6/13/12 Update - .DAT Mining Discussion

[Draylo]

I want the moogle suit.

[Spira]

Am finally able to sign onto POL but the game itself is still down. "Check Version" button is available but if you already downloaded the update via "Check Files" then you're good to go. Just have to wait for the game to come back online.

edit: math fail LOL

maint extended tho

[seiji]

I was so sure the new gear was going to be amazing, coming after what they did with the nyzul sets. This is really disappointing. I can't see many people doing this.

Many people can't get NIUR 100 (QQ(luck), QQ(SCH*2DD*4) QQ(cheat)...) some gear may be good target for them

[SargentRemora]

Server's up. Homam/Nashira are not upgraded via ToM. Sagherra's not mentioning anything either.

[Alistaire]

Was offered 5 ABC's for either smoky or charcoal chip, gives a confirmation screen before going through with the deal. I figure tier 1 temenos is probably 5 too but maybe more for tier 2? Someone could check without risking losing it due to the confirmation screen.

[SargentRemora]

5 ABCs for a Tier 1 Temenos chip as well. Stingy fucks.

[Cairthenn]

Odin's Chamber/II definitely only need 3 feathers to make the lamp. I imagine every person going needs 3 feathers as well, but I can't be certain. Will update tomorrow unless someone does before then.

[Byrthnoth]

Neither Wilhelm, the moogles, nor soapwench want anything to do with my homam.

[Kalmado]

This is just what we needed, a new reason for solo NINs to take even longer killing empyrean mobs!

TP wings! But having everyone use it is asking a lot, i know

People still farm empyrean weapons?

People still make comments like this? Reminds me of that one quote someone has in their sig (I'm probably butchering it):

People bring Pld/War to dynamis?
People bring Pld to dynamis?
People do dynamis?
People play ffxi?

[SargentRemora]

Really does make me wonder if old Homam/Nash is even up gradable. The new sets certainly look like a direct upgrade from the Lv.75 Limbus pieces, so I don't see why they wouldn't be.

Only new amouple purchases are the Valkyrie feather items, purchasable in the same fashion.

[Nightfyre]

People play ffxi?

nope

[Limlight]

I can't speak for other servers, but during jp primetime nm's can be fairly camped. Also while people scream about the game dying I've seen quite a number of returning players who are getting caught up. So nm's are also fairly busy even during na times these past couple months.

[Damane]

Odin's Chamber/II definitely only need 3 feathers to make the lamp. I imagine every person going needs 3 feathers as well, but I can't be certain. Will update tomorrow unless someone does before then.

people need 3 feathers, I dont see any misswording on that part. it says explicit "To enter odisn blabla you need 3 valkyre feathers + lamp". And that kept general, so all people need it. Would be nice tough if I am mistaken.

[Byrthnoth]

As someone suggested earlier, it's 5 ABCs for all Tier 1 chips and 10 ABCs for Tier 2 Temenos chips. That's pretty weak, SE.

[Cairthenn]

ffxi?

lol

[Atoreis]

Not really sure whats wrong with this body:

Enif Corazza
DEF:75 HP+45 MP+45 Accuracy+23
"Quadruple Attack"+2% Haste+3%

It looks very good for many situations for Apoc/Ragna DRK. Dropping armada will obviously ruin your xhit usually but, lets face it, when you gonna play DRK now w/o very potent regain (not to mention getting tp for being hit).

Beside sTP you have:
24att, 2-3fSTR, 3%DA vs 2%QA, 45HP(souleater), 3%haste which may offer some nice changes for feet slot for example

It is at least comparable.

[Kalmado]

lol

Man you are so cool!

On topic, nothing in this update excites me.

[Kanachan]

New dialogue with Wilhelm:

Spoiler: show

Yes...it's unmistakable.
A fragment of Omega, and a far more ancient specimen than any we've encountered thus far!

Now, Hadiyah will have no choice but to recognize my efforts!
Wilhelm's day has come, and it shall be a glorious one! Muahahahahahaha!

Ahem... Word has it that there are other curious materials to be found in this otherworldly place.
Deliver to me some samples along with this fragment, and I shall reward you with rare pieces of equipment from the Consortium's vaults.

Furthermore, should you already possess any pieces of equipment from a previous transaction, I would encourage you to deliver them to me along with this segment.

The Consortium has in its employ a smith of the highest renown.
He shall work his genius upon your treasured possession.

I see you are a [man/woman] of your word.
As am I, my friend. Take this, for you have earned it many times over.

Why, this is...! A segment of Ultima, and one unlike any I have seen before!
Wherever, pray tell, did you come upon this?

Ah, but it matters not. What matters is that Kamaal--that blustering blowhard--will finally be forced to show me some respect!
Heh! Hah! Heahaheahehahyah!

Ahem... Word has it that there are other curious materials to be found in this otherworldly place.

Ah, exactly what I had hoped to see!
The Consortium is ever grateful for your contributions, friend.
Take this, and may it serve you well.

This part in particular catches one's attention:

Spoiler: show

[SargentRemora]

inb4 you need both the original piece and a segment from the Arch Boss to upgrade them...

[Byrthnoth]

That's almost certainly what it is. All that we don't know at the moment is whether you need the matching segment. The dialogue is ambiguous.
