This will probably fix the THF exploit on coins I hope or we get mad Inflation again ;;

Ehh still have to wait every 5mins...and only things you can hide against are gobs...and gobs are not an issue really when it comes to finding new spawn that havent been stolen from before. Bibiki Bay gobs are lucky if they survive longer then 5mins. Plus taking the time to pull them from their spawn radius is too much effort...adds 20-30sec to your time, and too much hastle. Hardly see it as something that needs to be nerfed. There's a surplus of Gold Coins now because every gilfarmer farms coffer mobs that can be stolen from.

Yagudo too if i remember correctly. but yeah if you're good at making gil via other methods, the Steal timer and Steal success rate doesn't make this such a great exploit.

Shit yeah...sorry Im not much of a Windy person...I hate everything on the East side of that continent... (ironically enough I live on the east side of USA.) I'm pretty sure Yags also do not detect by scent like orcs, correct me though if we're both wrong. Again though, if you're stealing from Yags, odds are you're also fighting NIN and BLM mobs, of which you'll be killing for rare spell drops...so on paper it seems rather broken, but in practice it hasnt changed much on how people go about their farming to begin with.

[divisortheory]

lol so much nonsense speculation in this thread. The only things that are -truly- broken is Diabolos blood pact timers. Everything else, regardless of how fucking retarded it is, is by design.

[Lyramion]

I use this evil exploit and let things close to zone despawn to save silent oil omg >>;

[Nagamaki]

The fact that the mobs that respawn are new mobs and not the same mob is broken, it goes directly against the wording of the update, there is no way you can possibly interpret it as anything but a bug/shitty implementation. Their code should be moving the mob back, but what obviously happens is the same as if the mob died (so NM lottery, level randomized, recovery of stealable item).

I made the same point on another forum. I think I got rated down for my unfettered use of logic.

alla? word.

[shihei]

Tonberry got gold, and only sight too. I'm skeptical if this is even true though because i think it is the same exact mob repopping if despawned. And gold sure as hell is not easy to steal consistently.

[NynJa]

I trained all of Despots placeholders to Ru'Avitau and zoned. The Groundskeepers all despawned, and Despot spawned.

When a mob gets pulled out of its radius and respawned, it is NOT the same mob.

its not the exact mob.

unless its the mob that levels up or down on the repop. try it for yourself.

Maybe they'll fix the new retarded "Find Members" tweak they thought was a good idea? Now we can see all the jobs EVERYWHERE!! But not really, since the list needs to be truncated everytime you use it. Fucking useless.

They probably won't change it

"-An issue involving the "Find members" function showing all jobs has been resolved, when used it will now show only Wars Nins Mnks Whms Rdms and Brds lfp"

the problum is more or less the removal of the level range, but it's moot /sea all inv xx~xx has been more effective for a long time.
