I am glad that they are going to make a quest for it. Hopefully there will be some lore involved and a nice story.

No fair Being able to solo those panels was really the only thing Galkas had going for them.

is this an actual complaint yet

"Looks like time and sand busted these weight sensors! I found this item that exploits them in this state, here you go!"


I don't hold it to SE to actually design new quests these days, unless they can find a way to tie it into Magian somehow.

A magian trial that will make you a fatass? Somehow this all fits together.

[Priran]

now that I think about it, a quest in a MMO for which the reward is becoming heavier is pretty meta

This is going to make it harder getting onto airships with their new weight restrictions. Last time I tried to get through customs with a Matsya on me and they made me discard it.

Trial Conditions: Eat 5000 Sweets while wearing the Kupo Bib.

[Sagacious Sundi]

I wonder if there'll be any incentive for Galka to do it, beyond completionism and maybe lore (but I doubt it'll have much of the latter).

ZNm "Adjustments"

Howdy!

As Yoky has stated above, during the next version update we will be making it so Tinnin's Fang, Sarameya's Hide, and Tyger's Tail are a 100% drop rate.

Further adjustments to the Zeni Notorious Monster will take place at a later date.

Synergy/Synth

It’s been quite a bit of time since our last post about synthesis and synergy. With one update about to occur and future update planning taking place now, we’d like to get some good hard feedback about the synergy system. What would you like to see happen with synergy going forward? What kind of adjustments/changes/new things are you interested in? Let us know!

There are already a lot of you that have posted on this, but for good measure I have a couple requests before you submit feedback:

•If you haven’t already read the post I made previously about the future of synthesis and synergy, please do so.
•Please give us constructive feedback.
•Please avoid any abstract expressions and post specific content.
•We’d appreciate it if you would post suggestions as a set with problems and not just the points you feel are problematic.

Also, just one more personal request…

I will be sure to read each and every one of your posts, so there is really no need to change the font size or color to make it stand out more. Just be sure to not create huge walls of text because that makes it pretty tough for me to get through it when there are a ton of posts to read. With that said, just consider little old Camate, so I can better convey your feedback to the development team.

Looking forward to all of your ideas and requests!

• Players victorious in the battlefields at the Spires of Holla, Dem, Mea, and Vahzl will receive items that may, in turn, be traded to the NPC Shami to claim rewards.

Fun. Fun. Fun.

[Byrthnoth]

I just hope they have awesome names again. Did anyone ever figure out how to solo ones from the last patch? I have something like 1500 KCs that I have 0 use for.

[Colenzo]

we we we so excited

[Buffy]

At the rate we're getting update information, the level cap increase is coming in December.

Of 2012.

There isn't much more for them to say for this update besides an official notice for ZNM/VW adjustments. Unless they're going to magically pull a real content update's worth of content out of their ass last minute.


Damn game getting stagnent, need to get the lvl99 cap over with so they can start rebalancing the madness in this game and re-develop content around it so I'm not stuck farming Abyssea for 5+ more months because there isn't anything else better to do daily.

Spoiler: show

I'd love to do VW daily, but the stone thing is too limiting, even if I were to blow all my CP/IS/AN on purchasing dust.

[Byrthnoth]

Eh~! I don't think it's last minute yet. Mid September is still three weeks off, and they could probably push it to late September without any kind of notice based on the last thing they said.

You know, looking at the update list again... I'm betting the best JA added in the next patch will be Marcato. RDM+BLM each seem to get mini-version of their 2-hour abilities (though RDM's is questionably useful because of JA delay), so if Marcato is a mini-Soul Voice we'd be looking at (Marcato-March)/Min V + Haste for capped magic Haste with Minuet V, eh? If it stacks with Troubador and is on a 5 minute delay, you could keep that combination up 3/4 of the time.

or you could just buy it off the AH

There's never enough on AH for a full group of 18 to just buy their way to more stones.

Granted I should probably stock up and use dust now while VW isn't as popular. 5k a pop, and I usually get 150-200k from each run (6-9 kills depending on time), save me some stones for when there's more than 3 worthwhile things to kill and not get drops on.

It's still a retarded system though. The drop rates are extremely low to begin with, why limit how many times you can do it also?

[Colenzo]

good point

[Colenzo]

im bad at math but is 3 times a week for voidwatch too much ? think ill run out of stones if im doin it 3 hours a day 3 times a week? o.o

[Kaisha]

My LS does two runs a week, 6-9 kills a run. That's 12-18 stones used a week, which is way more than what we get even with the KI that lowers stone recharge by 4 hours.

We're eventually going to run out and have to resort to buying dust as a group. I'll probably get in the groove of doing a couple Campaign battles each week since I can get a stone's worth out of each battle.



If you want to break even you shouldn't be doing more than 7 kills a week. But unfortunately that's not enough kills to get at least two bodies to drop each week.
