10/7/2014 Update! Findings/Discussion

[Classikmage]

I think we can safely assume... based on common sense that the drops for, the weapons at least, are as follows

Garuda:
Levante Dagger

Ifrit:
Perfervid Sword

Shiva:
Calved Claws

Titan:
Mafic Cudgel

Ramuh:
Staccato Staff

Leviathan:
Vadose Rod

Based on the fact they're pretty much Avatar Weapons +1.

I did Shiva(difficult) earlier and saw Calved Claws and Fravil Staff drop, so can guarantee them. Just from namesake I'm going to assume Nilas Gloves and Rimeice Earring are her other two drops.

As far as I know it works the same as any ranged except no ratt penalty for being right in front of the mob.

Isn't the sweet spot for throwing right in the mob's face anyway?

[Anoat]

Is doing the Cait Sith quest a pre-req for Atomos/Lilisette trust? I tried using conflux in Marshlands and nothing happened. Used the one in Grauberg and it started Cait Sith quest.

[Elizara]

I think it is anoat. I'll go log on and try it myself.

the requirements were in the patch notes - the cait sith quest was a requirement

Just did another Shiva(Difficult) and Rimeice Earring dropped. so can confirm that one was well. One more drop to confirm which I believe to be Nilas Gloves.

EDIT: just a side note, Shiva's personal REM drops are REM 10.

Another edit!! Just did another Shiva, Nilas Gloves confirmed!! But I lost the lot! D:

One of our LS tanks logged on. Going to test on Titan Prime, see if Earthen Fury is indeed Frontal Conal attack, and not AoE. Results incoming shortly.

[Elizara]

Okay, went in, I know you know this anoat..(Sent him a tell in game)

But I do have Cait, and I got the quest set up, no problem what so ever. Even tho it's a silly confirm, it's a comfirm. ^^

We wiped. We tried with a PLD, PUP/WHM x3, COR, GEO setup on difficult and failed miserably. There's definitely a hate reset going on, but we can't figure out what's triggering it.

[NynJa]

OKAY SO

Titan personally drops ch.8, but his loot pool drops ch.9
what the fuck

[Byrthnoth]

We did two Avatars on Normal with NIN, MNK, RUN, GEO, BRD, WHM and slammed them in like 4 minutes/kill or something. Titan used Earthen Fury twice for double digit damage.

[Armz]

Leviathan dropped Phreatic Axe

[Spira]

The new Incursion music sucks. I liked the old one better because it was an underused OST song.

what was the old one

edit: nvm found it in a JP video. (i hate when people dub it with their own music)
...Fury does seem kinda out of place.

[dasva]

So just tried easy dual box aegis pld and whm.

So earthfury definitely AOE. Got hit 20' away from the side. Also that seemed to reset hate the first time and a couple of other times but not every time. Also looked more like removal from hate list than actual reset since I could regain mob attention with any action. Also the old height difference trick worked


Dia ii, holy ii, flash, got Green proc, cdc got red, shield bash and provoke intervene got blue. Looks like any magic that actually lands is green ws red ja blue. However they wouldn't always land... eyeballing but it seemed like the more you spammed the less it procced but if you backed off a bit then you could do 2-3 in a row. Also every single proc I did and I got like 20 that fight interrupted a spell or move if it was doing one. Which was most of them since I started trying to time it. Also pretty sure I got a white proc somewhere but was kinda busy so forget off which

Anyways receive tale 8 but dropped 6 and 9 into the pool as well as D clothe.... also was very close had less than 1 minute left. Damn my pld dmg gimpness. Part of that was not being capped acc in my normal tank set but when I found a sushi on my mule it looked like it went to about capped when my acc buffs were up. None of the moves were too threatening though. Even the earthern only did like 600-800 most the time to my whm mule in cure gear. No magic dmg ever did more than 280 to my aegis so that would be 1100 to 50% mdt. The most threaten move was actually Megalith Throw but was only doing around 600-100

[Tachi]

VD :
Hits for 500-650 + 350-460 dmg add effect on a DD.
BP merit is AoE and hits for 1200-1700 with Bar/Shell/Fend.
Astral Flow reset the hate and is a normal TP move (or has a very short "recast").
Seigan / Third Eye was very effective.

Titan title : Lithosphere Annihilator
Ifrit title : Blaze Marshaller

Titan dropped Foreshock Sword, Togakushi Shuriken
Shiva dropped Floestone

Old: music157 - Fury (used in cutscenes)
New: music170 - Buccaneers (pirate attack on the ferry)
I had just replaced the old music with something else too, but whatever.

[Ophannus]

Did a 129 incursion tonight and was delighted to see my wyvern win the accuracy parse. I used shiromochi+1(gives the same acc as sole sushi i believe ~75, but gives my wyvern +150). Since wyverns have a base acc of like 930(which is higher than most other jobs and pets), the mochi pushed him over 1180 so he was nearly capped at about 92.6% while mostly everyone was in the mid-low 80's. To give a comparison, in a 128 incursion prepatch, my wyvern parsed about 43% accuracy.


Also Fury matched better because it gave the sense you were invading the Velkk's holy grounds, like we were intruding. That song also was used in cutscenes when something was on the brink of catastrophe or something powerful was being released or called, and storyline-wise, the Velkk have an extremely powerful artifact hidden in their possession that has immeasurable power but they haven't figured out how to use it. So the song gave he impression of "invade the velkk/recover the artifact" even though the Velkk npc doesn't really mention it(the Velkk questlines with Exorcists and Black Thorn Coven do though).

The new music just reminds me of riding the airship from Tavnazia to Al'taieu.

[Karbuncle]

Old: music157 - Fury (used in cutscenes)
New: music170 - Buccaneers (pirate attack on the ferry)

Fury has the Memoria De La Stona chorus in it, or vice versa I forget which was first. Like so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5EgbPr50hY

I quite like Buccaneer's though.

ALso looking up that song made me think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwi-QOXtQGY - I miss this in my FFXI... and in my XIV , haven't been emotionally touched like that in a game in forever.
