Test Server Findings

[Serj]

I see, so it should just be halved then normally for (attack delay - 90)/300, or -60)/400. Didn't know that about Spirits Within, interesting. Themoreyouknow.jpg.

Helix duration scaling does not work for /SCH. Always 30s even for /SCH40+.

I reported this as a bug, but it may be intentional, who knows.

[Septimus]

Has anyone tried the Daily Reward thing yet? I am hoping beyond hope that they meant "Ex" not "Rare", so that maybe you will get a chance of some reward for spamming Augmented gear from Heroes zones.

[Foldypaws]

It gives random craft mats atm, but supposedly this is only placeholder stuff.

Is it just Rare items or do Ex and Augmented items count also? Even a random craft item that you can NPC for 20 gil would be better than the current Dominion Op augmented gear system.

[Ophannus]

Hoping we'll get random NM pop items like a Summerstone or a Beastly Shank or something occasionally.

Ok I know this doesn't belong here (sorry, not sure where to put it) Just finally was able to get the test server running, is there any way to use it with windower/spellcast? I've been trying to figure out how but I'm not good with computers and can't seem to get my windower to open up the test server ffxi. Or am I screwed and just have to test stuff w/o any macros etc?

Read the first couple pages, windower is borked with the test server.

[Byrthnoth]

Check this out. None of the methods work 100% of the time, in my experience. Just keep repeating one of them until it works. Even then the test server is going to set your window size so make sure that you set it and windower the same. Also, some plugins (like TPParty or whatever the one is that shows monster HP%s) may randomly not work.

lol titles for stage 3 VW

String Table Entry 00715 （仮）カマキリB 1
String Table Entry 00716 （仮）骨武者C 1
String Table Entry 00717 （仮）ハーピーC 1
String Table Entry 00718 （仮）グレーターデーモン 1
String Table Entry 00719 （仮）キングプリン 1

all probably tier 3/4s.. when i get down to figuring out the structure.. mantis B / naraka C / harpy C / greater demon / king pudding...

strangely there are 5... which is an odd number to see...
guess ill have to sleuth in the actual game.

[Spira]

likely new VW NMs (sniffing from polutils)

W.Ron - Lancing Lamorak (beetle)
S. Gusta - Bhishani (neon pixie)
E. Saruta - Rw Nw Prt M Hrw (not fucking kidding u, means book of the dead in egyptian)

Vunkerl - Gaunab (new mantis)
Grauberg - Ocythoe (harpy)
Fort K - Kalasutrax (naraka)

these 3 are likely the mantis/skele/harpy

Konschtat - Gywnn Ap Nudd (corpselight)
La theine - Stachysaurus (new wivre)
tahrongi - Smierc (skeleton SAM)

these 3 are likely the dvergr, wivre and black demon

checking back.. i cant find any evidence of the flan or greater demon in there, so I'm assuming those 2 titles are used for something that isn't in the game yet..
maybe another expansion half of VW
probably only these 9 in the original / wotg areas.. cant find any others.. gonna log in to check

[Slycer]

Guessing those top three are T1 and the next six are T2. Maybe the higher tiers aren't implemented yet since they are splitting Chapter 3 of VW into two parts? It's funny that they added a mob that's a book - I wonder what kind of strategies it will employ (there was a screenshot of people fighting a book which I'm guessing is that mob that's a bunch of random consonants)?

[Slycer]

Anyone able to mine the test server update and check for the new key items and possibly any new armor/items to go along with this new Voidwatch? I'm guessing the drops aren't there yet but the associated KIs (atmacites, periapts, abyssites) should be. I'm wondering if chapter 3 is three separate paths again (like chapter 1) or just one big path like Jeuno was. Maybe even a continuation of chapter 1, since it's back to the Bastok/San d'Oria/Windurst areas.

[Spira]

its probably just the main path they added...

theres 5 new atmacite..

Atmacite of Purple Lightning
Atmacite of Whirling Blades
Atmacite of the Adamant
Atmacite of the Valiant
Atmacite of the Shrewd.

corresponds to the 5 new titles..

i cant tell whats new or not in the key items cos i dunno what julian/xanthe use to sniff those up...

[Sho]

No new spells Spira?

[Sakuraryong]

Some info on the mobs here:
http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/26...ter/2/#1617902
Posting up as I fight them, off to do La Theine/Highlands/Canyon now, didn't notice Fort KN/Graub/Vunk so I'll have to go poke at them after.
They class as Jeuno II at the moment in terms of warps.

[Slycer]

Jeuno II wtf...

Is there a different stratum abyssite associated with these battles, or are they spawning off of one of the abyssites you previously had (white or one of the others)?

[Sakuraryong]

It's a blank currently, no description or name. But I don't think you need Jeuno done to access, it hasn't given me the Jeuno Abyssite, it did however give me IV of all 3 starting areas and III of the ROZ abyssite.
