Patch 1.18 Notes (07/21/2011)

**YukonWildAss** · 2011-07-21 22:57

Anyone else getting a 30002 error when trying to log on? I've been waiting for someone to complain and now I'm afraid I'm the only one!

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2011-07-21 22:58

Yep. Figaro is just totally borked. Everyone I am talking to just gets put in a queue and when it's their turn to get logged in, just returns 30002 error.

**Manako** · 2011-07-21 22:59

Wondering if I can toss all my unused repair materials

All the little quests are very nice, and navigating is easier... chocobos will really make life better, the world is simply too large.

**Arximiro** · 2011-07-21 23:00

The durability penalty is quite high for returning when dead, seems like 8% on all your gear.

Thank you, you put my mind at ease.

lol BSODed and now I get errors trying to log in. Think my character is still on. :/

**Cayos** · 2011-07-21 23:07

Really disliked how stuff from chests still randomly goes to party members.

**miokomioko** · 2011-07-21 23:13

Black Shroud music is probably some of the best in the game now. It's like a mix of Fort Wutai, Fort Condor, Eruyt Village, and The Salikawood. So much better and way more appropriate for the zone.

Anyone know anything about this gathering point recording stuff? I've tried fishing in a few "schools" of fish and nothing noteworthy has happened so far.

Also, none of the new equipment purchased via company seals can be worn in the inappropriate class/rank... and I am assuming the same goes to all equipment added this patch.

It should, well at least till they get a proper loot system, but wouldn't be fair to give it to the person that gets to the chest first and opens it, imo.

For faction leves where you get your own instanced chest, loot only goes to you, not anyone in PT.

**sruon** · 2011-07-21 23:29

Just finished R25 Instance, can't say how good EXP is as I was running with 2 R50s, the cutscenes with your characters are pretty cool and the one before final boss has that FF9-esque music. Nothing gamebreaking but still relatively fun.

Spoilersssssssss

Spoiler: show

**Lucavi** · 2011-07-21 23:32

How was the gear drops? Did each boss drop loot guaranteed? Was it all at the end? Were the drops shit?

new targeting icon? Oohhhhh

New music? Totally unexpected...wat

Cutscenes? On which quests?

Now I'm sad I can't play.

**sruon** · 2011-07-21 23:37

Only one boss at the end even though I expected 3 or 4, two chests popped, a red golden and a blue, golden gave a dagger (Warden's Dagger I think?) and blue gave mage legs which sorted to other people, didn't bother checking.

**YukonWildAss** · 2011-07-21 23:45

Bold Synthesis is now Careful Synthesis. I'm assuming it's just a name change.

r40 PGL solo Dunesfolk for Dinner 2 star... Mobs r48 each, 195 sp per mob with aspect, 3,195 bonus sp for finishing with 11min to spare, could have went faster but was tabbing out and such, forgot about bonus based on time.

I will say, there is much more of a challenge now, hard managing sp solo, have to rely on MP spikes and aspir. A lot more fun imo. Easy to burn up all mp very fast, goes fast with attacks costing MP and cure2 and sac2 costing almost 100mp.

**Myght2** · 2011-07-22 00:38

Warlock Patten's
Rank 50: INT+3 Mag Potency+3

CON/THM

Drop from chest: "In the Dark" Quest

Can find the chests in the off track bends of the main path. Can only assume they are random pops in certain tunnel endings.

**miokomioko** · 2011-07-22 00:39

Doing the first couple quests for each company has already pushed me halfway through Rank-34. These rewards are pretty substantial for such low-rank quests.

**Kurokikaze** · 2011-07-22 00:41

ugh these guys need to make it so game kicks you out faster... wtf.

Got d/ced during 2nd Darkhold attempt... guess we'll find out if I'm able to enter after I get reinvited...

**Kurokikaze** · 2011-07-22 00:46

And the answer is.... NO.

If you d/c during the raid you are kicked out of the raid and the group. The group leader is unable to reinvite so you are shit outta luck.

Nice job SE. Superb planning there, what more can I expect from people that still haven't found a solution to d/cing leves = failure.
