Those armor sets look awesome

^ this x 10k.

You know, looking at the Aeonic WS text, I have a really bad feeling about this. I hate to say it, but the way the text is written has a very mythic feel to it and each bonus may be TP dependent.

100-199% TP - Increase Skillchain Potency
200-299% TP - Increase Magic Burst Potency
300% - Ultimate Skillchain

I'd love for the above not to be the case and that you simply use the merited WS to gain the aftermath effect which grants the bonuses to any WS used while aftermath is active, but knowing SE, it's going to be what I listed above.

[Byrthnoth]

Seconded, and I bet the 500 TP bonus won't affect aftermath level.

On a different note:

The "Feast Most Dire" event is fairly simple. You don a Wyrmking suit, and go and fight a Wyrm, alongside some Moogles. In Sarutabaruta, it's Tiamath, but it could change in different zones.
It's basically a giant reive/Domain Invasion. There's about five minutes of fighting, where you can fight, cure and nuke the wyrm, before the moogles finish it off.
You get evaluations as the fights go on, and can average about 500 points a fight.
+1 suit is 500 for head, 500 for body. 99 fireworks for 200 points. Kupofried for 1000.

Once you've got the +1 suit (both parts), you get the ability to buy "Invitation to a feast most dire" for 800.
Kupofried says it's where a "malignant monstrosity awaits", and it's in one of the three BCNM areas by the cities.

Bought the KI but not doing the fight yet.

[Sechs]

and it's in one of the three BCNM areas by the cities.

Wow, looks interesting.
Please keep us updated on this BC fight.

If it's something cool I'm gonna do this event for sure, otherwise I'll be content with the NQ suit and spend my time farming CP lol

[dasva]

My guess is it might drop the new ra/ex furnishes which I'd guess give the new xp/cp boost moghancements

100 merit points gives you a list of items to collect for points to buy stuff with at the new goblin npcs at portal 8 after missions done.

initially you can buy scroll of Arise and Meteor for 10k points (new system) each.

Items to collect are:
Crystal Petrifact x99 (1 point?)
Abdhaljs's Honor x12 (1 point?)
Balrahn's Eyepatch x1 (1 point?)
Ancient Beastcoin x99 (1 point?)
Simian Horn x12 (1 point?)
Pulchridopt Wing x12 (1 point?)
Airlixir +1 x24 (1 point?)

Not dealing with the 50k beads NPC yet which holds malformed KI.

[Byrthnoth]

Of that list, Ancient Beastcoins are the easiest to farm by far. You can withdraw Crystal Petrifacts and see what happens if you turn in a few, though.

PS. Where is this goblin?

[Johnb]

You get the Scintillant KI after mission completion which allows you to warp to portal #8 not on the map of Reisenjima. Just two goblins there.

[Spira]

beat RoV, go to those ingress telepoint things. use the KI to tele to #8

[Byrthnoth]

Thanks! As far as other random waypoints, you can get Waypoint 9 by running down the river with Frogs to the end (from Waypoint #5) and warping to the new area. It just has a bunch of ??? points for spawning NMs.

Going through Temprix's dialogue, I get offered the Malformed Dagger for 50k beads.

the aeonic base weapon offered is dependent on your main job.

[Johnb]

So the first NPC seems to work in tiers. x99 crystal petrifacts trade allows you to buy VW items (Voidwatch Goodness 1) such as Fazheluo Mail, Cuahtli Harness, Hyksos Robe, Ocelemoh Harness, Nefer Kalasiris, Mekira Toshugai, Bizen-osafune, Gibbous Axe, Swiftwing, Lux Pugio, Supernal Knife, Hoarfrost Blade, Drakaina Lance for 500 points each.

My companion traded x12 airlixir+1 and it went up to x24 for the next. He said he could buy Delve shards. Maybe you get points through merits I don't know.

Each of the initial items seems to correspond to a different event like Legion, Skirmish, VW, etc.

Please can someone .dat mine the NPC text for both of them.

[dasva]

So can unlock a lot of stuff to buy for points but haven't figured out how to get the points themselves yet? Maybe killing nms?

[Voyage1970]

Didn't someone mention that the goblin can hold up to a hundred million merits or something?

For the goblin NPC Temprix, it seems that what shows up for 50k bead cost is dependent on which job you are on. Malformed axe for me on BST and malformed sword for BLU. Emperox says he holds 100,000,000 merit points max. It takes 100 merit points to see what he has for you to collect.

From the Rhapsody Thread. Seems like the only reason to be able to hold that many merits points is if they were used as a currency.

The person I'm with says it is merits. 1pt / potpourri = 1 merit, so 500 merits to buy those VW items.

First Limbus trade for 99 beastcoins gives AF+1 materials, 2nd is arch omega/ultima parts (no proto-omega/ultima). The level doesn't go up any higher after that. 500 potpourri for first rewards, 5k for second.

5000 merits for an arch omega/ultima part is stupid SE.

[vm0d]

well... something interesting to use merits on. lol

[Byrthnoth]

Hmm... I thought that you could withdraw Crystal Petrifacts but now I can't figure out how to do it. Oh well!

[S N K]

The movement of the front right legs of beetles has been increased.

FFXI can finally end peacefully.

I just noticed that too. Fucking Devs I swear lol

[Kenshi]

After completing the new adoulin quest, I got 2 rewards from reja, first she puts the kinetic units to max (50k) and second gives Golden Shovel Cordon and 100k bayld. I have all coalitions to legend, all adoulin missions done and all adoulin quest done except the run and geo armor ones. Didn't finished RoV missions.

The KI reduces the time of imprimaturs probably to 270mins but need to check it. (my next imprimatur will be rdy in 217 mins)
