Thanks SE, we didn't know what "removed" meant.

Mostly I like that it basically comfirms skirmish weapons will be ilvl 113. Gives good hopes for offhand weapons

Content level for Skirmish II is just below Delve NM T4/5 I believe, so more than likely they will be 111 or 112. I'm going with 112, with possible augments making them just as good as a plasma weapon.

They post it like that because while impossible as it sounds, some people don't follow simple english. Glad they got rid of those shitty things from that zone. Imo if they wanted to make it easier to deal with, just make the fucking things no longer True Sight/Sound and problem solved either way.

[Taim Meich]

Or just put those not in the way to the important stuff, like the Reives.

[NynJa]

I think removing true sight/sound would be better...no standard mob should ever have true sight/sound

[Taim Meich]

Panopts are only true sound (which is bad enough, but still).

[Slycer]

Looks like the GEO set is "Geo", ジオ　=　ji o. ジョオ　=　jo o.

Oh duh lol. Anyway the official is "Geomancy" for GEO and "Runeist" for RUN. How boring.

If SE's server-code wasn't crap, I'd have been for true-sound being avoidable just by walking through them.

Panopts are true sight only, you mean. I walk behind them all the time to avoid getting agro.

[NynJa]

whatever it is, they gag on dicks.

Boring? Usually the 'fancy' names for job-specific gear is saved for Relic/Empyrean sets. Artifact has always been plain jane, matter of fact names.

Healer
Cleric
Orison

Chaos
Abyss
Bale

Ninja
Koga
Iga

etc.

Nope, true sound with a pretty small detecting radius. The same distance you walk behind them all the time could be walked in front of them and still no aggro.

This is all tested on Moh gates Panopts, but I'd bet it applies to all Panopts.

[Fwahm]

Not true. I've been aggrod from over 10 yalms away when walking in front, and yet gone within 2 yalms behind with no aggro at all. This counts the Moh Panopts, since I did a number of morimar bivouac runs.

[dasva]

Yeah I have the same thing happen when I do runs around. I can go right behind but if they look at me I'm fucked

[Taim Meich]

I don't have a reason to not believe you, so I'll check again next time I go there. Still, I'm pretty sure they're only true sound, but another test won't do any harm.

[Khajit]

Only Japan would think there's a need to have a command to make everyone else naked in a game.

• Adjustment of EXP Acquisition
As viewed from a level 99 player standpoint, the amount of experience obtained when there is a six or more level difference has been adjusted. For enemies of lower level than the player, there is no change.

the hell does this mean

[dasva]

Sounds like mobs lvl 105+ give different amounts of experience now... I'd guess probably having to do with the new ilvl xp system

[Fwahm]

The experience you gain from mobs level 105 or higher has been changed.

[Dominico]

Ah, alright then. For a sec there it sounded like xp gain was about to get hit with the nerf bat.
