April 2013 Version Update - BG Wiki Update

[Slycer]

So the April 2013 version update has come and gone, throwing a curve ball at all of our best gear sets and scaring a good portion of the playerbase into thinking all the time they spent on their RME(C) weapons was about to go down the drain... at least for a few days, anyway.

BG Wiki is mostly up-to-date with the new content, so I just wanted to summarize here. Obviously the number one addition from April's update is Delve:

https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Delve

From the Delve page, you'll find information about how Delve works, links to each of the individual NM pages (some more detailed than others, please add in any information as details about the fights are uncovered), some great maps put together by Gwyn, and a link to the Delve Rewards page:

On the Delve Rewards page, lists of each possible equipment drop from Delve are sorted by type and monster tier, with information on which monster drops the item, and what key item and plasm amount are needed to buy the item. The page also includes a detailed list of the possible upgrade paths for each upgradable weapon and armor component, along with the full list of upgrades compiled in one place under the Mezzotinting heading:

Aside from updates to Delve, individual pages were updated as needed:

• Turned Recycle and Desperate Blows into job trait pages
• Adjusted Scavenge information
• Adjusted timers on RUN abilities
• Added Chocobo Jig II
• Adjusted the merit points page (magic and WS categories).

Of course, information has continued to pour in for Seekers of Adoulin content, and while I won't link much of that here, most of the SoA pages for the original content introduced in March are now fully fleshed out such as the Skirmish page and the Coalition Assignments page.


Finally, I'd like to draw attention to a project which we just rolled out with the beautification and update of the monster template for all monster templates, shifting all monster pages to a unified format which is both more informative and better condensed than the older format. Plus, it looks cooler. Check out Cair's post for more information:

So that's about all for April's update. It may not seem like a whole lot, but there's a ton of information about Delve, so please check it out and contribute!

Ragns added auto-complete to the forums as well. If you look at the top of FFXI forums and type within the BGwiki search, you'll see suggestions appear as you type.

I don't see these suggestions!
