    Merit point changes

    Changes to Merit Points

    The maximum number of merit points a player may use in each adjustable status category will be increased in the next version update!

    The maximum number of usable merit points will increase in all categories in the following manner.

    Combo total and sub-categories:
    HP/MP
    Attributes
    Combat skills
    Magic skills
    Others

    Combo total only:
    Individual job categories

    With this adjustment, players may reach their maximum potential possible with the Chains of Promathia expansion disc.

    Furthermore, the FINAL FANTASY XI development team is already working to expand the merit point system for "Treasures of Aht Urhgan." Adjustments to make new magic spells and abilities available through the use of merit points are planned for the new expansion disc.

    More information will be released on the FINAL FANTASY XI main page as it is made available.

    ninja post: Can you say Critical Hit %+? and maybe now we'll get to get spells like Meteor ^-^ (With some luck they'll add Ultima :3 but that's farfetched..)

    Considering the way merit points work(1 activates every 10 levels) it probably will be something like that. Our best bet is that they'll expand the category maximums so you can have a total of say 14 in combat skill merits instead of 9.

    Even one more would be ok. Anything more is cool. If I can put 1-2 more merits into dagger and they give thf A+ (long shot ;; ) dagger I'd be so very happy.

    If I read this right they didn't add to the maximum in on JA merit? Just that you can merit in more than 1 of them with one capped? If so...SA recast down GOGOGOGO >.>

    Does this mean that they actually listening?

    The part I am most interested in is the New JAs and spells. I don't want to get my hopes up because....

    Before I say SE sucks, I'm going to give them props for adding spells and abilities through merit points. Thats the best idea ever.

    Now, to get those merit points, you'll need either a

    WAR
    MNK
    BLM
    BRD

    I don't have any of those, and there are so few xp camps, SE sucks.

    I have 54 merits as thf. Exp in sea is pretty nice. 6k+ hour is no sweat (without war, mnk or blm, too) and it's NEVER overcamped. I'm going to work on having 10 merits saved up to check out whatever possible changes are in effect for this update...

    [Experience Points][Party][Can i have it?]

    /sigh

    Man more combat skills is going to be so pimp. Current capped axe is 281+5 (beastly earring). Imagine if they raise it so much that you could break 300 in a combat skill O_o;

    NOW RECRUITING: SMN, WAR's, and BRD's to war party a lot... maybe some monk parties with a war tank? <.<;

    Good thing I didn't remove some of my merits.
