June 21 Update - Data Mining Discussion

[Kimiko]

Well, one thing is for certain, we BLMs get a lot of work to catch up to the new top tier. =)

For example, my idea of a new nuking setup with all the added items included (minimum 6 pieces need to be added/changed from my current setup).

Main: (App. Elemental Staff)
Sub: Vivid Strap +1 (Int +1, Enhances "Fast Cast" effect)
Ranged: Witchsatch (Magic Atk. Bonus +2)
Head: Selenian Cap (MP +20, Int +4, Magic Atk. Bonus +2, Magic Accuracy +2, Conserve MP +3)
Neck: Goetia Chain (Int +8, Magic Acc. +4)
L.Ear: Novio Earring (Magic Atk. Bonus +7)
R.Ear: Moldavite Earring (Magic Atk. Bonus +5)
Body: Morrigan's Robe (Int +8, Magic Atk. Bonus +5, Adds "Refresh" effect)
Hands: Morrigan's Cuffs (MP +25, Magic Atk. Bonus +5, Magic Accuracy +5)
L.Ring: Galdr Ring (Int +6, Magic Atk. Bonus +1)
R.Ring: Sorcerer's Ring (Latent Effect: Magic Atk. Bonus +10)
Back: Pedant Cape (Int +6)
Waist: Cognition Belt (MP -30, Int +7)
Legs: Morrigan's Slops (MP +25, Int +10, Enmity -2)
Feet: Augur's Gaiters (Int +8, Elemental Magic Skill +3, Dark Magic Skill +3, Enhances "Fast Cast)

Swaps for day/weather effects include the new Zodiac Ring in place of Galdr, and the standard Sorc. Tonban/Elemental Obi combo.

Sniper's +1, wyvern earring, rajas ring, peacock charm, etc say hi2u.

On a more serious note:

SE said out loud and then posted in writing that they plan to let people upgrade their equipment as part of the magians. (They didn't say all of it, however so we all have to either wait of gamble by tossing it when it isn't being used.)

You did realize that the fully upgraded relics are no longer 75, but 80, and based upon SE's comments may have at least 1 more upgrade round after this update? Is this too hard to grasp that, for example, an ebody or usu body or morrigans will be fully upgraded to level 90 or even 99?

90 seems a wee bit late to be upgrading that. By 90 i'd definitely want something new or better. Lv 80~85 does seem kinda reasonable to me though.

[Vodou]

Skimmed through 27 pages and I didn't see anything relating to the level 80 relic upgrades. Or did I miss it?

Nah...

I haven't seen what trials were revised on the current ones or what the new trials are. It's a mammoth amount of data. I'm chilling and waiting.

[Knyghtmayre]

Yeah, you might be using a Sniper+1, a Rajas, a PCC, but if you don't have Homam or Bhaidate to go with that, who gives a shit? Whenever Sky was introduced, no one dare think "man fuck those pants from this tiger bitch, they'll just be obsolete in the future." Things will be replaced as the cap rises, deal with it. It's how it works in every other MMO, SE finally decided to try something new (to FFXI, not to MMOs). Taking the long view of "well I don't want this because it will just be replaced by that in 6 months" is just worthless. Play the game for the present, not for the unforeseeable future.

And really, I don't think that anyone said Salvage pieces wouldn't be upgradeable to 99. Nobody knows what is going to happen, since, you know, the update isn't even over yet. I was merely pointing out the hilarious hypocrisy every other poster seems to share.

[Vodou]

90 seems a wee bit late to be upgrading that. By 90 i'd definitely want something new or better. Lv 80~85 does seem kinda reasonable to me though.

Fair enough. I was thinking more of 2 upgrades (e.g., 80 and 90), but 1 more to get to 80 would be reasonable.

[Niiro]

Ah touche. The point still stands that morri isn't a completely dead piece. On another note, I haven't seen anything that looks like it comes close to skadi legs and usu body; is this a correct assessment?

Ocelot trousers compete with skadi legs, Juogi with usu body.

Both cases are dependent on whether or not you need the STP on skadi/usu.

Ocelot Trousers Rare Exclusive
Legs
DEF:23 Accuracy+6 Evasion+10
Haste+4% Enmity+6

Could be a pretty decent replacement for Skadi legs during tp for Cor. +2% haste and +2 Acc, assuming you can make up the stp in a different slot. The 6 stp back piece maybe. So much stuff to shift through, it's hard to be sure.

[Hitoseijuro]

So, how badly is Morrigan's Robe gonna get outclassed by Yhel Jacket +1 (The M.Atk +10, M.Crit Dmg +5% body for BLM)?

Basically about the same just going with the mab+10 vs 8int/5mab. The crit damage is about roughly 1mab overtime maybe 2? about 9-12 damage difference(9~19 on things like puddings)

there is the new 5% haste belt that has +5 sTP on it.

[Khajit]

Theres also a haste4% mask that has stp4

[Shenrien]

they really made getting a 6hit so much easier for every 2h job while maintaining a good haste value.

[Red Demon Taoist]

Holy ess!

Reading through the new equipment... my thoughts are primarily centered around SE's competence as an MMO developer and how SOMEONE apparently woke up, logged on and figured out how people play their game. There's hope for FFXIV yet.

Only for Dragoon.

Other jobs will have to rely on the new belts/capes/etc. until the next gear additions.

[Genrye]

Drg has a problem 6 hitting with turban?

[Therin]

What's your point? Both the cape and belt are significant upgrades over the standard two-hander TP pieces these days (Cuchulain's and Swift Belt).

[Cail]

is it 930 yet? i wanna start QQing about how no xp spots are open to get my merits and then 76-80

[lolwut]

Good choice. 3% haste gain and can still shave a hit.

[Zumi]

I probably wouldn't use that new belt over v-belt for 1% more haste if its a lot easier to die from random aoe.

He was probably referring to the belt.
