Lazy, so spoiler

Lovely. I don't mind the content, but I can envision the rage of some at the thought of having to raise monsters in order to get +4 stat.

[FaeQueenCory]

I listed my test a bit ago; they're exactly the same as before.

Thank the Lord Baby Jesus.
I was worried last night when I saw the new description that I'd make these for stuff like Rudra's and Fudo and then have to go make others for all my Xhit WSs...
Thank's for testing it that it's still the +25/256 ƒTP and not +WSdmg...
Lord only knows why they did this when the incursion helm has the bit number.

[Ophannus]

They said they readjusted some of the older gifts, can anyone notice a change? Jobs specializing in a trait seemed to get a big one at 210, drk attack bonus 23 instead of 15, pld def bonus+23 instead of 15. Hopefully drg,dnc,rng get 23 acc next round.

I tested wyvern breath job points, literally adds +10 per level; 100 at 10/10. Healing breath IV is gonna heal like 1700ish at 30/30...crazy.

It's safe to assume they meant skill gain rate and not actual skill+ for the babies, right?

For every job, the first four Capacity Points Bonuses were buffed from +5%/+5%/+5%/+5% to +5%/+7%/+9%/+11%.

[Snprphnx]

Im liking most of these

[Ophannus]

Also while testing I noticed what I hope is not, but probably is, a bug. Setting a single spell that gives 4 points toward a trait is fully unlocking the trait. For example, fantod with no other spells set gives Store TP. I did some more testing with accuracy bonus. The set breakdown used to be:

0 points: no trait
4 points: no trait
8 points: Tier I
12 points: Tier I
16 points: Tier II
20 points: Tier II
24 points: Tier III

With the new gift I'd expect it to be:

0 points: no trait
4 points: no trait
8 points: Tier II
12 points: Tier II
16 points: Tier III
20 points: Tier III
24 points: Tier IV

But what it actually does is:

0 points: no trait
4 points: Tier I
8 points: Tier II
12 points: Tier II
16 points: Tier III
20 points: Tier III
24 points: Tier IV

May be pretty nice to be able to set StoreTP with only 1 point.

I think it gives +1 to the tier, or system-wise +4 trait points to the trait. Since most spells upgrade with each +4 after the first 8 needed to unlock, this should give an extra tier to our most used traits. For melee dps blu, this may mean dw5,stp2(or stp1 but can save a point off fantod; though it gives good attributes for its set cost), accuracy bonus(+12 acc!), critical attack bonus(more cdc/HS damage), and FC.

Has anyone tested new m.acc with blue skill on hard shit like delve? Super curious if we should all accept our new blue mage stunner overlords. And new tourbillion pretty much invalidates the use of any other UL spell, cuz 45% attack for the entire alliance for 90s is like Angon+1.

Unbridled job points may hint at future UL spells coming that are more buff-oriented. Would be odd to create this job point for the 2 buff spells we have(Carcharian and Harden Shell; not counting Pyric Bulwark since that lasts like 5min already).

[Phraust]

Fotia Belt and Fotia Gorget work like they used to; they give +0.1 fTP, not +10% WSDMG.

Hate to beat the horse dead again, but is there any restrictions like "on day" or anything like that (old feather hat/athoes gloves/new gator helm). Or does the 'rainbow' gorget/belt work exactly like it use to?

The use of the words "latent effect" bugs me.

[Fwahm]

I did my testing with Infernal Scythe, a dark/water affiliated weaponskill, on earthsday. So no, there's no restriction.

[Phraust]

Awesome. Thank you.

[Ophannus]

Aurorastorm II and Chatoyant Staff is gonna make for some sweet SCH healing. +35% potency that surpasses cure cap. Not bad. Also a regen+12 duration body, sch made out like a bandit. Hopefully next update is tier6 nukes or tier2 helices

[scaevola]

The vendor prices of the following items have been lowered.
Great Boyahda Moss / Wisteria Lumber

see you at the crossroads

[Ophannus]

+110% CP bonus when gifts are capped with 50% CP mantle. Basically fulltime double CP for that job, though it won't mean much when they raise cap to 30 and it takes like 465 JP to cap a single category 30/30.

[Fival]

Having fun with VoidStorm 2, 3 step self SC on 124 Woh Rabbit:



Normal Darkness Mirror: 150%
Darkness Mirror with Voidstorm 2, ElementalObi, Twilight Cape, Pixie Hairpin +1, Archon Ring: 230%

My omniscience keep killing the rabbits on darksday before the skillchain can take affect, so i gave up trying to replicate it and went ahead to see how much omniscience does when buffed with my GEO mule, AM2, darksday, and voidstorm 2.

Malaise everything!

[Lyramion]

For Yorcia Skirmish:

- Got a pink acuex in one run with 3 stone drops. One was a Duskorb+2.
- Got the Butterfly CS and Megaboss. Mechanics dont change. The boss sits dormant and spawns mobs you have to towerdefense with your minions. However once something tuoches the Megaboss he will awaken and start plowing through everything. Lost our pop to it because we engaged it too early.[EDIT: Failed a 2nd run. have to get to the elementals quickly. They are past boss and then North]
- Got a Mellidopt Wing in 1 of my runs that I dont know what to do with yet. Lola wont take it. [EDIT: From FFXIAH > ??? in Yorica at Skirmish device. Click it for CS then trade.]

[Podginator]

Anything major regarding automaton WS buffs?

Would like to know this too. Specially for cannibal and magic mortar. And how are the new attachments?

[Ophannus]

Ebullience+Blizzard VI with Hailstorm II is gonna be so good
