Version Update (12/08/08)

[Jonel]

Update seems "meh." New missions, Level Sync tweaks, and Jeuno Tax lifted.

Still no mention of increased Salvage drops in the update notes.

[Meian]

^pretty much what I am shooting at. Small things I know, but they needed to be fixed. Had they added something massive and it sucked there would be endless QQ'ing going on. It doesn't look like much on paper but I am glad they did it.

I would agree with this just wish the updates came sooner if it was more for fixes than actual new content. But rather wait and get it then not get it at all.

[The Blackrose]

Finding coffers was never generally a problem... apart from the FUCKING ELDIEME NECROPOLIS SODDING GATES. Now there's something they can do if they're looking to reduce AF-hunting annoyances since they already helped out Garbage a tonne with the flower warp thing... give me a fricken zapper to pop those goddamn gates.

Oh and the sky alternating Kirin/pot room porter - it's not cute guys, it's not funny.

Oh and the sky porters that are coded to switch off just as you step on them... I'd seriously do a quest to get them to stay on...

I'm ranting now.

Clearly you need the Clapper.

re: the gil introduction issue, do keep in mind that FoV will reward participants, and maybe it'll even be more than a pittance (lol).

[Fogo]

I am confused with all this "rage" because certain items being sold were nerfed like it is the end of the world. There are still plenty of ways to make gil without craft/HNM >>

People are too lazy to think of other ways?

Oh I can think of a ton of ways to make money, but the profit margin on them is so freakin minimal compared to the time spend doing them that they really turn me off (hi2u silver bullets).

[Octavious]

Don't hold your breath when they dropped Remedies price it went from like 3k to about 400 gil...

Yea, but iirc Black Ink only NPC's around 500 and the bloods average 350-560 depending on which you're farming. Idk, there's a multitude of the usual "things that should have been fixed" so it's not worth QQ'ing on that, but SE removes ### billion gil and nerfs any way to easily farm it for anyone else. I enjoy making profits from Crafting, but christ does it get boring. You can't even make decent bank out of KSNM/BCNM anymore unless you're incredibly lucky or do a shitton of runs.

[Kairos]

OMG yes

The fees incurred for storing all item sets and furnishings have been halved.

I can't even count how many times i've wondered how much gil per day i spend just switching jobs and taking out AF/Relic from the npc. I think i was spending something like 16k a day just on armor storage.

[Meian]

Name all the soloable NMs that drop items worth 100k or more.

They'd be overcamped (or ridiculous spawn timer)

The npc items weren't worth 100k. There are other items to sell to NPC if you really wanted to stick to that type of farming.

I agree on the KSNM and BCNM part, if SE is gonna make Kraken Clubs a 0.0000000000000001% drop on the goddamn BC, they should at least make beastmen's seals drop more often.

God I'm shitting the damned things... people run short of seals? This idea does not compute.

≪Dec. 9, 2008 (JST) Update Details≫

The introduction of the new "Moblin Maze Mongers" system originally scheduled for this version update has been delayed due to extension of the QA period. The specific release schedule will be announced on Topics as soon as it is decided.

Well...Fucking...Done.


'Extension of the QA period'? Are they delaying it because people have more questions about it!?

[Meian]

Haha I have like nearly 800 but thats because I have been a lazy lazy person with using them >>

Soloing yields so much of these especially when seeking + solo xping

me and my 1200 beastman seals along with the other 4000 ive used in the last 3 years agree with you. they should drop more often.

edit: thank fuck i can store them at the npc now! i was totally boned!

Yes.

There are tons and tons of ways to make money, but everyone wants to do the easy/known one.

[Zilong]

Quality Assurance

AKA: actually testing the damn thing

[Hyan]

Whiners will ignore me but... FoV will make gil. MMM will most likely make some gil (at least it's not going to take anything out of economy). Dynamis is great profit nowadays, same with limbo. They halved the costs to save sets.

[vivix]

At first, I was kinda pissed off at the lack of MMM.

Then I realized it is probably good for me, because of finals and grad school apps.

[The Blackrose]

Well...Fucking...Done.

I believe they broke it at Fan Fest. Hence QA failed.

[huckster]

yay for chocobos in the past!

LOL

[Guyverarmor]

Yes.

Hell, I make money off of crafting...in Smithing and Clothcraft to boot!
