FFXI Version Update (6/21/10)

[Niiro]

Possibly to prevent people from getting huge bonuses to attack acc as levels rise etc?

Almost all foods have a cap already, and aside from stuff like red curry (which is so expensive almost no one uses it) we already hit most of them anyway.

[Vegetatheprince]

You know...for a game that is supposedly at 'the end of its life', the amount of content from this plus the next two updates is pretty overwhelming.

I'm kind of underwhelmed.

* Abyssea is a 2x/week event zone.
* EVERYONE is going to be leveling multiple jobs and the only new camps are CoP areas apparently.
* WotG is one update from completion and then probably add-ons from here on?
* No notes about level restrictions being added means things like salvage will probably become too easy.

There is new content like JAs and spells but, at least at first glance, it seems like little new to use it on.

[Kalasin]

97 dmg GK... Holy Fuck!

These will probably be the result of another trial of all those high damage weapons from Magian, since relics are getting at least another trial to maintain the best of its type.

[Jkun]

They'll most likely drop in Abyssea and you trade them to the Magian moogle for upgrades.

Didn't they just add new T5 and T6 VNM mobs?

Yeah, go kill 6 of those godtier fuckers on Lightsday during Full Moon. Then you can have your Abyssea weapon.

[Deathbringer]

to be fair, it does look like an ice cream cone

with eyes

[Baelorn]

* No notes about level restrictions being added means things like salvage will probably become too easy.

The whole point of the level cap raise was to make old content easier for smaller groups.

[Draylo]

A cap has been placed upon status enhancements granted by certain food items.

Noone else notice that? Incoming food nerf? Wonder what foods will be effected.

Pizza of course.

[Destinye]

So uh..no one cares about that current food will be capped @ level 75 and nothing better will likely come out? Only about a job that can do pretty much everything else still being 'nerfed'?

o.O I mean people bitch about everything you'd assume someone would have bitched about food being capped @ level 75 (since food buffs ends at 75 basically)...but I do guess its probably on useless food items but it is SE.

[Alkar]

The weapons are listed in the add-on page, why would they drop from VNMs?
The trials could involve VNMs but I'm quite sure they'll be Abyssea exclusive for the most part to make this even harder.

[Mrbeansman]

Lets not forget that this new limit break quest has serious potential to fuck people over.

[Sin Harvest]

437 Delay, I love you Usukane body.

T5 and T6 VNMs (or perhaps 2 new paths) could be in the 3 new areas and their current area.

[Priran]

I for one look forward to camping some mob/the AH for whatever item I need against literally the entirety of the server population

[Hyan]

Yeah, why the fuck did that stupid dev team raise the level cap in the first place? Fucking shitty devs.

[Kalasin]

They said they uncapped CoP zones and battlefields.. nothing about other zones mentioned.

[Deathbringer]

Maat: Surprise bitches its time to fight me again!

[Deader2818]

So uh, since the new area is limited.... How do we get to 80?

[MaachaQ]

I had kinda expected a note about AV being buffed too... I guess that'll happen in an emergency patch after 1-2 groups of level 80s make their first kill...

[Sumiko]

Sad Still no Magian Trails for Gjallarhorn or Aegis.

Huh. Certain =/= all
