So since the version update notes are up, I guess we'll go on to talking about that.
Ambuscade looks... interesting? Sort of? The fact that not only does the content change every month, but so does the rewards, sorta both excites me and puts me off. It makes it so that it's very limited-time drops that you can only get during that month. Still, gonna have to see what they get.
Not gonna lie, I almost wonder if with the augment system it will obsolete some Reisenjima gear. There are some nice possibilities for various situations, thanks to the fact that this is chosen and static augments. So you could do say, STR+20, Acc/Atk+20, and WSD+10% for a WS piece. Or DEX+20, Acc/Atk+20, STP+10 (or DW+10 to get all your DW in 1-2 slots) for a TP piece. Etc etc. It should be interesting.
15 minute respawns on dragons, well. It'd be nice if people actually killed them but hey, I might be able to chip one down slowly on my own at this rate!
Wardrobe 2, yesssss. All my yes. I do like the prioritizing on item loadouts too. That's pretty cool that it focuses on inventory/wardrobes first.
Anyone else not able to log in to POL? I'm getting an 0206 error as soon as I try to log in...
There is Playonline server maintenance during this update, which is unusual for version updates. http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/pol...ews24546.shtml
It is possible to download the update right now. Sabotage a file in your FFXI folder (i usually do ROM>0>0.DAT) by deleting it then run a check file within POL on FFXI. This will force a version update. Do it at your own risk. 871 total files.
Disclaimer: this usually erases all custom dat mods.
Ah go figure. I wonder what they're changing.
Updating wiki now, F5.
Kind of curious exactly what they mean by "* Only one property may be obtained per item." Assume they mean type of stone so you can get 3 slots but what if they mean just each item traded? Imagine that grind to max out all the relevant stats for you lol. Disappointed in the lack of dt augments and the rather small amount of pet ones though
Edit: Wait wut will the only augmentable things for ambuscade be capes this time around lol~!?!
I hope these aren't the only items in the update because holy fuck lol.
Taranus's Cape - DEF:15 Magic burst damage +5 "Mana Wall"+10% whelp now you've done SE. Mana wall tanking might become a thing
Job-specific capes are kinda cool, though. The BST one kinda makes me lol, like we need Reward gear still, but the Spur+ is interesting. PUP and SMN get pet Level +1 (Hello 122 Nirvana SMNs!). In fact, most of the capes look pretty good for their various jobs, with a few exceptions (Kick attacks, are they still relevant? ). And if the capes are augmentable well... can you imagine? Even if it's just the armor, I'm really excited for some of those pieces. Sulevia's Mask/+1 looks nice on paper, and if it's augmentable, I'm so going for STR+20, Acc/Atk+20, STP+10. >~> Feet scream WS piece too.
I'm going to go on a wild limb and say the Sulevia set is the crafted stuff they added this time and as such probably not augmentable. I'm guessing it's only capes this time... and maybe this whole items change month to month is like each month we get a different slot lol.
