So are new items being added in today's patch?

[Septimus]

And "The Last Stand" if I remember correctly. (Or is that someplace else?)

[aers]

I can't find anymore .dat information that can be opened with notepad =P. I probably missed the .dat that has job abilities and job traits. Someone go find that, it'll have the new JAs added from the job balance.

If you have any idea how to parser these things all of the patch information is located in:

PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\ROM\162
PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\ROM\163
PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\ROM\164
PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\ROM\165
PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\ROM\166

gimme a word to search by and i'll look for it.

Modelwise, there isn't actually much in it. A couple of moblins and the puppet (165/88.dat). The puppet has an animation like Sneak Attack, some funny things like emotes and even a casting animation.

To view models I just go into the notepad files for the NPC list and and add "x-y," where x is the folder an y is the file. From there I enter the viewer and just scroll fairly fast. The only time consuming part is having to type out 1-127 once >_>

I'll leave you guys to deal with finding out most of the stuff, I don't really have the patience to go through and find new spells/job abilities, let alone the textures (well, I'll probably pursue some to have fun in the modelviewer ). Keep up the good work, and I hope to find some interesting stuff later on.

I can't seem to find COR, but new body armors so far:

Has anyone noticed alot of those new techniques we expect to be Blu spells say "Damage varies with TP"?

Does that mean.. they use MP, and the Blu Tp determines the damage? D;

It might be like avatar blood pacts that are more accurate with TP, or they may require TP and MP to perform. Either way, say good bye to Red Mages.

lame :/ old ass Koenig and adaman blow those out of the water, they look like fucking scrubs.

[Hirronimus]

We still have Refresh.

[aers]

Found text for just the help data when you select a command (ie in menu, there's text that displays at the top of the screen), only has added "Search for puppetmasters/corsairs/blue mages", "View list of blue magic", "Transfer items from Mog Locker to inventory".

Also of note was "Search for high end adventurers level 90-99." lol.

We still have Refresh.

What I mean is that a lot of people are going to trade in their pimp hats for turbans. (Me included.)

[epigram]

If you read the other thread, it appears that casting magic requires MP. So something like Plague would require MP. The other abilities seem to be TP based, so more likely you have the ability to use these skills if you have sufficient TP.

If 1000 needles is strictly TP based a BLU/NIN with k-club and maybe ridill could probably keep up with a WAR/NIN.

It looks like BLU is gonna be the catch all job,being able to specialize in tanking (alot of +hp +vit +def abilities), DD, or even just using deadly blu magic. Only thing it can't do is refresh.

It's a great idea, it seems to me for a BLU to be effective in a party, they have to junction the best abilities for the role they're filling. I didn't see alot of abilities that could make BLU a dedicated healer or refresher though.

COR actually looks like it could be the next refresh whore dedicated specifically for SMN's. Normally with PLD tanks, you look for RDM's... with ninja's you look for bards (or actually, strike that, any party looks for a bard >.>), and now smn burn parties or parties with smn main healing can pick up a COR for that all important mana battery slot.

I'll just say, i hope it breaks the mold of stereotypical parties . I know it probably won't change KRT parties for me, but leveling lowbies will be interesting again
