.DAT Mining: 6/17/2014 Update - Findings and Discussion

[ccl]

Yeah drk was as bad as sam during abyssea, but even after shoha, sam was nowhere near ukko war/reso war and drk. Right now is the only time sam is the best dd since 75 and I'm not even sure non koga sam are better than other dd, this update was just perfect for koga sam, 4hit w/o lentus, stronger fudo and non resist sc.

[errantfish]

I tried a few things like Altana but not in all caps. I wonder if it's one or more words and are there spaces. >.<

Ah, it won't let you add spaces, numbers etc. You can only use 16 letters max.

PEACEKEEPERS no
THEPEACEKEEPERS no
ALTANA no
ORDEROFVOCANE no
GRATZIGG no

any other ideas and i'll try them. I have a few others but it's really boring to run there :D

Where is the spot in Rala?

Nevermind, I found it.

I tried

THEDEATHBORNEXOL
DEATHBORNEXOL
XOL
SIREN

None of those worked.

I also tried ORTHARSYNE which didn't work, but did teleport me onto the top of a lamp post in the city.

Isn't Tsurumaru still pretty good? Constant 35 save tp with ionis. Though resolutions update was kinda insane for anyone with a gswd

[ccl]

Thing is update gave a much weaker buff to tsurumaru than it did to koga, koga won 2% delay(don't need lentus anymore) and it's a lot easier (for me at le last) to self sc with koga than tsuru. But even without considering easier sc, on spreadsheet the gap between tsuru and koga is bigger than pre update, but I didn't try to perfect tsuru build.

[dasva]

Well yeah obviously it wont be as good but I'd think sam with it would still be a fairly competitive DD

[ccl]

Oh yeah it's def a competitive with just tsuru

[Malithar]

None of those worked.

Didn't see the post translated proper to see if anything else can be gleaned from it, but Lop did mention "But this keyword, ...... seems difficult equivalent I think because it is enough to have leaked the person in charge is difficult." Perhaps it's someone we don't expect, or haven't even heard of yet? Then there's the clues from the board that's either incomplete or incorrect. :/ Maybe as time goes on, more quests/KIs will be added that add to it slowly, until we'll able to decrypt it.

Anyone check Roll +5 Ring and Miser's yet?

Would that + Tsurumaru be valid in any situation?

[perryk]

I was wondering if the letters E T N R Q V F R are the first initials of some group of 8 things, since the letters on the sides of the puzzle were the starting letters of the 12 orders of Adoulin. I'm just having trouble thinking of many groups of 8 in the game, especially having to do with Adoulin. The Naakuals are supposedly 7, and the letters don't work. There are eight elements, eight celestial avatars... I really don't know, but it's bugging me.

Assuming Tsurumaru sams are your only dds in that pt it's pretty hot. Just remember though the save tp caps at 50 and Tsurumaru + inois is already 35 so as long as your cor isn't braindead you should be able to cap even without the new roll. That said kinda curious how much it adds. If it's a straight +5 that means an 11 with ionis would be 40 save tp for everyone which might be worthwhile for non sams

I *think* the ring adds +10 save TP.

[dasva]

Self skillchains for everyone!

[Lyramion]

Went out and tested it. Got 325 TP returned on a 11 every time outside of Adoulin area. 275 TP on a lucky roll.

So 425 TP for everyone in Adoulin on a 11.

[Sechs]

Has anybody sorted out the various Ionis bonuses?

• Peacekeepers: Moderate Enhancement to Max HP and MP (previous tier was +50 to each)
• Courier's: Minor Critical Hit Rate Increase (???)
  Moderate Critical Hit Rate Increase (???)
  Moderate Haste Effect (another +12/1024 for a total of +24/1024 including the previous tier?)
• Mummer's: Chimney (??? what does the last construction add to Ionis?)

Data pulled from HERE

[Fwahm]

Peacekeeper's adds another +50 to HP and MP, for a total of +100.

Mummer's gives absolutely nothing.

Kincard translated that post.

Mystery in the Rala Waterways (6/25)
The mystery point in Rala Waterways will have an event occur if you input the correct keyword. But it is quite difficult. As such, the person in charge wants to give a little hint within the spoiler.
You do not solve the quest simply by looking for the code appearing in the quest. You must change it somehow and obtain a word from there.
In addition, it must be typed in all capitals.

ROT13 gives R G A E D I S E, which seems so close to an answer. (Anagrams to disagree, also, which isn't the answer.)

Nope. Worth a shot though.
Anyone else got stuff they want me to try? I'm happy to spend 30 minutes running down there and throwing random names at it, if anyone wants to just try randomly.

Random answers I've tried, or are going to try, will be listed below. Going to chuck names I've found in the library at it.
