You don't have to use position control at all (you never did), just enable maintenance flag and manually walk through the wall. The only real 'nerf' compared to before is you can't mess with the z-axis, without risking the random teleport thing of coarse.

Idk I recently went thru without paying for ship and it did weird shit and then after I got back right and entered ship like normal the ship would never take me anywhere until I npcd my way out then back into that area

**Slycer** · 2012-08-29 15:13

I just took a quick look back through the gear dat mine:

Akashachaps
Legs 99
WHM BLM RDM BRD SMN BLU SCH
DEF38 INT13 MAB6 Elemental Magic Skill+8 Enmity-2

Really blows anything else for leg slot nuking out of the water, even better than RDM+2 Emp legs or a perfect augment on Valkyrie legs.

Asylum (new Whm 2H) lasts 1 min, doesn't protect against Death and Encumbrance.

Spoiler: show

Yaegasumi (new Sam 2H) doesn't protect against Geirrothr.

Meeble Merrow

Goldwing

Spoiler: show

Silagilith

Spoiler: show

Surtr (72,500~ HP)
Unnamed TP move is AoE dmg + HP max down + Burn
Under 25% he did 2 Meteor nearly back to back for 1500~2000 dmg each.

Spoiler: show

Dreyruk (82,000 HP~)

Spoiler: show

Samursk (100,000~ HP)
Very strong but manageable with PDT gear, Tidal Roar+Bio II and gimp Embrava.
Mighty Strike around 60%
Chainspell around 30%
Has Oblivion's Mantle
Unnamed TP move is AoE dmg + ST20
A lot of his TP moves have hate reset.
Casts Dispelga, Paralyga, Firaja, Fire V, Addlega, Stunga, Comet, Impact and Deathga.

It's instant cast.
We could kill him because we all had auto-RR. I'm not sure if you can PD/embrava zerg between Deathga, Oblivion's Mantle and Divesting Gale but he must be very easy with 6 Smn, one Astral Conduit Thunderstorm can easily took 20% of his life. Shock Squall is also very effective.

Please drop adaman ingots . . .

**Spira** · 2012-08-30 10:22

evidently this enchantment: bind is not the same as the enchant charges we're familiar with...

wow. just as we we're talking about nostalgic fashion in a FFXIV thread. chess armor at lv99?

**Slycer** · 2012-08-30 10:30

Why were these items not found in the dat mine that Julian did?

What do those key items do?
Edit: Do they just open access to the research marks items or do they serve a different purpose?

**Tachi** · 2012-08-30 19:31

It's the title from each NM who unlocks more purchasable items.
I don't know the exact purpose of the KIs but defeating the five NMs unlocks a sixth rank called Researcher Emeritus with only one expedition available. However the content is unfinished at this point. You pop in a large, empty and bugged map (I have been myself teleported outside of the zone and was forced to exit) where you can do nothing.

Yeah how exactly does it work on that club...?

**CoreyX** · 2012-08-30 20:11

They probably just haven't added the charges yet. It is on the test server, after all.

There's one more NM title in the dats, so must just be one more NM. Maybe it's that other new model (yeti or something).

**Spira** · 2012-08-30 21:54

Goldwing Squasher - golden ladybug
Silagilith Detonator - slagilith
Surtr Smotherer - red golem
Dreyruk Predominator - red wyvern
Samursk Vitiator - white gallu
Umagrhk Manemangler

well..
its not in game yet.. but the only new model that had a mane was the bigfoot...

good findings tho. thanks for that

Asylum doesn't protect against Doom either (verified in Taurassic Park ENM since there is a warning message before Doom).

I'm guessing that it doesn't block anything Benediction can't cure based on the information so far.

Testing against Bard songs should confirm. If it blocks, it is at least slightly different, if not it is probably based on Benediction.

The other theory I would have is that they copied the effect from Perfect Defense over and tweaked it not to decay, testing against Ladybug mobs for Amnesia would confirm this, since Perfect Defense can block Amnesia if the otherwiki is to be believed (alternatively, testing against a mob that can charm).

Any information at all about what it does or doesn't block is going to be vital for my efforts to whine at SE (and inevitably have those cries fall on deaf ears).

Asylum doesn't block Terror (Rear attacks from Bismarck), Def Down (Frontal attacks), Stun (Caudal Capacitor) but it does protect from Elegy and Lullaby.

doesn't block stun but at least we're finally safe from all those bard NMs

**Slycer** · 2012-09-07 09:15

According to a JP post earlier, "additional treasure" has been added to the test server today. It may just be the stuff that was there already, but can anyone do a mine to check? Was there even a file update to go along with it?

**Martel** · 2012-09-07 09:38

Well, I was logged into the test server yesterday, and when I logged in today, I got an update. So, there is an update and it's new. 1270 files on PC
