Version Update Details (9/8/08)

[Toth]

Pantin is the french word for puppet.

Pantin/marionette are french

Ah, thank you. This is going to be such fun.

[A-Chaos]

The combat skill required to learn the first weapon skill for each weapon type has been lowered from 10 to 5.

wut.

BLU AF2 is called "Mirage" apparel...not bad..

Reverse Flourish and Building Flourish merits = awesome.

The potency and frequency of special attacks for certain monsters in the following families has been adjusted using a low-level standard. PCs at lower levels will now find these monsters easier to fight:
Mandragora / Funguars / Crawlers / Lizards

and

The levels of certain monsters in the following areas have been adjusted:
West Ronfaure / East Ronfaure / La Theine Plateau / Valkurm Dunes / Jugner Forest / Batallia Downs / North Gustaberg / South Gustaberg / Konschtat Highlands / Pashhow Marshlands / Rolanberry Fields / West Sarutabaruta / East Sarutabaruta / Tahrongi Canyon / Buburimu Peninsula / Meriphataud Mountains / Sauromugue Champaign / Qufim Island / Behemoth's Dominion

Making it easier for low levels to level / use level sync to encourage various areas. No more worrying about Plaguebreath/Baleful Gaze(which is a wtf move at low levels to be hit with ANYHOW) when leveling lower jobs!


The HP of the following monsters in areas introduced since the release of the Treasures of Aht Uhrgan expansion have been adjusted:
Mamool Ja's Lizard / Mamool Ja's Raptor / Fomor's Bats / Goblin's Bat / Goblin's Bee / Goblin's Beetle / Goblin's Crawler / Goblin's Rarab / Goblin's Dragonfly / Goblin's Ladybug / Gigas's Tiger

Possibly making pets more viable OR making them more dangerous.

The above attributes will be adjusted to the level of the character after the level restriction is in place, while all other attributes will become invalid. Also, negative attributes will not be adjusted, but will retain the same value.

Looks like wearing your scaled down hecatomb harness will -still suck-.

Lol'd at this as hard as I did at 2 hours to beat AV and Pandy Warden. Those must be SOME NERFS coming for those two.


Can't wait for the DAT's! :3

[Jkun]

lol, amazing update notes are amazing.

I take it this AV/PW changes are this month's surprise!

[Infini]

LoL at AV/PW
Jailer of Lol: Now with guaranteed Absolute Asshand!
Pets: Only mentions pets for AU/WotG areas and Hopefully theyve adjusted their HP to match pets in the old zones, Kinda silly to have the pets with HP similar to the master.
Lvl sync: hope it doesnt stop ya from gettin merits at restricted lvls.

[Tricen]

Woo time for class. This'll be page 25 with people still quoting the AV/PW thing like it's new.

[Xno Kappa]

I know someone here called out the AV/PW changes lol, thought that was pretty funny lmao.

[xopher]

...can be found at a URL nobody on the public Internet can read.

GG Square Enix.

Cutriss go back to sows :O

srsly I haven't seen you in forever.

[terranova]

I'm gonna merit max sublimation and grimoir recast.

[Thiefami]

no new avatars **WOMP WOMP**

still excited about the update though lv synch GO!

[Albatross]

Nothing mentioned about giving SCH access to any end game gear like morrigan's/zenith/nashira . sadness

[Faithe]

Wait, Dancer only gets 4 merits?

Dancer
Step Accuracy
Haste Samba Effect
Reverse Flourish Effect
Building Flourish



If building flourish gives more finishing moves then wow.

Reverse Flourish giving 150TP would be awesome.

[Zumi]

Maybe the changes to AV/PW actually make it killable in less then 2 hours.

[hardlined]

appears to be the real url.

[Orchyre]

Pretty sure the update is up, downloading 2083 files right now (had a few gui changes, but not 2083 files worth)

[Max™]

Wow, if they went through and removed all the haste/eva and whatnot without removing the negative effects, there WILL be some interestingly broken items somewhere.

All in all pretty interesting, the pet thing will be really nice for merits at MJSP camping in the skoffins, dropping mamool raptors in a couple of crits for full exp = wtf.

[Faithe]

Download is up? Fuck ya!

[Rhealana]

Q.Q THIS UPDATE FAILS!

The additional effect status icon does not properly display after executing the weapon skill "Geirskogul" while using the relic weapon "Gungnir."

P.S. Yes, I'm being dumb.

[Lordwafik]

also opens up a ton of BLM and SCH camps for those levels , as well as duo exp for melee/sync

[MaachaQ]

* Progress data within Nyzul Isle will no longer be erased following the completion of the 100th floor objective. As a trade-off for this change, however, the drop rate for armor has been reduced and is no longer 100%.

Dammit, I knew this was coming... my 96~ disc is now basically worthless... we could have had the 100% hat today, but SE screwed us on floors and half my static members weren't there... We brought a few people who'd done very little Nyzul to fill out the pt, and getting Cassie and Dahaks just screwed us over majorly...

Guess I get to climb with the other static members for a few weeks before we go try 100 again (unless we use the other person's 100 disc/runic key, which we DID wipe Thursday... would have wiped both if we'd known the update would be Monday >.>)

[ronin sparthos]

Aw shit, i just realized they didnt mention anything about new ranks.

Means either body pieces didnt make the cut or they are being sold at the Wings rank....
