Looks as though Vagary is basically Delve 3.0, featuring the Xol NMs <sp?>

[dasva]

I think I'm looking forward to the Paralyze adjustment the most. Saboteur Paralyze II is going to be crippling against magic heavy mobs.

It's just going to potentially last longer not going to be any stronger

[Fwahm]

Yeah, but currently, Saboteur isn't really worth using on Paralyze II, just because it could last less than a minute, and rarely lasts more than two. Something like Distract II or Slow II will last almost 4 minutes with it, which overall makes better use of the JA.

After the update, you'll be able to get full potency Saboteur Paralyze II for extended periods of time.

[dasva]

Well half potency saboteur on nms but usually longer durations yes

[dasva]

Couple of jp posts... one looks like they are going to make it so mobs in skirmish don't agro pets. And something about the job trait bug

[Sechs]

The no aggro on pets is uh... gives me mixed feelings. It always felt like a bug, but it was beneficial if used the right way.
What's the "job trait bug" you're talking of?

[NynJa]

Its def a bug lol

Quadruple Campaign Extravaganza! (03/06/2015)

The following four campaigns will commence on Friday, March 6.

Campaign Period
Friday, March 6, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. (PST) Thursday, March 26 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT)

Double Capacity Point Campaign
Vanquishing monsters during the campaign period will yield double the normal amount of capacity points.
This is the perfect time to enhance your favorite jobs by earning job points and coveted gifts!

Bonus Bayld Campaign
A bonus will be added to all lair, colonization, and wildskeeper reive evaluations during the campaign period.
This bonus to evaluations means the amount of bayld and experience points earnable from each reive is roughly doubled, with the maximum values being increased as well!

Surge Walk Campaign
All walks that appear in the Walk of Echoes during the campaign period will be surge walks, increasing the chances for earning precious loot!
*If only a regular walk is available at the beginning of the campaign period, a surge walk will appear after it is cleared.

Alter Ego Expo
During the campaign period, all alter egos will enjoy the following bonuses.
- Maximum HP and MP will be increased by fifty percent
- A high resistance to all status ailments will be gained.

While this campaign lasts, your alter egos will be ready to face the most trying of tasks!

Usually update is after the monthly campaigns, wonder if march update is that late.

[Yeager]

I doubt it. Mainly because they've already released a lot of information about the coming update, and that usually takes place a week or two before the actual update.

My guess is 17th or 18th, while the Double Stuff campaign is still going.

[Lyramion]

Guess that's the answer to "your campaigns are silly!". I am excited for Surge tho for my distinct lack of Ombre Tathlum +1.

[Ligray]

One jp Dev post today looks like herald's gaiters will be replaced by rare/ex version and added to an bcnm in March update.
Summary post Matsui said late march for the update.

[shepardG]

...i am displeased to see tiamat die like this... i mean... he/she was on their death bed anyway but... herald fucking gaiter's man!

[FaeQueenCory]

Don't feel too bad.
It'll be like a reverse bounding/leaping boots situation.
So the epeen prestige can still be found with Tiamat.

[Ophannus]

Bcnm adding herald gaiters type item, added to which bcnm? Bcnm99 ? Or a phantom gem bahamut v2(cuz he summons tiamat).

Not exactly like leaping boots. With those NM, the mobs dropped the r/ex, and the real item came from the bcnm.

Based on Ligray's post, that's exactly what is happening here, too, so not sure what you mean.

[Draylo]

So I'm not sure if this is related to the double Cp campaign only or what, but I'm getting like 300 CP per kill on Moblin maze monger mobs. I guess its because they scale to your level? I thought they would be capped and give no CP though lol, any useful mazes that can be made with a lot of mobs?

[Fwahm]

They give CP normally; any mob level 96 or higher will give CP. If I use Capacity Ring, a Dynamis farming run usually gives me about one job point if double CP campaign is active, because half of the higher tier of each mob type gives CP, for example.

[Draylo]

Yeah I figured that, I guess I just forgot that MMM stuff scaled to your level. I wonder if any mazes can be done for quick CP, I remember in the day there were some that kept respawning in waves that BLM leveled on.

[Rehn]

I guess it wasn't mentioned this was included either, but we have a +30% accolade bonus too. Deal 500+ damage 100 times yielded 130 vs. 100 listed. Likewise, various "obtain 10 x crystal" gives 26 instead of 20.

[Fwahm]

That's normal. You get a bonus to accolade gain the further your unity is from first place.
