Dungeon crawl thing is definitely Provenance as the image they show on the roadmap of it is the same as the pics that Julian posted.

There is an image of Provenance in the "New Version Update in the Works" banner on the Playonline page. This is the article about the March version update, so unless they're trolling us, it's something coming in March, and most likely Voidwatch related based on the text of the summary (the summary highlights legion and Voidwatch and the other image in the banner is definitely Legion).

The new magian trials are probably going to utilize the Green Magian Moogle for accessories. Most likely CoP rings, TOAU rings, DM/AN earrings and Moonshade; perhaps even AF3 accessories,relic accessories and AF1 jobemote Torques. Kind of hoping they add another trial or two to non mythic/emp/relic weapons to give them a final stat boost and a unique graphic. Some trials received new graphics for the 99 version(Elemental weapons and WS bonus weapons got new color swaps) but OAT/DA weapons have had the same graphic since 75. I can't see why they wouldn't add more trials for the 99 weapon to boost it further seeing as the 75 cap magians had 3-4 trials before being raised to 80.

Anyone know?

Not really. Essentially, someone getting subjob-level skill (eg: smn/whm) at, say, 151 skill, 130 mnd, 80 vit, would Cure IV for 418 (before potency) instead of the 550-ish of a job with main healing skill. 418 is actually higher than that same character would heal for under the existing system (would get about 397 there).

So overall you should cure for similar amounts to what you cure now, while those with actual healing skill (or Light Arts) will heal for substantially more (aside from Cure V/VI, of course).

I would love to see some of this. Drop the assault latent on ToAU rings. Do something with the jobemote torques, or hello +19 inventory (haven't tossed yet "just in case"). And I would put up with some additional magian crap if I could change the model on my swords. Has never felt right to be swinging a straight blade as blu.

I don't think that's likely to happen. On another note, though, couldn't you just drop the torques for 19 inventory space and redo the trial if you ever need them again?

**Koyangi** · 2012-03-09 18:17

When you say 19, are you implying 1 of the 20 is actually good for it's job and the other 19 are trash? If so, which is the "good" 1?

**Taim Meich** · 2012-03-09 18:30

At least PUP neck is the best for Automaton melee only situations... Don't know about others.

I was under the impression the jobemote torques were repeatable like any other magian trial.

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-09 18:52

SE also said they were going to take Relic +2 augments a step further. Perhaps a set bonus?

Ares's Cuirass. Should give around 60HP.

Don't HP+% items work strangely inside of abyssea?

They stack linearly with cruror and atma. Just like every other +% effect in the game that I'm aware of.

(so +5% HP with +100% cruor buff gives 205% total, not 210%)

**TSFFXI** · 2012-03-09 19:46

Thanks for clearing that up. Then Ares's 3% works off your base HP and would only give you 30-50.

**noodles355** · 2012-03-09 21:12

What does abyssea have to do with anything?

Edit:
To clarify:
Drg/Blu outside abyssea, in Healing Breath Trigger set: 2121 HP. Without Ares body: 2060. Ares gives me 61HP.

So like I said, Ares should give you around 60HP.

**TSFFXI** · 2012-03-09 21:34

Oops, sorry. I saw 60=.03*2000 and assumed Abyssea.

**Tsuneo** · 2012-03-09 22:15

Anyone know the location of the armor added in today's test server update? I want to look at it in Altanaviewer, but I've had no luck locating the dats.

**Spira** · 2012-03-10 01:19

just went thru the new files from the test server..

firstly, theres a new dat for the groupcast meteor..
267/114
it looks way better than the one i posted last time. still no sound fx.

Also, I dunno if i'm jumping the gun here...
but I think we might see them announce a new expansion...
because i just noticed that they added files into a ROM9 folder this update.

apparently, they snuck in 1 file into ROM9 in early Feb 2012 (for me it was feb 05) and now theres 27 more files in there this update. One of them is an Orc conquerer (but we know that guy has been a bit of a mob placeholder, so I wont think too much about it). Granted theres no reason to add files to test about an expansion that isnt released, it doesnt make sense why they'd add a ROM9 when they could have easily fit these files into ROM itself.
I don't know how the coding works either, but the ftable and vtable file in every single ROM folder was updated as well.

the reason why I see this as a bit of a big deal is because each ROM folder basically represents an expansion
rom2 = zilart
rom3 = cop
rom4 = toa
rom5 = wotg
6-8 is for the scenario add-ons (and are very tiny). abyssea didn't use a rom folder.

could it be?

...
for tsuneo,
armor and weapon model dats..
not sorted sorry

Spoiler: show

**Guitarman** · 2012-03-10 01:32

I would tend to trust you based on your knowledge of the files, spira. no reason to buck trend if thats how they've handled previous expansions. Guess the "big news" is a new expac. score.
