Mission Info:
Trusts are able to be used in all of these BCs, possibly up until the final BC.

1. Levil
2. Castle Gates NPC
3. W Adoulin waterfront - Sunrise Beacon (or something, the lighthouse)
4. Mt. Kamihr
5. Leafallia -> aged Stump. get 2 ki for battlefields. (HP in Leafallia now)
6. branches into 2 paths.

Cirdas k-11 - wavering flux for cs and then battlefield fight.
KI for this one is sun yellow pone - probably needed for reentry. bc ends if tiger dies.

H-6 for Yorcia. Both seem to be fairly simple fights, duoed as Sch and Geo. After both fights are done, you get a CS when zoning back into Leafallia.

Next stop the Ra'kaznar Turris. Quickest way here is porting to Biv 2 in Yorcia, run a bit NE > S to I-10 and using the crystal there. This will port you to the 2nd map of Cirdas. Run to the northern side, hit that crystal, and you'll end up in Ra'kaznar Inner Court, right outside of the elevator to the Turris.

Next back to Mt. Kamihr.

Next stop, Rala Waterways M-6 for a BC. Not a very dangerous fight, but lots of HP (compared to what we've been fighting all throughout SoA missions), and can be very annoying with Absorb spells. Easily duoed Sch + Geo with some time, destroyed by an over geared DD buffed party. Imagine it's soloable on some jobs.

Back to the Turris. 2x BCs that are separated. Only notable thing I can list on the first one is at 20% he does a full AoE dispel. Some other random status effects that were inconsequential. 2nd BC has an AoE petrify TP move but I couldn't say which.

Walk into Western Adoulin from Ceizak Battlegrounds, D2ing won't trigger the entry CS.

Next check Eastern Adoulin's Castle Gates.

Walk out to Ceizak Battlegrounds from Western Adoulin. Possibly a game day wait here, waited a day to check the gates to no avail.

Check the Eastern Adoulin Castle Gates to claim your rewards, ring, body, hands, and 1k exp! ._.

The end?

Unity Info:

All Unity RoE's are Daily quests. Didn't get to complete any other than talking twice and HP, so not sure if other more specific ones change each day or not. Enjoy the chat spam when it ticks over to JP midnight and unity chat is spammed by people doing the talk 2x RoE.

SoA NM Info:
The crystal formations in many outdoor areas now port you to the 2nd map of the Gates areas that were added. No sightings of NMs here yet, but useful for missions and the areas look to be very viable CP party camps.

Ceizak - F/G-10/11 - Sih Gates Map 2 - Ra'Kaznar Inner Map 1 M-13

Marjami - F-11 - Woh Gates Map 2 - Ra'Kaznar Inner Map 1 C/D-7/8

Yorcia - I-10 - Cirdas Caverns Map 2 - Ra'Kaznar Inner Map 2 J-8 (By the lift down to Turris)

Foret - H-11 - Dho Gates Map 2 - Ra'Kaznar Inner Map ? ?-?

Morimar - H-5 - Moh Gates Map 2 - Ra'Kaznar Inner Map ? ?-?

So for those of you that missed I they change the job adjustment of making ready not cost tp to getting a job ability that makes ready not cost tp <.<

Also some interesting resolved issues like "The issue wherein Cherukiki's alter ego would not cast haste while in combat with a foe having excessively high fire resistance." spaghetti ftw.

"The issue with the alter egos of Nashmeira and Karaha-Baruha wherein they would not cast Esuna on party members who were under the effect of petrification as their sole status ailment" I assume they mean stona because that makes no sense.

"The issue wherein the "Pet:" effects ofaugments would not apply to luopans." geos rejoice and make your pet regen sets!

[Draylo]

That last one some people said that Isa belt wasn't working, wonder if it will now.

[Vanderleest]

Curious how many people will choose the Vocane ring before they fix the help text and need to spend 300k to replace, assuming they even notice it's not doing DT II

Known issue:

The help text for the Vocane ring erroneously reads "Damage taken II -3%" instead of "Damage taken -7%."

[Hitou]

So for those of you that missed I they change the job adjustment of making ready not cost tp to getting a job ability that makes ready not cost tp <.<

It's just a typo, it says the job ability "read" instead of "ready" The only thing they changed was the wording for TP moves that are effected by TP. Now it says they're still effected by TP whereas before it made it sound like you still needed TP for them. So yeah ready just needs charges and moves that have potency based on TP or whatever are still effected by how much your pet has at the time.

[Phillymoool]

i think the "Read" is a typoand its supposed to say Ready.

if it was a new JA then it would have a job level and recast timer. I think

[dasva]

Yeah probably right. This update notes is just chalk full of typos

[Classikmage]

The update notes must have been typed out by a drunk intern.

Than again, whenever I think of FFXI's dev team, I think of that one South Park episode that portrayed the Family Guy writing staff as a pack of dolphins, lol.

honestly saw that and hoped they meant Hades, but then i read the next line. :/

[NynJa]

When the ninja job trait Daken activates while battling with unwavering ironclads in skirmishes taking place in Outer Ra'Kaznar [U], special abilities other than Turbine Cyclone are activated.

Daken = magic somehow (afaik, any magic damage unlocks the shittier moves)

Pass me that spaghetti pls

[Ophannus]

It's like the NA translator gets the update notes 10min before us and hurriedly tries to get it out as fast as possible and makes glaring errors.

[Spira]
