DISCUSSION: 08/05/2013 Version Update

[dejet]

or maybe you get more than that random 700 based off what you do? I could live with that.

[Chamaan]

Doing check version already and servers supposed to go up in 15. No dat mining hype during a 9 hour maint. Kind of sad but oh well. Wasn't a huge update anyway.

[Fwahm]

Servers go up in 45, you mean.

[Chamaan]

Ah you're right. For some reason I thought 10-11.

um? everything you said here is wrong. The servers have been down less than an hour and we still have 45 min till they come up. WTF you smoking? check file just poped up in the last 10min

[Washburn]

The hostility.

[Rentwokay]

The following enemies in the areas below have a chance to drop new spoils when defeated.
- Cirdas Caverns
- - Acuexes / Worms
- Yorcia Weald
- - Crawlers

If they move some of the rare mining loot to these mobs, I'm going to be pissed.

I want some of the good stuff, make 45min feel like 9 hours?

[fantasticdan]

Do we know what families of beasts/lizards/etc. will be available in this update for monstrosity?

My money's on drops needed for new jobs' AF quests, or some shit. Can't have nice armour without farming tedium!

[Byrthnoth]

Could be that, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Cirdas worms start dropping Scholar Stones.

Yes, all of those things I said are wrong. I didn't get the check version as soon as it was up for this not-9-hour-maint that isn't very huge. But I did freely admit that the delicious crack I was smoking did make me misremember a half hour.

Thanks for trying to put me on blast. Otherwise I'd never know that being wrong about 1/4th of the things I said qualified as being wrong about EVERYTHING.

I bought up stacks of Leafkin Founds assuming this very thing. Tried to stock Akaso Thread/Cloth too, but that was difficult.

[Maurauc]

I just stuck the AF in the findings thread. Some interesting gear right there!

[Malithar]

Can see why they only showed Geo hands in those teaser pics. :/ Really had my hopes up seeing literally everything that I'd want on Geo on the hands, then every other piece just kind of bullshitting around. Guessing body enhances Indi/Geo-Refresh (or maybe not, I see that Run has the exact same effect on its body), something we weren't even really used for. <3 the movement speed, but really, I'd rather AF be reserved for enhancing the class, not giving quality of life bonuses that 15-20 mil can buy.

Haven't done shit but RUN and GEO Adoulin wise, here's a Geo Quest:

"Collect three chunks of acuex ore, which can be found on acuexes in Cirdas Caverns. "

Is that one of said rare mining loot or is this new?

[Sechs]

How do you people consider RUN AF gloves vs Buremte Gloves?
I'm kinda surprised by the huge amount of Haste on every RUN piece. That's like 24% just from those 5 slots? It's like they're begging you to use Windbuffet belt, or isn't it?
Yet no attack and no accuracy.

I'm excited about those items.
Didn't they say RUN and GEO would have got an AF weapon as well? Did the SE bros change their minds?

[Yeager]

Yeah, where's the AF Club/Bell for GEO and the AF Great Sword for RUN?

I've never seen it before. I'm guessing they added it with the quests, as others have theorized.

[Byrthnoth]

RUN AF has 73 DEX on it, 0 Acc, and 0 Enmity. Best of luck tanking, guys! At least it looks like it might have some good macro pieces in it.

GEO AF looks pretty solid in terms of utilitarian pieces, but the best pieces there are probably going to be hands (damage-10%) and body (Enhances Life Cycle). The other pieces have some potential to be better than what GEOs were using in those slots before, but none of it is mindblowing.
