August 2014 Version Update Findings and Discussion

[Ophannus]

The new zone is absolutely gigantic, it goes on for lightyears(most of it may be inaccessible low res-background) but it looks like a gigantic Quake II level. It's laggy as fuck because there's so much shit to process and render, it's not like a closed dungeon like Ruhmet Garden or Castle Zvahl, there's no ceiling, it's like a giant, open descending maze inside of an enormous void, there's no walls or ceiling, just a giant path that branches and has teleports and weird floating blocks and Fomors dressed in Nakaaul armor and Artifact gear. I tried engaging a Rune Fencer fomor because we haven't fought many RUN type mobs, wanted to see if it would use JAs and was disappointed, didn't even have an en-effect. Interestingly though, about 25% of my attacks dealed 0 damage to it maybe to compensate for not being able to use runes or parry it has a high rate of occasionally nullifying damage? Best way to access new zone is take the Descending Elevator from the north part of I6 on the first floor of RaKazanar then take the East elevator from the 2nd floor to Inner Court. Nothing to do here really but there's a bunch of 118-121 mobs: Hounds, Fluturini, Acuexes, Fomor, Skeletons, Gargoiles, Leeches, Iron Clads.

Anyone try the new RoE quests for beating Dynamis NMs? Does it give you any bonus rewards like other RoE quests? Maybe currency lol, also anyone try the Sky God RoE's and see if it gives you a free Haidate?

[Lyramion]

how do you get to I-12 Island? I see Mobs there for Eminence on Widescan.

I didn't see a way. Either I missed it or it's one of the inaccessible sections (for now). After running around for an hour, I was starting to get sick of the place, lol. If it's like everything else in the zone, there would be a teleporter on the other floor directly above it (the maps are offset a bit, so the coordinates wouldn't be the same).

[Tachi]

There is an invisible bridge that connect H-12 and I-12 islands.

[Draylo]

I kinda feel like these new skirmish weapons look too good to be in skirmish lol. I like the sword.

they have bitchin models, especially considering the previous skirmish weapons were just old shitty models - wonder if we'll see them getting periodic upgrades again

Only in the leap from the lion's head shall he prove his worth!

[Damane]

is there an enigmatic device you can assign yourself too, so you have some waypoint or so? i didnt find anything in inner-rakaznar and its going to be a gigantic bitch to get there everytime via outer rakaznar oO

also where is everyone pulling those nice maps out of their ass, and can I have a datswap of this + a datswap with the maps from blugartr wiki for outer!?

[Malithar]

New title given is "Adumbration Dispenser"

Thought they were the same at first, but the title for Cirdas is "Adumbration Disperser."

[coldbrand]

Aren't these the same weapons seen in the image of the painting of the Adoulin King and the 11 other knights? I remember the lance.

[Spira]

Spoiler: show

Xol's theme music

ah yeah thats the one, thank you

[dasva]

Ummmm... Solace with Curaga gives cureskin now. Maybe intended, maybe spagetticode with new Jobpoints?

Yeah looks like that was part of the reason for the emergency maintenance .

I thought there was going to be a throwing update for NIN. Guess not.

Anyways, is there a breakdown of how much HP boost is granted per job trait?

Does not include WAR NIN and PLD buffs.

[Dotsudoku]

The amount given by a trait is static. All that matters is how many upgrades of the trait you get. Count them if you want to know how much each job got.
