XXIV: I AM VIV

XXV: wtf bynes.

Jesus Christ the old thread was started three years ago. SE hasn't done anything to fix drop rates, huh.

I'll go with the Isla thread:

Which was this, from a random reive in Marjami Ravine.

I guess it's time to level GEO...

I did like 5 hrs Reives in the new zones yesterday and not a damn thing. I even did Reives in Ceizek, Morimar, and Forret and nothing there either. Lucky you! Was it a Colo. or Lair Reive you got this from?

Shirai · 2013-07-10 11:53

It was the second Colo on the way to the spot where you get the key item you need for the "Climbing" quest.

Although I'd personally rather get the smn one

Is it even confirmd that the JSE capes can drop in the olde colo zones like ceizek morimar and forret?

Old thread lasted three years, will this be the final one we get for FFXI?!

This is exactly where I'm at minus doing reives in the older zones. Did both newer zones and nothing. Few people in my group got capes, but not a damn one of them anyone wanted.

Unrelated, but is that normal to not show up on Guildwork like that and instead show as ..?

**Mythe_Seraph** · 2013-07-10 22:58

Dang this is a milestone. The last drop thread was made before I quit the game!

Yeah, a little worried about that. XD

**Jakson** · 2013-07-12 20:01

So does it actually give you the +188 GA Skill? I read that it might not actually be skill but a mistranslation and have to do with something else (BLU Spells? idk)

Edit: this post is what made me think it doesn't actually do what it would appear to do. I suppose now that I reread it, maybe it means more like if you had Hunaphu and another axe, the "Axe Skill +188" would only apply to Hunaphu, though I really have no idea.

**Tricen** · 2013-07-12 20:06

The +skill thing is there so they don't have to add "+x acc" "+x att" lines of text. I assume it makes it easier to add a wider range of stat boosts. The skill+ only affects the weapon slot it's equipped, so I think it's a way for them to try to get people to not offhand a weapon for a specific stat or something? I don't know what the goal there is for. Myabe for dual wielding different weapon types? A sword with +x sword skill wont increase the acc/att of the offhand weapon. Possibly so that you don't have a +30acc sword and a +30acc nonsword and have a total of +60cc to your entire melee swings, but that youhave +sword skill for you main hand and +x skill for you offhand so that they don't cause gratuitous amounts of stat stacking. Who really knows though

That would be SE's logic, give us plently of Magic evasion (up to 36) in one slot along with a ton of other very nice things (DEX+31) or (+25) in one slot, and then on the other hand giving us weapons which would only nearly double one particular melee skill, just to not share any accuracy bonus with a sub different weapon.

Your pov is solid to me, thats what SE would do.

It straight up gives me +188 Parrying skill (even shows on the Combat Skill menu), but the G.Axe skill doesn't show. It does however convert into Attack and Accuracy at the same rate as expected (tested on Attack, assumed on Accuracy - but why wouldn't it?).

Not having to broaden the combat skill window to accommodate for four-digit numbers, preventing people from taking gigantic strides in combat skill to unlock WS that they shouldn't be able to, keeping dual-wielders' accuracy and attack from climbing disproportionately

I mean, it makes sense

Agree with your point but curious, what weapon skills can you unlock based on the weapons that are out right now with +skill that you shouldn't already have? Talking about an abyssea burned war that has lvl 30 cap GAX skill getting raging rush?

thats actually a good point, not to mention the fact that usually only the jobs that get anyway almost all or all WSs of the weapon category are on those weapons. But we dont know which older weapons lvl 100+ get the skill after the next update. Even then I still dont see the issue, I mean its not like they would get any additional WS after the ones introduced in abyssea unless there is something underway that introduces new WSs
