DISCUSSION: 2/17/2014 Version Update

[Motenten]

Mainly curious about the augments that are possible with the +1 skirmish gear, due to one of the outstanding issues noted in the release notes -- that Beatific Shield can only get a single enhancement. Would it be worth it to restart augmenting if you could get, say, +25 M.Acc -and- +25 MAB (or whatever other pair of buffs) instead of just one or the other? Of course then you'd have get doubly lucky on the random generator, so who knows...

I really did not expect old garbage VW rares to come back into use like this...

Talk about a 1,000,000% increase in Voidwatch and a sudden upswing in plates... though It'll be kinda funny to see people getting PISSED when they get a single plate vs Kaggen's Cuticle... or Akvan's Pennion....

[Draylo]

Those items were never rare, I used to toss them all the time.

[Anomie]

Back when there was a reason to do them and we spammed something 1000 times, sure, but now?

Wouldn't be the least bit shocked if they were ninja'd down with the update as well, tbh.

Kaggen's Cuticle; Kaggen Qufim Island 2470 out of 49308 5.0%

I'd call that rare.

[Byrthnoth]

They're a 5% drop rate, so one per Voidwatch kill pretty much.

[Stan64]

So how do you even get into the new area?

[Ibisariot]

Yeah but how do we know there won't be a Skirmish IV?

Was wondering about that, too, but then I came across this again earlier.

First, the equipment we are currently planning to make upgradeable is the reward equipment from Rala Waterways, Cirdas Cavern, and Yorcia Weald skirmishes. You’ll be able to perform the final upgrade to item level 119 with the new skirmishes that are to be added.

Gotta say I'm actually kind of jazzed with the idea of 18-man alliances of 119 players doing voidwatch.

[Commskywalker]

Sorry, at work and can't check things myself but just want a concrete confirmation - all 109 Relics have the augments included, even if you upgraded from a base relic piece, yes?

And the benefit of upgrading to 109 from an Augmented +2 is the no currency cost, yes?

[Kincard]

Yes and yes.

Yeah but how do we know there won't be a Skirmish IV?

Just don't spend like 10 million gil on it this time. I get the frustration and all (I got Hexed Hakama -1 like a month before Adoulin came along) but by now I think they've made it pretty clear the only things that are going to last a long time are your RMEs. I mean if you're like Thornyy and you have capped gil on like 5 characters feel free to splurge and become the best like no one ever was but it's not like the pieces are bad if you don't fully cap every single stat on them

Gotta say I'm actually kind of jazzed with the idea of 18-man alliances of 119 players doing voidwatch.

I'm guessing with the changes to alignment increase they're aiming for you to be able to 6-man it and hit max pretty consistently.

Hell, the last time I was doing some VW clears for a friend we capped on all the important lights just by blitzing it while it was staggered.

STOP HITTING IT WE NEED LIGHTS!!!

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah... idk if this was intentional, but now having a billion mules is useful again.

From what I've seen so far, Ra'kaznar has level 114-116 Twitherym, Bats, Umbrils, Hounds, and Skeletons, and level 118 Iron Giants. The lair reives are destroyable right away, but you need to do a quest which requires 2 cloth like items to do the colonization reives.

[Sechs]

Asked already but trying again.
No new coalition ranks and no new assignments for old zones, just new ones for Ra'kaznar, correct?

[Damane]

i was hopeing for the relic quest of geo and run to be more involving, but it doesnt seem to be the case, its just another go gather mats fest
