Evaluation and Rewards

Monster item drops and lottable spoils will be abolished.
New rewards will be added.
Coin drop rate will be increased.

I pointed this out in the WoE thread on the official forum and got a "you don't know that they're removing coins as drops" response. I don't know how anyone thought "remove drops from enemies" meant "remove drops from enemies except for the coins".

Wrong thread Cymmina. Oh wait.

What's the level 95 A+ base skill caps? What about the TNL at 95? Anyone know how much additional HP you get from 90>95 on a melee job?

Don't really play FFXI anymore, but these were always things I enjoyed observing lol

**Atomic Skull** · 2011-09-07 23:52

So nobody has upgraded a relic to lvl 95 on the test server yet? I saw a PLD with lvl 95 Excalibur running around but he didn't speak english.

I am likely to be stating the obvious, but does this mean in WoE you have to clear bosses to have a chance of coins drops in the new system?

So gone are the days of soloing ? and bring on working together to clear zone? Well if so, I welcome the brews lol, few people work together well in WoE, lots just love to solo, I guess SE is trying to rectify that?

**Arthars** · 2011-09-08 02:01

i dont think most people like to solo.......its more of "we solo cos no one wanna do with us and the reward chest is bs as i cannot get a guaranteed chance for top 5 if people team up"

putting 10 type of people above, you get no one doing WoE at all....but if now all 10 can have a chance of a box after reaching certain "points" im sure they will all gladly team up for a pouch.....

being said....if mobs dont drop singles, then its retarded

Not sure if anyone checked, but people were asking about staff WS in the random question thread. SMN, BLM, and SCH don't have access to the special staff weaponskills on the server

Not sure if it was said, but noticed drk gets break lol.

I don't know if other people knew it or not, but I have known since last October.

Same with WHM getting Addle.

Was the .dats when the spells were first released, though it did not have the spell name next to the level, it was pretty much assumed.

Indeed, so everyone will have to team up I guess...to get a chance on coins, well they better really up those coins drop rate then...if as previous poster suggests, just 2 ruin coins for 1 run, that's IMO worse than current setup....

**Spira** · 2011-09-09 05:01

test client just got updated btw.. within the last 20hrs~ anyway.

**Kaisha** · 2011-09-09 05:15

Within the last 15min apparently.

I guess that would explain why I got an R0 right during my /shutdown process while checking this out.

Hurray for more lost sleep as I see what's up. 324 files in this update. My guess is just translating more stuff into English and fixing the dynamis map crash though.

[EDIT] Seems they removed the two blank KIs near the VW sections of temp KIs. Double Exhortation atmacites still though. Map crash still in.

Unbridled Knowledge renamed to Unbridled Learning for reasons obvious to those who looked at it within the game.

So they changed it from "fucking stupid" to "holy shit fucking stupid".

**Spira** · 2011-09-09 07:28

so what is this said obvious reason? lol

**Prothescar** · 2011-09-09 07:33

The name was too long and was hanging over the window's edge. Of course, they could have just as easily abbreviated one of the words (like Quad. Continuum or Winds of Promy.) or better yet, named it something that makes sense.

they should have called it Cthulhu and you should have turned into a soulflayer, used spell, then turned back to your normal character.

**scaevola** · 2011-09-09 14:16

Any new information on areas in which NPCs can be summoned? I seem to remember hearing/reading a while back that new areas were to open up with the bump to 90 cap.

**Julian** · 2011-09-09 15:07

Updated http://juliandev.com/augtest/ armor and weapons finally in english. Old news, but standardized names/descriptions/etc.

**TacoTaru** · 2011-09-09 16:00

I saw the level cap quest mentioned twice, one time mentioning some synergy items, another time mentioning a Kindred Crest and Dhamel Saliva with 10 merits; has there been any confirmation what the quest is?
