Test Server Findings

[Julian]

I haven't checked for new quests and stuff yet, but I took a quick look at jeuno quests, and it still says 10 merits and 2 whatchamacallits, whatever that is, guessing a placeholder.

Isnt someone already explained how to make this quest?

In this topic http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...eak-Quest-*95* which actually is based on some BG findings I think.

[Julian]

No shit. I was just saying that it could be placeholder if they change it. Nothing on the test server is set in stone.

Retribution as in... the weaponskill? If so, lol. When the translation on FFXIAH popped up I assumed Retaliation.

[Julian]

I guess? Unless there's another retribution in the game

Hmm sorry, if I missed it on couple pages before, but can you retrieve what kind of augments the +3 elemental ToM weapons (except staff) will have?

[TummieGaruda]

Seems SE changed the names of the gear with country names (China, Egypt etc)

[cdgreg]

edit nm: you said except staff...my bad

The +9 stat ones go to +10, no change in substat.

None of the other weapons seem to get anything but damage/delay that I can find.

Was thumbing through, but didnt find any info on Magian sword trials that involved TP, Tp bonus or WS damage. Could anyone oblige?

Phalanx/PhalanxII(5 Merits) with 443 Enhancing Skill confirmed to mitigate 33 damage. Enspells do 27. Gain-Stats give +19. I'm sure all these are still uncapped. I can forsee Gain-INT becoming awesome at 99 for RDM giving +25ish INT assuming Gain-Stats remain uncaped with each tier being +1 stat every 10 enhancing skill.

I've been trying to tag all the testing I do or stuff I add from this thread with {{Test Server}} on bgwiki, which adds it to this category. That server is a blessing for trait tier testing, especially for jobs I don't have!

Someone test DRG Acc Bonus 4 at 95. I have a hunch that we get it and if so my Ace's Hose will be happy and I can drop +4acc Moonshade and get +4att.

We got Attack Bonus II at 91, I can't imagine us getting Acc Bonus 4 in the same 5 level span as well, but I might test it at some point.

[Ophannus]

Attack Bonus II is 80 levels overdue. We got Acc Bonus III at like level 78 so it seems like we should get IV around 95ish since we get it at 30/50/78 on average every 20ish levels.

I've been dicking around with Job Traits lately, and I wouldn't count on any kind of regularity when it comes to the old traits. They have changed the post-75 trait growth structure for a lot of things, and even some job traits that multiple jobs get at the same level end up growing differently for each job. Some of the new JTs aren't even very regular intervals. Even some JTs they added at the same level don't have the same interval. I'll get around to testing the others at some point.

Accuracy Bonus is generally a pain to test, but the Test Server could be very useful for it if you can warp into/out of a zone and be entirely confident you are targeting the same monster when you return. Also, being able to set your weapon skill to a low level would definitely help I think. Could be something like this:
1 Set your DRG's level to 77 (Level 77 DRG polearm skill now)
2 Change jobs to WAR and set your Warrior's level to 60 (Level 60 WAR polearm skill now)
3 OP to Terrigan and determine the Goblin's Rabbit Evasion, Warp.
4 Change jobs back to DRG (still level 60 WAR PLM skill) and OP to Terrigan, check the nearby Goblin's Rabbit.

As long as no one kills the Goblin's Rabbit, which is pretty likely even over prolonged periods on the test server considering there are something like 20 people on at any given time, you can continue to use the same monster with a known evasion to check Accuracy Bonus quickly on a lot of jobs. Could also use the Goblin Mercenary, change your Polearm skill by changing the WAR step's level, etc. You'd only have to do Step 3 once though, probably.

[Foldypaws]

If you're doing that method, you're going to need to correct for DEX too though. /check ignores level difference but not dex, unless I'm mistaken.

Not sure anyone posted this but it looks like SE overwrote/replaced .DATs with newer ones to correspond to the new gear. If it's been posted I apologize.

They're trying to make us all into mummers. No pity q.q;

Also yeah, I'd correct for DEX.

Am I the only one who thinks that most of this new gear looks stupid D:
