Patch 2.2 (Through the Maelstrom) Data Mining Thread

[mightyg]

Speaking of Gilgamesh, BBB is fantastic. So is Amdapor. Intro is totally clutch. Makes me wish it wasn't instanced so I could sit around in it like Zi'tah.

Looks like they are up.

Taken from the SQEX NA Store:

"The FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn original soundtrack contains 119 songs, which is a whopping 6 plus hours of music, from the game at release and including up to patch 2.1!"

Woulda been nice had they included patch 2.2 being that it was released literally the same week but hey it's SE we're dealing with -.-

This is somewhat disappointing. I've been hoping that the soundtrack would cover the new tracks, but I guess I'll have to wait for whichever OST will be next.

There's a tracklist as well as additional information on the Japanese Lodestone, by the way: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/music/s...e/ff14/REBORN/.

Servers up.

Perhaps Sand of time and Oil of time will drop one from each of the new hard mode dungeons at like a 1% drop rate from the final bosses?

Made this gear spreadsheet for new stuff. Maybe someone will like it. Lemme know if I made a typo anywhere, very possible.

I'm only looking at the new bagnakhs based on the amount of damage it does. Sure the off stats seriously suck, but the only item that gives the very beneficial stats is the Glanzfaust which is a lower ilvl. Sadly, SE keeps thinking that SS mnks are holyshittoptier instead of crit/det mnks. What can we do at this point? Seriously, considering to reroll to any other class out of mnk is beyond stupid, regardless we're still gonna be the highest dps in the game.

I was discussing with a FC mate on TS and apparently SE plans on adding a buffer job. Maybe SS will be relevant then.

Looks like HM (hard) is now 100 myth, 20 soldiery.

Atma appears to be potentially randomly handed out, went and did I just died in (Six Arms) in West La Noscea. Someone outside of my group got it and linked it in chat could scroll over and see it, but everyone else in my party didn't get anything, waited for it to respawn and killed it again and got nothing out of it again. So.. yeah.. not looking good.

Lv1 Exploration Venture is 18 hours orz

Big Fishing unlock quest requires a Titanic Sawfish.

Can you still use your retainer as you're venturing?

[Seravi Edalborez]

Yeah. That's also specifically the "long duration, high XP" venture. Hunting for a specific item or nothing in particular is less time-consuming.

[Rocl]

Yeah, sorry I thought people would've read the notes. I didn't see any actual time given, my bad.

Hired Junkmongers sell garden patches + dyes.

Material Supplier sells a LOT of low level mats.

[Sho]

Apparently this patch has made people fully retarded on older content. It's like they have never done Pharos or CT before ever.

[Spider-Dan]

Is there anywhere that has patch 2.2 notes up? Lodestone copy is down and I don't remember everything I need to be doing.

Just did Amdapor. 20+30 Myth for the first 2 mini-bosses. Both were easy and not really worth mentioning anything. 45 soldiery (0 myth) from Diabolos. His fight is pretty fun, going to spoiler tag it for people who want to figure it out themselves.

Spoiler: show

When you first engage him, 8 gates appear around the outside of the arena. 4 have green butterfly markers above them, 2 have blue goobues, 2 have red someshape,wasn'twatching. Green gates seem to give you a Curse status effect when you open them, which is just an increased damage taken, as far as I can tell. Red and Blue gates don't do anything on their own, and close shortly after you open them, but if you open both of the same color at the same time, you get sucked into one, and get terrored and have "Void" status (can't deal/take damage) while you run to the other. This is used when he starts charging up his spirit bomb, which he does at ~66% and ~33%. If it goes off, it does some pretty decent damage, ~3k, to the whole arena and gives you 3 stacks of Curse. If you don't Void through the first one, the second one does ~4500 (I don't remember the exact number, but it one-shot everyone but the tank, and dropped them to about 2-3k from 6.4). I honestly think you could just cheese it by eating the first and tank LBing the second, but our tank was dumb and never used it, so we just figured out the puzzle. Curse debuff lasts 3 minutes.
