Test Server Findings

[Jeryhn]

Example, cause Greatsword and Great Katana use fucking CHR, right?

Ragnarok?

[Byrthnoth]

There was a test server update if anyone wants to check and see if the items are in our version now. Either that or I just messed up my install, lol.

The dialog:

Spoiler: show

Seems our friend's been held up, eh?
Heh heh heh...≺Prompt≻

≺Player Name≻. I applaud your ardent ambition, but I fear our preparations have been prolonged.
We await the arrival of a very important visitor from the Tenshodo, you see...≺Prompt≻

Howdy-wowdy-ho! I'm Atori-Tutori from the Tenshodo.
I heard some scruffy-wuffy old moogle sent for me?≺Prompt≻

!?≺Prompt≻

Atori-Tutori winks knowingly in Maat's direction.≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

Ahem! It was I who sent for you!
Word has it you have knowledge of a secret Far Eastern technique that allows adventurers to--how shall I say?--relieve themselves of their corporeal confines, kupo.≺Prompt≻

Yeppers, that's me alrightaru.
So where's my victim--I mean, trainee--for today?≺Prompt≻

Why, this strapping adventurer right here.
(That's your cue, ≺Player Name≻!)≺Prompt≻

≺Possible Special Code: 1F≻≺Possible Special Code: 0F≻Atori-Tutori squints his eyes and looks ≺Player Name≻ up and down.≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

Hmm, not a bad body-woddy on you at all.
You must work outaru!≺Prompt≻

...But wait a minute. Of course!
You've grown so strong I scarcely-warcely recognized you!
Why, I knew greataru things would come of you!≺Prompt≻

Very well!
You're as good a subject as any for my super-secretaru Tenshodo technique.≺Prompt≻

But first, I'll have to ask you to sign a contractaru with me.
Do that, and I'll pump you up with a minimum of fussy-wuss.≺Prompt≻

A contract?
No...it couldn't be!≺Prompt≻

So what's the good word, ≺Player Name≻?
Are you ready to sign a contractaru with me and become a magical g--er, a more majestic adventurer?≺Prompt≻

How aboutaru it?
≺Selection Dialog≻Sign me up!
Maybe lataru.≺Prompt≻

Got butterflies in your belly, kupo?
I'll be hanging out here should you ever have a change of heart.≺Prompt≻

Oh, ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[he'll/she'll] be back. You can countaru on it.≺Prompt≻

Look who's back!
Well, kupo? Have you decided to take our Tarutaru friend up on his offer?≺Prompt≻

What say you, kupo?
≺Selection Dialog≻Sign me up!
About merit points...
Goodbye.≺Prompt≻

Now that's the answer I was looking for!
Very well, then! I'll just be needing a few things from you.

Ah yes, and a healthy-wealthy dose of guts.≺Prompt≻

“Guts,” kupo...?
That's an awfully ambiguous order, my diminutive friend.≺Prompt≻

One would think you'd have a bit more imagination in that swollen-wollen head of yours, friend.
I speak, of course, of the “marinara points” you always requestaru of these adventurers.≺Prompt≻

Ah, mouthwatering morsels of select seafood and pasta boiled to perfection...!
...Ahem. Do you perhaps speak of “merit points?”≺Prompt≻

Hmm? As I was saying, ≺Numeric Parameter 0≻ of those whatchama-pointarus along with the other items of which I spoke.
Round up these, and our contract is as good as signed--and I won't even need to take your soul.≺Prompt≻

And with that, I'm outaru like troutaru!
Drop a linkshell line to my assistantaru when this ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[fellow/lady] is ready, mister moogle man.≺Prompt≻

Far be it from me to keep you from your destiny, ≺Player Name≻, but this technique the Tarutaru speaks of...≺Prompt≻

Ah, but never ye mind...just an old man's worries.
Trust your heart and follow your own path. It won't lead you astray.≺Prompt≻

To recap, you'll be needing ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻ ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻$≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻, ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻ ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻$ａ≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻, and ≺Numeric Parameter 2≻ marinara--I mean merit ≺Singular/Plural Choice (Parameter 2)≻[point/points].≺Prompt≻

Bring these to me, and I'll contact the Tenshodo.
Understood, kupo?≺Prompt≻

Why yes, that should be everything.
Now where did I put my linkshell, kupo...?≺Prompt≻

...≺Prompt≻

Curses and criminy, late again!
Does that Taru's disregard for decorum know no bounds!?≺Prompt≻

Heh, speak o' the devil.
And don't look now, but he's brought a friend...?≺Prompt≻

Hmph! And give me justaru one good reason why the Tenshodo won't help me sell my ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻%≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻!≺Prompt≻

I could give you a thousand-wousand reasons, my dear, but what would be the pointaru?
The higher-ups would never listen to a second-string flunky like me!≺Prompt≻

And would it kill you to try to negotiataru!?
After all the time you've spent there, surely you know how to deal with those costive-wostive easterners!≺Prompt≻

And what's in it for me? Hmmm?
Why, I don't even like pickles! Yeech!≺Prompt≻

Ah, the tragedy of it all!
It's common knowledge that the pickle-hater misses out on at least eighty percentaru of life's pleasures!≺Prompt≻

