Update 9/20/2006

[miokomioko]

Prepare to experience the continuation of the Treasures of Aht Urhgan storyline, as well as numerous exciting new quests, in the upcoming version update!

Aht Urhgan Missions
In the continuation of the Treasures of Aht Urhgan storyline, new missions will be available that will reveal new monsters, new challenges, and the machinations of a certain famous Windurstian personage.

New Quests
Several new quests will be added that focus on the areas released with the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion disc. Some of these quests will utilize the Assault system, and introduce a new series of battles aboard the Ashu Talif.

These Assault-style quests will be unlocked for those who have progressed to a certain point in the Treasures of Aht Urhgan storyline (Aht Urhgan missions), regardless of mercenary rank. Gather your adventuring companions, and discover what new challenges lie ahead!

- Level Restrictions and Member Requirements
In the current Assault missions, it is possible to impose a voluntary level restriction on your mercenary party. However, the new quests based on the Assault system will all be unrestricted, with no option for setting level limits. Member requirements will remain the same, with 3 to 6 mercenaries required to undertake these quests.

- Rewards
Much like the current battlefields, a treasure chest will appear upon the completion of the quest, giving you the opportunity to obtain new and wondrous items.

son of a bitch it's shantoto

[Lordwafik]

So a mix between BCNM and assault, on a moving boat. Sounds fun!

[miokomioko]

My vote also goes to 'sounds fun.' The inside of that ship looks very... "Temenosy" to me. I don't know if that's a good thing.

P.S. Rewards? New job relic? Limbus-style item gathering for relic? Ingredients for new job JSE? Perhaps! (But probably not!)

[Not Kuno]

Wow that looks like a freaking cool zone. I love these pimp looking indoor zones.

[Lithiani]

The part of the ship BC I have seen (in the COR AF BC) looks awesome. Didn't get much of a chance to look around though, 4 75s make a mess of that BC fight.

And Yeah, more Shantotto craziness is always amusing.

I wanna get my butt kicked by Shantotto!

New Assault-style quests on Ashu Talif sound cool. check the pics on POL. I really hope they are chalenging and have GOOD USEFULL rewards. instead of more crap like lolhydra =(

[DeadLegend]

I love final fantasy XI with all my heart, soul, and penus.

Meanwhile it seems that shantotto is pulling a trion and trying to disguise herself with magnifying specs lol

No, it'll be even better.

Just watched that. That's actually pretty awesome. More Prishe "I'll beat the ever-living snot out of you" action. The laughing Shantoto does still freaks me out.

[Starr]

Now I wish I bothered to do the Aht Ughan missions, but maybe not if the rewards are crap (they will be datamined today I'm hoping).

[Kurp]

The update isn't until next month, so there won't be any datamining. But, it does give you a chance to get started on the missions.

[Starr]

Oh great, they'll probably announce loads more stuff within a month too.

[Xanoxonax]

Isn't that what they always do? SE is king of the dick tease, followed by a nice case of the blue balls.
