Magic damage+ is not a % increase. Looking like its actual damage>.> before mab is applied. Tested on rdm w/ cape. (Cape drops randomly from new reives)

Spoiler: show

rdm base mab +28, the numbers are a bit off

bliz 1 naked: 204
bliz 1 cape: 212
bliz 1 naked+25mab:244
bliz 1 cape+25mab:253

bliz 2 naked: 432
bliz 2 cape: 440
bliz 2 naked+25mab:517
bliz 2 cape+25mab:526

bliz 4 naked: 1104
bliz 4 cape: 1112

dia naked: 2
dia cape: 2

bio 2 naked: 64
bio 2 cape: 71

After seeing a couple earlier notes about it, this is pretty much what I expected. It looks like it's being added directly to the V value of the magic damage equation. Bliz 1 base damage goes from 160 to 166. Bliz 2 base damage goes from 338 to 344. Etc.

It's somewhat comparable to gains from Int, except that you get the same value regardless of your current dInt. Essentially, it's most useful at very high dInts, where it takes larger amounts of Int to gain that same increase in base damage. It's also more useful for lower tier spells for two reasons: a fixed increase in base damage is a higher percent gain for the lower starting V; and the M values for lower tier spells are lower than for higher tier spells. +6 base damage can be as little as +1 int for low dInt on high tier spells, but can be up to 6 int for high dInt on low tier spells.

Colonization Reives in Marjami Ravine:

L-9
K-8
J-11

Feel free to ad any info I post on the wiki btw.

[Tarage]

Just did some Colonization Rieves on SMN, with the new Satch equipped my Predator Claws were doing between 3400 and 4000. Without: 1200-1600...

My Summoning skill is far from capped, but those numbers look like it increases damage significantly.

Good lord. If that's true, that's over double... Which Satch?

[Tymon]

Good lord. If that's true, that's over double... Which Satch?

Double with uncapped skill and assumedly not optimal gear, yeah..

[Renzy]

[Seol]

You have 107 emails. Coudn't see past that sorry.

[Renzy]

You have 107 emails. Coudn't see past that sorry.

I don't know my mail password!

[Jem]

You can change it on your square enix account login I think.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, go to your SE account (online) and change it. That will reset your e-mail message count even if you don't look at them.

[Seol]

So there's Ocachi Gorget and Amiiiiniiiikiiiii bullet out of place, Nakaaul drops x1 hat, x1 hands OR feet, x2 weapons, x1 gorget or bullet maybe?

[Gokulo]

Yeah, go to your SE account (online) and change it. That will reset your e-mail message count even if you don't look at them.

This is like the most useful info I learned about XI in years.

[Falkirk]

Is that 2k per...? Also how'd you test max hp out of curiosity?

Yeah, 2k per. Still need to test Herald some more, but pretty sure it's not worth it.

Max HP testing involves Healing Salve I in Abyssea.

Lost Article at E-6 in Marjami Ravine.

[InspectorGadget]

Good lord. If that's true, that's over double... Which Satch?

Dashavatara Sash. costs 30k plasm, I believe requires Foret T4/5 KI to purchase.

Added walkthrough of finishing the Climbing skill quest
http://bg-wiki.com/bg/Hide_and_Go_Peak

Either vine in the middle of Cirdas accesses the middle ledge H-8ish or I-9ish. Then requires watercraft to go across and zone into Yorcia Weald.

Dead end blocked walls in Cirdas are still dead ends. North vine in cirdas at D-4 is just plain not targetable. The south vine in Cirdas however can be used with Climbing. It zones out to Dho Gates K-4. This location is very near where Dho Gates exits to Foret's northern island. And so now it is possible to reach the north Foret island and the veil fracture just by walking and using the Climbing skill.

[grevenilvec75]

Got SAM and WHM cape from reives in marijuana whatever.

[Outlaw]

Beware: In Morimar in the areas we could never access before with the vines there are IT++ mobs. For example in the middle of I-10. I mention this cause sometimes the mobs can be close to the top or bottom of the vines.

Ah. Well, I suppose I can be happy with doubling my avatar's damage.

[NynJa]

Has anyone seen new coalition assignments for new areas? I'm contributor in scouts, and I'm not getting access to any missions in new areas. Is it because I havent visited them yet? I'm pretty sure there are Logi's in the new areas to examine for example.

"New Coalition Assignments have been implemented for the new areas added in this version update."
