I've gotten THF in both Yorica and Marjami, I also got BST in Marjami and a friend for BST in Yorica the next day, I don't think they are tied to any exclusive zones and you just have a slim chance to get what you want.

[Tarage]

Where did the cape drop for you?

Or are these capes dropping everywhere?

[Karizo]

colonization reives (maybe lair as well) in the 3 new zones, dho/marjami/yorcia

[Shenrien]

I can confirm that Lair reives will give you mantles as well, got Bookworm from one earlier today.

[Funkworkz]

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but they added this line to the version update page today (yesterday?) http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/35228

The upper limit on the resistance against magic for both PC and monsters has been increased.

Ok, knocked down the new quests this update to 6 left, "Elementary, My Dear Sylvie" and "Endeavoring to Awaken" I think are the 75 cap quests for RUN and GEO, so not gonna bother with them.

"Courtesy Crustacean" and "Trinket for the Tyrant" are the only Mog Gardens quests I have yet to complete.

"Order Up", I think requires the library card, so that one will have to wait.

"One Good Turn..." is confusing me. Started talking to Chelidoine in East Adoulin and he did nothing. Than the minute I hit Fame 5 he started asking me multiple choice questions about what the best way to be a pioneer is. This gave me hope. But now he doesn't do anything again. I do not have the quest in either the Current or Completed Adoulin quest list. All he says now after the multiple choice question log is, "Time to turn my past failures into future successes!"

Anyone else been able to flag any of these last few quests?

[Kanachan]

"One Good Turn..." requires a JP midnight wait (or some other arbitrarily long waiting period) after answering questions. The quest disappears from your log after answering them. When you come back after JP midnight he will go through and tell you what he succeeded at. If you answered them all properly the quest moves to the completed quest log.

Just waiting on CQ tally for library cards and potential Mog Garden continuation.

Anyone able to flag wayward waypoints?

[NynJa]

found these on some JP bbs, trying to find map coords for new areas

[Arthars]

nice maps thanks man

[Sechs]

I'd like to understand better how these new weapons work.
So appearently the "(weapon) skill+188" only applies to the current hand the weapon is equipped on, correct? Which means ~188attack and ~170accuracy only on one hand, wether it's main or off.
This is something special only for the new weapons and doesn't apply to old weapons who have +skill stats, right?

What exactly do these mean?

[Shenrien]

I can't wait for a final draft for Yorcia Weald, I was starting work on a map tonight had a rough draft but saw like 3 maps being made and figured fuck it, and just wait, there is still a hefty bit missing from that map can only imagine the strain the person making it is going through with the extra details they are putting in.

[NynJa]

its not THAT bad to make a map...to make one that will work perfectly with apradar is another story.



This zone is incredibly compressed for the map it offers, the map could easily be zoomed in 2x.

[Malithar]

Anyone able to flag wayward waypoints?

Was able to with rank 5 fame after both new areas had their Frontier Stations built.

Quest details: Starts at Sharuru in Eastern Adoulin. She asks you to visit the waypoints at each of the Frontier Stations and Lower Jeuno. The Lower Jeuno one has some kind of issue though, and after reporting back to her, she has you go to the Inventor's to upgrade your scanner to fix the issue. Speak to Shipilolo next to the entrance to get a Waypoint Recalibration Kit. Hit up Lower Jeuno again, then return to Sharuru for 1k exp, 500 bayld, and 3k kinetic units.

RUN fight took me maybe about 5 minutes, pretty quick way to get 3k bayld. East Adoulin talk to RUN quest guy > zone from east adoulin to rala, fight is very close to there and was about as much a joke as you'd expect @ lvl 99. Then return to NPC @ East Adoulin.

[Nerji]

These are the coords for the 3 new areas that I found from the JPs bbs

;107 Yorushia forest; forest 107_jname = Yorushia
107_0=0.1,128,-0.1,130,-10000,-10000,-10000,10000,10000,10000
;10A Mariami valley 10A_jname = Mariami valley
10A_0=0.2,128,-0.2,142,-10000,-10000,-10000,10000,10000,10000
; Gate of 110 Dorchester gate of 110_jname = Dorchester
110_0=0.2,168,-0.2,167,-10000,-10000,-10000,10000,10000,10000

Just convert the maps to gif, rename them to their IDs (110_0 etc) then put them in the maps folder and add those coords to the bottom of your map.ini file
