Test Server Findings

[Sechs]

Byrth... I get you didn't find anything at all from all your Terpsichore tests then? Augments II-IV don't add anything, appearently, to Augments I?
And so the story repeats for Ryunohige and Kogarasumaru... sigh.

Altough honestly all three are still pretty nice weapons if you ask me, despite of that crap.

[Byrthnoth]

Pretty much. I'm almost done all the quantifiable ones. Confirming Breazy's tests for Vajra now, but they're all checking out and the progression continues as expected (+25% at 90/95).

[Spira]

If nothing else do cruor pts and npc the gil. That's if you have no way of crafting/fishing, mercing stuff, selling leech spots in pts or fighting stuff for money drops most of which will either be faster and/or easier.

Back when I was looking for new ways to make Gil not involving crafting and all, I found that Abyssea was a treasure trove for Gil if you can pick out the right drops. Like for the longest time Exorcised skull held out at 100k just for killing cannered noz. But even that would take a lot of farming of in order to get enough Gil for alexandrite.

These days VW isn't bad for gildrops and i guess cruor parties and whatnot. If you're bored you can earn $ from
nPCing weapons bought with dominion notes as well. Getting gil is somewhat easier. But..

Given the current market rate we're looking at 360m... I'd be happy if it went back down to 90m or if it dropped well below that after Nyzul II

[Sho]

See, the main problem with Alex for me has always been the gil. I'm sitting on about 5 mil and have no real way to make a lot more. I did some calculations based on the price on my server and I was expecting to pay at least 90 mil for the Alex. That's why it's out of my reach.

Unless someone has some suggestions I guess.

Wait for the Nyzul update. It's what I'm doing.

[Khajit]

Farm now. Sell it just before the update and then use all the profit to pay the new and improved alex prices. Even if it somehow backfires you simply never had a chance to begin with if you failed.

maybe the augment adds -VIT on top of -Defense for boxstep
and -AGI on top of -Evasion for Quickstep
and -INT on top of -Magic Evasion for Sutter Step

tough I dont know how you want to check that. Well there is that one NM Morille Mortelle (Spurrer Beret) that transfers all status ailments to the player (including steps and sambas, killed it on DNC)

Would be easier to check in a random Ballista/Brenner match actually, but I seriously doubt it adds another debuff... you would see it wear.
Altough it could be an "enhanced" version of the same debuff that has the ADDITIONAL effect of impairing a certain stat, only way to check that would be through the equipment menu to see the stat going down of course.

But in all honesty it seems all to complicated and unlikely to me, I have less issues believing they simply do "nothing" because SE people are like that, instead of believing they have some mysterious effect nobody managed to get a clue about 'til now.

[dasva]

You don't see both debuffs wear on blu spells that give more than 1...

[arus2001]

Think it might depend on the spell. Could've sworn while I was working on my DA% sword, using Drape on the squid NM would have the silence wearing off fairly quickly while the blind came a bit later.

[Sechs]

Whatever it is, you should see it pretty easily in a Ballista/Brenner match against another player.
Is there a minimum number of players required to book one of the two zones? Or maybe they're not available on test server? Never checked tbh.

[arus2001]

Might be easier to just Corrosive Ooze a Limule or something. I don't doubt that some debuffs are coded to share durations and the log fails much like how some multi-buff moves only display one, but ultimately I figure it depends on the spell.

Oh ho ho, Drg jumps getting reduced from 1min30 to 1min, high jump from 3min to 2min, and spirit surge getting lengthened from 1min to 1min30. Also healing breath 4 at Lv80ish, and remove curse/plague/petrify breaths. That's awesome. Although I am curious to know how I can use Remove Petrify if I'm petrified...

Also Pld Roll being changed to -dmg taken (-25% 11) and whm roll to Cure pot (+25% 11). Few other rolls getting strengthened too.

[Foldypaws]

Remove Breath will target other party members.

[Colenzo]

Now if only you could make your wyvern do the elemental breaths that you want.

[Foldypaws]

Now if only you could make your wyvern do the elemental breaths that you want.

Or if you could force a Remove Breath outside of /mage.

That said, can't argue with 50% more jumps/time. Still wish we had some sort of native attack boost JA though.

[noodles355]

Remove Breath will target other party members.

I don't ever tend to be /mage with other party members.

[Foldypaws]

I don't ever tend to be /mage with other party members.

I don't either, but that's how you would use Remove Petrify. Admittedly, given that you can just /whm and stona them I don't much see the point either.

[Ophannus]

Although I am curious to know how I can use Remove Petrify if I'm petrified...

The same reason why WHM can cast Silena and Stona on themselves.

[Forte]

Im from bahamut too and price starts from 12k so I have no idea how you got 90M.

I used to be on a different server where it was about 3k per. Obviously now it's much higher. I'm hoping when supply goes up it will come back down. Either way if it stays at 12k that means a Mythic would cost 360M, which is outright insane.

[vagus]

Is it still worth getting Bravura?
