General Update Changes (May-09-11)

[Thalandor46]

Does the Tandem Necklace get augmented at all from the trial, or is it just there as a trial tracker?

[Teeko]

Has anyone got a HQ pop from faf, ada or behe yet, 0/10 so far....

[Karbuncle]

Talk to Luto to activate NPC cap quest, go talk to the Normal Magian moogle and he gives you necklace (you're past this).

Trade Necklace to the Armor Magian Moogle, He'll inscribe it with Trial 4444, Go kill 30 Enemies that yield exp (Yes, Only 30)

Trade Necklace back to moogle and you'll get a Chunk of Copper-Somehting. Trade the Copper to Luto

And thats all

[Alkar]

Got Eraser from ENM.

[Kametame]

friend reporting that regular melee hits from automatons now give ruby light in abyssea.

Confirming this. How do you manage to screw that up, SE?

[Ocara]

Confirming radar isn't working to show vnms anymore. Maybe just being displayed differently? Or they got clever with the hiding.

Assuming you're talking about ApRadar, but the same thing is happening for Mappy.

Yeah I was actually using Mappy too, but they read the same data. I saw someone report for radar before.

[NynJa]

Theres probably a new memloc for it...does it show corpses? Nvm, just found out it does show corpses, so it has to be a new memloc that reports its location.

[Wenslydale]

DB issue must not be 100% fixed. Somehow 10000 gil got lost between the AH and my mules DB. It's only 10k but still.


edit: Just got a message from a GM. I guess it may take 24 hours or so for the system to sort itself out.

[Atoreis]

TH7, TH9, TH11 and 0/3 trigger for Nidhogg.

[Korialstrasz]

I don't suppose anyones found a Grounds of Valor Area where the book isn't 15 minute walk from the mobs you actually fight?

Zeruhn Mines isn't too bad, since it's such a tiny area. Everything was EP (didn't aggro) to 90 though and more suited to a lvl 70-80 character. Page 5 kinda blows though, since it requires 2 leech kills that are waaaaaaay in the back. Got 1700 exp and 170 tabs. Woo.

Got an elixir from a brown box, and a lucid ether III from a blue.

[Malacite]

Combat merits back to normal now.

But yeah last night I had 20 points and was only able to get level 6. When I looked at the menu earlier today it was back to 3. Fucking SE, I want my points back >: P


Also, I don't remember seeing it in patch notes anywhere but they updated the icons for the NIN universal tools; they all have unique pictures in the inventory now and not that stupid little bag icon.

[Maliciousmisery]

Add effects on my twilight knife don't proc at all. Anyone else having this happen?

Edit: Nvm, unequipping fixed it.

[urat]

Looks like either we werent 100% on how NPC armor upgrades or SE significantly slowed down the rate of upgrades for armor, killing 50+ of the mob type for my NPCs armor doesn't get an upgrade, its taking close to the full 100 for her to change up a piece. However The ridiculous amount of points you end up getting for doing 100 mobs gets you so much fellow points you can do several gear upgrade purchases anyways.

Im currently in lords gear on my NPC, I'm gonna try doing 2 upgrades and see if SE added a new armor set to the list again. Im hoping they give us cursed gear for pir NPC soon :O

[tidon]

EE drops vision card and stone, 1 of each
kuku drop vision coin , jewell

[urat]

Hachiman armor is still highest tier for heavy for npc, so Im assuming rest of sets are unchanged.

[Sylvrdragon]

Don't believe I saw it posted anywhere, but it would appear that Gold and Silver lights cap at 200 each.

[Cymmina]

Bloodeye Vileberry: Card/Coin of Vision

[Malacite]

My NPC is still fucked and I have no idea why...


She refuses to level up, I can't get the Tactics Pearl quest, and Luto isn't saying shit either. I've done the quest with the demon BC in Fei'Yin too so my bond with her is already quite high.


Really can't figure out just what the fuck is wrong. Might be that stupid quest in Bastok's Metalworks.
