the four Mamool Ja overlords

OH JUST FUCKING GREAT. FOUR GULOOL JA JAS IN MY AL ZAHBI.

[Zumi]

Whats funny is I suggested that relic armor storage thing about 6 months ago in the POL suggestion page. I am guessing some other people did too. Maybe they actually do read that stuff.

I think people have been suggesting that since not long after Dynamis came out, before people even had full sets. lol

And, while "relic-level" armor may mean JSE and high level sets, AF2 is also "relic-level" armor so I'm sure that has a good chance of being included, no matter how they interpret it.

the four Mamool Ja overlords

OH JUST FUCKING GREAT. FOUR GULOOL JA JAS IN MY AL ZAHBI.

Do not fret, we have already met 2 overlords: Strifelord Bakool Ja (Mamool Ja fighter/warrior overlord) and Sagelord Molaal Ja (Mamool Ja mage/sage overlord). The third would probably be a Sahagin NM, and the fourth might possibly be a Poroggo NM, unless Gulool Ja Ja is (are?) an overlord. But I think they are just chimera freaks.

On a side-note, I am going to predict some of the mission battles:
A battle in the Jade Sepulcher vs. Gulool Ja Ja (with the 4 overlords as their "pets")
and
A battle in Talacca Cove vs. Odin (with Razfahd as an ally?)

Never know Alma, might open the door for Alexander's introduction to the game as a countermeasure =P

A battle in Talacca Cove vs. Odin (with Razfahd as an ally?)

Interesting prediction, but it's incomplete~ new avatar?

[Khamsin]

Wouldn't the other 2 overlords be Mamool Ja, as well? Doesn't make sense to have a Poroggo and Sahagin overlord ruling the Mamool Ja, even if they do share a home.

Level 7 Besieged: Al Zahbi is under attack by all 3 beastman force, activate the Alzadaal Ruins!

[Akiyama]

That would actually be kinda awesome.

Wouldn't the other 2 overlords be Mamool Ja, as well? Doesn't make sense to have a Poroggo and Sahagin overlord ruling the Mamool Ja, even if they do share a home.

The official description mentions an overlord for all 4 classes. The Mamool Ja "aquatics" are more likely than not Sahagin, as Sahagin in Mamook have "Mamool Ja" in their name. Poroggos, not sure if they're the knight class mentioned, but they're the only things I can think of.

I also got another battle idea:
Battle in the area you do tier 2 Ashu Talif Assault quest (and the final battle, not added in this update, would be in the area you do Targetting the Captain, or are these the same places?)

All tiers take place in the same area, only tier 1 is only on deck, tier 2 allows you below deck, and tier 3 unlocks the Great cabin.

As for Mamool Ja Frogmen, I'll give you that. But there's nothing suggesting that a Poroggo might be an overlord. That seems more like a stretch of the imagination that just assumes all beastmen types will be represented in the overlords, rather than just 3 Mamool and 1 Sahagin.

[Almalexia]

Level 7 Besieged: Al Zahbi is under attack by all 3 beastman force, activate Apathy Overdrive and skill up all weapons with a cap of 215. Gadalar dies, Najelith dies, Zazarg dies, Mihli dies, Rughadjeen dies in that order. Hall of Binding bursts open, players crowd the Astral Plinth to take screenshots of themselves in front of the Astral Plinth to compliment their other screenshots taken in front of the same Astral Plinth last week. Players take screenshots of new monsters/NMs featured in Lv.7 attack, but an older monster will end up seizing the Astral Candescence just because life is funny like that. I call everyone in the zone a blithering faggot. /headdesk.

I assemble crew of the unwilling to go into beastmen stronghold to recover AC. Japanese group recovers AC moments before my group reaches the battlefield entrance, since we spent upwards of 3 hours farming the necessary items to enter the battlefield (lord knows how the JPs got items so soon). I lie, telling everyone we were successful in recovering the AC anyway so that I can reserve the right to call everyone in Al Zahbi a blithering faggot next time the AC is taken.

Fixed to accurately predict what will happen on day 1 of patch.

So I guess my idea of 2 more battles in the ship makes more sense?

As for Poroggos, yeah they were more of a guess than anything. But ever since they were discovered, they are appearing all over the place with Mamool Ja (Besieged and Salvage). It's like after you find out a character in something is really a robot in disguise, they make all kinds of robot noises.

[Lordender]

I am probably one of the biggest update critics but some of those things sound nice, I hope it continues to look positive.

I would assume Gulool Ja Ja is the Autriach of the Mamool Ja (their new leader according the ToAU apge) that they just recently installed or something to that effect >.>

and I hope to god Razfahd isn't my ally- I don't like him one bit

[Vobent]

Razfahd seems like a double-sided coin
Good to Aphmau, who is most probably good.
The empress's master. Seems like he's controlling her, angry when she does things that he doesn't want her to do.

Hard to say right now.

[Sagacious Sundi]

I also think he/they is/are the Autarch. I also think they are some chimera that took control of the Mamool Ja by force and want revenge on the Empire.

and I hope to god Razfahd isn't my ally- I don't like him one bit

How about Razfahd as the enemy and Odin as your ally? >_>

I left the game a couple months ago...

Then stop posting because an update to a game you dont even play doesnt appease you.

agreed, if your not playing the game actively because you quit, dont fucking bitch about it with the rest of us who want to play. If you had to quit but didnt want to and will return as soon as you are able, post away.

Im tired of all the negative fuckers who quit but refuse to find another board to post on with something that matches their ideas or current games.

obviously make a section, "I hate FFXI now" forum.

They did, it's http://www.theorderls.com.

[Lysithea]

yea but will you only be able to store full sets of "relic level armor" or could you just store 1 piece at a time, and if its relic level does it mean:

Homam/Nashira
AF1+1 AF2+1 "Any other gear that is 75 and rare/ex"
God Gear

[Sagacious Sundi]

Remember how most versions of the Salvage info said Imperial Standing credits for a few days? Yeah, so until further confirmation, I'm interpreting it as relic gear. But it might also mean Shijen/Homam/Nashira/Salvage (someone think of a prettier name here) and possibly JSE.
