August 2014 Version Update Findings and Discussion

[Dotsudoku]

Except for BLU, that is

[fantasticdan]

Updated that page, but is BLU still capped at tier 2 trait (have 6 spells now)? I assume not, but my account isn't active to check.

[Alphadeus]

For Blue Mage:

Normal HP 1653 (Level 99 BLU/DNC, max hp merit, no equipment)

2 Spells : 1683 (+30)

4 Spells : 1713 (+60)

6 Spells (Last 2 spells give 15+15hp each for equip): 1803 (+120 from trait, +30 from Barrier Tusk and Glutinous Dart) I know they aren't the last two spells, Thunder Breath and Glutinous Dart are, but I wanted to save the ones that gave HP for last.


EDIT: I decided to check out Max MP Boost as well. It looks like we have 5 spells now, but I wanted to let you know that equipping the 4 spells listed gives +20 from trait, and +7 from Magic Barrier, so Max MP Boost II.

The 5th spell is Vapor Spray. Lv. 96 HP+15 VIT+4 MP 172 Blue Magic Points 3 Job Trait: Max MP Boost (4). It can be used in place of any of the other spells for II. I will double-check, but I don't think there is a 6th spell. If there is, I will test it out.

Did the update reveal what the Cipher is for the next login campaign?

[Sechs]

Nope

Does the randomizer for the title music not work? It always plays the CoP one for me.

[Kyte]

they have bitchin models, especially considering the previous skirmish weapons were just old shitty models - wonder if we'll see them getting periodic upgrades again

While they may have been old, most of the previous Skirmish weapons were nice models that either hadn't been seen for a while or were on weapons that were irrelevant on release.

I noticed that too. FFS SE, beta test your shit.

It plays a random one when I pick it, but then when I log out, it goes back to the CoP theme every single time.

[Tarage]

I think they fixed it with the patch.

[Malithar]

Not from this patch, but after a LS member mentioned seeing a new set on the model viewer post on FFXIAH, I noticed that a graphics check hadn't been done by Spira that month. Wasn't about to bump a 3 month old topic for it, but thought maybe some might wanna see a new set coming someday.

idk what to make of it, LS member swears he thinks it's Run Empy, body being very similar in color/looks to Thurandaut makes me lean towards a light bayld set. Set looks badass, but almost kinda mismatched and goofy looking. Heavy looking head and shoulders, but meh.

Post is here.

[Draylo]

I like it, I think it's bayld gear though.

[Miroku_Asura]

Head reminds me of an Onion Knight's, maybe some kind of special event gear?

[Aumaan_Kujata]

It looks a *little* bit like the (nes) ff3 "magic swordsman", mostly in the helmet, but that was more dark knight than rune fencer.

didnt dark knight and rune fencer (mystic knight, spell fencer or how you want to call it) mish and mash in certain FF titles?

[Outlaw]

I was exploring Ra'Kaznar Inner Court the other day and I saw something weird. I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye and at first I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me but it wasn't..



There was this green thing flying through the area. Circled in red. It wasn't a glitch because it kept coming back every few seconds.

[Lyramion]

How far were you in, the North West corner has a whole flock of these green thigns flying around. Just as the south east corner has cubes going up n down.

[Draylo]

It's cait sith.

[Classikmage]

Even though there is nothing to do there except EXP. Is there at least a way to teleport there once you get to the zone? Like an Enigmatic Device, or something?

[Sechs]

Afaik not yet.

Anybody tried exping/CPing in there? Is it better than WoH gates? Doubt it but asking just in case.
