General Update Changes (May-09-11)

[Fereydoon]

Just noticed and didn't see it mentioned, Trump Card icon got changed too, more of a rainbow card.

[NynJa]

As far as filling out the rest of the body and hand +2s, dont see a pattern there yet.

Would need to see if the following NM's have modified loot pools:
Vunk: Sedna, Bukhis
Misar: Tristia, Amhuluk
Attohwa: Lusca, Titactulan

[Plow]

Itzpapalotl also drops Stone of Ardor. Was dropping a Jewel but I don't recall which. Can verify when event is recorded.

stone and jewel of ardor both

[NynJa]

Can someone POIDH's papa's new drop set, cuz people are saying stone jewel and coin

[Aelfinn]

Would need to see if the following NM's have modified loot pools:
Vunk: Sedna, Bukhis
Misar: Tristia, Amhuluk
Attohwa: Lusca, Titactulan

I'll have to check what actually dropped when i get home tonight, but both Tristia and Amhuluk were dropping 4 types of +2 items last night

Definately not "stone and jewel"

Earlier, I went to camp Cwn Cyrff again for that stupid Swan Bilbo. I noticed that the Tomb Wolves respawn time was reduced drastically - and even after hours, Cwn Cyrff won't spawn for me. Might be bad luck. Then I went to look for Shii, Manes & Co in Bostaunieux Oubliette, to see everything changed...

Shii, lottery from Garm, all 3 Garms gone, replaced with Level 96+ Mobs...

Manes, lottery pop from Gespenst, no Ghost here, just Level 95 dogs.

Drexerion the Condemned, Phanduron the Condemned... gone? Now this guy is lurking around, along with random new IT mobs...

SE, what did you do to my beloved zones... And what's the purpose anyway? Exping here? Drive fear into people? Well that worked, I'm scared to go elsewhere now, thinking stuff could be removed...
How am I supposed to do those important Hunt Registry Missions now?

[urat]

People complained about easy mode, this is what we got.

[Ocara]

Based on other zones all the nms just got shoved somewhere else. Going to have to do some exploring. Is that a non-nm vampyr mob like castle Z[s]?

[Lutia]

No NM, checks IT to 90.

[Eliane]

I dont know if its been mentioned, but they tweaked the fast cast cap right? Well on BLM/RDM, Blizzard 5 appears to be being cast at about 23%. Was it tweaked that much?

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, if Fast Cast has a cap, it's 20% or less. Friend was getting spells going off at 20% with -40% recast.

[shaddix]

The cast bar is no good. For actual cast times you must fraps with a teleport spell. Or you can test in another more accurate way but too long to type on phone
Need 2 characters same machine

[Draylo]

Kinda mixed on changing old zones, the vampire is cool though lol.

Did you miss the update or something?

[Lutia]

Probably. Silly me.

[NynJa]

So from what I've understood on JP wiki....Lusca, Amhuluk and Bukhis drop additional +2's, but I'm not sure which. Of course that doesnt rule out Lusca, Titactulan and Sedna having additional drops.

Mentioned this in some other threads where people were posting synergy results, I put together another thread here:

http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/104...nergy-Augments

Has all of the results from everything I've seen compiled together. Seems like HQ synergies have one specific augment guaranteed (with variable amount), and then 1-2 additional augments, quantity and value of which depend on the HQ tier. I'll keep the thread updated so please post any results you come up with on there.
