if ifrit X is the same difficulty as 1.x then i don't think we have too much to worry about for bads getting relics

[Evane]

Doubt it. NA and EU servers are one and the same for now.

[Reve]

Don't forget that it's Lv.50 relics. They have stated that the level cap will increase at some point and it's almost certain that the relics will grow too from other types of quests.

Anyone in this thread who got a PS3 code are you NA or a different region?

EU here

[ArchDizzle]

Still Hope NA hasnt went out yet!

Limit breaks will make some parts of that fight much much easier.

Thinking about what Yoshi said about fishing, I think what's going to happen is that NPCs will sell fish at a very low price. That would stop the RMTs from profiting on that front, lower the price of the sea foods and allow everyone to suckless ACC wise. Win, win and win.

The only hard part about Ifrit X is clearing the nails away in time, and if limit breaks are useful it should make that part of the fight waaaay easier.

Ultimately I don't really care if they make initial relics easier to get as long as the upgrades to those relics is challenging (not annoying or long-winded).

What did yoshi say about fishing? I don't have time to watch the video right now. I was really hoping I could fish a few before work and make some cash

Given earlier statements about progression being from relics -> Crystal Tower weapons -> relics+1 upgraded by doing Labyrinth of Bahamut, that seems to be the case.

Fishing is purely for relaxation and personal achievements now

this lol

DPS limit breaks are single target and from yesterday's recap the community team dudes said that it would be difficult to pull out a Lv2 limit break in that short time. I hope you could like build up the limit break gauge ahead of time and it doesn't reset during zoning like other buffs.

[Khrno]

I thought Meteor was AoE, while the MNK/DRG LB were single target. Just saying that BLM might be more useful this time instead of just DRG/MNKs.

oh wtf

Do you happen to have a source for this? All I can find are comments that say it goes Relics -> Crystal Tower weapons > Labyrinth of Bahamut weapons (such as this). I can't find anything about upgrades.

Not calling you a liar but I'm curious about where it came from.

back then when they introduced relics Yoshi P said those relics will be upgradeable however probably with increasing the lvl cap not now, we will see later i guess

[Sephiroth]

I posted a summary of the live letter here http://www.ffxivinfo.com/news.php?i=...er-roundup-400 in case anyone missed it.

[Vuitton]

So if Fishing is just a fun time hobby, should it even be considered a class/job/whatever? Let me fish as a MNK or BLM or WHM, ect.

I'm meant the Labyrinth part. I remember the upgrades being mentioned, it's just the first time I have seen them linked to Bahamut's Labyrinth

If the upgrades are available when ARR launches, it makes sense for them to be in the hardest raid, I just can't remember seeing it anywhere
