Moogle Kupo'detat

[Spira]

im right before the last BC. parked right outside. watched the CS just before server down lol..

AMK afaik is a whole lot more entertaining than ACP, and even though its more quests that require you to run around, it does come with 'more content'. It's also generally more entertaining. More speech, more dialogue, more humor (you can never be too serious with moogles), better speech, better effects, better animation, everything is improved upon.

Whilst there are still fetch quests.. its less kill this kill that and some variety is added, especially with HELM stuff... it may be gimmicky but its a nice way of making people sit up and take note of zones more.

The Cardian battle was at least interesting. The strategy involved for the 4 orbs was nice. It also meant that groups that wanted to kill it in certain ways didn't have to camp certain types of cardians .

I liked the chocobo digging hot & cold thing. It's always been fun though this is my first time doing it in FFXI.

Sea Serpent Grotto. A nice way to revisit another old area. Also rewarding players who explored the area before (Sahagin Key quest, less running around that way).

Quicksand Caves wasn't so bad. Anyone whos been playing for a while should have map for dungeons, and this is a small way of rewarding people who bother to collect maps and stuff like that. Running around Altep was tiring but it did give variety to the quest without having everyone do the same thing, and under a nonsense time limit. It was casual friendly but 'challenging'. Also a challenge to know the zone well.

First BC fight was easy. King Cobra Clamp was a little surprising but like people mentioned, its not a hard BC. It does require only basic strategy which seems fair given that the fetch quest for the key item to enter the BC is tedious if repeated.

One thing I like about the missions added this update, both WotG and AMK is the addition of puzzle games and trivia quizzes. It seems like the Beaucedine puzzle is easy to solve once you know how, but took me 4 tries doing 50:50...

Trivia quiz in the Options challenge was kind of fun because if you paid attention to your adventurer appreciation report you'd be able to guesstimate some of the stuff. No real penalty for getting them wrong anyway so its all fun. (WotG trivia quizzes were way better tho, rewards people who care too much about the game/story/lore)

Lv1 challenge is easy. If you know the path to the Keep (like i did), you can pretty much go the whole way before Sneak/Vis wears (with quickening tho, Ragnarok had Swift Shoes). No real MGSing needed.

Find the moogle minigame was even easier. Its all on-the-way to the throne room stuff. Considering you'd have to walk the route to Throne Room no matter what, this mini-game seemed a bit redundant.

Not done the last battle yet.. but so far, its entertaining enough to be worth the $10, much more than ACP by far. It felt... long enough.

So does AMK also have the small key items you pick up along the way that you can later trade for a chance at augments like ACP or is it just the Helmet this time around?

[Spira]

small key items as well...
Peach Coral is the first one u naturally pick up on the way i beleive..

you can probably get something for trading the first 2 mission required stuff to the goblin

[Faithe]

Are those hats the rewards for this expansion? I couldn't find it anywhere. Are they like the armors from ACP?

[Kathea]

Congrats Kathea! we found it better for us to just not concern ourselves with babies on final form but I'm glad to see either way is workable, when we won Babies we're still slept they don't have to be killed

Ya, we wanted to be safe, this was our 3rd try. On our second we managed to get it to the last round of babies, boss managed to terror all the blms just as the adds woke and aga'd III us all.

and also yes you do get little key items alont the way like in ACP, got an hi elixer on the first key. A str + 2, Pet crit +1 neck on second key, A conserve MP +1 cape on the last key. Then i got my hat ^^wasnt sure which augments to choose though, ended up choosing INT +4 magg acc +2, Fastcast +2 INT+2.http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/u...721_180309.png

Yep some of the augments look sexy to.

[Faithe]

Oh? What are the base stats on those hats? And what arguments can you choose from this time? heh thanks.

[Deimos]

The update had 4 level 68 neckpieces with no stats, and 4 level 72 capes with no stats. I'd expect that everyone will get one random augmented neckpiece from the 2nd key, and one random augmented cape from the 3rd key. Perhaps the "type" of neckpiece/cape is dependent on your job when you open the chest? Going to need lots of data.

[Rocl]

They are on the Add-On's website, just like ACP, and have been for quite some time. >_>

[TacoTaru]

Anyone good stats besides that neck on page 7 or 8? I went back and browsed the thread but hadn't seen anything otherwise.

[Zumi]

Anyone have some pics of the final fight? I want to see what it looks like.

[Deimos]

Does the yag cock really exsist in giddeus? I killed like 40 mobs (the higher lvl ones) and got shit.

Caulkblocked.

[Gunitsoldier]

1/1 on Caulk , 1/2 on other two >_>

[Corrderio]

It does, but it has the worst drop rate IMO, I farmed mine in that big square room around H-14, competition came and went, but there wasn't that many people that actually stayed.

[Gunitsoldier]

Found it , fucking pain in the ass. ACP didnt piss me off this much but goddamn this is fucking annoying.

[Blaghna]

The caulk is a lie.

[Tomiko]

Maybe you just got to stroke the caulk out of hiding?


EDIT:

srsly though it does drop in giddus?

Like others said, it has the worst drop rate. I think I was there for an hour before I got mine.

So, what you're saying is that Giddeus is full of chicks?

[Esvedium]

Yes it sucks too. I just love and really want that caulk.

Is there a taste to the caulk? </crankyankers>

[Pawkeshup]

Is there a taste to the caulk? </crankyankers>

Considering this is SE, I'd say it tastes like Soya sauce...
