Test Server Findings

[grevenilvec75]

Kaustra: rabbits outside of sandoria. use obi the whole time because it was darksday and didn't want to have to worry about possible day procs.
SCH/BLM LVL 95, 96INT

obi only: 555
obi + 7INT: 586
obi + 4MAB: 573
obi + pluto: 659

vs worm:

obi only: 550
obi + 7INT: 574
obi + 4MAB: 568

No idea if they're all the level -1 ones because running back and forth to moghouse blows. For the first 3 rabbits i was /rdm, don't think it matters though.

Has anyone gotten Windower and/or Spellcast to work on the Test Server? Going back to 6-line macros would be torture for trying to do new content.

From messing around with regedit and moving shit around, I had Windower working for about 10 minutes.
However, I couldn't move my mouse cursor out of the window. I logged off to try to find the solution to that, and lost my ability to Windower the test client apparently. >_>
So it is possible, I just have no idea what Windower does to select what exe to start up and hook to.

Hagakure's Save TP seems to be 20 (18 TP returned with Tachi: Fudo and no JA, 38 with it).

windower v4 works. By using your default "pol.exe" you have access to the test server, so I'm guessing that windower v3.4 passes some command line parameters that are removing the login option.

As announced earlier in the year, there were plans to adjust weapon skills, although nothing was specifically mentioned in that post other than great axe break WS.

After checking Full Break 3 times on trash mobs, the debuff accuracy seems to be much higher now, so if all break WS were adjusted, others could have been as well. This time, all 4 debuffs lasted the full duration (~3 minutes near 100 TP) all three times I used Full Break (crabs putatively neutral to earth element). Here is some previous evidence of Full Break debuff accuracy being terrible.

No plugins, but still better then the core windowed mode from SE.

Dynamis doesn't seem finished at all, all the ???S are asking for nonexistant blank items, maps dats are missing and one of the former NM seems to time spawn as easy prey? Might be intentional, was a joke to solo as NIN/nothing however.

Note: You can buy maps for 10k each, glacier 15k, Xarc/Tav 20k. Its just when you pull up the map there's nothing there. :3

Anyway in Valk theres 9 types of Nightmare mobs, several beastmen groupings which house the TEs and then 4 ???s. Looks kinda like this:

i was just messing about with Palisade in abyssea altepa with a Kaiser shield and ochain 85 ,i must say i like it for the block rate increase, guestimating it to make block rate at ~80-85% ish, just from eyebaling it tho with 5 mandy's beating on me.

but yeah the JA looks promicing. to bad PLD gets 5 min+ recast JA's all the time tho

[Alistaire]

I also have no idea, I just got REALLY close to the person I was using it on, and lack of Distance Plugin makes it harder on me. xD



I can't say for sure, but a friend tested and said it was working like a Soul Voice for your next song, and expects that SE wanted it to be a little less than that.

Both BLM and RDM ja's mimic their 2hr for 1 spell so reasonable that they did the same with BRD on purpose, even if that does make for that JA to be a bit strong.

[Ophannus]

Lot of jobs have gotten mini 2hrs:

SAM
BLM
RDM
BRD
BST

I can see WAR getting a 5min crit JA, PLD getting a 5min Invincible for next hit, THF evading next hit, DNC getting 'next waltz consumes no TP and/or has 0 recast, etc

Blood Rage?

Scarlet Delirium seems kinda weird. Using /ra on TW mobs while fighting VNMs I got a ~13.3% damage boost, which certainly isn't the advertised 20%+. Absorb-INT went from 22 to 30 (no enhancement gear) after taking ~half my HP in damage. Blizzard III gained like 3% damage, not sure why so little.

[Alkar]

Shocking Squall takes years to go off as expected but they say it'll be changed. Either way Ramuh got screwed hard compared to the others considering the animation is exactly like Stun.

[Atomic Skull]

It appears to be just a Triple Attack, on a 2 and a half minute timer.
I'm going to call it garbage for now.
[EDIT] Oops double post.

So what you are saying is that it's twice as good as Assassin's charge.

No? Thieves don't have to give up anything to use Assassin's charge, unlike Dancers.

I agree! Luckily, It'll remain useless because it shares a recast timer with an ability that far surpasses it

It'd be like if SA and AC shared a timer. Say goodbye to AC in that scenario~

Can you get a black abyssite from NPC and then pop Yilb? I've always had a theory that shadow'd mobs always pop in the same spot but never had the stamina to verify this. Theory came from normally seeing shadow'd karka ring krab middle of the eastern side of the map in east rona S.

Wvyern breaths don't seem notably enhanced. 3x breaths against Sallow Seymour resulted in 2 half resists and a 3/4 resist.

[Gobo]

Soothing Ruby does not cure Plague. When it does cure a status effect it says "XXXX is no longer ."

It can remove Dia, which Spring Water cannot.

[Deader2818]

This might not be the best place to ask but where can I go to config my controller to work with the test server? I cant find a config set up for it at all.