Ah, but the remaining twenty percent taste a hundred times as sweetaru, untainted by the sour, unsavory flavor of those foul foodstuffs!≺Prompt≻

Pardon the interruption, but I'm developing a rather rotten taste in my mouth just listening to this pointless palaver.
Is this young lady your assistant, kupo?≺Prompt≻

Ah, forgive me.
This is Chumbawumba, a purveyor of pickle-wickles who--as you can see--is most desperataru to distribute her wares.≺Prompt≻

That's Chamama!
And I'll have you know that I run a perfectly reputable restaurantaru!≺Prompt≻

But my assistant...yes, of course!
How's this, Ms. Chulapalooza? You lend me a hand, and I'll see if I can't talky-walky the Tenshodo into selling your rancid rarab tails.≺Prompt≻

That's Chamama! And “rancid”...!
...W-wait. You'd do that for me?≺Prompt≻

Of course, my dear assistant!
Now step rightaru this way, won't you?≺Prompt≻

Something about this is tying my sensitive stomach in knots, kupo...≺Prompt≻

≺Player Name≻, listen well. My ancient Eastern technique will trigger a miracu-waculous process inside your body.
You might feel a bit odd at first, but pay it no mind.≺Prompt≻

Incubate it carefully, and then, when the urge calls, I want you to squeeze with all your mightaru!
Succeed and you will expel the physical embodiment of the profound life energies that lie dormantaru within you.≺Prompt≻

It's all in the timing. Ten beats of your heart--ten seconds--should do the trick.
Discharge it too early and it will disintegrate into dustaru. Wait too long and we'll have a foul mass as rotten-wotten as Chupawupa's pickled rodent tails.≺Prompt≻

Hmm? Discharge what? No need to sweataru the details, friend!
Anyhoodles, as a final step, my lovely-wovely assistant will weigh your, er, evacuated matter.
I daresay three pickling stones' weight would do just perfectly.≺Prompt≻

Well, aren't you in luck!
I have a supply of ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻%≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻ right here.≺Prompt≻

Perfect! Now remember, ≺Player Name≻. It's all in the mind.
When you make that all-important push, envision something...cutesy-wutesy.
≺Unknown Parameter (Type: 80) 1≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻ ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻$≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻, for example.≺Prompt≻

Cutesy-wutesy...?≺Prompt≻

I recommend you take a momentaru to catch your breath, ≺Player Name≻.
When you're ready, just speak to our frizzy-furred friend here, okay?≺Prompt≻

Ready?
≺Selection Dialog≻Come again?
Ready!
Maybe another time.≺Prompt≻

Well, look who's back.
Ready to give my technique a shot, ≺Player Name≻?≺Prompt≻

Splendid!
I shall signal the start of the procedure, kupo.≺Prompt≻

All rightaru, ≺Player Name≻!
On our moogle friend's mark...!≺Prompt≻

Here we go, kupo!≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

When you get the urge...
≺Selection Dialog≻Push!≺Prompt≻

...≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

...?≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

≺Possible Special Code: 1F≻≺Possible Special Code: 0F≻A discolored mass is released from ≺Player Name≻'s body.
It quickly decomposes and runs off....≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

Eew! Stinky-winky, ≺Player Name≻.
I told you what would happen if you waited too long.≺Prompt≻

≺Possible Special Code: 1F≻≺Possible Special Code: 0F≻Something begins to poke out from ≺Player Name≻'s body.
It quickly crumbles and dissipates into the air...≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

No, no, ≺Player Name≻! Weren't you listening-wistening?
You must hold it in longer!≺Prompt≻

≺Possible Special Code: 1F≻≺Possible Special Code: 0F≻A curious mass is released from ≺Player Name≻'s body...≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

Well, well...this looks most promising indeed!
Ms. Picklemonger, the weigh-in!≺Prompt≻

That's Cha... Oh, just let me see that already!≺Prompt≻

One stone, two.
Yes, it looks like we have...≺Prompt≻

Oh dearie-wearie me.
I'm afraid it's just a trifle-wifle too light.≺Prompt≻

Let's see, now.
Heave...ho!≺Prompt≻

Oh, heavens no.
This is simply-wimply too heavy for an exquisitaru lady like myself to carry.≺Prompt≻

No, this won't do at all.
Once more from the beginning!≺Prompt≻

≺Possible Special Code: 1F≻≺Possible Special Code: 0F≻The unidentified mass vanishes.≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

Just what was that strange stone, kupo...?≺Prompt≻

In all my years, I've never seen anythin' like this...≺Prompt≻

Well, ≺Player Name≻?
I'm ready-weady when you are!≺Prompt≻

Could it be? Yes, I think it could!
Three stones' weight, and not an onz more!≺Prompt≻

≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[He's/She's] done it!
To think I'd live to see the day...≺Prompt≻

This sleek oblong shape, this glossy sheen!
I'm simply-wimply smitten!≺Prompt≻

And just what is ≺Player Name≻ supposed to do now!?
King Kupofried forbid, you can't expect ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[him/her] to...eat it!?≺Prompt≻

