know it sounds trivial, but that half-speed running animation bugged the crap out of me. Glad they've learned to fix little thing like this and I think it's because the signal-to-noise ratio in the official forums is way up since their inception.

If you haven't been on a chocobo in a year or better, they were animating really slowly, like less than two steps per second while still running the normal speed. If you walked on one, it'd look like it was skiing. No idea how they broke it.

Chocobo movement animation was busted because of the global movement speed increase update.

Because SE adjusted the animations to be the same as before for the new normal movement speed (125% normal movement speed), but left the movement speed cap (200% normal movement speed) intact, Chocobos were running up against the movement speed cap at only 200%/125% = 160% player running speed. Thus, Chocobo max speed corresponded with the Chocobo's animation for running 160%/200% = 80% of top speed.

Thus, Chocobos could never reach their fastest running animation.

[frodnonnag]

picked up a shirpmochi +1, with nirvana, seraphicaller, relic+1 hands and af+1 legs. i'm at 1012 acc.
No acc merits, 1 point into avatar/spirit accuracy bonus.

Can also do 10k Bayld for 1 HP Bayld.

So for Run Gaddiux tells you to mine some numbling blossom seeds. Got to I-8 in that big open cove and mine the ???. Turn it into Gadd. Can do those on any job. Talking to runje but not letting me trade the hp... gunna see if something is blocking it

[Maurauc]

Jungle Nectar is purchasable in Leafallia for 2400 gil. Will attempt testing it soon.
Immediately noticable: MND+3, VIT-2, MP+10.
Didn't test with pets. Someone else will have to do that.

So it seems if you try to mine there again it will say you failed but your KI resonates with something deeper in the earth... keep chosing the keep going option and you will get the KI broken rapier hilt. Go to Runje and she will tell you to trade her the HPs. This gets you vial of crimson catalyst KI. Go to Octavien. He says go to the watergarden coliseum in rala waterways at M-6

So is it impossible to get the weaponskills without unlocking the first stage of the weapons?
