It's Abyssea after all. Remember SMN cheating it back in the day with 87% PDT atma.

The biggest Atma was only 50%... or do you mean achieving 87.5% pdt? Cause if we want to get into what you could achieve back in the day I was getting 100% pure DT in abyssea on bst

[Draylo]

Yeah it was close to 100% before they nerfed it, I remember hating BST so much and how they would hold a NM like Hedjedjet for hours.

[Xantavia]

Well the masses dont follow forums or read notes, so when update hits there will likely be a flux of players in sea and abyssea.

I wouldn't worry about sea being crowded based on the OF. A number of posters complaining about having to have sea/limbus access for reforged gear. They spend more time wanting them to change it than it would take them to do CoP up til that point.

It wasn't close, it was 100%. There was no cap so only limited on how much you could get. Getting 100% pdt was easy but getting full dt to 100% was well a ridiculous pain the ass that was never worth it other than look what I did. Which I did do 2 weeks before SE nerfed it lol. Did some screenshots of 0 dmg from hell scissors and nukes didn't think to get some breath dmg at the time. Well I guess it might have been decent for soloing Glavoid and maybe Shinryu you could just have it tank and run in between tp moves

[Trumpy]

Dont think it was a nerf as much as it was a glitch with that atma no?

[Prothescar]

atma was merely a part of the whole. there was previously no cap to DT- (possibly for anybody, but namely for pets in this instance)

[dasva]

Well first thing they did is make avatars innate 50% pdt factor separately rather than additively because 1 atma 100% pdt was kinda insane. Though imho they should really undo that since they added a total cap anyways plus those levels were only abyssea achievable... if they made it back to being additive the few pieces of pet dt/pdt gear smn can use might end up increasing avatar survivability a nice bit but as is they aren't worth using at all. But there was no dt cap other than the 50% for players normally but nothing else or dt II players as far as we knew... I'm semi certain that the real reason they nerfed it wasn't because of pets but because at the time I believe aegis was only at 40% mdt II and they were about to raise the level cap... and 95-100% mdt for players was kinda OP. And whatever coding for caps was basically just 50% for players something else for non players and dting... uninvincabling pets was just an extra bonus

Not that anyone cares but I deactivated my 4 accounts this month. Game has been dragging ***! I don't see XI recovering at this point even with new ilvl gear/emp gear. I think too many people have quit due to stagnation - Too little too late. Just going to be lurking;

[TummieGaruda]

I wonder if SE is going to use job points or gifts in the next update to carry out their plan to entice DRK's to use scythe more.

[arus2001]

While one could theorycraft bunches of way to try and pull that off, I think the big factor would just be to make scythe WS better. I don't think the world would end if the nyzul WS could compete with Resolution.

i just noticed your sig is horribly outdated! pls redesign a new tranquil robe! Just thinking back 7 years ago everyone would have thought such a body to exist unbelievable lol

[S N K]

Looks like its confirmed to be synergy from google-fu the jp version of the post.
drilling= synergy

Just did a quick inventory check on my old shit. I'm missing Snow and Aqua so off to sea!!

[Ophannus]

Yeah that tranquil robe is actually gimp by today's standards. It would be like ilvl116 or something. More of a convenience piece for gimp players who don't have anhur/hagondes/ischemia.

Maybe lower in some regards... I mean in terms of nuking delve 1 body beats it. Though the 10% fast cast with 7% haste I think would still leave it bis for recast

4 accounts :O
Over 40$ each month :O
I envy you guys' wallets :'(

Does today's update about february's upcoming new quest (singular) imply that once again the Triumvirate one is getting delayed?

Just eat a bit more ramen!

[Ophannus]

They have only shown 2 update teasers yet. The update is probably mid february, it's only january now. There will probably be more teasers coming.

Anyone have that artwork of that giant spiral/rocky looking zone they were going to release? It didn't look like Ra'Kaznar. It was from that same JP fresh picked video from a year ago when they showcased Alluvion Skirmish weapons and 2 armor sets(still unreleased but likely will be alluvion yorcia)

-Edit- Found it!
New Yorcia armor and new zone?

[Ophannus]

Btw the sword in that pic is not Claidheamh Soluis. They show Claidheamh Soluis farther down in a screenshot of artwork of all the other alluvion weapons. But the sword next to that armor in the pic is some other, unreleased weapon. Speaking of unreleased weapons, there's still the matter of this club which is still unreleased as far as I know. To the right of the Idris.

Google-fu jp follow-up post of combined obis, gorgets, and belts, looks like:

* All 8 obis, belts, and gorgets is required.
* Level 60 Synergy is required.
* No HQ
* No plans for satchets for now.
