June 2016 Version Update - Discussion & Findings

[Kensagaku]

Aw no, don't tell me that, I have three coalitions still that aren't even close to maxed out. XD I've got a long way to go if it offers another ring!

[kittycatrag]

monthly roe objective: do one intense ambushcade. plz. reward: 1 abdhaljs seal

flavor of the month: vermin

Antlion spawns multiple antlion/fly adds throughout the fight. adds keep going for our healer, but dd can pull them off.
main boss's Gravity pull has about 3 second chargeup, does 1k to dnc in aoe and sucks players in
buzzing fly has more eva than the others and has a move called Swarmsong
holding one pet and killing the others seems to prevent further spawns

SoA quest is in a new category: RoE Quests 2

Added some of the * screen rare/ex items like doom screen to total hallmarks

[Hitou]

Looks like antlions for Normal ambuscade this time. one white antlion and one horned antlion. Matsui and co died to it on the live feed a few min ago.

[Kensagaku]

Well Vermin kills should be easy enough, at least. Just step outside and murder all of Ceizak.

Wait, the live feed doesn't perma-afk forever in adoulin?!
I can't believe I actually saw them actually use the live feed for my first time ever a few minutes ago. I thought it was a forgotten feature of the site.

[Kensagaku]

Just a thought, the quest given this update is the Ygnas Directive 1... that might be why there's no listed reward, because it has sequels.

[Gasgul]

nvm

[dasva]

No new reward item for new quest. Potential to be a second adoulin ring that most people want.

"quest" does not appear in-game in the quest log, so its one of those mini quests.

What do you have to do for the quest?

[Sechs]

RDM isn't on this set, unfortunately.

On the other hand, BRD enfeebles get to tap twice at the +18 magic skill, having wind and singing skill, on top of the macc, so that's pretty huge.

Alas wind/string Don't convert 1:1 to macc like singing. It's more along the lines of 3:1 or something like that. Still pretty cool, likewise for the new legs.

Disappointed pet haste and attack got lost on feet.
Body is basically a mini zendik robe.
Such a shame sch isn't on marduk. Salvage jobs grouping has always been unfair imho, and of course SE is coherent in refusing to update that when they update gear.
Seen that pattern already with unity gear.

[Aumaan_Kujata]

So far it involves finding something that may or may not be somewhere in Adoulin or Rala, on vague information. Some npcs in town give quest-related dialogue, but probably optional. The initial cutscene just unlocks the RoE quest, which tells you to find the thing, and report back. (I'm being vague on the nouns because minor spoilers, but mostly just because it doesn't matter so far. I will say the first line of dialogue involves the term "Attache of Amour", so this isn't likely to be a "Hades is back OMG" type thing...) I'm not sure if the .dat mining has determined this is the only RoE, or if another is likely to unlock after this one is completed. The RoE reward is listed as 1000sparks/5000xp.

Now back to running around looking for new ???s.

[Sechs]

Forgot to mention: in addition to mdt, new set has loads of meva and mdb.
Really, I don't get while people are whining so much.
If anything I'd wine about the fact just 3 jobs can equip it our that there is basically no other gear until july...

There might be more to it than that?

Not sure what Februus is supposed to be (unless thats the horned antlion), and what the flies are for.

[Karn]

For the new roe quest talk to chalvava in rala waterways arboretum. Use entrance se of West adoulin mog

[NynJa]

Now back to running around looking for new ???s.

That might be a waste of time, I dont think any zones other than eastern adoulin and legion had their dats updated, unless I missed it. I went through all the files that were updated today up to 50KB and no other zones popped up there.

[Karn]

Looks like you get a hint if you're in the right zone. It'll say You can't shake the feeling that you may be able to learn about Ygnas' whereabouts somewhere in this area.

[catmato]

Really, I don't get while people are whining so much.

No accuracy for Hexa Strikes.

[Johnb]

Finished The Ygnas Directive 2 and only got 3k sparks and 5k limit points. No rewards. I think it's the last one too this update.

[Karn]

For Ygnas Directive 2, check mischief marker for cs then talk to Virsaint in West adoulin h-8 by fountain

[Lyramion]

Great need "Titillating Tomes" to start Yagnas Directive. Stopped leveling all my Moggardenshit at rank 4.

[Aumaan_Kujata]

One more note on Ygnas Directive- quest ends with a clear "Your services will be required again sometime soon." Looks like a framework for doing visits with various Adoulin personalities going forward. Not quite Serpent General/Freelancer quest tier, but in the same general concept ballpark. Not that I approve of the personalities they decided to start with, heh.