Oh, good heavens no!
This is where I unleash my final technique, just like so...≺Prompt≻

≺Possible Special Code: 1F≻≺Possible Special Code: 0F≻The unidentified mass transformed into a shimmering crystal!≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

Congratulations, ≺Player Name≻.
You have tapped into a power that few mortal-wortals have.≺Prompt≻

Atori-Tutori hands the ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻3≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻ to ≺Player Name≻.≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

Keep this stone close at hand for the rest of your days.
As for the nature of its powers... I'll just leave that to your imagination.≺Prompt≻

Are we done here?
I've got pecks of pickled rarab tails to sell, and I'm not getting any younger!≺Prompt≻

Very well. Let it not be said that Atori-Tutori doesn't keep a promise.
May we meet again, ≺Player Name≻. Ta-taru!≺Prompt≻

≺Possible Special Code: 1F≻≺Possible Special Code: 0F≻Atori-Tutori winks knowingly in ≺Player Name≻'s direction.≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

Whatever is the matter, Maat?
Ever since Atori-Tutori showed up, you've been looking positively pale, kupo...≺Prompt≻

It's nothin'. Nothing at all, I say...
Urgh, I think I've lost my appetite...≺Prompt≻

≺Player Name≻. Only the terminal trial awaits you now.
I suspect we shall meet again before long, kupo.≺Prompt≻

Your level limit is now 95!≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

[Kuishen]

And maybe that's all about it? I think for each ring, there's at least 1 pairing that can be a good one

They're not THAT bad.

Could definitely be better and it seems like they put no effort into it. In all honesty they're minor details and I was in a rant-y mood. /shrug

Also wasn't aware that Scourge was CHR based, was aware that Ageha was but come on, has never crossed my mind to make a build for that.

[Clash Perez]

Oh god, synergy for breaking the level cap?

They must be dying to get people interested in it.

[Gokulo]

That quest is already in game and is used to acquire Portafurnace so I don't think these are connected.

[huckster]

that's true - i've updated the dialog table

[Arthars]

let the whatchamacallits begin

[Prothescar]

Are you seriously saying that they've incorporated one of the worst fucking systems ever created in an MMO into the level cap quest? Holy fuck. If I have to run around to each protocrystal collecting elemental stones again there will be words.


Probably not but still. Fuck.

EDIT: Ok maybe not synergy. But still, no protocrystal stones... or else, well, nothing really. But I will be displeased for about 10 minutes or so while I run to the first one.

[huckster]

Here's the info on upgrading relic / mythic / emp from 90 to 95:

Empyreans:
- 1500x plates of heavy metal

Runics:
- 3x Boss from Salvage

Relics:
- 10 x Animated <weapon> from Dynamis-Xarca

[pugnax179]

Here's the info on upgrading relic / mythic / emp from 90 to 95:

Empyreans:
- 1500x plates of heavy metal

Wonder if this is like the iron plates?

[Julian]

wow, thanks for telling me they updated the test client

[Julian]

Next time they ninja update the test server, someone fucking pm me and let me know.

I guess I don't have to bother doing any dat mining today, looks like you guys are doing ok mooching off of that shitty jp one.

Spoiler: show

http://juliandev.com/augtest/ updating the files on there

[Karbuncle]

Wonder if this is like the iron plates?

if its like Iron Plates, That trial would be absolutely re-fucking-diculous to complete. (I.E if it came from an NM that could only drop 2)

Still, 1,500 of Any drop for a Magian upgrade seems a little....... Steep, Hopefully they won't be mind-numbing to obtain? I guess this is their plan of "Balancing the difficulty"... going from 75 to 1,500 though just seems like... One extreme to the next.

Won't know until we find out how to get them, if they're Sellable, etc

[Julian]

All done mining. Magian info stuff is gotten from the actual moogle, I guess, and not on the dats, so I guess the jp guy was useful after all!

note: I fucking HATE this test server. Will there be any actual point in mining when the update goes live? I always enjoyed the thrill of update day.

[Foldypaws]

Trial info: Elemental weapons are 40 geodes. The +stat line only gains +1 stat (i.e. Str Kila +3 is 10 STR 20 attack)

Affinity staves go to +6 damage but lose the +1 Macc.

Cure Potency Staff is 23% now.

[Julian]

Hey guys, you know what's really fucking awesome?

JP ONRY UPDATES

All of the new equipment that JP guy posted, IS ONLY ON THE FUCKING JP DATS. The english ones are FUCKING BLANK. The level/jobs that can use is there, the icon is there, but there is no item name or item description.

suck my dick SE, suck my fucking dick. You lazy pieces of shit.

oh well

[Clash Perez]

It's the test server, bro. Japanese company makes shit in Japanese. Shouldn't be that surprising.

[Julian]

Should have made the test server jp only then if they're only going to upload jp files, and anyone not jp will have everything blank.

[cdryik]

It's not only in the jp .dat, I tried french version (and english one) to test something, and empy weapon in english version are blank (staff trial don't have name) where in the french version you got name of the weapon (varuna's staff +3 for example) & stat.
