Synergistic Splendors Await! (29/11/2010)

Synergists of Vana'diel, start firing up your furnaces! The upcoming version update will see the upper limit of Synergy skill raised to level 80 (Artisan), and with a host of recipes—featuring lavish new furnishings and much, much more—there's sure to be something for everyone to enjoy!

Headlining the recipe book are the guild stalls first announced at VanaFest 2010. These opulent items are prime examples of the perfect marriage between form and function, as they will proudly display your passion for your chosen craft, while giving you a significant crafting skill increase to boot!

And why stop there? You can decorate your stall further with yet more stylish items depicting the finest wares each guild has to offer. Certain items can be crafted via synergy, while others can be obtained in exchange for the guild points acquired through certain guild quests.

These furnishings are just the tip of a massive iceberg of items that no synergist worth his or her fewell will want to miss!

I waited all weekend for this? If the next notes aren't about them fixing WoE, i'm going to pop a blood vessel.

[pnavaja]

been camping pol.com 2hrs for update notes expecting job abilities/spells or new weapon skills or woe news and we get this.... im goin back to bed.

Hey, it's the obligatory DERP update. Everyone say it with me!

DERP!

similarly. tho I was also doing some other rubbish stuff.

new furnishings to me have always been in the category of cool but useless lol... An avid crafter might disagree but then again nothing good really requires crafting anymore

[CubsWoo]

SE devs upset nobody cares about synergy, makes synergy-crafted items a requirement for the next Empyrean stage.

[Gokulo]

What the S-E :<

[NynJa]

YES! Now I'm 69 levels behind on synergy instead of 59! I know ONE person on my server with synergy leveled...ONE. Gimme some patch preview that tells me if my relics are going to get shat on some more or if theyre going to get some positive attention ffs.

[Alkar]

This is funny lol. At this rate we'll find out the job updates through mining tomorrow instead of getting notes. Why wait so long to announce new spells/ja?

[Massimo]

Tomorrow wat. There's still a full week 'til the update hits. lol at this though.

Guess this is what they mean, though this normally just DAT files I believe, cant remember if scrolls and such are added, know stats arn't.

Some of that stuff looks nice, but until I can have a seperate place for furnature in a safe I wont be using any of this.

I do recall people in the past complaining a bit about how they don't know how to build hype, since they sometimes show derp updates a day before the patch. Since we know they read BG, obviously they decided to show the things you guys really care about last now!

My problem with purtying up Mog Houses is that you have to specifically get people to enter your Mog House to show them your fabulous decorating sense, but there's really nothing to do inside a mog house outside of standing around and chatting, which is done quite well using linkshell chat. It also gets in the way of more gameplay-centered space issues, because apparently furniture is kept in storage even when it's put out on display. Guess that's going to be solved with this patch too, though.

I feel kinda bad for the graphics design team going through all that trouble making stuff that looks pretty good that very little of the population is actually going to see in-game.

Also, those of you who F5 the playonline page constantly have no sympathy from me.

THE PS2 CANT HANDLE UPDATES OF THIS MAGNITUDE!

Oh yeah, I missed that one. Still, it should just be animations/models like usual.

[miokomioko]

that update note was worth it just for the dead crab

[Alkar]

It doesn't matter. We usually find out new things anyway. We won't know the effects of each new spell or ability but at least we know who's getting something new. BLU is a good example usually.
Maybe this time they're hiding something big in the job adjustments but I won't really get that excited yet.

Wonder what this means.

[aduidarnenye]

I hate it when they add more furnishings because they refuse to recognise that the mog safe is not big enough to really decorate a mog house. If I didn't have a bunch of stuff for jobs I'd love to put some cool furnishings into my mog house and make it look all pretty and nice. But sadly, I have one of those 65 slot wall hangings and a 20 slot bookshelf or something similar. Very boring. Give us a separate inventory menu for furnishings!

[Byrthnoth]

I couldn't give a shit about furnishings in general, but if these new furnishings let us break tier on high level synths, that'd be pretty cool!

[calinz]

Wonder what this means.

Provides advanced support without having to go to NPC and pay for it, but does not stack with the advanced support of the same craft(or other crafts), maybe?
