November 2015 Version Update - *DISCUSSION THREAD*

[Capuchin]

I got the first Rhapsody item, and didn't see anything new of note... maybe some food or ammo or something minor. There's also a KI category, but it was completely empty.

By chance did they add Remedies or Super Reraisers to medicines?

Pre-update, remedy is the one thing I constantly have to restock elsewhere. And Rhapsodies chapters 1/2 gave Reraiser/Hi Reraiser, wondering if the trend continued. I like to use RR meds/scrolls, so holding another form would be cool.

Casting healing magic/enhancing magic on trusts crashes timers and GS does not function properly with precast/midcast sets.

I didn't see this posted, forgive me if it's already been covered. Pretty basic, really.

Vegetable Vegetable Frustration:

Spoiler: show

Finish Cid's Secret and The Usual Bastok quests.
Inventor's Coalition - > Amchuchu's Labratory (door) CS
Raibaht in Metalworks CS
G-8 in Palborough Mines (third floor, I walked from the HP near the BC entrance)
Bang on the rock three times, then think
Raibaht in Metalworks CS
Western Adoulin Waterfront - Contemplation Site I-5 CS
Trade a Sabiki Rig to the Contemplation Site
G-8 in Palborough Mines
Fight against Incensed Pineapple (bomb-type enemy, casts Firaga III, Blaze Spikes and Self Destructs at low HP... though it died before the move went off)
Check Fissue for another CS
Raibaht in Metalworks CS
Western Adoulin Waterfront - Contemplation Site I-5 CS for reward of 2k Bayld
Inventor's Coalition - > Amchuchu's Labratory (door) CS for reward of Midras's helm +1

Also, I ended up needing to do both this quest and the new Mog Garden quest to get new rewards in the library. First reward was 20k kinetic units and 30k bayld, second was 100k bayld and Golden Shovel KI.

EDIT: Thanks Sechs, goofed on title :-p

Has anyone got a clue as to who/what the "Tumult Curator" is? Looks to be a fourth Unity Wanted NM coffer in the Dats, but have seen no mention of it elsewhere.

Crisis was the previous one.
Thanks though! Came here asking for guidance, your post has been very useful.

[Khiinroye]

For vegetable vegetable frustration: If the bomb self destructs, you fail and have to do the fight again. It seemed that dispelling it kept it from trying to self destruct until it was at 1%. I had it self destruct at around 80% or so, but even so, the damage is negligible. Stuns didn't work on it.

Damn Koru-moru slacking on dispels.

[Sechs]

G-8 of which map in Palborough Mines?
Can't find anything atm


Edit: third and last map of Palborough, found it!

It's most likely Pandemonium Warden. I'm guessing it appears in your RoE list after you beat the other 3.
EDIT: Can confirm there are 3 sets of Tumult Curator x13 + Tumult Lamp x39 in the Aydeewa .dats.

[Byrthnoth]

As far as merits go:
Max merits cost continues up to 45, where it stays until the level 27 upgrade (which costs 48). I imagine it's going to keep creeping up from here.

[Ihina]

I'm guessing no signs of any rem update this update

Any signs of Ultima? Don't need to spoil it too much if they snuck it into the storyline

[The Assman]

Port Bastok Home Point #2 (M) didn't change despite what the notes said. I don't see what's different about Ru'Aun #3/#4, but you do have to re-register them. Ifrit Survival Guide is from the other Yhoator entrance (not the Escape/Voidwatch one). Halvung Survival Guide is by the Bhaflau (map 1) entrance. Caedaerva Survival Guide is between Nuhn and the Experimental Lamia. All the other changed/new HPs/Guides are what you'd expect.

[Atomic Skull]

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

FFXI can finally end peacefully.

I assume they finally fixed the backwards foot on beetles that has existed since the game's inception.


SE said they would be adjusting RME when Aeonics were released, have they done that?

[Atomic Skull]

I didn't see anything in the notes regarding "adjustments to Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean weapons". I wonder if they're saving that for when aeonic weapons are attainable?

Will be funny if the "materials" to make an Aeonic are one each of RME, it'd keep the content relevant at least.

I see they finally supported Xinput controllers. Anyone know if you can use the trigger sliders on an Xbox 360 controller as buttons now? I'd like to know for sure before I go to the trouble of removing the XBCD drivers because getting them working again after an uninstall is a pain in the ass.

[Ihina]

A weapons aren't strong enough to warrant requiring RMEs to complete them..

Damn Koru-moru slacking on dispels.

Stuns seemed to be working actually (from Zeid II and Mumor) but despite having me spamming Finale and Koru-Moru + Arciela spamming dispel, I still failed, 3 times.
Any more hints for this fight?
It's not that I die or anything, he just self destruct and it fails.

[Cowardlybabooon]

My guess would be that they are going to add RME upgrades when they allow you to actually complete the Aeonic quest in a future update.

I would also guess that this new merit point system is going to have a lot to do with upgrading your Aeonic weapon.

Too bad they F'd up the mage Aeonic weapons by forgetting again that we like to have relevant stats on our weapons and don't typically find ourselves meleeing. On the bright side, if we hang out with melee who have them we can magic burst their new skillchains.

[The Assman]

Not to mention you'd get weird stuff like DRK not being on Aeonic G.Sword despite being on 2/3 of the components.

[Kyreth]

The VERY first thing you see upon entering Reisenjima is a beetle with a fixed foot. I can't make this up.

That's how you knew the End Was Near.

Miracles happen and the beetles shall be healed!

[Rehn]

Are people getting any good chains out of the exp/CP PLUS thing?

Seriously, what setup did you guys use to solo this?
Tried 6 times with 6 different jobs/setups.
Best I did was 2% health...


Edit:
Ok, similar setup to 6th attempt, made it with the 7th attempt.
NIN main (any strong/fast DD with shadows work).
Koru Moru
Arciela
King of Hearts
Apururu
Ulmia

Go all out with damage and hope the 3 RDMs will manage to dispel all of the times...
