You have got to be kidding me. If this is true then all those wonderful single craft tier0s are future tier2s :/. Dusk+1 is the new amemet +1.

[Gwynplaine]

This was there before this patch.

Is this the kind of thing that's been around for ages or only a few updates? I've only gone out of my way to look for it because I noticed the Synergy ranks.

[Francisco]

Might not happen til June?

Even if that's the case, this will probably end profit crafting for the next 3-4 months.

If I read this right, it's a maximum craft skill of 160?

WTF I don't want to level 5 crafts from 100 > 160?!?!

And watch them allow you raise all subcrafts to 100. Have fun with that.

I'm not sure, but I definitely saw this when mining dats for Synergy stuff last month.

[Yabby]

Well that doesn't do anything much for goldsmithers... considering 90% of the "Good" HQ stuff is replaced by Rare/ex things.... HQing a brd JSE was the only thing worth money.

[Francisco]

Oh look, maintenance extended til 1 am EST.

[Shadida]

My over-under for the extensions is 2.5. Any takers? lol

HA HA HA HA HA Thank you SE

[Omniyoji]

it was to be expected

[Buffy]

Damn I hadn't thought of that yet....it means that despite their claims about magians keeping gear current, doesn't there haven't to be a whole near series of gear that is going to invalidate current gear?

IF they raise the sub craft cap and the main craft cap even just ten points, then everything just becomes tier 1.

Focusing just on clothcraft (my first and favorite craft), this makes mahatma body, zenith mitts +1, zenith pants +1, Kyudogi (sp?), Dalmatica +1, Blessed Trousers, Blessed mitts, mahatma cape all Tier 1, which means most serious players will save for the HQ, which becomes the common. And that's if they raise the cap only 10 points. What happens when it reaches 130/90?

So I think I'm on board with what some people already realized. SE is blowing up their own game, completely invalidating the accepted 'norms' of the last 3-5 years, and creating a new game in its place. Good times!

This is year 7 or 8 of FFXI since it came out. Has anyone else played another MMO that long? Is this what happens to a MMO at this point, it gets completely changed? Or is SE doing something radical in an attempt to keep players that may have gotten bored?

[Waku]

Let's not forget the 2~4 hour emergency maint about 5 hours after the servers come back up too!

[ronin sparthos]

All the bitching was that XI was getting stale, the same old shit was boring and that since XIV is on the horizon that SE should go for broke and make the game you know.... fucking fun.

Be careful what you wish for?

XI is dying, this is SEs way to give it it's final big bang before everyone switches to XIV. What did you expect?

How about lets have some fun, and get some gear that was near impossible to get before we all quit.

<SageSundi> Has anyone seen Remora? I put it down on the transfer pile here and now it's gone.

He was using Quetzalcoatl as a coaster for his big glass of sake, and accidentally spilled it.
